Ghost rider
I see you're riding with the ghost
Not even around to say hello
Yet I believe in you what I can't see
Am I a fool or an optimist?

bird
I spread my wings not to just fly away.
But fly so high I just might stay.
Out of touch, out of reach, or just taking a day for myself.
Sometimes it's nice to just get way from everybody else.

Abstract
Are you trying to steal my soul tonight?
My surrender inevitable
In the eyes
Of reflections on my choices
Don't look in the mirror
A shadow that fades leaves nothing more than a permanent scar

Friends with Benedicts
I'm not afraid to tell you I love you
Just afraid you won't need me
So independent will my passes at you be in vain?
I could make you feel special  yet
You indulge all that demeans
Like a discarded servant
You live to be controlled only by
Those who have no interest
My minds draws a blank when I think of us

A whole lot of nothing...
Could I be holding on to something deeper
Fishing with the wrong bait
I always knew emotions would be the end of me
Not the beginning but overtime its taken a toll
The smell of your hair doesn't phase me anymore

When the wind bellowed it hit me
not the wind but a whim
I went on it and was in search of the answers
Like a word search my minds scrambled with the right thoughts
The words just don't come out

Sky is over
Disconnect the clouds and in comes new life above the world living in abstract swirls of shape shifting paradise where everything is imagination guessing what the next cloud looks like silhouettes better yet a pillow of fluffy innocent air but do you dare to live above the rest?

LGC
it's been awhile since I could remember how to love
Let alone be loved, I'm not sure
What I was doing before
All I remember are the times I've wasted beating around the bush
It was an immense bush I remember going in circles for a while
A numerous amount of times
I even got lost, around a circle go figure
But that's just it I lost my way and you helped me bring what I once knew
Back to life, and made it our reality
I've said the "L" word many a time
I'm positive most of you have too
But how many of those little "L" words did you mean?
Strange, and not fun to think about
Sometimes it just doesn't work out
You want it to, who doesn't?
I've never had a love so strong I couldn't wait to wake up
Next to you, half asleep
Rubbing your eyes hoping to see me better
It's the little things that have made me fall in love with you
And those very things that I've always wanted in and from anyone

REM Rhythum
Body tired mind wired
Heart beats and moving feet
Sight faded intentions jaded
Feelings numb head spun
Memories had feeling glad
Hands touched but nothing much
Words heard and people differed
Walks of life and all enticed
Say good morning before goodnight

The storming of...
What war are you waiting for?
Building up your walls to prevent me from storming them
Have a torture chamber ready for the first to care
Guns ready to shoot off in defense against your weakness
Moats to be filled by your tears over the years
Let down your gate and let me walk in
I promise to turn this castle of emotion
Into a warm beach with a view of the ocean
Round and round here goes nothing
I sent myself on a journey for something
They say kick your legs and paddle your arms
I thought this would be easier
I feel like I've been drowning for years
In the vast space that is my mind
Thoughts fill my lungs like fluid
But why do I keep opening my mouth?
Now I pay the price, my thoughts submerge me
I reach for help, with a snap, they desert me
I think too much, and the flood gates are open
But my thoughts remained kept to myself
Unable to float, I'm sinking again
Not sure this is how I wanted to say all this, but my fingers did the thinking for me on it so here you have it!

Lies
I'm the perfect vessel to fill with your lies
I'd believe anything looking into those eyes..
Fool me so hard I believe my truth is false
But you can take my hand and make it all go away
Just hold me close and say you will stay
When life gets hard and bridges are burned
Where will you run?

Dejavuu, it's a sign
When you have it your eyes go blind and you enter a premonition in your mind
You live the moment, memory, foresight
In awe you don't say a word
What do you think?
Are you headed in the right direction?
Is that what this means?
Is it a warning in disguise?
Or a bitter sweet surprise...

Just for you
I've felt your pain and I've heard your story
All I can say is I love you and I'm sorry
I wish sometimes I could be there instead
I had to leave because I only visited
You're my favorite don't you ever forget
I only wish I could fathom what goes on in your head
You can always trust me I promise I'll never let you drift away
If I come to see you it's going to be hard not to stay
If this isn't a sign that I care I don't know what is
If it means nothing that's fine I'll mind my own biz
I can't stand to see my best friend so lost and full of distrust
The weight should be shared because for you I can feel is too much
You caught me at a bad time but that doesn't matter though
Just know if you call I will always pick up
I just wish sometimes I had better luck
Never go and think I never give a ****
When it comes to you and any other best friends
I will seek my word I give to you all till the end
390 · Nov 2014
My heart to yours
Take my heart I'll take your pain
shall you remain in this mundane
Our love moving on a separate axis
Tilt the poles in our favor
For love to once again be savored

