Poetry

po·et·ry /ˈpōətrē/ noun
literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.

Writing poetry and music has allowed me to become an alchemist and turn my story into forms of art. 

it melts on your tongue. an arrow straight through the sternum cracking the bone in half, opening the ribs releasing thousands of butterflies, angels and demons that were being held in a cage. the rib cage wide open, sore and gushing blood as the heart still beats searching for its echo. its other half. it's whole. whole heartedly waiting for a beat in return. 

ENAMORADOSIS SYMPTOMS|

Maybe it's better that we're apart.

Maybe it should have been that way from a start.

But i hope its not just me.

Who wishes we were a family.

These canyons underneath my eyes

are from all the times that I've cried

I know how much it really hurt

to be the people that we were

and maybe we still are

Kids with invisible scars.

we're the children with the broken smiles

we're the children who run away and hide

we're the children who are always scared 

Because there was no one by our side. 


 

FAMILY

her scripture

"....the solstice began, her soul bathed under the falls of gold, pure sunshine dripping down her spine. her lips soft and warm, welcoming the first summer day....."

life

living life in opulence

wasting all our time

forgetting words

forgetting songs

forgetting how to rhyme 

wishing you were someone else

wishing you had it all

climbing to the top of it

and you start to fall 

then someone says

all along you had it all

all along enough

forget the money and

the strife and

venture into the possibilities of life
