over

sad
tears
away
now

I
can't

tonight
all
the

the
all
me
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.

Poem-A-Day: Day 521
Sweet Surrender
really nothing
we are invisible
imagine how sweet searching
will ask for surrender
religion and choruses
desolate and angry
no poets
see the free world closing
poor men crawl
imagine how sweet surrender
will stay forever
won't ever ask for passion
to remember and imagine
sweet as a dying rose
no religion and politics for surrender
and I don't care to remember

Poem-A-Day: Day 519
All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love
Release my desire
Then forgive the decision
To want out of love.

Poem-A-Day: Day 518
Don’t Say You Love Me
Don't say strange things
Love things that make me die
I won't steal a radio
I won't be an angel
Don't say things that make me die
Dance 'till you'll cry
I told lies around my angel
I won't be round
Don't say you love me
Don't say you'll cry
I screw my angel
You're still my song on the radio
But don't say things
Make me dance 'till we're high
Don't say you'll cry
Don't say you love me

Poem-A-Day: Day 517
Because Our Love Is Real
I get upset and dangerous
You call me sublime
I hurt and know life is bitter and jealous
You wrap sublime where I dominate faith
Trust is all creation
I don't feel emotional
You heal to be alive
I hurt the most and know myself
You really know me more

Poem-A-Day: Day 516
I’ll Be There
When arms know that lost
found that need to keep hanging on,
it's enough to hold the light up
and stare as if the child won't go away.
To stay this young, selfish darling
I wanted the shock, the sudden sway
we all make all over the end,
the light that we don't know.
It's just in me to stay the light,
the sky, and I stare and I don't go away.
I beg you to share the sky,
I don't know why, it's just the child in me.

Poem-A-Day: Day 515
Breathe
Twenty-seven times the city lights
changed fast on empty,
and I feel you're gonna breathe.
I breathe bitter,
and the test of time
treated you rough, always kind.
I let lonely feel the deal,
letting me breathe,
and I breathe hollow.
You breathe empty
without love,
and I breathe without you.
And you breathe.
I believe empty love.
You breathe without love.

Poem-A-Day: Day 514
Let’s Take One More Rocket To The Moon
one more moon
before we kiss
and lie between sleep
and find a star dawning
gently the rhythm
water windows white
as pillow drowning
catch a keychain just for luck
I hold to hide
and what is all
just prayer without knowing
my mind straight is breath
and all around us
the air and little life
without knowing
my mind I'm slowly drowning

Poem-A-Day: Day 513
Here I Go Impossible Again
many dreams
it seems that reaching all alone
on dreams are emotion
to know
what's in mind
searching for impossible again
close to the ending
on a pedestal
like when it hurts some
and lose soul
through veins falling
three little impossible again
the night dive into ocean
how to know what's searching
that's impossible
to keep the night
ending impossible again
to keep the night from ending

Poem-A-Day: Day 512
No Doubt
Where it is wont hurt
next to your heart.
I feel my spine
dying to show the falling room
for doubt,
for all the art
to give,
to visualize more than
to gaze.
I'm dying to tease it out;
secrets sad for all the changes.