:)
:)
It's no surprise or mystery
I've checked you out, like a book...about history

Those eyes, they repeat themselves
Just like stocking books on the shelves

That look I've seen it before
Like a late night knock as if my window were a door

That smile though was nothing I've seen before
Like a drug, I had to have more

Feeding your brain to produce a smile
Half the time it was quite the trial but no error

I wanted nothing more than to see you happy
But even more to just have you look at me

I've held my hand out to you too many times before
That smile repeating itself like everything I've seen
No more...
Write no matter what state you're in let the emotion pour out

Goodbye South Carolina
Goodbye to rules hello society
Where freedom seems free but isn't at all
You take the time to create perfection
Just to corrupt the manifestation
Good luck

Influenced
I couldn't wipe  the stain of her kiss from my lips
My breath was stolen with each embrace
Each mistake I felt no remorse
I only felt closer to wear I belonged
I shut doors behind me, I can never go back
I'm no longer in control, I've lost the keys
But the key was to keep you away from me
There always was a reason why we were never meant to be left alone
Each and every night I'm looking for a new home
387 · Sep 2014
Repeat repeat
Living life in flashbacks with memories on repeat of the times that we could have had just you and me you say that you miss me and want to be closer but anytime I ask you never come over that's okay another day I said and it's been the same forever inside my head

Friday POETS day 1
It's never easy;it
It, like learning how to walk again;time
Take some, but sparingly, hurry up
A cut above the rest, we have to be
Super human, against our will be we will be
Step by step, won't ever turn back
Fortitude of a train we're always on track

                                        SOLDIERS!

Dreamin' #1
She knew I wasn't there to make a friend
She knew what I wanted from start to end
The look in my eyes, the language from my body
She knew I was looking for another girl who was naughty
I had the steps to get what I wanted
She wasn't digging what I flaunted
I had a system all set up, practically cash
She threw a curve ball, system crash
What she wanted she didn't play around this
She skipped my steps and went straight for that kiss
It's what I wanted this whole time
Valentines Day will you be mine?
384 · Jan 2015
Sun flower oh sun flower
Don't let thy wilt
A flower as precious as gold
Dancing with the sunlight a flowers emotion
rays from the sun stir up commotion
Illuminating the world golden petals to boot
Looking for happiness in its pursuit
Along the way you found a bed
Laid your seeds up in my head
To blossom into something new
With a little bit of me and a lot a bit with you

Roads
On a path others have paved does not ensure the road won't need work when it's your turn to use it
379 · Jun 2014
I hate them
Days like this ill look in the mirror to see if I'm alive
Days gone by I manage to survive
The words of a contemptuous society
Watch them cause erosion to our souls
Making other people mad today can be someone's goal?
In a world where we breed victims and encourage making others feel less inside
Have you looked in the mirror to see if you're alive?
When I look at you my hearts turns to air
Compress my chest while I play with your hair
Let those eyes be your voice and my hands will lead the way
Will you play this game of charades through the night?
Oxygen lacking I need to hold you tight
Swapping tongues to fill each others lungs
A sensual dance where we can never be wrong
Background noises from ourselves create a song
Compassion and love with a hint of sin
Intertwining hands, limbs and more
Pretending our hearts were aching and this is our chance
Mend it like no other you know the dance
Shuffling feet mesmeric trance
As if we already knew where to go
377 · Jan 2013
It's just how it is
I've done so much to please and appease you
Never asked for anything more or less
Than you to be my friend not acquaintance nor best
Give and take, you get and get
Not so easy, I ain't your pet
When the time comes and you need me around
You can find our friendship six feet underground
375 · Jul 2014
Kaka
Strong on my feet call me kàka
Swift with this pen I'm coming at ya
With these rhymes and with my soul duh
Real words who need em got some world play like a rapper
Make it rain the truth on y'all call me the rapture
Challenge word kaka

General
I'll let my popularity catch fire on its own
No need to be shown, you can find it right in your own home
My effort is shown by all the work I put out no matter how dull
I take what ever I can get out of this thick skull

Just some words
Vanity

Take your pick, you know you slick but what would you do to get it?

Trust

Have you had enough? Do you give  a ****? or is it just my luck?

