Inspiration

Let boredom consume you

Let complacency ensnare you

Let fear devour you

And leave you helpless against the plight the world has left you in

Give in to mediocrity

Resign yourself

Ignore the spark

Ignore the hint of inspiration

Pay no mind to the fire

Pay no mind to the idea growing

Breathing

Becoming

Turn away from the blaze

Turn away from the person you can see

The person you want to be

The person you can be

The spark has ignited you

Inspiration has overtaken you

Let boredom subside

Let complacency release

Let fear go hungry

The world isn’t ready for what you’re about to let loose

The Screen Goes Black

Another (semi) recent one...

The Screen Goes Black

In between the flickers and starts of web pages

My screen goes black for brief moments

And I’m treated to my reflection

Caught unawares by it, truthfully

And I’m staggered at how disenchanted I appear

The loneliness I emit

An expressionless reflection

Offering no answers

Only more questions

Are things better on your side of the screen?

We each hope so

But we know better

I want nothing to do with this depressing portal

This accidental mirror

That has given me more awareness than I wanted

More heartache than I was ready to absorb

I cringe at what he has imparted

For that sad bastard makes me want to crank up the brightness

And look away

Rather than face the darkness

Of a screen - and a world - gone black

A or A or C

A new(er) poem...

A or A or C

What have you taken away from me?

What have you given back?

What if I asked you to pray for me?

What if I said religion’s a hack?

What if the truths you have told me

Were just lies you sold to yourself?

What if the heaven you promised me

Was a carefully constructed hell?

What if this world is for suckers?

And the leeches call themselves sane?

But these righteous and poor motherfuckers

Are just roosters atop weather vanes.

A recent poem - "I Want to See"

I Want to See

I want to see glaciers burn
To see earthquakes build
To see the tide bring my sandcastle back
I want to see the rain leave us dry
To see the wind comb my hair
To see grass retreat to the ground
I want to see the wrinkles smooth
To see the trail become clear
To see my grandfather breathe
I want to see the bottle refill
To see the fist heal the wound
To see the glass shattered pristine
I want to see the tears dry your face
To see a light in your eyes
To see you walking back to me

A recent poem - "Jose's Heartbeat"

Jose’s Heartbeat

We made a promise to each other
But a promise slowly fades
A color lost among the crowd
Of so many different shades
As years creep by and wrinkles deepen
My eyes forget your face
The softness of a skin forgotten
Gone, your kisses from my taste
A spark became a fire
A fire became a blaze
A blaze weakened to embers
Now ashes fill my gaze
I try looking back with no regret
But regret’s a mighty force
Our ship of hope and foolish love
Has drifted far off course
