sometimes you just
gotta sit down and write
just grab the apple
and take a bite
just take a leap
into the dark night

if you want to be a poet
you gotta write poems
let the words go
wherever the wind blows em

sometimes your lines will ****
other times blow you away
but stay firm on that writing path
don't be led astray
by laziness and perfectionism
saying you can't do it
don't give in, knock em down
push yourself right through it

let the poem be what it is
let its rhymes ring true
knowing as much
as you're writing the poem
it's also writing you
success comes
through failure
improvement comes
through the grind
go ahead
write bad poems
they'll make you better
in due time

My grandpa
             Words he gave
                            To me once upon a full moon
“Son” he said
            “When you go into this life”
“Remember, that love is a language “
             “So find, my son, find someone”
                     “Who speaks your language “
      “So you don’t have to translate your soul”
                                   Hmmm.

There was no surprise
when mushroom clouds filled the sky
inevitable

Sunlight reaches  
Empty rocking chair rocks
A cat stretches
That's me,
I try to grow in places people
would never think I could,
To some I am a ****,
To others a wish,
But I can heal too.

So beautiful
I mistook you
for a sunset

when you
conceal
and not tell
the whole truth,

you leave me
in a position
where I can
forget,
but can't forgive.
