Tested. Bested. Hardly rested. Singed and burnt, The lessons learnt. A pause... Reflecting, Inspecting, Life neglecting. Focusing on the fire, Lead me to admire, My hearts desire. But... So much focus, Tends to cripple. Consequences ripple. I played life as a game, But sadly missed the flame.

Portrait of an Addict
This poem is more like free running for my soul. The man depicted in the following piece is a scared, sad and self destructive boy. Someone who was headed for a quick exit off of the highway. This is me 15 years ago. Act One Acting tough, In a meek way. Flashing that broken smile. … Continue reading Portrait of an Addict
Down but Never Out
The Resolution So it’s been almost a month since I posted. It sucks how a couple days of not writing can turn into a week, a month and so forth. I didn’t want to let that happen, and this blog means too much to me to allow myself to give up on it. The funny … Continue reading Down but Never Out
Craven
Slithering underneath, Where no one hears. Hiding behind, A mask of tears. Skin crawling, At the sight. Smile twisted, Wound too tight. A secret hid, In plain view, Stalking prey. Nothing to you... I don’t know how to be brave, When all I do is “Misbehave”.
Emotional Tie-Dye
Colors blend in a deafening roar, an emotional roller-coaster tour. Being pulled up, down, left and right. Full-blown emotional plight. Red rings harder then blue, causing me to cry then stew. A volcano of fear and desire, the culmination of water and fire. Steamed up in an empty pot. My heart feels like a vacant … Continue reading Emotional Tie-Dye
Triumphant
Darkness swallows up the sky, Light extinguished, life will die. A blank canvas of nothingness. The totality of eternity is a mess. A burst of light breaks the scene. Life reforms in the in between. Blooming in a deadly drought. Idol hands are sowing doubt. Years of suffrage ignite, Counting down the final fight. Who … Continue reading Triumphant
Tremble – 3 Haikus
Beaten Down Power slips through my hand, Like a million grains of sand. Crumpled and alone. Imprisoned Tears streak down my face, Like an old dam in a storm. Flooded by my fear. Lifted up Love lifts up my heart, Like sunshine in a rainstorm. Steadied by new hope.
On the Wing
Transcend the ramparts, Watch out for false starts. Ready... Set... No! Dropping down from the sky, Never batting an eye. Death strikes, With false likes. Burned hopes, And dumb dopes. One failire leads to catastrophe. Life goes on — with or without me.
Bliss?
Carnal bliss. What is this? To drop high, Or fly. Go low, Fast or slow. Transcend the boundaries between the vail. Pure ecstasy... Regardless if you win or fail.
Lost Souls – 3 Haikus
The Damned Dragged under the earth. Pulled apart by past demons. My soul burns brightly. The Forsaken Lost and forgotten, Swimming in the river Lethe. Soul lost forever. The Redeemed Pulled out of deaths grip. Ascending stairway of light. Forever shining.
