Rebel

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day30of30 #amwriting rebel soul the good boy runs the gauntlet on his horse he rides in darkness; on his pride he seeks greatness; on his heart he conquers fear; on his word he brings glory; on his honor he rides swiftly into the night away from it all no way to catch the evil that breaks through the good rebel soul will never die.

Love’s Defeat

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day29or30 #amwriting torn pictures and dirty clothes scattered across the ground stepping lightly through the void with the ghost of you around pretty eyes and a perfect voice I want to hear you say three words slowly rumble through your throat from your soul to your vocal cords and I remember the day you came then I left home never to be the same when I hear your footsteps now my heart skips two beats and I know that I’m safe and sound no fear of love’s defeat

Howling

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day28of30 #amwriting I am howling. Let the wind pick me up, carry me back into your arms, back the way I came before, back before the others hurt me more, back when love was the perfect storm. I am howling. Screaming at the sun to dry, laughing at the ones who stare, crying when my soul is trapped elsewhere, spinning out of control and dying, dying to be home with you. I am howling. Bury me when the wind changes, bury me when the floods rise, bury me when my heart stops beating, bury me when you walk away, although no grave will keep me in the dirt. I am howling, do you hear? My voice is soft but loud and clear are my thoughts, my brain rains with images, feelings, words with no form, I love you, life forever, without you there is nothing there, void the soul, no sound but the wind as it howls in emptiness.

Fight the World (Keep the Girl)

#NationalPoetryWeek #Day27of30 #amwriting falling deep mind spinning through the clouds drinking shots letting rough ends drag out I’ll fight the world to keep the girl with me crossing roads avoiding all the noise around the sun is heavy but to your arms I am bound no sleep for this villain inside of me bottle dripping consuming liquids to kill the demons heart breaking because I think my baby might be leaving I’ll fight forever to keep the girl with me

End Times

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day26of30 #amwriting in the middle of the day I saw the stars fall from the sky it was no surprise to me almost poetic it seemed the world would meet its demise on a perfect afternoon but even if the times are ending I will not run from you buildings will burn, cars will crash, the earth will quake, the sun won’t last and I’ll be next to you the fires kept rising I felt the heat move up my spine it meant nothing to me all I could think of was you and even if the times are ending I will run right to you the sky will fall, cities will sink, the earth will burn, gone in a blink and I’ll be here with you

The Inevitable Ending

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day25of30 #amwriting kill the stars in the sky so they fall and distract your eyes allow me to steal a kiss to start this brand new day my line of vision hopes to see a smile as your eyes fall on me the day is hardest when you don’t know what you want at the end of it all let us ride together let me be the one to take you there play along with the chorus turn up the volume on my soul run away from the falling stars let them burn up the ground before we rise to the sky the day is hardest when you don’t know what you want at the end of it all was it inevitable all along that this fire would stop

Dear Scientists, Please Invent Time Travel

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day24of30 #amwriting bring my maker take control of my sins the ones that overcome breaking emotional control a downpour of negative thoughts away I wish they would go but where would I put them in a box buried at sea in a safe launched at the sun as long as they burn forever or until they invent time travel so that I may wipe clean all my wrong doings all the things that torment my soul and live free with no burdens to break me

Don’t Look Down

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day23of30 #amwriting I still recall the way you were standing before me and that light in your eyes if only I left it all behind that day if only I ran from it all the day after and all the visions that poured through my mind in the weeks that followed in moments so low you took me to flight so high so far from despair that I never wanted to look down for if I did I know you would not be there

Dreaming in a Leather Jacket

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day22of30 #amwriting laying in my leather jacket fears folded over my lap the summer light slowly fading in as we hide ourselves inside away from the cold wind warm beverages and warm hearts this is where I’d rather be wrapped inside my leather jacket a dreamer trapped in reality through the window I see bored souls oh, how they would love to run just like they did when they were young time to be adults at least for now never too old to be a child never willing to give up a smile this is where I’d rather be wrapped inside my leather jacket a dreamer trapped in reality take me away take me away take me away from here

As Loud as Bombs

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day21of30 #amwriting through it all I see clear the long roads traveled the explosions in my heart noises as loud as bombs you cover your ears to and there it is the world dying all around us but we continue on and on two souls codependent the fire has been walked through no place to go but higher up now

It Was You

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day20of30 #amwriting regardless, it was you I loved all along, so true and pure, secretly staring at pictures, thoughts of your hair, and the heavenly feeling of your head on my chest.

Datura Dream Deferred

#NationalPoetryMonth #Day18of30 #amwriting my angel walks on my soul so slow a dream deferred to another day when our paths cease to cross and the rain fades the sun away what words are left to say when you throw all your dreams my way never thought this winding road would end and all that you screamed still echoes around in my head we have to live for today not for what might have been all our dreams deferred to another day when our paths cease to cross and we will sing along as the rain fades the sun away the scar you left on my soul has healed thanks to my angel tried as you might to burn this heart it is lifted so cry all you might but my journey has finally ended so I defer all your dreams to another day our paths have ceased to cross so let’s all sing along and let the rain fade the sun away

Datura Dream Rebound

#NationalPoetryDay #Day17of30 #amwriting all along you’ve been dreaming never stay awake despite all the souls you break is that sound your heart beating or the march of the lonely the sad and the beaten as your dreams fade away bring rise to another day now the night is gone my angel she suffers and so does the world that went and broke the girl all this time wasted dreaming it will all fall apart before it rebounds in your heart as your dreams fade away bring rise to another day now the night is gone what they can’t take away is the promise you made to never live the dream alone
