Take them in your hand, Your brushes, your canvas, your easel, and palettes Paint your picture with oils, with knives and malice Create a visage so vicious as to tilt the balance- What the common man believes comes of what he sees. Create the narrative, an image, shape what they perceive And brushstroke after brushstroke [...]
The Great I
I'm trying to be a bit more conscious of meter in some of my more recent work. Its just something I'm looking to try my hand at.
Real Life
I feel like I've been getting by. And by and by, I feel like I'll be feeling like an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth. I feel like I'll be trading blood, sweat, and tears for only a half truth. I feel like the dream may have been a bit deferred, [...]
Icarus Loading
The difference between flying and falling is style- Bodies of people who didn’t quite cut it litter the pavement. I wonder if they knew all they needed was a smart coat or chic haircut to survive?

Poem 1
Hearts don't beat, they sing. They sing love songs when they think they've found their match, and they compose rustic blues pieces when that match sings a different song.

Ecosystem
As I sit still, This aura that I feel, Let’s me know that it’s real, In my ecosystem. It’s where I rest my head, My family gets fed, Lay me when I’m dead, In my ecosystem. As I live and breathe, Never will I leave, all that I need, In my ecosystem.