Promises

What are they to you? Just one or two? You're on the run for breaking them all.
Rough day, time to go home
To a place I like to call home
I like to call it home
Nice quiet place in the suburbs
Not much to it, but it works
few chairs, a couch in the living room
enough room for living I must say
the bedroom, the bedroom
Where I like to lay my hat
Where I like to call it a day
Where I like to start my night
I see you, and my heart races, still
I see you at the end of the day like a prize
I see your smile worth a million bucks in my eyes
where we can talk and lose track of time
Where I can come home and make you mine
We talk, we laugh, we fight, make up
We sleep, make love, wake up
To see you when I wake up is a test
I want to pass so I try harder than my best
370 · Jan 2015
Love on its way
Her walls as soft as fur
and mind as sharp as cheddar
Two things that couldn't go together any better
So I thought, and wondered in a moment of contemplating
Why are you insistent on waiting?
You tell me your love is ferocious and unending
Hungrier than a glutton with nothing to lose
What's this honesty under the influence of these *****?
Real or fake for goodness sake put my mind at ease
Such a way to draw out this tease
we got a couple drinks in me
my heart starting beating the sounds of loves symphony
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
War is the concept love is the game
368 · Aug 2013
?
?
I'm just trying to fit in so I don't fall off
No one to catch me only to toss me around
It's feels good for a bit, till it turns into spite
Sorry and sadness all inside with a smile to sit upon my face
My thoughts race not to finish but to collect themselves
Taking turns and burning out
These thoughts I've been having need to take a different route
So why fit in anymore?
Don't fit in just fit
The world is our puzzle we're just trying to fill it
364 · Dec 2012
Mind Out
Would you fall into the sky with me?
Could this life really be that easy?
You saved my life
I never asked for a thank you or wanted one
I just wanted you is that so much to ask
I love you like no one else
The tension rises the feelings clash
This game you play is sick and I'm tired of it
It's amazing what can happen over time
Over thinking, not quite  the words
Coy is what I use to be
This game is done between you and me
362 · Oct 2014
Goner
I lost my appetite and sight of my goals
Even my sanity along the way but nobody knows
These sleepless nights into tomorrow regret
This feeling doesn't come and go I'll make you a bet
Deep inside you'll find a curse
Shaped like a heart disguised as a hurse
I already thought I was a goner till my heart started beating again that's when I saw her blood racing with a story to tell
Nothing could stop me now I'm my way to hell
359 · Aug 2013
my hand, out to you
You've reached the botton of the barrel now just scraping for luck
Walking around hoping for someone to give a....****..
Digging for smiles but all the wrong ones
Hiding the sorrows from the world you've created
Why hide and keep living life so jaded?
Too easy to fall into a cliche but serious despair
I tried to tell you from the jump, I can and will always be there
359 · Dec 2012
She(revamped)
A man only knowing so much
He has found what makes him happy the most
Should be careful not to open his mouth, boast
Attention is a cruel mistress
Confidence she said, it's attractive she said
She stood in my way not as a path. but a road block
She made me swerve out of control and into her life
I should have took a left instead of right
354 · Mar 2015
Robert's frost
A house in the woods how quaint I ponder
Whose woods these are I yearn to wander
Away from the world of outside distraction
Opening a the door to my new found attraction
Writing poems to pass the time
Finding the scheme to continue the rhyme
A man with a dream that's hard to find
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
I'm writing all day and all night instead
Of sleeping in a so called bed
Where ever I lay my hat is my home
A hat on my head in which I roam
I'm glad I could get you to read this poem
352 · May 2013
South Carolina I'm coming
Vices to devices
Southern Comfort

Don't open your heart
Unless you plan to get hurt

You above me, just how it is
I'm here for now, then gone with the wind

Keep an eye on me, look all the way up high
Every night I'll look for your eyes, way up in the sky

I'm mislead to where I want to be
Why are you so afraid to accept me?
You fear the future and I hate the past
I can't catch a break if you keep telling me it will never last
I wait and wait on your prolonged replies
I run my hand...down your face, was this fate?
Time of death 9:58...
350 · Jul 2013
Those times
It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt
That explains this distance between you and I
My eyes could never leave your side
But besides that I was all yours
Enamured like a high school love
Make me sick to the core to know you're a..twisted person with selfish intentions
Intervention I thought we knew what it meant to be happy and I couldn't see a future without you
Now you're something I need to fix, a loose *****
349 · Dec 2012
I could be wrong
I think love is easier than most make it out to be
It's not about doing fun things all the time
It's about having the courage to lend half your heart to someone to see
To look at your faults but to also look past them
Careful as love is as fragile as glass
After all half a heart can only last
If the other heart gives back as much as yours
But a heart made of glass can only be broken
If true feelings and actions remain unspoken
348 · Mar 2013
What could and should be
The feeling, I couldn't explain
It's like I've been with you all these years
Like I've been going through the motions despite my fears
Of being alone, you make me feel ok, ok right at home

