brand me

you whispered things

in my ear today

and I felt a rush

fueling that fire within.

my skin burned in ecstasy,

your name on my trembling lips.

this is sinning...?

Cold chills, insatiable.

I want to sin this way endlessly.

brand me with the mark

of pleasure obsessed,

forgiveness offered chastity.

I choose you baby and hell instead.

unfinished

I began a poem,

that I left unfinished

on your lips,

and I am afraid inspiration

won’t find me,

until I taste my words again...

no cure

let me tell you a little secret
about this thing i have learned.

see, if you take in someone else’s

poison, thinking you can cure them

by sharing it, you will instead,

store it within you.

baggage

you think you’re unhappy

because of where you are,

but if you’re not happy there,

you won’t be anywhere.

it really doesn’t matter where

you run to,

you take yourself with you.

dread and hate

Once upon a time,
there was a beautiful woman
born of two universes.

One of dread.
One of hate.

She was never quite sure
which universe she was in,
until she was submerged
in consequence.

On occasion the two universes
would become blurred

and she would become both beings-
to be one of power

and one of spite.

She saw herself in a different light
-or perhaps in none at all.
She felt her veins run fire
as she pulled away from pity
and she pulled inside to divine.

The legend lasted for so long,
she devoured her own conscience.

The ache got lost in loathing
and the hate took up its arms,
and she became the being
that shouldn’t exist at all.

consumed

Perhaps sometimes,

you can get so obsessed

with the betrayals of others,

that you forget your own.

reverence

The hours we spend together,

go by the fastest,

but they are the hours

I look forward to the most.

You are an amazing person,

with an incredibly beautiful,

fascinating soul.

The way you love and adore me,

is absolutely mind blowing...

reflect

look to the west baby,

and there

our memories

will be written in the sky...

dominator

The fountain of youth

can’t save you,

because time will murder you.

Beyond our sight

and reach, we have a life...

but we don’t hold the string.

inside

If the whole world was blind,
how many people would you impress?
No amount of physical beauty,
will ever be as valuable as a beautiful heart.
Lend me your eyes,
I can change what you see...

what I'm not

I am not an artist.


I am not a photographer.



I am not a designer or a musician.

I am not a poet, a painter or a writer.



I am not a philosopher,

a place, a smile, or a style.
I am an expressionist.

liberation

It’s the pathway to insanity.

It destroys the mind. 

When you watch those four walls,

keeping what’s left of you together,
crumble and decay.

In the end,

the only battle that counts,

is the one between you

and your mind. 

Only one victor.

One way out.

Do you escape from your mind,

or do you escape through it?

today

The moment you feel like
you have to prove your
worth to anyone,is the moment
to absolutely and utterly walk away.


The best day of your life,

is when you decide

your life is your own.

Know your self worth. 

No apologies or excuses.

If you have to walk away
from the negative people in your life...

Then walk.

It may not seem like it at the time,
but it's actually a gift to yourself.

From that day forward,

you alone are responsible

for the quality of your
life and the people in it.

Keep walking and don't look back. 

Because today,is a brand new day. 

Congratulations...

Today is the day your life really begins.

eliminate

We sneak into a vast place

throwing our troubles

into the water,

watching them die

with the sunset. 

The world is a beautiful place, isn’t it?

latitude

Every time I hear a train,

I close my eyes

and smile.

Every time I hear the sound
of that train....

it's you I think about.

Our adventures,

our memories,

our secret spot.

Just us,
tucked away from

the crazy world. 

Me and you baby... 

breaking all the rules.

Two things

Two things prevent you from happiness...

living in the past

and observing others.

Stop living in the past.
It's already happened,
and there's nothing
you can do to change it.

It is what it is. Let it go.

Stop comparing yourself others.
You are YOU.
Be happy with what you have.

No matter what,
there is always going to be
someone out there that
is prettier, skinnier, smarter....

Just be the best YOU that you can.  

forewarning

I wear my skin like caution tape 
wrapped around a crime scene,

and I whisper instructions

on how to evacuate

to anyone who comes close to me. 
My very existence is a warning sign.
 

shadows

#502

Burning bridges

Cast such lovely perfumes...

It’s always simpler to blame

the shadows,

than step into the flames.
