Stalwart
As my body catches up with my age I finally understand The sacrifices you made for us And as my eyes fail I can finally see The blood you had spilt on earth's crust Just so we Could be a bit better than you As my chest aches And my bones...
Nightly Escapade
Sitting beside you and humming music into your ear The moon shimmering in the lake beside us Your heart is a slow drum for our song As we stare at the sky And I smile as you lean against me, Adding your voice to mine, My heart a drum for...
I'm Going Home
Keep it under your pillow, And dream of things you always wanted Keep it under your pillow, And remember things you won't forget. Keep a piece of me with you, And hope we'll meet again.
Same Old, Same Old
A Slave of Routines. I am a slave of routines, and I am a dog to my addictions. I am helpless to fears, and I am hopeless to my dreams. I am a man flawed, and I can't help that. Through taking stock, I found a broken husk of a kid, a soul with...
Juxtapose

As the sun rose, shadows lengthened, and the night started to peel away slowly. The dawn, while it looked beautiful, felt... sad. He wasn't sure why, but it felt sad to him. He was leaving his home, and heading to college. He should be feeling happy,...
Warmer Soil and Water
The cold, loving winter has such nice weather And like two wolves sleeping together We dream of a time when things were better Dreaming of a time when our ears were wetter And like two bears we're fighting each other Like humans, we fight like...
Vagrant (poem)
It's about as far as the crow flies Over the hills and mountains There it lies The thing we've been searching for our entire lives We've went through hell and back for this thing So it better be worth the pain The stars never looked so...
Oxymoron
