sometimes
life rips a mind apart
adds heavy to the air
mutes the heart
what time can mend
who can say
but know my feelings
won't go away
tragedy has unfolded
it isn't fair
but one day we'll kiss
as flowers adorn your hair
nothing's broken
just oscillating
for love is found
even in waiting

Nothing is

An outcast that’s forgotten
with lady #melancholic as

I spread my wings
and descend
to the land of the

But I must have hope

I want back
my childish naivety
when there were
goodies & baddies
& justice
was the norm—
a given
before I knew
there are just people
& evil—
one ruled by emotion,
the other
by cold ambition
before I learned
that reality
doesn’t really exist—
it’s a construct
the powerful impose
on the powerless.

Freedom
is a contract
between
all the things
you could do
and all the things
you should do
in a shared society;
when federal agents
don’t care
about murdering
civilians
and
investigations
are impeded
that contract
is
null
and void-
I no longer
want to
be a party
to it

How can they be
so #nonchalant?
The answer is easy:
no empathy whatsoever
we call it sociopathy
they call it survival
of the fittest.

SURVIVE AND THRIVE
Adorn yourself
in the purity of sky
and whisper your everything
to the nonchalant wind.
You are the savior
that frolics through
the daydream of the universe
and with the knowledge
of a healing wound,
you write
"survive and thrive"
in the smoky air.

You approached me
audaciously—
a sly smile
matched only
by your
indefatigable will
I thought my heart
indomitable
yet when you
rattled the bars
they parted—
my stubborness
no match
for your stamina
now the ramparts
reinstated
with you inside
so, I ask you,
who captured
who?
