It’s amazing to me
How in one quick moment
Your life can change completely
For better or for worse

One bad decision
One overlooked detail
It could all change the course of your life
In less than a split second

Your journey is set for you long ago
But we still have the free will
To change it ever so slightly

There is always two endings
To every story
Every novel
And every life

She finds beauty in everything, in everyone
But she can't find any in herself.

I'M TRYING TO BE ART
BUT MY CANVAS IS WHITE
AND THIS PAINT IS WHITE
AND I KEEP PAINTING
BUT EACH STROKE
LEAVES ME FEELING
MORE B L A N K.

Have you ever held your breath,
Just to know what drowning feels like?
They told me that you can't
reach out and touch death,
but death has ghosted his hands
across my fragile skin.
Life is a delicate thing
and it can so easily be lost.
His cold hands on my cheek,
his frosty breath down my neck,
Death is watching.
In the wee hours
I am wakeful
When clouds are nesting
And the wind is thrusting
Carnival wildflowers glow

Twinkling in painted fields
a moon overflowed
And the rain begins to rouse
I rise in a dream
where my spirits soar
I faintly kiss the stream

Take me for a ride

Somewhere far, where spirits reside
Populated by death, yet lively at this time
A forgotten land where your soul is the guide
No more reason to hide, I see a ghastly fog in high tide
Past lives occupy this land, physical bodies cast aside

I just wanted to be free, a victim less crime
Escaped from reality, my ride booked ahead of time
I drifted from my body, to which i'm no longer assigned
No longer confined, a comfortable frame of mind.
Yet my joy is overshadowed by a shroud of malign influence

I feel emptier than I ever have before,
The spirits seem to implore for their previous rapports
What have I done? What have I left behind?
My entire world dissipated in the blink of an eye
The vitality of my identity of which I said goodbye
I now long for, death ensued my hue and cry

Had I known, I would have never set foot on that ride

the best poetry out there
was written down and tossed away
there's too much doubt there
so the words are lost today

the best poems out there
are like stones in the creek
submerged, without air
they never get to speak

the best poets out there
they are blowing in the wind
I can hear them shout there
again and again
