I’ve dreamed of this place before. If a landscape could be a spirit animal, this one would be mine. I’ve dreamed of a place that knows sorrow and mystery, somewhere that understands quite caos. I’ve dreamed of being engulfed in the fog and drowned out by the water as it crashes down upon the rocks. No one will hear me scream. I will be to quite, and to far away. I’ve pictured building a house for ...

Finally I can breathe. At last I’m not engulfed in the nosies that surround me constantly in the city. At last I’m not taking in all the exhaust from the silver boxy vehicles that all look the same. At last I see real light, not the artificial type that is ever present in my home and at work. At last time can slow down, I can rest. I have nowhere to go, no time to keep, and no one who will be look...

Is it real, What I feel, Or just my imagination?

I’m living proof, of hidden truth,

if it’s any consolation

I don’t despise, I just revise my poems desperations

And in me lies, beneath my disguise, my honest proclamations

I believe, if you dig down deep

You will hear your hearts as it cries

I believe, if it’s truth you seek, you’ll find it in the skies

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

The imagi...

“Stop! You can’t go to that side of the house, you know that.”

“We’ve stayed on the right wing of this small building our whole lives, I think it would be alright if we finally have a look at what mom and dad have been hiding all these years.”

“You know they aren’t bad parents, they aren’t strict. They let us do what we want, when we want, and they they love us, they do. They’ve only ever given ...

In my mind, I see this image

When I stare out the window pane

A blurry scene of you and me, dancing in the rain

The clouds are gray

The sky is gray

And so are you and I

But when you share with me, your umbrella

Color sparkles up my eye

The streets are empty

The gutters dark

And all the stores are closed

But when you sweep me off my feet, I feel much less cold

I see in my min...

I am the treasure

I am the flower

I am the delicate rose

The beauty amidst the nothingness

Covered and disclosed

The rose itself as many thorns

Thorns to keep her safe

To protect her from the savage desert

Haunted, she hides her face

Who knows, who knows, who knows?

That the treasure is a rose

The rose, she hoped and prayed one day her value would be exposed

She will never fo...

You said “you look beautiful tonight”

When you said I looked beautiful were you lying?

It was the door you held, as we walked

And it was my gaze you held, as we talked

You had me in your arms that night, while I cried

I opened up my heart that night, while you lied

He said I looked beautiful, that night

He said I looked beautiful, two times

Who knew love was cursed, September frights...

Yellow skies and bright pink lights

Gussied up girls, and boys with lies

Green thumbs, green grass, and sad green eyes

The laughter was real, but not the good times

Friends, enemies, and families who try

To smile when the scoreboard makes them cry

Good times, bad times, stolen nights

Good kids, bad kids, violent crimes

The boys throw fits, but the girls still cheer

How the hell did we en...

Down on the lake

Me in your black jacket

You said I could have it

Forever

I would’ve stayed

But it was getting cold

And I didn’t like the hold you had on my waist

In the classroom, I see you every day

I look at you, you look at me, and I look away

I lost my appetite for a couple days thinking of you

And how my whole world shakes because of you

The saddest memories are made when...

The red, the white, and the blue in the sky

Were blurred to maroon in my tears stained eyes

The booming explosions on that dark night

Were nothing compared to the dark in my life

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, July, I tried...
