Persevere

I care not for opinions, the things I say are true My conscience guides and truth resides in action, not with you If you must talk then walk the walk, because otherwise You’re all the same, the fact remains, you’re jealous and unwise Weakness fosters hate for those who climb above the rest They try … More Persevere

Necessary

NECESSARY I think I’ll write a poem that speaks epic truth, tonight It doesn’t matter if you tend to lean left or lean right Politics aren’t helping us, the gap is greater in-between We need to stop fixating on whose King or who is Queen We need to shift the focus to what matters, that’s … More Necessary

Lines

Rest is what my mind desires I see the redness, and the fires I care not what they think of me My thoughts confine what should be free A puzzle piece that doesn’t fit No matter what I do to it It’s odd how heat can cause such chill It’s never matched, and never will … More Lines

One Day

Listen, can you hear it? Such beauty, violin It’s strings are humming softly To remind us where we’ve been Such time it took to get here So far, the journey seemed So quick were we to make it We’ve forgotten why we dreamed Our life was so much simpler Our souls, they all were freed … More One Day

Nurture

Such sorrow do I feel For those who never knew My heart aches for the lost, unloved And pain that they’ve been through I’ve tasted life when sour I’ve sampled it when sweet True happiness, I tell you Is who we love and meet Let not the things around you Cloud judgment, nor your sight … More Nurture

Tell me what you’re feeling cause my heart just started healing and I’ve poured my very soul into the words on this page I need to understand you because I don’t want to go through all the things that locked my heart into a cold, dark cage I’ve tried so many times and I have … More Ours

Smoke and Mirrors

Animals. Miscreants. Products of society. Monsters making mice of men and dodging notoriety When will people realize that this world’s not what we think it is? If you’re naive and say it is just do a quick analysis Peace. Love. A child’s future without war. All these things they advertise are not what they are … More Smoke and Mirrors

Navigating

Days of old I envy, much realer all these feelings were Now it seems it’s so fast-paced that every day and night’s a blur Heartfelt talks under the stars are now boxed into tiny screens And half the time when she’s not here I can’t tell what the message means   Context comes when eyes … More Navigating

The One: First Entry

Can we be honest with ourselves for a moment? I want to talk about some things. Things like Facebook. Twitter. Instagram, perhaps. Hell, even Tinder…anything that lets people advertise who they are (or at least who they want to be) without having to concern themselves with the real world. Yeah, I know. It’s not easy … More The One: First Entry

Hard to Get

A damsel in distress she’s not, though nights are all besot with her Affection widely chased more than even gold, frankincense and myrrh Aged better than Venetian wine, smoother than a fine liqueur Treat her as the Queen she is: this maiden we call Literature   Sought by many, caught by few, to court her … More Hard to Get
