Homosexuality BitesThey found me slumped over in the school showers
With a towel loosely wrapped around my waist
Scalding hot water was blistering my skin
As I bled from an unspeakable place

A hard-handed teacher dragged me to my feet
With little or no sign of sympathy
For the bruising to my feeble framed ribcage
And the fractures to my identity

I think they all thought that I had it coming
As no one was willing to testify
That the sodomy inflicted upon me
Was something to which I hadn’t complied

Boisterous boys laughing in the corridors
As I shamefully limped throughout the day
Not a thought for the pain that was inflicted
Just worried for what my pa
I Am a WriterI am a writer.
Yes, it’s easy for me to fall into a dream.
But there is nothing wrong with being tighter
With a story’s theme.

I am a writer.
That is all I will ever want to be
In the end, my story will be lighter,
And my characters will finally be free.

I am a writer.
There is nothing easier to say than that.
I will never let a story wither
Nor let a story fall flat

I am a soon to be author.
With several books ready to be read,
I want them to have great honor
And wish there will be tears shed.
Pieces of chessKings and pawns are all the same
All but pieces in a game
A stroke of luck
A touch of ill fate

Noone cares just who you are

Identities are concealed
When we masquerade.

Familiar voices
Behind flamboyant disguise
Recognize those eyes.

The Soldier's Letter To HomeI write this from my death bed
My eyes fading in the light
Drowned in crimson red,
Drowned in shaking fright.
The enemy has won
The war now has ended
And though killed by my son
May his sins be ammended.
For this is Civil War
I cannot change the tide
So from you I implore
Do what is right.

Bury me somewhere nice
Near, and fair to look at
And forgive my son his sins;
For in war, no one wins.
Take Death's HandI do not fear Death.
My life has been long enough.
It's time I take my last breath.
I shall not rebuff.
Death stands by my side,
his hand extended for me to take.
His face is veiled like that of a bride.
This life I now forsake
as Death takes me away.
I do not regret
for I am free of the fray.
Please do not fret
for I am okay.
~Evil creatures~
They're evil creatures in the night
Lurking in the shadows but still seeing there sight
From they're pale skin and glowing eyes
Out there graves they will rise
Moaning and groaning is what you hear
Your body will soon fill with fear

They walk or run in a fast pace
Here they come for the chase
Get ready for the fear
Coming through the door they are here
Board up the windows to keep them away
This is the place you don't want to stay

It's too late now they're breaking in
It's a fight you may not win
Grab you shotgun prepare for the fight
This battle may last all night
Pain and blood come from your arm
A bite from these creatures can cause muc
AveryHis veins are filled with music and with stars.
His thoughts are filled with emptiness and flow.
His voice is made of dusty old guitars.
His mind’s a rusty cog that clanks below.
And these affects and gifts with which he’s blessed –
Or cursed, as alternately it may be –
Are some well-known and some yet unaddressed,
And they determine all that he must see.
But when his veins must open up and burst
And when his thoughts in dark directions fly,
When all his voice can do is preach the worst,
When all his mind can think to do is die –
It gives him pause to check himself and breathe.
May he stay in this world and never
EndlingHere am I, the captive thylacine
Treading my tiger-striped, ungainly way
Around the metal-mesh confinement of my cage
Here am I, exhibited, exhumed
Brought from the brink to pace another day
A living testament, a final thumbmarked page
Here am I, the only specimen
Bereft of mate, of pups, of kin, of kind
Watching the claws of history extending
Here am I, the final thylacine
The only one, the last, the lost, the endling.
Who Was HeHe stood at the average height for men.
His built was quite average.
His eyes were that of cyan.
Nonetheless, he was average.

His hair was that of blonde,
Nearly, white.
His walk and personality had a great bond.
He was a confident sight.

His skin was a delicate peach.
His muscles were quite firm.
So irresistible, a teasing reach.
His appearance had its own term.

One that the dictionary cannot confirm.

Who was he?
That man with his own sea?
He was one without a name.
His appearance was a taunting game.
He was one without a number for an age.
Forget it, he’s fake on this page.
SuicideThere's no blood on her hands
Bullet holes in the door
Nothing but colored pills
And her lying on the floor

You look at her face
There's despair in her eyes
And you wonder what she thought
As she fell and died

And maybe you're begging her to come back
And maybe you're asking why she let go
The hurt in your chest feels like a heart attack
And now you finally know

Maybe you could've helped her
If you'd looked past your own nose
Maybe she'd be alive now
You had a chance, this is what you chose
Now maybe you'll learn from things
That you didn't see
Maybe you'll open your eyes
And rescue him, or her, or me
Maybe she cried a prayer
For the oth
All AloneI'm sitting in my four walled room
Their closing in, like an ancient tomb
I feel like I'm wasting time for two
When all I want is me and you
One WindowOne window is all I need
To see the world for what it truly is
With my mind a system of creed.
My talent can depict or dismiss
This world of goals, so hear my heed.

