are you bored of the love

are you bored of the drives

are you bored of the kisses

are you bored of the sex

are you bored of me trying 

are you bored of the dates 

are you bored of my family 

are you bored of the car

are you bored of my body 

are you bored of the laughs 

and my mother who loves you

are you bored of our life 

our future 

our nights

are you b...

at night, I create

as the day ends the thoughts begin

like fireflies, they become more prominent as the sun goes down 

and the harder I look the more I see

if I am lucky I may catch one 

observe it’s intricacy in a glass jar where it may blossom into a poem 

or shrivel into a worry, expressing its distaste for captivity through insecurity 

most of the time they fly away

with my words I can destroy or create within seconds

and this is a power I have learned to wield responsibly

the words of others, however, are irresponsible and erratic 

I confess now that I do not understand people 

and people do not understand me

no matter what words I speak with the intent of creation

somewhere they are interpreted with destruction 

I say let the feeble bon...

there can be no silence

when the love is so strong you could scream it from the rooftops 

there can be no peace

when you find somebody worth fighting for night and day

there can be no calm

when you are terrified of being alone

how do I love, without hating myself? 

in the presence of your beauty I feel inferior

yet so loved and so cherished 

but I don’t understand why

your gentle figure guides my hands to where you want them without even telling me 

I look down at your freckled face and see a pretend innocence that begs me to play along

pressing your curly head against my chest you become one with my heartbeat and I revel in the closeness

I yearn for your body throughout the day 

it drives me to know it’s mine to explore 

I get lost in the smooth...

in a small town near the ocean

a man stares at the sky

asking for it’s answers

praying for it’s promise

we are used to knowing everything 

but about the universe, we know little

all we can do is stare 

and be drawn in by the discomfort of not knowing 

yet appreciating the comfort of knowing it’s always there

I aim for the dark side of the moon

the part nobody sees or ...

sometimes I’m alone

I wish I knew why 

I sit and watch people go by

restaurants, parks, stores

they’re not alone

but I don’t envy them

they remind me of important things 

like boredom 

wasted time

useless personalities

their wedding cake doesn’t taste like ours

even when I’m alone

I wish there were words for how much I love you 

I wish there was something I could write 

its not a sentence or an essay or a poem

it’s a feeling and a closeness I can’t live without 

it’s days and days of trying to grow together while learning to understand ourselves 

it’s the time we spent apart and how fake and wrong it all was 

but there you were

with your beautiful eyes ...

throughout the entire plethora of illicit drugs waiting to be addressed, the most poetic would have to be LSD

as your humble writer I cannot confirm or deny any personal experiences  

but writing is a wonderful art, isn’t it 

the story of acid begins this way 

you look at the world through a distorted magnifying glass 

some problems become huge, some become immensely small

take a moment to think about the outside world

every individual is chasing a long expired fantasy

struggling in their own way until the definition of success entirely shifts

as a culture we all know what happens when people lose faith

so we created structure and lies to reinforce the fairytale 

a million different chances to find our way and fit into what they see as acceptable

one day in the spring the sun rose over our beginning 

the warmth of its earliest rays gave us hope and rebirth 

we woke ourselves up just to see it 

for we knew it would be beautiful 

we knew that clouds would pass 

but the sun would always rise

it was an unspoken truth 

we had no words but felt every feeling 

living in our own world and rebelling in our own way

the news broke in January 

in February, people started to panic

very soon the world became a different place 

we began to feel abandoned by our leadership 

we were misled, it wasn’t a hoax

the world around us began to shrink 

and for the first time in recent memory, there was no business as usual 

there was no life

only a growing number of distant deaths that slowly began t...

as my loneliness grows, so too does it’s presence in my mind 

and thus in my writing as well 

I think about you more when I have nobody else to think about 

it’s like a disease 

beginning slowly in the places we spent our time together 

spreading to the riverside and the little town that surrounds it 

above every head is a dark cloud 

they’re not aware of it, but their world i...

