A photograph is more than a snapshot of times past.
It's a reminder of where you come from.
What makes a photograph special, is the emotion it evokes.
Just like an emotional photograph, I've longed to create emotional poetry.
Emotional word is less appealing then a photograph to most.
Thus the writer must be witty with his words, he must wrap his readers mind around his work.
If I can make you jump out of your seat, long for a loved one, fear for a protagonist, or cry for a lost soul, than I have achieved my goal.
What I love about writing is that it's art, but it comes purely from the artists imagination, more than any other art form. It
One more tour
I sleep
I wake
I march
I bathe
I sleep
One more war
I shoot
I scream
I cry
I bleed
I die
One more dead
They mourn
They sleep
They wake
They laugh
They live
I don't know who I am.
I look at my hands.
Then the mirror.
I find no answers
Nothing to prove my existence
I fear nothing, I know nothing, I am nothing.
As I Gaze into my eyes
The brown between pupil and iris reminds me,
I regain my bearings,
At long last I know my name,
Who am I? I am an answer.
I am the ring of holy matrimony
I am the circus that is war
I am the bliss that is death
I am what you are not
I am whomever I wish to be
The sword in the stone
The leaf in the wind
The sigil of excellence
and the badge of defeat.

All good things must end.
Please explain why this friendship quit.
Did you grow tired of my wit?
My one true friend,
Does your wife disapprove?
One drunken night was I a fool?
Am I an anchor... a burden to you?
Is it hard to put into words,
have I become so absurd?
My one true friend.
I do not understand,
please tell my why the fun must end.

Hurst and Tail Lights
They say that only good die young
Many good still carry guns
Men are always first to go, mind you
widows soon follow
They all end up with tail lights lined
flashing blues and blinking orange
mourning those who left behind

Generations Love Story
Stares lasting seconds,
before feet kick in.
Thinking of a line before they both stop again.
It's our generations love story.
Guy see's girl
Guy buys girl drink
Girl acts unimpressed but eventually caves in.
Girl flirts with guy the rest of the night
Guy gives girl "ride home"
Two months later girl calls guy...
I'm pregnant
Eyes open wide with such a surprise.
Is it mine, they all say
knowing very well that it's the only way.
Some will stay
if only for a while
Some leave
in a state of denial
Some try
knowing they aren't good enough
Some run off
for war is far away.
Yet others find romance
Its our generations love story
When I fly, the birds will wedge behind me,
My tribe will morph into beautiful natural symmetry.
When the winged beasts prey on us,
I'll strike them from the sky with a swift fierce blow.
Nothing will disrupt this beautiful harmony.
When I tread the fields, I will be alpha.
No other feline will tame me,
No creeping monster will assassinate me,
for I am alpha, and I am protected.
I'm stuck in my room.
Day after day I sit in my armchair doing nothing more than replaying video's that get me no closer to the achieved goal of a normal social standing in life.
I miss work constantly,
I don't even know if i still have a job, as I haven't left my house in a week,
other then for trips to fast food joints.
Yet here I am in my chair,
still the unproductive teen member of society,
the social outcast,
the lauded sociopath pariah of my time.
Perhaps, months will pass without change,
even years.
Perhaps, I'll be nothing more than a cadaver in an armchair,
by the time I'm ready to rejoin society as a normal human.
Maybe eve
any angsty teen can type
secret message in these texts
desperate attempt to impress
free speech allows me
jovial when applauded
kawi-wowi-cool when not
like it or not my poem is this.
