I long for dreams of oceans deep,
of sailing upon the waves,
for t'would mean I've had hours of sleep,
instead of thoughts depraved.
But to sleep would have my friends away,
for they live across the world.
Aches are a small price to pay,
for...

The trappings of man's design
leave me with an addiction,
a burning need to flee,
to leave this world behind,
adrift in a self made fiction
as my mind, unchained, feels free.

**Born To Be a Warrior.**
"It was so close so many times." Mom says sometimes, all about how I was meant to survive and that there was a meaning with it. That I was special. That I was meant for something big. But if I' am special and meant for...

freeform poem i just wrote. it came with many tears.
what do you make of a broken family?
a motherless home.
incompletion, separation, angst and longing.

did i miss her? yes.
was she here?

The voices in my head
belong to all my friends,
a viking here, an officer there
egos all around.
Refreshed anew by this lead,
a soldier bellows 'this is the end!'
as I pull out my hair,
and roll onto the ground.
Contacts ask 'are they...

Forward through time, backwards through space,
round and round, still I have no place.
Moving, stopping, seeking a thrill,
or some kind of message that isn't a bill.
All of these people to me have no face,
as they all go 'bout the great...

Raindrops like tears, slide down the road.
Carefully trimmed plants strain
with all the strength of Earth's lament
against the cage of man's design.
Perfect shapes for imperfect people
as a rogue vine chokes out the steeple.

Warmth running through my veins,
siren song of flame.
It seeks for me to give it the reigns,
as if it could be trusted to remain tame.
Anger, joy, and righteous pleasure,
wonder too, in equal measure.
Burning tracks into my brain,

Dormant branches reach up like fingers
to a cloudless sky,
where not even the bravest of crows fly,
and not a drop of summer's rain lingers.
Still the wind breathes,
stirring dead leaves.
The sun shines down bright,
warming only those...

I lay w'in the darkness,
trying in vain to sleep
as tiredness makes me weep,
and aches upon me press.
Early to work, late to rise,
toiling away noon to night,
all thoughts by morning, crosswise.
Perhaps this time I'll stay awake
and bask...