I sit down beside a journal,
My fingers clutching a pencil.
I will make my character’s life spiral
And send them off to a council
Where they must advance through the next trial.

One window is all I need
To watch them afar a long, hazy field,
Where I can study their speed
Of understanding when they will yield
Of life, itself, so they need to hear my heed.

My character’s goal,
As well as mine,
Is to be whole
And see how bright life can shine
Even through the darkness
You never chose the middle pathYou never chose the middle path, the place
of careful, safe and unremarkable,
the sky at 10 am, the camp at base,
the decaf paper cup unbreakable.

You had to go with high and low and real,
with rich and fast and things more notable:
the sky at midnight, Himalayan-feel,
the oxygen and you, unstoppable.

But then your weight became too much for skies.
Your melamine became a china cup.
And those who cried moved on to lesser highs.
They look ahead, or down, but never up.

You never chose the middle path, you raced.
I’m looking up, and pray that speed is graced.

The FeastSliced in half and split through sideways,
my heart is on his cutting board,
a piece of meat, chopped fillet,
bleeding still beneath the sword.

With careful prepping of his treat,
seasoned slowly with a spoon,
he salted my last heartbeats,
festering my mortal wound.

My heart his dinner, prepped with hatred
by the one whose stomach growls.
Fried and charred, flipped and plated,
the feast is ready for him now.

Napkin tucked and fork in hand,
he licks his chops, so satisfied,
glad to have this heart of man
underneath his hungry eyes.

But taste is poison! Brings him dread!
The murder with this hate-filled knife
has poisoned him,
MAUI Trip BlogI run a blog called Grapes on Divine, and have been loading an 8-part trip blog there these past 2 weeks.  Here's the link to part 1, newer posts/other parts easily accessible from there.

More Maui Pre-ReflectionsIn just three days, I will embark on one of the greatest adventures I've ever undertaken.  Just over 5,000 miles away, there's an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called Maui, part of The Hawaiian Islands.  And I'll be exploring and experiencing as many square feet of that island as I can within the 12 full days I'm there.

After roughly eight or nine months of research and planning, I'm finally at a point where I feel totally on top of the pre-vacation work I wanted to complete.  Airplane tickets, car and condo rental, even van tour and submarine ride reservations are all made and information printed.  The guide books I've read thro
Maui Pre-ReflectionsIn 24 days, I will be on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean more than 2,500 miles from the nearest continent.  Just grasping that reality alone, not the journey, not the vacation itself, is a breathtaking realization of the unreal.  Out literally in the middle of no where, a few volcanoes pushed forth from underneath the ocean floor, and as they gushed their energies from within the earth's crust, they created islands that humans now inhabit, and humans now visit from all around the planet.

It's an astonishing experience looking at Hawaii on a map, knowing you will soon be standing on solid ground out there in t

Slippery glances leftward behind the hedge,
a furtive lookout of what's ahead,
crystal knowing through a vase's wall
is a fuzzy-at-best understanding.

Listening for the call from above,
or around if that's the direction,
yet the mystery is its own call
to attention.

The what's-next of my day and year and life
is always on my mind,
if that wasn't already clear
to the reader.

And upward, backward, over more,
I twist and turn and stretch and seek,
only to learn time and again,
that the answer lies silently
in the extra line.

The WindI don't know what to write or say,
the dreams keep coming anyway.
Winds that blow me toward an answer
will not heal my neighbor's cancer.
So what to do to fix this world,
if the written word is all I hurl?
Length and width and miles flying,
measuring my lifetime's dying.
What more chances will I have
to fix what's broken in my hand?
I call upon the empty silence
for help in working through this violence.
The wind just blows me over still,
the answer's missing from my windowsill.
I'm all alone on this adventure:
A challenge that I must conjecture
is what I face in solo rounds
against the time that keeps me bound.
But reaching

Life, Observed

:iconangelenroute:

Started: 9:45 PM


Stepping forward almost
walking further back,
wishing by the meadow
of Father's nearest track,

I lept among the flowers,
and danced with lily minds,
the way my mother taught me,
the brightest, sweetest kinds.

Sun upon my forehead
and grass beneath my toes,
I walked through lands of daydreams
and watched as water flowed.

Two kinds of people watched me,
two meanings made my day
a kind of silent testing
in every sort of way.

I moved along the corner,
and danced along the fence
where fireflies and honeybees
made magic quite immense.

And all along the noontime
and all throughout the night,
I learned the birth of nature
and breathed the ray of light.

Two kinds of people watched me,
two souls unknown to me,
the ones I thought I knew
and ones I couldn't see.
