Pens and Applications
I don't feel creative enough to write a poem right now so I'll just rant I guess. School starts in two weeks, two days, sixteen hours, and one minute and I've yet to figure out what I will become in life. I wish it was as simple as "hey I'm going to be a writer and shit" but let's face it: I need a steady job. I don't want to make that choice, I just want to be happy and not have to worry about rent or anything. The idea of being an English teacher revolts me because it looks as though I have failed in pursuing my dream so now I have to teach other minds to not fail even though some of them...

Read Me...can you
an ink blot on white paper
slowly spreading
as pen scratches words
on blank whiteness
there is a beginning
just within reach
of dying memories
Kept in dark corners
can you read me now
as ink dry inwards
losing textures of thoughts
in the swirling fog...

Angel of Madness
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."--Edgar Allan Poe
nightly the news plays
midwife to the dying
deathbed doulas
feigning compassion
thank God psychopharmacology
dabbles in miracles
that Trazodone turns tumbling
boulders into sleeping stones
my most-days mind is a loupe
magnifying cracks into crises
bringing far off fires close up
"catastrophizing"
but somedays my mind is far away ...

Platinum Tears: Joy and Pain Quatrain
Platinum waterfalls ran down my face
Blue emotions ran deep in my brain
Platinum tears turned into black ink on a page
Writing healed my platinum soul: graduate on a platinum stage.

Because I am a poet
While you segment that thin unleavened cake of oat-meal brother;
Because I am a poet...
I will brew a triolet with mnemonic rhymes
And pour it heavily down the crack before the beginning ends.
While you rest motionlessly...
Like a trampled weed in the middle of the jungle,
Because I am a poet...
I will sing lullabies to my lilting brain
I have grained poems for the next mid-lent sunday,
As you put in your oar for well rich,
Hopefully you'll find your which
Because I am a poet...
I have been to a future where poets are...

Reckless Ink
Reckless Ink
My mind in blank
Armed with Ink
Just in case if something occurs.
First of all,
To hell with Shakespeare
Cervantes modernize yourself man
And for crying out loud
Get to the damn point Homer
None of you influenced me,
I have my own experience
My own expression
So shush haters!
No one can tell me how,
Don't even mention when or why
I just scribble
If you don't like
Piss off then.

My best friends
So much on my mind but no words on my tongue
Hard to scribble onto this page because my hands have gone numb
Like my body and brain, what more can I say?
Like everyone else, conformist in my own way
A beautiful face is not worth my time
Lest he deciphers the code behinds these rhymes
Graphite seems to breathe feeling, whispers you cant hear
White paper drinks up the salty, wet tears
The life that I made lies just under this page
And with the insight one could read on for days
Pencil meets parchment and...

Just for fun
Being a poet isn't easy to do
You have to know about sonnets
Maybe even the color blue
I remember the days when it was all a rhyme like
Roses are red violets are blue
Rhyming is sweet and so are you
Those days are gone
Poems are now like songs
There beautiful and deep
You must comprehend
Or you'll get lost in the poem
Trying to understand
Lol just bored
You have to know about sonnets

Rhyming is sweet and so are you

Or you'll get lost in the poem
