Zephyrus killed you.

In jealousy, and for what?

What good comes of this?

He knew I loved you.

Now I can’t stop seeing him,

Blowing the discus.

Can’t stop seeing you,

Bright blood blooming from your neck,

Falling down, lifeless.

Can’t help but see you,

The light fading from your eyes,

As blood pooled around.

I see the flower,

The one I made in your name,

Rise up from the ground. ...

Soothsayer whispers

“Today will bring great danger.”

Your pride makes you deaf

Your friends surround you

Daggers drawn and faces grave

The blood leaves your face

At first, you struggle

But he causes you to yield

“Even you, Brutus?”

Farewell, great Caesar

You came, you saw, you conquered

Even still, you lost...

Darkness envelopes

the land, an omen from gods

above, our war lost....

Rampant war against

All those we call enemies,

Blood bleeding blood red.

Swords clashing against

Each other over again

Injuries galore.

Ancient wars between

Countries that have rivalries…

Civilization....

beautiful flowers

left out to rot in the sun

our love dies with them...

I see Him beside

What was once a grave of stone

Broken from His shroud

And He was walking

Above the waves around us

Reaching out a hand

The land we were in

Promised so long ago then

He has come down here

Rome oppresses us

And we have cried out to Him

There He stands again

A woman reaches

Briefly grazing His tunic

And she is healed

One day they will bow

But for now we are hated

Just as He has ...

They knocked on the walls

With their sheepskin drums held low

And rained fire on Rome...

I want to do things

World shifting, table turning

Like the ones before

The Aztecs knowledge

Starry skies, solar systems

Breath-taking ruins

Sacrificial grin

Metaphorical dying

Remember back then

Do you remember?

You were just a little kid

And you didn’t know

That this would all soon

Be gone like how the tide falls

Yet, this won’t return

One thing stays the same

Every moment on earth

Will be l...

Jitters before a hike

Imagine if you had only one arm, and you were tasked to carry 16 sets of 4 heavy textbooks and go on a fifteen minute walk from your house to the library. Imagine the nervousness you would feel before performing the task? That is exactly what I felt when my family was going on a trip to Peru to hike up Machu Picchu. During the several months before our trip to Peru, my dad ke...

Days become longer,

But I stay the same each day,

Let me awaken....
