Phantoms

Good is good Bad is bad Until good’s no good and bad’s the best you ever had So much preciousness But who can see When our eyes only touch the surface and who we are is buried underneath Was there ever a chance to say Or do the phantoms hold sway When it takes more…Read more Phantoms

Too Much

Who cares what they think?Who cares what they say?Who cares who they are?Who cares what they believe?Why waste... ...Too much. ...Much too much. And yet...Never enough. Expressions fail.Affections flail.One touch, andAll is come undone.

Verdict

I'm sure you'd agree that I've lost touch with nearly everything,That I'm all fresh and green; that I forgot what life means. But you don't know me;You haven't seen what I've seen, and from my point of being.Nothing that you think means a thing, nor what you would scream to say.To you, your own; to…Read more Verdict

Modern Man

Clutching for my reason --to burn on through the sense of purpose that comes and goes with the season.Frame me with treason, for when it comes to being modern man, I'd rather be a heathen. And I believe in peace. Live, and let's leave them to their own defeat --their own disease. Rushing for a…Read more Modern Man

All That There Is

Write like you don’t care for the words So long as the meaning is conveyed Sing like you don’t care for the sound For the music is in your veins Dance like you don’t care who sees So long as the feeling is expressed Dream like you’ve never been afraid To be your very best…Read more All That There Is

The Gun, the Sword, and the Pen

Staring down the barrel of a gun, I see once again, what it takes to stand firm and what it means to run. To think that we're still so meek that now bullets are all that power can afford; as if just to miss the point that was etched in those old stones: the pen…Read more The Gun, the Sword, and the Pen

Along A Melody

Wait. Don't go. Should you say. Did you know?

Beyond our Fists

...So, there's no choice but to grow I'll try my best to not let the pain show Though, it bleeds right through the lines You wanted me to know That you won't ever let me go But my spirit has been caught in a tryst Tell me what you see in my eyes Is it…Read more Beyond our Fists
