Making Amends

There are some things that I honestly regret,
And with all my heart, I wish I could just forget,
Testing my limits and even pushing them just a little past,
I saw the light as my very own life almost didn't last,
For there are many times that I...

Steps Towards Bright

I climbed fast, while there was only sound of my boots in complete silence,
on the steps towards a complete bright light.
Thinking that this is what death actually is.
This is the place of which the experience can't be determined by alive people

Your Personal Gentleman

I'll give you my jacket if you are cold,
When you're alone, me is who you can hold,
Just need a good laugh, I can be that fella, raining, I'll be the one to hold your umbrella,
And if you slip, I'll pick you up off the floor,
Making sure it's...

Just A Number

You had no clue,
That I really knew,
You gave us a shot,
Even when you loved me not,
Just to get your way,
You faked it every day,
From morning to night,
You refused to honestly fight,
Because other men you made shine,
And I was just...

Separated by time

I don't see you anymore
Not like i used too
Causing chaos on our street
Dancing to the same beat
No star crossed lovers
Nothing beneath those covers
Just two dreamers

Memories of crisp sunsets
Endless summer nights with laughter
That...

Peasant wants a Queen

I didn't swim across the shark infested ocean to come back empty-handed,
Holding my hand Is what I demanded.

I didn't cross the desert’s sand for nothing,
If I touched your sweet hand, that would be for something.

I didn't overcome earth's...

Rotting

They don't notice me dying
But smelled me rot.
They were never trying,
They always forgot.

Isolated in the chamber of one's heart
The heart which is falling slowly apart
Lies the Soul of mine
Which slowly starts to decline

The...

Disregarded

I'm being drowned by tears of sadness,
As I suffer your heart fills with gladness,
And as it gets closer to being the end,
You stand there without a hand to lend,
With no regret, care or any other feeling,
Just abandoning me when I'm healing,
...

Muffled Cries

MUFFLED CRIES

Mom, why were you crying? Those days I know you were sobbing
Wish you can feel what I feel, when your heart goes on throbbing
We are attached through the placenta, all the signals I get
I know your favorite music, when you smoked...

Can I unlove you?

Is it you that I love
Or is it the you that I imagine?
Holding to a moment's infatuation
Will it stand the harsh test of time?
The grueling awkward moments to pass
Show me it's real_ or are you?
The result of split second impulse?

Thinking...

The power of kindness

The Power of Kindness

In a world that often rushes by,
Where harsh words and cold hearts lie,
There shines a light, so pure, so bright,
The gentle touch of kindness' might.

A simple smile, a helping hand,
A listening ear to...

Like Fire

Words are dangerous, you can have a fit of— well anything.

Write what you feel, what you felt,
and watch how the recipient tosses and turns
at night.

Watch how your words burn, watch how they catch flight. A message into the wind, turns...
