P

Pause, perchance? Pacifistic people pine pandemically. Prophetic, poetic prose proffers purpose, protection.

Please pause! Perilous, pernicious players perpetuate programmed partisanship. Precious poetry provides peace, prosperity! Please perform. Per people's possibility. Promises, palliative promises, please!

Pardon. Pardon persistence. People's paradise pulls powerfully, painstakingly. Pl...

And So We Are

With breaths incomplete, more like a robot's

Who am I, if not half of a whole?

My starving heart is tangled up in knots

And the grip suffocates my soul

Dreams invade my implanted thoughts

Shiver through the pain and cold

And so I am

 

Seasons peaking with perfect promise

My summer flame faces the unknown

Joining the gold-bleeding artists

I strive to find a sense of...

What I Get

If I could stop overthinking 
and calm down when nothing happens
In order to be disgraced and move on
to not soon enough omit the quickly forgotten

If I could stop idealizing
and just give love purely and real
To actually be civilizing
so all can begin to really heal

Then I get a world of predators and cheats
among all individuals on every continent
With so many warring gods
there...

Eleven & Twelve

Come with me, she says. Down a black alley,
Into an oddly tucked garage. To where, Elle?
I hurriedly spout, but there's no time now
We must be faster, lest we should be caught
Her radiating magnetism pulls
Like the sunfire inside of candles
Still, from the very moment we locked eyes
I'm drawn like the () of butterflies
This cosmic power must not be a ploy
I'm surrenderin...

The Lovers Lost

With each lover lost
Walks a piece of my soul
So publicly private
I'm a cliche of unique
 
Cultivated common grounds
On which I stood some shelter
So rotten with luck
I can't tell if I'm malignant
 
Blossomed petals of balance
And sunshaded
With time to consider time
And yoga as I write
 
Footing hardened
By entwining energies
So alive I could die

If Only We Knew

Our hearts are like hurricanes
Pinned down and abused for being water
Our hearts are like most others'
Just left alone for us all day
Our hearts are like hurricanes
Swelled up and abused
 
All around you, all around me
The storms, the seas, the skies
I've often tried to calmly see
The sun, the fields, the tide
 
Brave it now, hold it down
 
If only we knew the energy we...

Happy Huggard

Your walls soar high
You can step outside
Breathing feels alright
Young is the night
 
You're ready to lie
You hide it all inside
Who would dare put up a fight?
They've only one goal in sight
 
What can they give to vy?
It's only your time to bide
Nothing they'd say would be right
Again you supress the fright
 
It's time for a new try
You pick up you...

Another Given Year

Bittersweet Wales, her heart I must let go
March home to Berlin, let love have me so
Beneath the Italian sun I find peace
Finally Spring beckons my sacred feast
 
An April so novel, so sour, so pure
Shall I ever be able to find the cure?
The road welcomes my eager stride
Como paradise amplified 
 
Mountaintop solace cradles the lake
Fireside storms' chorus dulls th...
