#saving
Being in pain doesn’t make you a better man. I’d think that you of all people would understand. For the record, for all the damage that you have brought upon yourself. While they testified the evil you are made of, you ran away and hid yourself in a room, locked up. For the record, for all of the venom you took instead of help. Lay the lonely down to rest. Of us all, they were amongst the worst and the best. I just wish that someone else had reached out, and you would have had the courage to take their hand. Don’t talk to me. Don't tell me who you are. I don’t think I can handle any more scars. It was never your fault that they set such a high bar. I used to think that lonely men could be saved. I told it to myself; it was a fact, plain as day. He couldn’t be, they couldn’t be saved.

Teach a man to swim, hell make it through the water. Leave a man to drown, hell sink even further.
Your words grow like ivy, creeping through me, invading every inch. Winding around my ribs— beautiful, dangerous— suffocating beneath the shadows, between each crack.

In my darkness You saw my red heart pumping It was beating for you Like a glow in the night You found your way to me You asked if I was still alive I asked you to please come closer Please find out Your lips were warm And the softness heated mine They now matched my heart "Carry me with you Take me away from the darkness" Picking me up into your strength Carrying me like a child My head against your chest We were now we And alone I can never be

Come Close
The real question may not be, "Who's good and who's bad?" It may be, Who's trying to save the world, Who's mislead? So when we look upon the mess that we live in, Consider it, Who's trying to save this world, Who's manipulated by it?

Who's Trying To Save The World
Broken wings of anger Spirit covered with hate Burning eyes slain with curses His harp that once sounded with praises Vanished and moaning in pain Paint vanity while grieving Burning the flesh with his own The moon freezes with his voice Remembering the night of his fall When faceless god saw him and call I shall give you the world The weakness of my mortals With fear and pain savor their flesh Succumb their crafts to rest Scorching fire curtains the tears Oh his silent tears The sacrifice of losing home Follow the hands who made your soul Let go of the will act the scroll His heart was breaking when he look his fall When faceless go saw him and call I shall give you the hands To punish and bend Disguise beauty, seal despair Lead my picturesque destruction Till they seek my heavenly salvation Sitting and listening His harp sounding light He knew echoed footsteps call Faceless god would vanish his soul The blessed night of his fall....

Saving Satan
The heart shaped piggy bank rolled down the street. You waited until the door was open and then rolled right out. I slid my last dollar in, building towards something more something more than paper-thin ambition, a future that includes you, in some shape or form. I don’t know how you fell, or how you got down from the shelf. Better a dollar bill than my hand stuck inside you. I’m glad you didn’t break. I fed you all my dreams, all my ambitions. It’s no wonder you didn’t explode when you hit the ground, waiting for something real

Heart Shaped Piggy Bank
why do i apologize when im the one who got hurt? how many times must i search for forgiveness in the hands of someone who limits the air i breathe? while they wipe their sins on my clean clothes, the filth makes me a martyr my body doesn't feel like my own, the faded scars on my arms seem so unfamiliar what have i given up to be able to blame myself for all the ways in which someone can hate? my skin has become unyielding, not allowing the words i have to say spill from an empty canvas onto deaf ears this heart has caved in, occupying the empty spaces that once belonged to functional lungs - where have they gone? everything has become so blue, an ocean has swept me away, and the stars have taken over the sunlight glistening within the waves why must everything become doomed in the end?   if i fall to my knees in defeat, face the pain of others and call the afflictions i've been given freely, as grace. does this mean that I've been saved?

savior in disguise
Elegantly without mistep put up the dish Tremorlessly clean the mess of a mind Upon the sacred fall outs make a wish Ask the universe for freedom to be mine Find yourself before you heed all that's broken Be careful to not step on the glass shards Try and try to be there try and listen So that maybe you can mend broke hearts Be there when his whole world comes down Greet him without a sympathetic sigh Trust your arm to hold him close Because Into your shoulder he'll cry Fight the unseen battle walls Crack your imposing glass ceiling Because no matter how many times you fall You'll never get a risen feeling Tell him you'll be ok for him So long as he himself is ok And sometimes you'll have to lie to him Because he desperately needs you to stay Fight through the worst of mental storms Ignore everything that causes you pain And when the worst of news has formed You tell them that you're ok

Fixing shattered
When a man learns to love, He must bear the risk of hatred. But is anyone willing to risk being hated just to save him? I guess not Not when the person you're saving Doesn't want to be saved. Yet, There are some foolish enough To save that person. I am one of those fools.

A cruel cycle
“We are the US government” We can print out of thin air Mister Sherman says aloud Which should be quite a scare But yet he says of Bitcoin (Amazing that he can dare) That bitcoin isn’t valuable But created from thin air Bitcoin has a cost to make A cost that can’t compare To fiat’s cheap and easy flow Debasing the saver’s share Thank you Mister Sherman For making us all aware Of your Cantillon privilege Printing money from thin air Study what a bitcoin costs To make one - with work & care And you’ll see Bitcoin’s value Come join and get a share Thank you Mister Sherman For helping us to prepare As our dollars get debased Since they’re printed from thin air

Out of Thin Air (Bitcoin Poem 054)
Made for you You didn't use it Can't get it back Gone forever Always there... Is it waiting for itself? If you find out Let me know I need more...

like a compass that has lost north spinning without pattern, without end my heart races erratically, unmoored by just the soft touch of your hand

untitled (or not)
..the night when heaven wept.. ..the flowers turned their petals' down.. ..quiet, the footsteps on the ground.. ..pick me up out of this mud.. ..take my hand and pull me back.. ..some sad, some sick, some lost, some lone.. ..they'll roam anywhere to find a their home.. ..the truth's its gone, but they can't move on.. ..keep on singing this sad song.. ..the night when heaven wept..
