A simple arm drifting in the wind across the back of your sorrow

I told you how love can get buried deep into the bone and marrow

American Dream

I thought I knew the dream

That everlasting faithful thing

Full of naive hopes for deluded minds

To tell such a lie should be a crime

I thought I knew the dream was alive

I saw it in pictures magazines on the screen

Atop skyscrapers on billboards forever in motion on TV

It starts with a small wet freckle
high in the atmosphere that drops
with resignation from swollen black
circles of sighs. A falling flight
under a solemn sky its soft end
a splatter on my spider hand

curled in webs of her hair. She hands
me to my crib. Her sleeve slides across

The Professor sits in a

student's desk then

He stands at a podium

Walking back and forth to and fro

in constant motion

whilst lecturing

And I feel his azure eyes--or are they celestial blue?

fall upon my dark chocolate

in awe of it all

I stare back vexed

wanting to tell all yet

Death of a teachers pet. (Dactyilic Hexameter)


When the thought came from the leaders mind solving the line tears of joy cried loud.

Poetic irony found within classroom wide. Animals and Pets

Cheered the whole hearted affair seen from back seats of clouds high up lost

Lost to the pain of dark

Wakened by Love in our Hearts

True Fashion is Now seen where Truth Starts

Struck by bright Lightning and

Deafened in Ears His Displeasure shows

Life as we See it now

Will soon be Torn asunDer from Our Grasp

Only love Can save us Now

Poseidon Pray let us Swim with you

The days we have to make ourselves legends are numbered!

but those legends shall live on in time

We fight here today for our ancestors so they can tell generations that WE set them free.

So that they can shout to the skies OUR names with pride!

We fight here today so our lands are

The alley stank of overflowing god knows what

I was in a hurry to do absolutely nothing fast

Sometimes you just get that urge to do something

Anything

Anywhere

a french romance is pressing in on my heart

mustache and salutes and figured out poles

the April May and December 25th all sold

Just so as i can grasp at love before im torn apart

the depression of magpies without their silver looms

the walking away from clouds and stomping people crowds

the sheer volume

Watch out boy watch out who blames you
For shit you didn't do
Shit that happened year ago
When it was more obvious whose fault it was

Watch out now it catches you off guard
'cause your memory fades and your confidence wanes
Watch out boy

Less than a particle of dust am I

Less than a grain of sand with its history

Yet I see the geese feeding on a dewy lawn