All I wanna do is look up at the clouds
Let the days float by with a chance of rain
If I could have you on this rainy day
We could wash away our problems all our pain
Just look up at the clouds and start a new
A new we knew could come true
346 · May 2018
I'm back*
This isn't my eviction notice because I've paid the rent
I'm finally back from all the time I've spent
Wishing I would and and thinking I'd never write again
This is my official statement
Reading: "I'll never put down the pen."
That being said I'm here to write my wrongs and everything along the way
This isn't anything fancy, but starting today
Here is my proof that I mean what I say
346 · Nov 2014
We need We
Misunderstood love comes common now a days
To begin to know or figure it out would be insane
Luckily lovers share the same brain
Waves merging to create  an illustrious codependent maze
341 · Jun 2014
Food for thought
I'm on a path to self destruction oh well at least I know where I'm going
My futures clear not bright but I can see it
Would you spend your whole life confused or take the sure thing?
Change
good or bad
Wish I had the time to
Change

What's done is done
It's time to move on
and change

The way I see the way I do the way I
Change
My perspective my life and my friends
I can't change them but I can change myself

Change

"I don't know what I want to do with my life or for the rest of it." Ever catch yourself just thinking about the future and always missing the present ? I hate having to worry about so much, I kind of wish I was born in a Different time you know? Unfortunately that is not possible as of now, you have to deal with what comes your way and face it head on. You won't always like what you come across and that is okay. But what you will always remember about where you are or how you got there, regardless of if you like it or not, things can always change and get better. But to have this happen you have to acknowledge the fact that change won't always happen on its own. You are the change, people can change, anyone and anything can change. I guess what i want to get out to the world or even a small part of some place no one has even heard of is that your life is precious no matter what you think of it. Someone cares about you, "There is love burning to find you.." people in general care enough to help you out through hard times and bad. Don't ever think for a second you are alone for there will be always that one person who will always be there. It might not always be a lover but a friend, it may not always be a friend it can be an acquaintance, it might not always be an acquaintance but a stranger. No one is alone in this world, your future can be bright even if the sun isn't shining. Take things life and your time as carefully as possible never let the present pass you by as we are always heading to the future and can often miss what we hear and don't see. More than what we learn is on the outside of school, life itself is our teacher and our reason to have and share it with more people. I want to let you all inside my head to show you what my life has been like, its nothing out of the ordinary but very different from most. What I mean by that is I am sure each of us have had our fair share of hardships and bad days of course we all have. I just feel like I have set myself up more for it than most people have, I feel as though that is but I could be wrong. I decided to write this  not for just myself, but for other people who may feel the same way about life as i do. Many things in life will test every fiber of your being and you have to be strong enough to endure it. I think it's the little challenges that are the hardest part because all the little things add up to be bigger things so its better to watch out for them and take them head on one by one no matter how long it takes. I want to quote another artist here before you make the plunge into my mind. If I still have anyone's interest and it just impacted the way I view life really hard without this person even knowing they did. “ What ever you end up with in life is what you wanted to be.” Please take the time to hear me out maybe I can help you understand things a lot better than you do now, maybe I can make you laugh, who knows enjoy the writings I wrote out just for you in my poems.

Relavance to who
It's hard to stay relevant
That's why I'm running low on friends
I leave myself open for them
But really I do it for me
So I can tell myself I matter
But does it really?
Like a jar you need someone else to open
It's always easier the second time around
When you loosen your grip like the cap of the jar
It's easier to see who your friends are
Take it easy you can't be liked by all
"A friend to all is a friend to no one."
Makes sense, you can't be everyone's friend
You have to pick and choose
In the game of life it's win or lose
As I read the words which turn to blurs I wonder
Why is it I'm up at night when I should slumber
Why can I hear the conversations in the rain
Each drop revealing everything even the mundane
Hiding what's behind the scenes it seems serene more like a dream but I scream
What is this reality that makes me lose my balance like no gravity
This weight unbearable barely 1 rep
But no pain no gain is that how it goes?
But we as humans never present our true feelings silly really
How a couple of words can save an eternity

Failure to love
Every day I live with heartache
Anytime of think I my mistake
Only one but that's all it takes
Can't have my cake and eat it too
When I said goodbye I'm done with you
I regret those words my wounds stay fresh and new
I'm a joker wild card a 20 waiting to bust
Ace up my sleeve just not enough
The flame I ignited in your eyes it started to fade away  
Dormant your love as the walls go up
I'm sorry those words just never enough
