An Up for Each DownSometimes I only feel sad
Sometimes I can just cry
Sometimes I lose all hope
Sometimes I am all alone
And sometimes I smile wide
Life certainly has its downs
Sometimes I drown above water
But there’s also a future
There’s friends to be made

Not ReallyI could write five million words about you
And all of them would be true
But none of it would be enough
Not really.
I could write five million poems about you
Sonnets, limericks, haikus
But none of it would be enough
Not really.
I could draw five million pictures about you
And with every single kind of color, too
But none of it would...

I used to PrayIn the quiet of the night
When the sun decides to save its light for someone worthy
When the stars twinkle in its wake
When the moon chases after her lover
I used to pray
But not with the whispered devotion of a Sister
No my prayers stirred something ugly in me
Something that festered slowly
And ripped
Something raw and heavy from...

Filling CavernsCaverns of patterns,
Awaiting your return,
A cliff at every turn,
For you to fall and burn,
Slipping into your pattern.
It repeats until you discern,
There's a reason for concern,
Earning a new lesson,
Life is in constant progression.
Filling the cavern again,
With every little win,
Catching the pattern in motion,
Slowly filling through devotion,
Allowing a new path to open.
One that you have chosen,
A choice...

The Repetition of Time
(A lone voice whispers)
Loss covers many different paradigms.
From relationships, family, and friends, but one pivotal thought sometimes gets forgotten in grief.
When someone suddenly has died.
The love you both once shared, will live forever.
Just hidden in a Repetition of Time, as you suddenly remember this 17 syllable drop of bliss.
In five, seven, five.
As those...

DisciplineDiscipline is doing what you hate like you love it
Asking for more when you are past the point of quit
The dying of an old spirit to let a new one in
Forcing progression with a bittersweet grin
Just when it seems completely futile
When all you can feel seems abysmal
That is autophagy taking over
Out will come thyself leaner...

DroneDrone
little specs down below
watch them scurry to and fro
streams of white and red
filling an ocean at my behest
with broken backs and crooked limbs
their hurried toils
are the subject of my whims
in my lands there is no rest
a slow decay, day by day
their bones will feed my nest
while in the ground they rot away
I'm master...

Purple At BestI can only hope to find something so deeply hidden inside myself
that it is beautiful enough and terrible enough
to strike your interest,
scribbling it out in a fiery passion
for you to shriek back at your own life’s claws
But I fear I cannot do that today
For that would be red, you see
And I feel something purple at...

The same kind of
The same kind of nights we see the same times a year.
People play people, break their hearts then blame the moon and stars, not the beer and the bars, for all the tears.
Down the road, round the back. Wake up without recount for who or what was just unluckily near.
Bruises take a while...
