Rip my sanity,

it was melted from the truths,

that made me spiral.
Lucien Sep 22
Perhaps my silly feelings
Were all in disarray
‘Cause I say that I like you
Do my words hold true this way?

His eyes that shine like gold
And yours that shine so bright
I cast my hook to sea
And hope it’s you, I might.

tried reading kerouac
but I couldn’t
likewise ginsberg

but I liked reading
ferlinghetti, corso and o’hara

In my defense,

I don't care about

homework

or my grades.

Not because I just don't,

no,

it's from the fact

that it doesn't matter.

When I'm older an employer

won't look at an english assignment,

but they will my college

and my achievements.

I am told to waste time,

time that will fly by,

and do work I already know.

Why waste my time,

reviewing something I can do in my head?

I can memorize the notes,

read all the lines,

but still they want me

to waste MY time.

My friends, and my dreams, and
My hope, and my drive, and
My rest, and my age, and
My will, and my love,
And my life, and me -
Equals 0.
Just something inspired
How selfish of me,
to crave a happy ever after,
when I have already tasted forever
in a fleeting moment with you.

It was enough
to carve your name into my bones,
to make the world without you
feel smaller, emptier, colourless.

And yet…
if once was all I was given,
if forever was just a heartbeat,
then I would choose it again.
And again.
And again.

Because even as a wound…
our love was still the sweetest eternity.

Poetry Submissions now being accepted.

Example from a submission

The Sudan California
People have water
In the Sudan?
And oil and fire and tarnish
Miscible treasury
As in Thousand Oaks California
I for one cannot reach my Sudanese Archway
Without war mongering fear hate teaching itself
The touched parts of myself for one day
Not allowed the oasis of bathing
Without city council
Economic freedom votes
Tens of millions of Sudanese Americans
Have the identical rainfall amounts
I have a gripe of French soaps
