I want something different -
ice that ignites fire, gravity in space.
Maybe then we would notice the ones
we have never faced.
Maybe then we would realize
that in life,
no matter how far we might reach,
or how much we might achieve,
gravity still exists;
there's a place for humility.
I want something different.
I want to learn
how to save lives,
how to nod and give in;
I want to learn how to let go,
how to let Him.
I want to see the world
in a fourth dimension.
So I prayed.
He said, "Ask
and you will receive
whatever you need."
Did you know?
We can make a difference.
I would like to spend 3:15, and maybe some more
at the coffee shop.
Oh, not money; that is not needed.
Just time,
Because it's my escape.
In the afternoon at 3:15,
I touch the window and I can feel rain
less than an inch away.
Sometimes raindrops collide into one another,
and the stains on the bottom get washed away.
I wonder, for I've always wondered,
"How would it feel to roll off umbrellas
and paint the ground?
How would it feel to be dried off?"
Sometimes, I wish I were rain.
You know,
when things go the other way.
I love it when it's empty.
I love it when the only thing I hear is music
and the only thing I smell is the
I find myself changing order and rearranging words as I'm writing.
I find myself still shifting the syntax of poems, the syntax of things, after many many-times.
Then I find myself trying to manipulate things of the past as if they were soldiers, and I their commander.
I find myself struggling to shape my future as if I had the blueprint of life.
I find myself wanting to fast forward and wanting to leave the present behind.
Just 365 days.
Will I find?
My true desires
I have yet to fulfill;
My true identity
I have yet to find.
Because I know soon, soon I will find myself wanting to rewind.
What has once been nothing
is now filled with life
It's always after the rain do we truly
feel alive
We are fragile,
prone to the tumults and storms of night
We have the strength of a child,
breathing in tears with his heart contrite
In our frailty we are made strong,
for nothing will last without a taste of pain
To our friendship you have brought life
For eternities it will perpetuate
Our friendship, Scott,
is like a flower in the rain
I have been lethargically awake
Perceiving the world with my eyes half opened
Worn out and bent
I could collapse at any second, and still ponder:
What is up there?
Enigmas and mysteries
Do the ones of this world ever tell the truth?
Would I be the believer if they do?
Invitations and hesitations
Keeping people from accepting the truth
What should I do if the world is not being honest?
Incessantly making up lies from even more lies
What would you do?
Generations come and go
Still this place has, not at all, been transformed
My heart lingers between death and eternity
Not knowing a thing
Not knowing who I am and what I have bee
Let's dance under the moonlight
Surge to the rhythmic flowing waters
With bare feet, stroll along the dampened sand
Take my hand,
We'll dive
Down, deep, and plummet to the ocean floor
Then all the pain of the past and the present,
Even the sting of this penetrating moment
Into the ocean
Will vanish into thin air
And slowly disappear under the luminous glow of the moonlight…
