and skies threaten snow
I think of you
When early sunbeams bring
first declarations of spring
I think of you
When day's time grows
and warm winds blow
I think of you
When gold leaves fall
Crisp air calls
and I think of you

Echo
If I write how I feel
will you take it all
and make it national
headlines in your world
Is it irrational
to capture all
the feelings I have
inside of this ink
I hate to think
that's the furthest
that they'll go
but I love to think
I'm on the brink
of popular echo

What is Poetry!?
-
Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh.

Oceans: Our Story
Beginning
Oceans
Waves, small ones
Ticking
Time
Lives went by
Parks and trees
Rollercoasters
Me on my knees in front of you
Moving
Changing
Lives rearranging
Oceans
Bigger waves
Happy, smiling
Fighting
Writing
Making up
New life
A son
Scared
Young
Fighting
Fighting
A new family torn apart
Waiting
Wanting
Playing
Flaunting
Run
Run
Northern skies
Brown black eyes
Looking into green gray ones
Going home
A child
Just one
Turning into two
Not feeling well
You start to speak
She looks
Just like you
Living
Laughing
Changing
Crying
Lots of sleepless nights
Music
Clowns and carnivals
Trying longer
Than before
Families ties
Loosen in the wars
Run again
Run once more
Flying high
Flying low
Opposite directions
One east
One west
Children
Two
Lost inside rejection
Fighting beasts
Phone calls, letters
Call
Call
call
From the east
A look back home
Looking looking looking
Concrete walls
Locked up doors
Doing better than before
Looking
East
He unlocks the door
Looking through
Walking in..
She loves him even more

Sleep
Sleep is my friend
When I am on my knees it takes me
When I am standing and fighting, it waits for me
It let’s me be
Until I’m ready
I love my sleep
I put it off so long
When all it wants
Is to keep me safe
Inside it’s waiting arms…..

Voices
Artwork by: Shelly Ramasocky |
He’d heard the voices once before, They were all recalling,
while lying in his bed. Softly whispering out at night, he feared he may be
dead. Upon the day came great relief, the voices were only coming from
somewhere in his head.
But, not this time, out of his bed, they got him now, the
voices were too loud. Outside the house and just above, there formed a
darkening cloud. Sadly, They all had to step aside and watch the voices chase
him ‘round.
The voices built him up and tore him down, reducing him to
nothing. The voices demanded his soul, demanded his mind, and all his life
would bring. After everyone left him and all hope was lost, the voices,
the voices that were calling before had begun to sing;
Come with us
You should not stay
Come with us
We know the way
Come with us
we’ll give you rest
Come with us
You failed the test
And the song went on and on, he followed as they led. Now you lie down, he’ll come for you. He
listened as they said. And when he woke,
he was finally alone with the voices in his head.

Self Awareness
A rush of energy opens my eyes
Dripping from the highest skies
Are pieces of my reflection
I realize how much time’s gone by
And just how much has been wasted
I look down
I’m not sure how
The reflection is just a puddle on the ground
The sun shoots high
More time flies by
The puddle starts to rise
In waifs of steam and vapor
Gazing up
I’m looking for
The reflection that has gone twice before
It rises up
Unleashed, unbound
I finally found…
That time is never wasted

Death of Mind
dead entities....
run around my mind
i hate them
but they seem to find
what i am looking for
he closes the door
but it's wide open
i try to sleep
but there are words unspoken
wandering
i try to find
the dead entities
that run around my mind
i hate them
but they seem to find
what i am looking for....
