A Bit o' Poetry

Care
One drop
of tears
carries the baggage
of a hundred years
One drop of love, feeling
and emotion
One drop of truth, pain
and faith
carries a million
unspoken words
One drop
of care
carries what the others
could not bear
It is the only drop
that does not shed painfully
It is the only drop
that can be given freely
and carries nothing more than intended
With just one drop of care
dreams and thoughts pretended
Have the strength to become
truth and honesty
To be shared and rendered.

Destroyed
Destroyed from the inside out
Broken from the top down
Crushed from the beginning
Wrecked til the end
It's called a heart break
and it beats to a different rhythm
It bounces all over the place
as it begs for some control
It crashes and bangs into every wall
Pounding and breaking more as it jumps
Crushing every emotion, every bit of sanity
The heart break destroys what you were
It creates a new person from the inside
As it drags tears from you, the erratic beat
twists and turns like a seraded edge against your breath
The heart break continues to tear apart what you once were
As your walls come down a determined thought rushes into you
With each and every blow from the broken heart,
Your insides begin to rebuild and divide
Dividing the hurt from the lessons
Encouragement to move on,
The heart break languidly diminishes
The destroyed you becomes a "was"
And your life and love become new
You think for a moment and understand
That to create who you will be, it takes pain
and heart break, and destruction.
You understand now that to be who you will be
you had to be who you weren't.
And only that fact could teach you the lessons
needed to grow and mature
To become who you need to be.

Good vs. Evil
As the sky grows dark
My world goes numb
The heaven within
Strives for sun
Clouds fall to the earth
Crashing limb to limb
Fallen angels
Sing their last hymn

Bright as dawn
Soft as pain
The world tumbles
As the underworld reigns

The shadows grow stark
Spirits succumb
Free the world of sin
Hatred won
Angels pass to dearth
Land awaits the grim
Hope entangles
The sun falls dim

Dark has gone
Angels sustain
Hades crumbles
As the heavens remain

Shit Luck
"It" ran out
"It" lost its touch
"It" flew away
"It" passed on
"It" was never here

Call "It" faith
Call "It" coincidence
Call "It" what you will

There is only one "It"
and it happens to be mine
The "It" that left me
The "It" that died
The "It" that causes my suffering
Without "It" I've got nothing
Even when I had "It"
"It" was just shit luck

Spoken Mind
Not a single drop of imagination
Nothing more than blank slates
My mind is simple, not free
Stress and anger, bottled
Stimulation nowhere to be found
The heart within me,
begging for approval.

"Release the innermost desires
Spread the dreams and love
Let each word
caress the mind of others
Delve into each imagination,
expanding the truth
they once knew
Defy their beliefs with simple words
and bring forth a new inspiration."

Done not so easy, I'll admit
But as each word flows through me
I can’t deny the truth
To break free of the chains
that my imagination sits captive to
I must first learn
What it is I do not know
Only then, will I remember how to write
Better yet, to Inspire.

Two of a Kind
You are like me
and I am like you
We come together
on simple yet rational
terms of truth
We see eye to eye
and match a lifestyle
unlike any other
Those around us
misunderstand
our habits and choices
But you and I
are two of a kind
We pass through life
just to get by
Struggle and try
we simply relax
For you and I
have a tendency
to remain free
Because as they say
The apple does not fall
far from the tree.

Wound
Time is not faithful
Simply put
A figment of your imagination
A relic of your past
Moments may die
Memories may last
Time is that of a moment
In which memories are made
From start to finish
Moments that fade
Dried tears for lost time
Moments dropped into clocks
Second hands turning
Bringing minds to a stop
Wiping your eyes
A moment may pass
But you've created a memory
That lasts.
