...The air is thick
heavy
burden to the soul
and every beat
gasps for light to flee
from a blinding choke
It's a nightmare
of visions
when you see
tomorrow will never
breathe
You suddenly recoil
to a memory
of the days when the air
smells like the sea
playing with the shore
one painted
sunset...

The winds never flew with distorted wings nor feared the crow's caw echoing in the twilight till proud Man came...

...The Seas drown themselves
with the ale from their bile
feasting flesh upon flesh as
a ravaged lady mourns
for her daughters
and sons
were fed to the fire
Tomorrow is losing
into a fade and
windows will never see
a sunrise again
nor a flower's
bloom with joy
and the only red left
in this world is
the blood that paints the streets
of a narcissistic ideology that
manipulates every breath in this plane
Soon
on that horizon
behind the mountains of men
the skies will bleed and
gray clouds will fear
the shadows
of uncertainty...

For all the times it's been said
For all the times you've been misled
To all the tears you quietly spill
To all the memories that give you chills

Like all the stars burning too far away
Like all the dreams you wanted to stay
How all the years that went by real slow
How all those people just didn't know

When all that time you faded dull
When all your limits got stuffed too full
And all you've done is tried to stay in line
And all your mouth could mutter was
"I'm fine"
It's going to be okay
That's what comes out
When there's nothing else to say

Like it even matters to them
They don't know where you've been
Time to supposively move on
But how, when all happiness is gone?

Inside, it's nothing but numb
Yet they say a better time will come
When thinking all emotions become tears
Wishing we could go back to better years

But that's probably not going to be
When the future is all we're able to see
As we stare back to the past and our dreams
So far away now, it seems.
Something I wrote a long time ago. I find my adolescent mind to be much better at poetry than I am now...

sitting in this room
of a place i've known since birth,
i think

walking through the town
filled with people, all the same,
i think

the ghost of your lips on mine
as we listen to music to keep us high,
i think

i think of what's good for me
and i know that it is not here,
not very morally sound,
and i don't give a ****.
