In the silence, tapping a buzzing sound,  
Echoes of night where crickets abound,  
Do you know where we’re going,  
As the shadows keep growing?  

Rebuild, rebound, with each fleeting beat,  
Pace quicker, hear the thrum in your feet,  
Not fast enough, the night whispers low,  
Boy, go ahead, let your spirit flow.  

Underneath the stars, in the cool, crisp air,  
Chasing dreams that shimmer, daring to dare,  
With every heartbeat, feel the world ignite,  
In the rhythm of time, you.

When the rain washes you clean,  
Remember what you have  
And what you want.  
  SILLY FOOL
Nothing can stop this burning—  
Sixteen dollars, three uncut gems,  
A child support check,  
A ball and chain,  
And a hole in my pocket.  

And you know, I’m no baby.  
I don’t wanna go  
Back and back,  
Forth and forth,  
Pinky promise.  

Narcissistic, I am—my father’s name  
Is etched across my face.  
The whole town is laughing at me;  
I should’ve caught a fade.  
Instead, check your grit—  
A thin line between love and hate.  

Yet beneath their laughter, a fierce fire glows.  
They see the cracks, not the strength that grows.  
In this struggle, I find my way—
Every moment a battle, but I choose to stay.

Loving you is all I wanted
to hold your hands
clever thought, a gentle walk
me being silly, bumping into you
a pregame smile
talking and laughing the day away
dancing eyes only knew
hugging you
cause you are that absent piece in my heart
hiding in tears are heaven fears
Losing, seeing you smile
while pictures are Fading in my hand.

Twenty-four karats,
she's twenty-four karats
priceless like the Mona Lisa
she's my water
and I, the desert
Her reflection is my blessing

Nuthin' is every what we expect
trippin' over myself
believing in things, that just wasn't true
My future, disappointed

as I tried, living happily without her
like a silly butterfly in a field of daisies
drawn away
blinded by bright colors and fragances
left empty as the sun goes down

yellow moon, horseshoe and four leaf clover can't help me now
shakin' with that ****** twitches
reaping what I sown
adieu
erring, chasing fools' gold

Hot Day, light breeze
tiny bubbles
hope, faith and trust like fine china, care when handling

These are the days of our life we are living,
we are living the days of our life

Human errors, aching souls
ripping my heart like ***** failure
life support,
useless words to deaf ears

Flashing lights, emergency screams
beautiful lonely trails of salty tears have become a tsunami

No relief
In my sleep, I see you
Fragile,
tiny bubbles
Pop

Morning, I wait for her arrival
simple kindnesses, a sympathetic touch that awaking flowers
highlighted in pink....
Te amo’s kisses tremble the neck like a Richer scale,

In her I see faith, strength I can’t summon
my whole life i could spend in her arms,
Hinder me, past emotions
Let not Light see my black heart
God f   o   r   b   I   d, empty hands moment lived

What do you want?
I weighted your stare.
There’s no meat on the bones. You’re gonna have to pray.
I given in; I’m unable to moves forward.
Supply me air, tease no longer.
Another man mimic me.  Yellow highlighted performances.
Picture, pictures, picture
God, what have I done?
You stop, three silent moments.  Reload.
More pictures, even more, her without me.
This hurts. I cry.
She’s gorgeous, her eyes, her smiles, her hairs; beautiful, lovely beyond compare, her nails on hips, impressive.   Attitude, coach purse and boots,
too far gone, a glimpse.  Guns to roses
You have destroyed me, gram of sugars and Popsicle sticks on the living room’s floor.
What do you want, that dog no Hunt.
Pictures, pictures some pictures of you.
Season changes, people changes,
remove your hands from her view or leave me be.
