(Romantic poem 👇🏼) Tell me, darling, why let me look into your eyes if we can never be? What cruel, but sweet torture to see in you the iris of the universe collapsed inside a soul; a lifelong journey truncated like a snapshot of forever, gone in a flash— in an untimely blink— as I navigate unanswered questions, traverse never-ending riddles, and ponder the meaning of life having found and lost a glimpse of its truth. . @mr.sensitivemacho 8.30.2019 . What an unusual image. 🙃 . #poetry #poetrycommunity #write #writing #writer #instapoem #instapoetry #spilledthoughts #instapoetry #instapoem #thepoetslist #poems #poet #creativewriting #writersnetwork #writingcommunity #pentupthoughts #lovepoems #freewrite #writerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zg7E4lGRQ/?igshid=ysu9jjjb62j4

(Not about suicide 👇🏼) The fortress walls don’t fall overnight. They weren’t built in a day. Sometimes you must risk knife to heart to heal those walls away. And it’s scary—yes it’s scary— to expose yourself again, knowing that at any moment ...indeed, your life could end. But you must wonder— truly wonder— . had you been living, at all? . As you slowly shed the stone cocoon that stored your flight for too long. . As you begin to let your life resume, even if soon it may be gone. . @mr.sensitivemacho 8.23.2019 . I am reflective, a little somber, but content. I’m satisfied with what I’ve been able to accomplish in my life. I’m at peace with the mistakes I’ve made. I’ve reached out to my loved ones, apologized to those I’ve hurt, and I’ve held hands with kind souls. I found God. What more could I ask for? If this life takes me tomorrow, then it takes a fulfilled man. Good night everyone and thank you for following. I’ve always wanted to share my poetry with people, and thanks to you all, I have. 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fyIg2laWM/?igshid=5cg0wqauxfyl

🙃 This is about a few different things. I wanted it to rhyme (and be punny) to make light of my personal struggles. I hope that comes through. #poem #poetry #instapoem #poetryisnotdead #rhymes #rhyme #igpoetry #igpoem #writingnetwork #mirakee https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fCvMnFNXA/?igshid=s3tamxedbsnf

You know this, 📦? Been listening to Corinne Bailey Rae to get in touch with my feelings again. She soothes my aches (or maybe we ache in tandem?) 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Us6XOlzrg/?igshid=t9vdhvs3v5if

(“Confusing Amusement” poem 👇🏼) Trapped in a funhouse, I became a screen for my own distortions, my light reflecting freely into open eyes. . There was nothing to obscure the massive glass shards found while roaming through the dark. There was nowhere to displace my disproportions. . I was on display among many broken portraits, ugly projections fabricated from a shattered self-image— My sight, refracted. . Vision no longer diffracted, illusions formed disillusionment as I succumbed to real demons who mirrored delusions. . In the end, it was an amusing confusion, though escape proved disorienting and recovery, elusive. . 8.11.2019 @mr.sensitivemacho . This is about a few different things. It was confusing to write, but satisfying. . . . . . . #light #funhouse #projection #psychoanalysis #writing #writer #Write #poem #poems #poetry #poet #spilledink #textgram #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #creativewriting #poetsociety #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity #poetrygram #poetryinstagram #instapoetry #instapoem #poetsoninstagram #igpoet #igpoets #igpoetry #writerscommunityofig #writersnetwork #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Coob_F4gv/?igshid=ur7mld131d2

(Spanish poem-collab 👇🏼) Como reconstruir un corazón hecho pedazos? Como seguir el camino cuando ya no se tiene ánimo, cuando todo se ha perdido? Es que se puede hablar del pecho, con las piezas escondidas, Buscando el rostro de una cara extraña, desaparecida? Es que se puede hablar de tantas cosas, por ejemplo, hoy después de tantas promesas no estas, después de decirme que conmigo hasta el final. No te veo. Despues de decirme te amo, no volviste jamas, Y yo aquí buscando agua dulce en el mar, solo encuentro sal para mi corazon recrear. . Collab con Roxana Calderón (@lacasadelasmaletas_) @mr.sensitivemacho 7.16.2019 . If you aren’t already following the author of “Casa De Las Maletas,” Roxane Calderón, you should do it immediately. She write with so much feeeeeeling. This was a pleasurable free-write.

