The most memorable trip I took as a kid was to Chicago with my mom and sister. My mom was there for work, and my sister and I were permitted to tag along. We got to miss a week of school, with a week's worth of homework packed in our bags. My sister and I… Continue reading Chicago River Dreams
Inspiration
From nowhere it rises, The embers nearing the skin, Internal flames glow, Chest constricts, Beats hasten, Expansion and growth, Fears turn into ash, Demanding to be released, Words pour out, Until the fire is quenched, It is quite a relief, Unsure of when it’ll visit again. What will be the trigger? I wait and I… Continue reading Inspiration
Nighttime Memories
A temperature that's possessed, Hope wrapped in a breeze, After the sun rests, Awoke memories. Flickering of moments perfect in time. The future stretched as far as the sky, Adventures awaited as the waves collected, Sparkling jewels from the refracted moonshine. The heart always heeds to its call, Regardless of the age or place, When magic mainstreams the… Continue reading Nighttime Memories
Wild and Wily Wind
No telling where it all began, Or to where it may go and end, Consisting of gas, Lacking of mass, Cannot be seen, Power source that's clean, Disturbing the seas, Talking through trees, Comfort on hot nights, Necessary for flights, Spreading seeds, helping things grow, Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, Capable of large scale destruction, When… Continue reading Wild and Wily Wind
Appreciation Before Depreciation
Heart that beats without distress, Comfortable nights rest, Bending with ease, Walks with pain free knees, Driving with no restrictions, Healthy with no addictions, Bed that is safe and warm, Umbrella during a thunderstorm, Thoughts and no headaches, Clear skin without outbreaks, Food to eat, Shoes on feet, Free without a case, An affectionate embrace,… Continue reading Appreciation Before Depreciation
Harvest
Show me the fruit of your harvest, Is it sweet or rotten? Does it provide only enough fruit for yourself? Or does it feed many? Does the fruit you harvest come from a sheltered house plant? Or is it from a strong fruit tree that has sustained through all the elements? Show me your harvest… Continue reading Harvest
Scary Story
Just got home, it’s late, and story time, No this isn’t your run of the mill nursery rhyme, It’s the kind that will keep you up at night, Not rated R but contains strong self hate that may incite fright, The after 10 delight, The they judge you, can’t share with you, don’t want to… Continue reading Scary Story
Fuck Me With Your Mind
Make me wet with your intellect and all of your passion, When you share your thoughts on psychology, science and politics, don’t ration, Captivate me with the significance of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Expound upon Watergate and the Vietnam War, Orate about Quantum Theory and how time does not exist,… Continue reading Fuck Me With Your Mind
Still Dreaming
I tried to drink away the feeling, But there I was still dreaming, Moved but not yet moving on, Maybe if I write this it'll pass and be forever gone. Standing in the driveway staring up at the sky, Wondering if I'd know you if you passed me by, Digging deep and sweating, Sun beats… Continue reading Still Dreaming
Thinking Addiction
My greatest addiction, The cause of all my afflictions, Including my drinking, My stinking thinking. The voice that talks that is not me, The one who lies constantly, Driving down my self-esteem, Saying things that are just plain mean. If I don’t keep a conscious eye, And be the watcher as the thoughts pass by,… Continue reading Thinking Addiction
