Maybe tomorrow
Or will it be today
My voice will ring
far and wide
and I will have my say.
I have thoughts and dreams
I have so much to give
I have no empty feelings
and my head is not a sieve.
Listen, that is all I require
Just to be quiet and give me praise
But my bits of paper are tossed out
and they land in the fire.
Burnt; my dreams forgotten
Back to the land of the nothing
Someday, sometime, somehow
My dreams will not be rotten.
They will come alive.
Someday, sometime, somehow.
Reggie just gets a little
too excited for my taste
and so on most days
when he sees that I've
responded cordially
to his invites to
come on over at
two a.m. because
no, no he's not
just a little bit wasted
he just wants to,
idk watch a movie
at two a.m. probably
in his bed so that we can
be chill. and to all this
when I say no, he just
keeps on asking
night after night after
night, I finally grow a pair
and tell him that I admire
his persistence but not
at two a.m. because all
he sounds like at this hour is
sloppy and I like to know
that whoever I choose to ****
will remember me and how I
got there by morning come.
But I do admire his persistence.
But I do admire his persistence.
I would rather dream an eternity
To sleep all moments away,
Keep my eyes closed
To the horrors of today,
Like a nightmare
People living it everyday,
Are we not
Human kind
Mankind
We are the same,
But to look at the world
A tinder box of hatred
Will we just throw it all away
Can good win
When bad is always seen each day,
Where is the silver lining
Where is the happy ending
Cant we all be happy if not for a day
I wish to sleep, to dream my life away,
Because reality is the nightmare
That which keeps my eyes closed, to dream my days away

You might have loved me
If you had known me,
If you had ever known my mind,
If you would have walked
through my Dreams and Memories,
Who knows what Treasures
you might have found.

Yes, you might have loved me
If you had known me.
If you had only
Taken the time.
A good writer
doesn't need to curse
in order to express emotions
or make a point.
Things like "I'm so ******* depressed" is NOT true poetry
Blank canvass,
Then colour brings it to life
Shades and tones scratch in to picture
It bleeds creativity,
Moments become minutes
Which consume the hours of the day,
A picture is formed by
Impressions,
Outlines ,
Engraving.
Life upon the page,
One last brush stoke, shading put there
Complete,
But what did my brush strokes create
A hand, as if  reaching out the page
Ominous,
Distressing,
Sinister,
Is what covered this canvas of white
To look upon it,
"Did my eyes deserve me"
Moving forward as if to clench
I move, but to slow
As what was inanimate,
Now paint drips off as it has hold
Upon my hand,
The paint seeps up as I am consumed
By the canvas
Holding on to the frame,
My finger scratch upon the wood
As I scream,
The terror frozen within the paint,
I am but brush stokes
My face painted on canvas
The hand upon my shoulder
I am cold now,
I am for eternity now the paints prisoner,
The hand is my guard
Such vivid brushstrokes
As if she painted fear upon the canvass
A master piece of cloth and paint
Not knowing I am trapped now for eternity
Terror painted within this frame.
I forget myself
in the quest for happiness
and a perfect love.

Out my window
the same world
different day, day after day

I want to grab my bolt bag
tie a red bandana
around my sweet mutt's neck
hop a train, act sane
for a change

Georgia's down the tracks a spell
and Birmingham's half-way to hell
New Orleans in September
sounds pretty good

Woof and me
living free
no cares to carry on our backs
singing clickety-clack, clickety-clack.

I like it when he
rests his head
on my shoulder
as if to let me know
that he is really
here with me
and not just another
sick memory
from what we were.

I like the way
his hair strands
tickle through
the sheers of my
shirt, breeze
sifting through
the vents of his lips,
cooling my warm skin.

He is *here.

1 month and 7 days since the last day i saw you, i swear it was like 1000 months.
I miss you, i miss everything about you!
Your face,
Your smile,
Your hug,
Your smell,
The way you look at me!
The way you talk when you're angry!
The way you laugh!
The way you talk about someone you hate!
I know that we weren't saw each other everyday, but the feeling that we're in the same place makes me feel safe!
I can't say you're my love or my happiness because actually you mean EVERYTHING to me.
I keep thanking god every single day for having you in my life!
I can't imagine my life without you!
