Life

Whiskey and woman


LIFE

The beat slows down

Catching its breath

with touch, Your touch

begins to rise

 

Consistently inconsistent

JOY to pain

PAIN to joy

we feel everything, we feel nothing

 

Yet we pass through

keep going

born to our story 

begin with no choice

middle decided by beginning...

Ignored

It is about me I will admit. I was inspired because one night I had tried to read my dad a poem I had wrote in class and he was to busy so I...

Red was the color of lipstick I wore that night to impress you. It was the color that filled my hands as I held them tightly together, waiting for you. It was the color...

HOW MUCH I CARE

The caring and upholding you need when you're love is standing at an odd.
Eyes of wonder, In Waves of Fire For Nature owes a part of your Hair A Distance Collides, and My Breathe Expire And Do You know How Much I Care The look you Shoot, is Sharper than Blade For...

To the person I hate


To the person I hate: You have always held me back, you do not care who you hurt and you do not know why it is that you’d want you hurt them. You are ugly and nasty you...

Stay at home

I was inspired by the current situation and wrote this poem from the perspective of those who are actually having a hard time in this quarantine.
Stay at home. They tell us to stay at home? But what is home? Is it being trapped with an abuser? Is it undergoing traumatic days and suffering while gathering memories that i don't want to keep? Is it...