let me take you somewhere far from here

far from the rocks and the shore 

out of the fog, into the starlit night 

I will help you find your way 

lead you to safety and confidence 

away from confusion and loss 

maybe I can’t fix everything 

but I can make things brighter 

show you a warmth the cold world could never freeze out

a new chapter in your voyage

looks like I’ve overstayed my welcome

it’s time to leave 

away from the jurisdiction of the unruly county sheriff 

from the ranch in the desert under the hot sun 

the horses will have to stay 

the cattle too 

but I’ll never forget the ghost town 

or at least that’s what it will be when I’m gone 

the bounty hunters can have their chase 

I’ll be far away by sundown

around and around we go 

through the neon landscape under the overcast sky 

searching for warmth and safety 

only finding more confusion and uncertainty 

yet we keep on 

a silent hope burns softly like the lights on that first lobster boat of the morning 

we begin our days at night and end them below the awareness of others

much like the lobsterman, we live a different life an...

silence

not quite silent

music and the road beneath my tires

I turn Mac Miller up louder

I’m not listening 

as loud as it will play and I hear nothing

I’m too lost in my mind 

too many thoughts leftover from a busy day 

I drive the highway like I’ve been doing it all my life 

I’m in my element and I’m finally alone

Hampton, Boston, Portsmouth, Portland

the path of destruction was miles wide

nothing remained

no supplies, no money, no homes

against all odds, how does one person rebuild?

to create an empire on the ruins of a city is monumental 

the horseman assessed the situation and became overwhelmed

starvation had begun to set in when the blacksmith caught sight of him

he asked the horseman how he survived

I hate falling in love

isn’t that wild? 

that feeling of needing to be closer to someone 

needing to find out who they are

I hate it 

it’s not because it’s never done me good in the past 

it’s not because I’m bitter 

I’m not shy or remorseful or angry

I just hate it 

maybe if I were closer to you 

maybe if I knew more about you

I wouldn’t hate it as much

I was never much good at gambling

I write this from within an insurmountable pit of debt 

past and present

its just not paying off

I bet everything once, and lost 

does that mean I have less than anything? 

probably not, I’m still taking chances

it’s not looking bright

I wish I knew when to stop 

when to go home 

when to take a break 

living with no boundaries is interesting 

it’s a lot of responsibility 

but when do you give up when your constitution tells you not to 

it’s a lot of disappointment 

a lot of starting over 

a lot of lonely nights 

someday I’ll settle down

but for now the only rule is that there are no rules

her eyes said ‘save me’

he didn’t know how 

it was torture for a while

but things change

a smile became a kiss

the gentle brush of a shoulder became a thousand nights of inching closer, one laugh at a time 

one day her eyes said ‘I love you’

his heart loved her more

but had he saved her? 

a memory of that first night they met invaded his mind like a lighthouse cutting th...

I really like you

everything about you 

I want to watch you grow and thrive 

take your first steps out of the abyss 

why do I have to feel this way?

I’m just as lost as everyone else

but I know one thing

I’ll talk to you later 

goodbye

it’s weird, isn’t it

not knowing the fate of our world 

maybe we’re panicking too much 

but it makes you think 

are we really this fragile 

is all our history really just words

the reality is we can be defeated in a day

by anything or anyone 

who are we to assume the universe is ours

no, we’re just living in it 

learning about it changes nothing

I am the light in the window

the wooden cross beside the highway

I am the friend of a friend

the abusive ex 

the intoxicating new love

the drug overdose in the paper

the graffiti on the bridge 

I am a voice in the arena

a stack of rocks on the beach

the music in the distance 

a lost soul who’s path might cross yours

or will it ever 

I hope so

I hope you still like bacon on your pizza

and the past doesn’t haunt you as much

because it haunts me

I see what it’s done to you 

not just the drugs

the people and their ways

you exist because of the world

but the world takes from you every day

are we all giving back? 

or are we being robbed 

never the less

I will give you some of me

It makes sense now

the lonely astronaut 

the stars made a promise that I trusted

you trusted them too, didn’t you 

it makes no sense anymore

but flying never made sense
