"withthe" poems
A red moon cast on a folly filled night
Humans hid away in fright
A haunting melody was in the air tonight
For the Bone King had arisen from his lair
A lone maiden of silky woven red dared
For she ventured into lands mortals bewared
Slowly following the music of the dead
Not knowing where it led
She encountered the King amongst the tombs of the undead
The land around him had already dwindled
Not even a single flower had remained
But she did not dare fleed
Slowly she took his bony hand
As they danced amongst his land
The Bone King was in disbelief
Why was this fair maiden not scared?
“Maiden, wherefore art thou not afraid? I dareth not guaranteeth thou art safe, f'r I am but a monst'r.”
“Why should I be afraid of the most magnificent being ever made? My king, you fail to understand, for our souls are a reflection of one another.”
"I am a monst'r, am I not? F'r all apart from thee did withdraw, leaving me withthe sc'rn undead."
"You are for them, my King. But what value do the words they utter hold? Beauty rests in the eye of the beholder."
"And f'r me, thou art the most wondrous."

tell me
what you want
because i want you
you look the same way
the sunset paints brush strokes
on the horizon
i want to be your horizon.
sometimes we love without a reason why, without knowing anything except for this. the way we clumsily work toward interlacing our fingers reminds me that life isn't perfect until we're content withthe fact that it's not perfect.
you make me see all that life can be. with you here, i am more than content. i am happy.
you changed my life.
like an autumn evening
changes green to red.
to yellow.
your smile is my
favourite constellation.
and i play connect the dots between
the corners of your mouth.
you make me love.
myself.
life.
the world.
you.
always.

Sitting on a bluff, enjoying a cup of coffee.
Watching the sun rise over the horizon.
Not a cloud in the sky,
The sunlight a bright gold.
The oceans water is calm,
No waves,
Cool breeze.
Looking out over the beach,
There's a red head sitting on a rock,
Enjoying the suns morning glow.
Her hair waving in the breeze,
Is ablaze withthe light shining through.
She's facing the water watching the sunrise.
Quietly, I lift my cup to her,
Taking a final sip of my coffee.
The sun has fully risen.
I get up,
Fold my chair,
And I walk back to my car.
It's time to begin another day.

None could rip apart this
My mentality sharp as cactus
Make use for fools target practice
Once the light collides with the darkness
Invoke death like a carcass
Off in yo sarcophagus
You go cuz you know
They cant hang with me
Replica of the past history
My story hittin- all categories
While enemies stay worried
I stay buried
Deep in the ground
With knowledge all around
Pain comes with gain
Like thunder clouds to rain
Like nerves to the brain
Wake up man understand the change
Slavery never left
Game hasn't end
Cuz Washington's are the refs
Calling fouls unnecessary
Rich folks the beneficiary
Kind of scary poor folks go broke
To the cemetery
Only to be collected
By a status thats legendary
Like taxes goes the treasury
Hypontized by the tv
Nothing but a lighted hypnotist
Sick of this if ignorance is bliss
Im really not at a miss
Withthe world thats so cold
Hard to stand bold and evade the scold
When new things are really old
Break the strong mold and hold
On to something worth livin
Be who i wanna be
Ears become my sight
So vividly a blind man could see
