Lonliness

Loneliness, Depression, Dry tears feed the unquenchable. Wrapped in warmth, Pull it tighter, Pull it closer. The body’s warmth does not translate, Does not affect the internal discomfort. Restless and delusional, The cup’s all the way empty And less than a little full. In a cell many miles wide, But... Sign in to see full entry.

Locomotion

Engine propelling me down the tracks, So fast I never look back, So fast I never have a chance, To See. Locomotion has me in motion, Wind in my air, I inhale ambition, And exhale success. Blue skies above, And rich soil below. Such beautiful crops could be grown… But I’ll never know, I’ll never... Sign in to see full entry.

Keil Roof

Well the world’s fallin’ down before me, Crashing explosions are all around me, Fires burn both inside and outside of men, I may be dead before I can count to ten. Something chaotic is out there- Out there in the cold. And I am so scared. I’ve been looking for something to keep me going Something to... Sign in to see full entry.

I’ve rolled with punches, And rolled into spiked walls, Pin cushions dripping… Poisoned for me alone. Bare foot and beaten, I trudged through mud Searching for solid ground, Searching for something So many others have found. Dispirited and down-trodden, I fought through tears Looking for happiness,... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s a place where the fresh water is crisp, A place where the rain will play symphonies on the leaves. A place of endless beauty and soulful peace. A place where all four...

Glass cases of emotions, Late night romantic explosions, Alcoholic love potions, And seas of boredom. Smiles both innocent and not so much, Humor is a way to fame, But so is a crutch. Different factions, Making nations unto themselves, Childhood books grow dusty on shelves, Thoughts wander to ask if... Sign in to see full entry.

Maria

Burn Maria, Quema timida, Show me me, in all of my mystery. Dame respuetas en su humo. Burn, Burn Maria for those lost souls Burn for the bourgeois, and those with no goals. Quema bella maria, dime su secreto. Ven conmigo, yo te protejo. Sign in to see full entry.

Boredom

So many options present, Yet none appeal. Where’d the energy go? Today has lost its’ zeal. Should I stand or walk? No not today. Should I sing a song? Not now I say. What about just going over there? No…there’s too much cold in the air. Nothing at all to do, Because I make it so, Should I be bored... Sign in to see full entry.

An experience of my youth

Mysteries found in the wind, Pushing green grass towards the ground that birthed it. Rolling hills that never end, Lead somewhere…maybe it’s around the bend. Fields that challenge the imagination, What a beautiful, terrifying creation. Rumors whispered by the wind, Rustling leaves with a musical... Sign in to see full entry.

Mellifluous Melody

Occasionally I hear something Like a black wave crashing, Breaking on the beach, Shattering itself on the Expanse I live in. Sometimes I hear it- Like the Earth moaning Beneath me. Is it ecstasy or pain? Both I believe... I massage the Earth's back As i walk across it- Curious. Every now and then... Sign in to see full entry.
