A wishing-well
on the ground
of an old school

A victim the building
of asbestos walls
and ceilings

The grass overgrown
the building falling apart
but yet the well remains

People stop regularly
I see cars as I pass by
with people around it

It always leads me
to think sincerely
about the wells power

You would think
if it could truly
grant a wish

Then why not one
of its own benefit
as it rests alone

What once used to be
a place of youth gathering
all singing and playing along

On the big playground
just slightly across from
the old stone wishing-well

The bells going off
for lunch and recess
also signaling school is out

But now things have changed
and the wishing-well all alone
with only visits at random

I truly believe the power
of the wishing-well was lost
when the kids love was gone

As it remains amidst land
with a ghost of a school
with overgrown grass

A depressing site for all to see
including the ones that stop by
with hopes of remaining powers

As they throw their choice
of coin in, make their wishes
and wait patiently to see

If only wite’out
wasn’t just for written words                                          
But for spoken too

Then maybe we would
      Still be a happy couple
          Together in arms

    If only we put
As much thought into speaking
         As we do writing

    Then maybe I would
      Still have my lovely Angel
  Versus this Haiku

Time ticks away
a new day
tomorrow brings
my heart stings
from today’s pain
hopefully by tomorrow
it’ll all fade away
and my heart can sing
refreshing my mind
restoring our love
no longer feeling threats
from who I was
because we both know
who I am, now

I'm not the Wizard 
but i'll gladly give you my
Courage, heart and brain

You know your destiny
you know your plan
but this______
keeps messing
it up for you

There's a world of distractions, there's a world of temptations, there's a world of problems and it's no longer my concern....  

Within these worlds is the world that really matters, it's the world I call home, it's the world where I'm a father....

Within a world
there’s a world
Within our minds
thoughts get lost
separating from
what we want
as they crash into
insecurities, feelings
and mental roadblocks
the past dictating
the future and by doing so
it continues to resemble
the world we try to
stay away from
but in reality
we only get
drug deeper in
as worlds collide
distracting us from
who we could become
we remain the same
a world inside a world
all created within our minds
where reality is blinded
by insecurities, feelings
and mental roadblocks
lost I remain
amidst the pain
as one day bleeds
into the next
as one problem solved
leads to another being created
as one world
slowly gets manifested
into another one
an age old problem
I just can’t seem
to be able to FIX

She's here
She's gone
She's in
She's out
She's content
She's fed-up
I'm here
I'm here
I'm in
I'm in
I'm content
I'm content
But it's not
just about me
Oops I forgot
SELFISH

I'm not a good person pretending to be a MONSTER

I'm a MONSTER trying my hardest to be a good person

REALITY

See me , see me not

Enjoy me , enjoy me not

Tie me , tie me knot

TWISTED

Make them to break them
RULES
Make them to fake them
GOALS
How about you just do what’s
RIGHT
How about you just do what’s
NEEDED
Make yourself make yourself
SUCCEED

Hate me
that’s okay
I love who I am
regardless the scars
or the false stars
bars and drinks
who cares what I
THINK
Stink
wink
I’m not oblivious to these
Thoughts of
who I am
******

I’m a man
yes living breathing
flaw infested human being
I never claimed to be perfect

Poetry is literally
everything you see
Believe me or not
look around or listen
Born from it, Hip-Hop,
Rap, slap games
Big bombs dropped
from lack of words
Head Games, fame
fortune, love, torture
Pain ends and begins
with messages or lack
of sent, a creator and deterrent
in the mix
Blood, water....thick
and thin! Enemy and
best friend, lost time
and time to come
Here to stay or on the run!
Love stories, romance
novels, old school values
morals encompassed
The light at the end of
the tunnel or the
darkness before
Hate expressed, faith adored, anger released from anger stored, it's the Mother to every word, Poetry is ALL

Today, yes starting now 
please grant me 
the power to stay strong 
remaining focused 
on what is important 
walking today's path 
guided by my 
moral compass 
Today, yes starting now 
please grant me 
the ability to not get distracted
or be tempted 
to stray away 
from what is necessary 
to fufill my purpose 
and reach my goals 
Today, yes starting now 
please grant me 
the courage 
to stand tall 
for what I believe in 
and to be successful 
throughout the entire day 
with staying true to 
WHO I AM

Two kinds of tears
1: the ones that cost us
2: the ones we would pay for

Chase the face
That still stares
Pretending to care
Leaving you bare
Always playing unfair
Do you dare?
As it tears
Your life part
Don't be scared
It's a layer
On top of
The real you
So just stop
Pick yourself up
Quit laying down
Raise your head
And climb to
The top again
Drop your insecurities
Let them escape
Your worthy skin
You're worth it
Regardless your sin
Forgive the ones
Forgive yourself too
Wipe that face
Covering up yours
And take control
We both know
You deserve to

To remember pain 
but to forget love 
To forget happiness 
but to remember sadness

Truth be told 
only we can decide 
On which feelings 
we want to focus on

Truth be told
within our lifetime 
We will experience 
the good and bad 

Without either 
we could take
Our life for granted
and everyone

I choose optimism 
it seems the best choice 
Its much easier to be happy 
when you try to rejoice

3......2.......1
blast off
from Indiana
to Vermont
from lonely
to her
in my arms
face to face
let’s figure it out
you write
well I do too
our words
express
a love missed
Confess
you want chased ?
you want impressed ?
I’ll gladly show
you the change
I want you to see
I want to be
next to you
Distance can’t
separate us
FOREVER
never would I
allow that
give up
on the excuses
quit viewing me
as a threat
forget the past
let go of the pain
we both shared
some tough times
but we both grew
through the healing
we share the same
FEELINGS
We cannot let
this love expire
FIRED
When we both want
the same thing
your name
I call
Will you listen ?
Can you hear me ?
Or do
I need to
SCREAM?
Hear me
PLEASE
You know that
I LOVE YOU
still

Desires to want to create poetry medicine drown out the temptation to dance with words

One ounce divided by all of you from the flesh of my pinky finger is enough talent to dilute the rest of the world!

Boy genius
no Jimmy Neutron
got game
Out of this
WORLD
Bigger, better
stronger, battered, lost
Amidst this
life long play
The Devil
calling some shots
I remain
a victim to
Adam still
SIN
One bite
One fight
One might
RETHINK
advice from
the snake
MISTAKE
Dont worry
great story
Loose lips
sink ships
Hungry mouths
got fed
Fed up
with
This ****
LIFE
Beliefs
Opinions
Decisions
All contradicting
Price
COST
Pay Up
Keep your head
Down
LOST

Tuning in and out of what I desire
and what I got
Amidst a perception
trapped in reality
Floating above
many hopes
Beneath
all of
it all.
ME!
