Bio
Let me start with a cliche: I love to write.
Let me edit it: I love writing
Lying on the floor
Truths in my head
Think
Of me
Baggy Pajama Pants
There was a time of peace
Now a distant memory
These battles have left me wounded
Alone and scarred
Here lying on this ground
In the end, I realize
I was not against any other
I was only at war with myself
after a little over a year, i wrote a follow up poem entitled 'Peace'
http://hellopoetry.com/poem/851903/peace/
Seconds seem like ages,
But hours are so short.

Time passes slowly
But it all ends so fast

Hearts beat,
Leaves fall.

Wind blows
Shivers run.

Heart stops
Tears fall

Memories left
A ghost to recall.
Listen for the silence
That's when you know you have been heard
Listen for the silence
Then you dare not speak a word
Listen for the silence
As they think of a reply
Listen for the silence
But, don't confuse it with a sigh
Listen for the silence
You got your point across
Listen for the silence
You know you have them at a loss
Listen for the silence
It's when they're backed up to the wall
Listen for the silence
You know they are about to fall
Listen for the silence
You know the arguement is won
Listen for the silence
Say no more, the fight is done

i know you said i shouldn’t wait for you
but like sandra d
when it comes to love,
i have nothing better to do
every other boy is
a dry saltine *******
so let me keep my broken mood ring, babe
i don’t care if it’s stuck on blue
if wilted flowers
ever bloomed again
into a different kind,
one that would be
so much beautiful
than it ever was,
you would be that flower.

Push my back against a wall
and yell until you're hoarse;
Slap me around,
knock me to the ground
and kick me 'til you're spent
Pound through my thick skull
and tell me how I'm blessed

Now shoot me
with an empty gun;
Scare me into remembering
what I've got to live for;

*everything
Door mat laid out...in front of my heart
accept this key and treasure thee
take good care..and wipe your feet
enter inside the biggest warmest place you have ever been
you'll want
to leave never again
As i walk through the twisted mountain way
all these things go and crowd my mind
i wonder if it was you
who i am meant to go and see

and as i wonder through the twisted mountain pass
your face lights up the sky like some sort of power
theres nothing i can do
dream of a day you'll finally be with me
as the snow keep on falling just over your blushing face
what do you do to hide all your  pain
i guess all you do is go hide with the trees
away from all these things you left behind

as i travel through the twisted mountain plane
all these boys who all had to go brake your heart
faces show up along every which way
remind you of hate left within
but you know its only just a start
a brand new day

as you travel down this dark haunted place
all the people who had died start to show their face
stare at the snow
features start to blend again
for we are all just one in the same
your daddy walked away
your baby may have drowned
your mommy hung herself
your man went away
but it doesn't mean that you should go and stay
look at the world such a beautiful place

as i wonder through the darkness of my mind
whats this thought that makes me want to shine
like the man in the sun
even when this mornings just begun
all this feeling i believe to be inclined
look at you standing by that white cypress pine
like the women of the stars
even as this mornings just begun
