Cruel is the man who sees everything
and does nothing to stop it.
Vain is the woman who cares only for looks
and not for the feelings of others.
Callous is the child who only wants
and never cares of the words of his mother.
Ignorant is the man who will not listen
yet can only hear himself.
Heartless is the woman
who does nothing for others.

The string tightly wrapped
around my hand.
Laced through my fingers,
I held it firmly.
The string was tied to a
simple blue balloon.
I gently bounced the balloon
back and forth.
I enjoyed its company.
Its color, a lush hue of
Tranquil blue.
The balloon twisted,
almost dancing above me.
Its radiant energy rushed
down the string down to my hand.
Though just a balloon,
It possessed an almost
life-like quality of happiness.
But then the winds came.
The harsh and vengeful
winds grabbed at my balloon.
Weaving its venomous hands
around and about.
I pulled back to save my balloon
from its misery,
The first time we met gaze.
Don't worry I'll forget.
Our first kiss,
It's okay, I'll forget don't worry.
The first time we made love, and every time after that.
I'll just forget them, like they never happened.
The day I asked you out,
Yeah I'll just forget about it.
June 27th,
I'll just act like it is another day, no worries there.
The first time we held hands,
I'll erase it from my memory.
The first time I told you that I loved you,
That will be a tough one, I'll throw it away.
The first time I didn't know what to say...
I'm not really sure if the pain of that will ever go away.
Reality Check
Sometimes I just want
To crash my face into the
Concrete. To make sure..
To see if it's just a dream.
It hurts. To know that
My scarlet constellations
Will just always go
Unseen, and unheard.
The screams are so sweet,
And the stars shall never streak.
Will no one stop me?
For I'll devour the night sky.
These are now my eyes: strictly black and white
An iris shade of empty, the pupil dark as night
The color is an absent, the black is none but pain
Only I can cry this black and white rain
This is now my mouth: strictly black and white
White is known to lie, the black known to be right
Molars bleached like snow, lips as dense as tar
Speaking through your teeth here won't get you very far
These are now my ears: strictly black and white
While white can take the cold, black won't hear one fight
Hair always done up, white doesn't seem to mind
But black wants hair down to make it hard to find
This is now my nose: strictly black and whit
I look up at the stars tonight
and hey look honey! They shine for you
Like the little star you are, they shine for you
With a light so pure
a light which brings hope...
When I first met you
something felt different
something I haven't felt before
But I could never have guessed
that you would mean so much to me
that I would care this much
that you would be the one I miss the most
the only person I want near when the nights gets cold
and the demons of loneliness comes closer and closer...
When I first met you
I saw those deep blue eyes
with a painful story to tell
I saw a happy smile
to light up the world
I saw such a
Good morning.
Let's take a look at the list of things to do:
First, we're going to rob a convenience store.
Everything is going to go horribly wrong,
As our surveillance man didn't notice
The cop in the back,
Buying doughnuts of all things.
We'll run away, because we have no guns,
The cop will probably break out laughing.
I have a shipment of illegal fireworks,
And I plan on selling them to a 12 year old.
He told me he wants to strap them to his skates
And see if he can fly.
Oh, before I forget, the boy will brag to his girl,
The girl will tell her father, who'll tell the boy's mother,
And she will call the cops.
So bring your
You ask me who I am , where did I come from
I say: I am a poet, I was born out of the blazing silk of my words
My heart is an eternal rebel, since the dawn of creation
I'm the master of my own words, the keeper of God's secret
I'm the story of that rose shivering on the freezing hill
I live in that oasis of light, in a world beyond your world
The stars stare at my hopes, and hell trembles between my fingers
The night dreads my pain, the morning sleeps on my pillow
I create my words from the tissue of my veins
I weave the images from the feather of my eyelids
I wash my sins away, when I repent between the lines

Failure to Translate
Words fail me.
They do this with an alarming frequency.
I call myself a writer, but whenever I set pen to paper to create my thought process, the page remains as blank as my mind.
I call myself an inkweaver, but the only ink I see is what drips from the nib of my pen- small abysses in the otherwise spotless wasteland of my page.
Everything is so clear in my mind, the dusty corners well disguised beneath the ebb and flow of this event they call creativity (which is, in fact, only the strange ramblings of a dehydrated mind).
If I could simply download you directly into my brain, this strange betrayal of my fingers would be an unnecessary h
I'll wipe the tears of your cheeks
I'll hold you tight
Just so you can feel safe
I wont tell you lies
and I promise to be there when you need me the most
I will take care of you and help you to heal these wounds
but dear, you must give me the chance
I'm asking you to trust me
Take me by the hand
and jump!
I will catch you honey
I wouldn't let you hit the ground
