BARE Dark and bleak moments Race to the heart Of every boy and girl That retaliate the start Of a time less hopeful Choking on the fumes Of past memories overdrawn The future feeling looms And challenges a remodel And fix to the wheel That we race on daily Attempting to catch a deal And break from exhaustion Not able to refresh Empty from the beginning All we have revealed in flesh ... ... ... #meditation #poet #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #writer #weekendvibes #writersofinstagram #beauty #love #nyc #california #travel #travelphotography #travelbug #naturelovers #naturephotography #inspiration #instatravel #instafollow #follow4follow #followme #adventuretime #adventure #beachlife #calilife #photography #photographer #photooftheday

HISTORY ON REPEAT Think about this time often As I’m drifting off into A fitful fighting sleep One that tries me through Obstacle after obstacle Never finding a resting spot Always the next game or score How can this be sustained The opposite of restful And yet day after day And night after night I find myself in the same place ... ... ... #meditation #poet #poem #poetry #picoftheday #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #writer #writing #writersofinstagram #love #sunrise #fbf #tgif #beauty #photography #photographer #travelphotography #traveler #hiking #motivation #inspiration #instatravel #instafollow #follow4follow #followme #naturelovers #naturephotography #nyc #views (at Bonticou Crag Peak)

RAMBLINGS Another day finished and done Overused and overpowered By what used to fill me whole Can’t second guess the truth Of the reality we face daily This is our plight and role Our mission to stay strong Though we are torn down Tossed aside without a glance An internal heat and fire Builds with each won war This is our final chance ... ... ... #meditation #poet #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #photooftheday #photography #photographer #travelphotography #writer #writing #writersofinstagram #sunset #sunsets #beauty #adventuretime #love #scenic #picoftheday #instafollow #instatravel #artistic #actorslife #beachlife #follow4follow #followme #happyhour #happyheart #inspiration (at Palmetto, Florida)

TEARS Gravity has ahold Bringing me down to fall On my knees with a crash No chance to make the call And change it all for good Practicing what I know To be true in most cases Instead creates a row And riff between the best Of patient and loyal heart What can be the answer now But to blindly fall apart Give in to what I feel The searing soaring fear That this will never end Especially the tears ... ... ... #meditation #poet #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #photography #photographer #beauty #inspiration #adventure #happyhour #writer #writing #writersofinstagram #love #instafollow #instatravel #nyc #citylife #cityscape #inspiration #tbt #travelphotography #sunsets #follow4follow #followme #naturelovers #naturephotography #sunset (at Fort Tryon Park Trust)

DRIFTING Drifting off to sleep Thoughts of a world On the tips of my fingers Not yet discovered Wrapped in the warmth That I feel from a kiss Lips so delicate and light I could cry from the strength That feeding from the taste Alone is enough to linger When at times it seems impossible Yet here I am On the brink of madness From the quiet calm That you have over me An order rightly demanded ... ... ... #meditation #poet #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #writer #writing #weekendvibes #writersofinstagram #sundayfunday #sunset #worldtradecenter #beauty #citylife #cityscape #nyc #sweetdreams #love #adventuretime #inspiration #instafollow #follow4follow #followme #photography #photographer #photooftheday #picoftheday #aboutlastnight #actorslife (at ONE WORLD OBSERVATORY)