(Rhyming poem 👇🏼) “sir, do you know where I can get a spoon?” she scathed, with privilege exuding from her pores. the brown men took pause from breaking a sweat to accommodate her in the unconditioned store, where neither heat nor hard labor was haven enough from the conquering tones of Anglican shores, at the base of a city ‘hardworking’ and rich, where my brothers remain sleepless, thankless and poor. . @mr.sensitivemacho 7.16.2019 . I don’t frequent downtown Manhattan very often, so I’m not used to the attitudes of the people down there... today I witnessed so much entitlement... I just had to write about it... she really made everyone stop what they were doing for a spoon and then stormed out without so much as a thank you... maybe it’s my mood... 🤷🏻‍♂️ . . . . . . #nycity #newyorkcity #writing #writer #Write #poem #poems #poetry #poet #rhymes #rhyme #textgram #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #creativewriting #poetsociety #instapoem #writingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz-6fFVlSpS/?igshid=1h00aqjet52rz

(Poem 👇🏼) Hide behind this shield of flesh My body is your haven, Heavenly and innocent Ready to perish for your sins. I accept the sacrifice To make you my eternal, And hope in me you find The will to live a life well lived. . —The Scapegoat . @mr.sensitivemacho 7.12.2019 . Today was a heavy day, yet I feel surprisingly light. There’s a light all around me, and a light I hold inside. The darkness in my soul, but a momentary blight; I have morals; I have hope; I have beauty; I have fight...

Is this vague enough? Does it make sense? It seems we’re all walking on egg shells, men and women. We are all given certain roles which influence both how we perceive each other, and prevent us from behaving in ways that would improve communication between us. This is of course my opinion... #vague #communication #writerlife #shortpoem #poetry https://www.instagram.com/p/BzwzIE0F7ly/?igshid=6z27a2o69t2x

Giving up looks so tempting, sometimes. I wonder how many people out there choose to be in bad company for refuge from bad weather—and loneliness. I wonder how many men and women stay in toxic relationships, or toxic jobs, out of necessity. I wonder how many children have no choice but to stay with toxic parents, or in toxic schools, with toxic staff and administrators—I wonder how many of them run away to the streets—out of necessity. I wonder how many homeless people choose homelessness because the weather inside their homes is less bearable than the weather outside. I wonder how many of them were forced out... and I wonder how many of them are able to avoid the institutions looking to send them... home. . As you can see, I’m not in the brightest of moods. I hope you all that follow me can weather the storm, I’m bound to bounce back and post prettier poetry, from home, or from outside, depending on where the wind blows. 😏 . Oh, And this write is probably inspired by an old Mariah Carey song I rediscovered recently, titled “Outside.” . . . . . . #homeless #outside #writing #writer #Write #poem #poems #poetry #poet #prose #instawriting #authorsofinstagram #spilledink #textgram #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #creativewriting #poetsociety #poetryisnotdead #poetrycommunity #heartbreak #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity #poetrygram #poetsoninstagram #igpoet #igpoets #igpoetry #writerslife #writersofig #writercommunity #pentupthoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bznt_OmldEG/?igshid=14x73jqjgd2xf

I wasn’t going to post today. I was going to make some excuse about how I’m burnt out, need me time, and all the other nonsense that I’ve allowed to characterize most of my life. Then I said (to myself), that’s bullshit, I have all these poems written, just post one. Then I saw this one and I remembered, until further notice, I’m thriving. It Sometimes feels like dying, but you’re never dying until after you’ve died—LOL. You know what I mean? Anyway, that’s all folks. You ain’t dying til you dead. THRIVE—and post about it!

So I had the pleasure to collab with the dope @wes_civilz again! I sort of peer pressured him to do this sappy poem, and was able to sway him by making it a little dark and humorous LOL. Thanks @wes_civilz!
