I Step on Stones.
In Circles, Cloaked.
Around a Choking Shell.
Who's fed the words he wrote.

Perched atop a mass of Ego.
He Brags; he Swags; he gloats, as he knows,
He's like every other Starving Artist.
His Stomach Screams for the taste of his own.

A phony pony stuck at home. He,
Licks the ink of his own stories.
Hand in mouth, with a hand no doubt,
He'd rather kiss then any Glory.

Eat the Paint, and Verse the Strokes.
Reverse your mind, negate the flow.
Get over yourself.
I chose a title as ambiguous in the beginning as it was clear in the end.

We dance in the days,
That have already come.
As we rise to greet,
Where our futures come from.
But what matters most,
Is seen not as fun.
So please, with our grace,
Let us live,
                   For Today.

A wind so strong it stripped the Putrid from sky.
Stripped the Dead from their light.
Stripped the Silence from night.

It carried their Souls.
As Easy as leaves.
Greed bleeds the flowers Green.

The toll of War is cold.
Only meadow holds Peace.
But Peace without doubt,
Cannot be relief.

Screams
             Purge
Haunt
             Earth

A wake brings Sleep.
A Dark new day.
Deaf ears so Meek.
As Quakes lay waste.

A Wind so strong it pulls, not pushes,
The Whispers of warriors and their Flags, before this.
Knocks on the doors and calls to their ******,
Like Poison dripped to the Bottom of a Bottle neck; Sonorous.

A Fever like Fervor,
A Mist that once knew Her,
A Glass that's now Empty,
On a Sunset spelled ******.

I've come to learn that I Yearn to burn inside.
More so than your Blush burns in Light.

Love, Lift me Off my feet.
Lust, Lean me Forward softly.

I hold your face,
A glass I could never break.

And I Pull you in.
As I'd do; Then, and Again.

Because I am a Kite.
With you,

My Ecstasy.
This is one of my favorite older poems.
I recently transcribed it to fit my modern mood.

Hoping the streetlights spark my heart to flames.
Solid white lines.
Lead me to the top of the sea.
Tide crashing.
Fill my lungs with this moment I breathe.

As broken hearts, keep it falling apart.
Clench, collapse.
Be kind to the scars.

For infinity,
You are the moment I breathe.

Whispers **** hunger,
Poisoning the hour,
Resting forever, as the second hands swing.

Stop watching me.

If silence were violent,
It'd be killing me.
A trembled sigh,
Knots the tie.

Swallowing my pride,
I shape up to the shame.

Face the day.
Erase the hate,
Tomorrow...

I'm only a link
The only thing
That connects you to them

The invisible fence
Who's stress and distress
Will never, ever, be seen
