Poet Introduction
I write about all sorts of things,I cant be confined to a category.
Ghost Town
Blow this popsicle stand and watch all the sticks clatter.
This is only the beginning and that's all the really matters.
I'm leaving on a train tonight,I'm leaving on a train..
I wish I could leave faster but I cant afford a plane.
I'm leaving this ghost town,nothing good remains.
I wanna pack you all up with me and never return again.
This town is going no where and the dust is endless dear.
The tumbleweeds forever blowing, we'll never find an end to this here.
Sunset in my hair and beating down on my eyes,
I'm finally getting out of here it may...

Haiku #1
The sparkling waters edge..
A lonely shore I walk along..
This tide will take me.

Where I am?"
"Where have I gone?"
"Who am I?"
"Where the fuck have I gone?"she screams and screams til her throat is hoarse.
Nothing feels right,nothing fits.
She's unhappy in her own skin.
Lose fucking weight.
She wants to paint again.
Dancing in the night,
she sneaks away from him hands in the pockets of her jacket and a cheshire grin.
Stalking the dawn,this is where her future begins.
All alone in the ripped jeans everyone hated so much in highschool she feels better than she ever has.
"This is not who I am,this is not where I...

"20 Questions"
The wind was picking up and blowing her hair into her face,she giggled because he said something funny,like always. She was one of the few people that understood his humor sometimes. She glanced up at him,his face was glowing with a smile and the sun was framed behind his head making him look like an angel whom had mistakingly fallen right there next to heron the beach and found it quite funny. She squinted to see through the sunlight hao around his face as he continued to look at the waves rolling out in front of them. Splashed with orange,blue and gold the sea looked like a painting of what...

Today was five years,five years since you went away.
I cant think of anything to honor you or anything to say.
Mommy still loves you and I hope you are okay.
Daddy is very happy but I hope he's thinking of you today.
We never wanted to lose you,but we were young and had no choice.
Im sorry I couldnt ask you,but you were an embryo with no voice.
I really miss you baby though I never saw your face.
Im sure you were beautiful,my sweet angel full of grace.
We didnt want to hurt you,or send you away,
but believe me when I say my heart has...

(No name.2)
I gazed outside,the air still moist with rainfall from the last few hours,the afternoon light refracting through the gaps in between the tree branches splintering one or perhaps one million fold and casting an orange glow to everything it touched even the atmosphere it seemed.
The foliage,leaves and grass were save from this and they alone were the deepest of emerald,so much so that it appeared one had to be looking through an old movie lens in which only these colors were truly shown.
I wholeheartedly always loved this occurrence which made the world look like a distorted dream...

Over
How did I let you go and tell me how do I let you know,
that I still need you and I still see you in my dreams.
In my dreams it seems that you would never see,
the things in me you say made you want to leave.
If I could be the one you fell in love the night that we first met,then maybe I could hold you one last time before our fate is set.
I just need you to know that I dont want to let you go,
that I will be here until you let me know that theres no hope.
There's no way for me to say that I can still be the one you fell for,and if you walk back...
that I still need you and I still see you in my dreams.

Deaths inspiration
Lay me on a bed of lilies,
flowers of white,
fit for a corpse,
fold my hands atop my breast
of course.
I'm married to death
this unnatural force
A hooded figure in black
Who shows no remorse
Skin turning blue
Loves one true hue
I accept death's sweet kiss
and become his pale muse.

*No name*
Turned the shower on too hot again not enough to burn but just enough sting to remind me of you.
It's true I'm flying high and drowning tonight
And it's grape this time
but I got the MDMA this time.
But baby only the promethazine holds me like you do,
makes me feel low and dumb like you know you do.
And whenever I roll without you.
I see your smile,your lips
& I remember to feel high and cum.
Put the radio on too loud again,not enough to to make my eardrums bleed again,just enough shake in the windows to remind...

Promethazine
Took too much cough syrup again
All these fish aint got no fins
Swimming in a sea of orange
These words taste foreign
Shots and tears are pourin
Mixin grief and sweat
Lets make this a moment to regret.

Never quitting
If I have to live my life I'd rather be the cause of my own demise.
Cause were filled with lies there in us all,everyday is hit & miss just grab the ball.
Except me I tell it like it is,shake a soda to see it fizz.
To live is to choose not to die,but to live doesn't mean you were ever alive.
Left or right the choice is yours it doesn't matter just use that voice.
Cause the sun it burns and if we never learn to step out into the light where people often and willingly sell lies for cheap we could keep the smiles with no need to weep.
So let's all say fuck...
