There is a reason that some words hit differently. Those words get spilled directly out of a mind, of a heart, a soul. They are real.

The Wronged Man (poem)
You play with love like it’s fire,as if it doesn’t burn you from the inside out.But it does burn.And you cry in the ashesas if you didn’t light every match.You take, break, misshape hearts like clay,then beg us all to stay,while we stay warmand you turn cold,searching for something new to hold.Not someone.Some thing.Until boredom … Continue reading The Wronged Man (poem)

Sweet (poem)
My gardens a messBut life is sweetThe roses full bloom in the summer heat The daisies are soft under our bare feetAs we walk through the grassTo our own beat And its loveAnd we're free Under shade of the treesAnd when the rain fallsWe just dance in the streetForever is not enough time in your … Continue reading Sweet (poem)
