you could never take a compliment
they're buried with the rest of 'em

my mind is prone to atrophy
rewind your body next to me

no lies in our comfort zone
take this time turn off the phone

we are not an accident
don't be so incredulous

  it's getting dimmer, swimming in a shoal...
  dinner bells resound like white fog around a light pole...

heaven cannot face us
not to be complacent

devil wears my shoulder
your angel is adjacent

seven years of chances
still drowning in a basement

you could never take a compliment
they're buried with the rest of 'em

Blessed with a sky of waterfall
I let my thoughts run amok the greedy raindrops
The beats, the trickle and the gush
  Resting on concrete sand
With nothing but thin fabrics that clung to my skin
It's a silence of pleasure
Being caressed by the cold
Surprisingly peaceful
To let the wind slowly, at a leisurely pace
Invade your body's temperature
Humming in your ear
A songful of promises
That faith never fails
And patience rewards
Tempting you to stay seated
Wait out the storm
The clash of waves a raw entertainment
And a rumble of applause
Somewhere beyond those thick clouds of uncertainties
Words unspoken
I let myself listen instead
Letting the mysteries solve themselves
Unanswered questions
Offering crystal answers
And found it rather enjoyable

Sometime the best nights sleep comes

           When you spend the day being

                           Humble

                           Selfless

                           Helpful  

                        Sympathetic

I started
giving ink
to my tongue
and for some reason
I developed a sleeve tattoo
that spelled courage
Speaking without borders
speak your heart

Benevolent bee
Buzzes to death for his queen
Somehow…not enough

What fun this is!
To have people cheering
following
believing
in your vision!
Fueling your ambition!

It's like all the voices that doubted you
are done!
And you and your supporters
are just having fun
as you dance while you fail
and dance while you succeed,
and you just become filled
with a pleasant greed
and motivation
as you feel like you an your dreams
are set in full motion!

...
But how devastating it all becomes
when this all goes in an instant
and everyone gets distant
and bored
because they never really cared
if you scored.

In a time like this you remember
that you are always on your own,
and the only people that might have cared
were just you and your folks
back at home.

If they spell
Evil to you

Be wise

Let them get paralyzed
By your kindness

A wind stopped her.
Suddenly, she was a pebble
To the emencity of the Mother Earth.

Blankets of clouds warmed
Her lonely soul.

The crickets song
Was the most beautiful choir
She has ever heard.

Chilled grass upon her skin
Was nostalgia in a touch.

Her mind stilled.
Her heart restored.

No longer a woman,
But a child,
Beside a sea in the sky.

A beautiful mind
Without the courage to show it
How else would then,
The World come to know it?
A message in self-belief.
I used to think my ideas were dumb and no one would read my work.
It really took leaps of faith for me to keep trying and believing in myself.
