There are tales in mythology
Of horses adorned with wings
The true lords of the air took flight
Majestic were these steeds
Swift as a gale of wind
Unwearying of flight
The winged steeds sprung from Gorgon’s blood
Sweeping through the night
Their beauty was marveled by god’s
As well as man alike
Strong and brave were Pegasus
They feared not from a fight
In battle they would soar the sky
And reign down on their foes
Like the beast Chimaera
Or so the legend goes.

Black and white
And neon lights
Vivid colors
Stars and stripes
Brighter days
And dim lit nights
Undiscovered
Or in plain sight
To be revealed
When the moments right

A get away
An escape
A conceptual embrace
Stories’ unfold
As they’re told
Deciphering real from fake
The imagination blossoms
Concepts are reborn
Prepared with an umbrella
For shelter from the storm

I still don’t have a love
A love to call my own
It’s hard to meet somebody
When you’re sitting home alone

If I could only venture out
Into the world unknown
Maybe I’d find someone
That my heart and mind condone

Life is trial and tribulations
Perseverance to behold
I’m not saying anything you don’t already know
But it still needs to be told

I’ve been stuck in hiding
Destructive to my soul
Afraid to go on living
The whole things overblown

With anxiety a plenty
Depression undertones
I closed myself off to the world
Waiting to explode

But life is kinda funny
There are no one way roads
There’s twists and turns
all along the way
And I’m not sure where they go

Life is after all a journey
We’re just skin and bones
The answers come in adventures
Just like Indiana Jones

So buckle up for impact
I’m headed on down the road
Expect the unexpected
When you’ve spun out of control

Life comes with experience
Not writing words in poems
It’s time I dusted off my old blue jeans
And put on some fresh clean clothes

It may go horribly wrong
I might get fully exposed
But giving up is no solution
If you weigh the cons and pros.

It’s time I faced the music
Stepped out from my safe zone
Engaged in life and spread the joy
Of a time I used to know
