It's good and bad

in everything

looking at it

through both eyes

otherwise

all you see

is the light

The Immortal Wize

I was writing poems

in places

no one looks for poetry

mistaking silence

for rejection

I wrote poetry where

no one came to feel

I titled it Failure

it wasn’t failure

nothing was wrong

with the words

that were heard

by no one

no one...

stop asking questions

search no more for answers

refrain from the need for explanation

that is evolution

The Immortal Wize

you noticed
today
the flares I set in the middle of the dark road
many nights
I set them there
purposely
to direct you safely
to me

you noticed
today
the fireworks I purchased from the guy around the corner
he didn't have a license for ...

It's gonna hurt to leave it's gonna be hard to say goodbye There’s a place I go I don’t talk about it's down the road somewhere out there it’s calm and still it knows my name, like it knows my will the hands on the clock is stuck somewhere ...

some were born in silence others in screams I did not know how to name them all Each one cried a fragment of tears a mark left behind I would not forget that I survived myself the number stands before me Not as a goal yet to meet but as a clo...

what I wish for you is too much to pen
and if words could touch you in your corner of the universe
I want them to plant kisses all over you
to smother you long enough to take your breath away
to have you dance in the Caribbean windstorms
and ...

I was never afraid of being forgotten I was afraid of being remembered incorrectly So I stopped explaining I let silence correct the typos . I let time misunderstand me . The truth The real truth doesn’t rush to be aknowledged ...

what do you say
when you know it's over?
does love just float away
like a leaf in the breeze?
do you pour out your heart
to the nearest stranger
and every night
find yourself on your knees?

does the thought of her
keep you occupied

I'm not a poet

have gone through the rinse cycle

writer of poems

what you think about the words what you think the words are worth do you like the verse to not forget a word I must rehearse spring back in time put it in reverse relax remind myself to unwind the silver strands let the seasons blow in the wind t...

I never talked about

I never do talk about

What would be nothing more

Than a pointless argument

A shouting match

With no winner

I think we were cast on a journey where all things would be both known and unknown to us. We are cosmic beings but I just want to make sure you are having some fun while you are here. Take advantage literally of everything that the world has to of...

Time is a quiet teacher

it never raises its voice,

never begs to be noticed,

yet somehow,

it is always heard.

It slips through our fingers

like water we swore we could hold,

pooling in memories,

dripping into regrets,

can you see me?

a quick glance at my face
and longer stare at the clothes I wear
answering arbitrary questions

"do you got a job?"
or
"what kinda car you drive?"

and I smiled
giving acceptable
and yet
honest answers

we sat there over di...

Have you ever

Written your name on a foggy window

Childs play

You know when its warm inside

And its cold outside

Use your finger as a pen

Condensation is a sketch book

Temporary letters

Kiss the glass

Ephemeral consonant...

aligning my perspective

calming my mind
focusing on the objective

In between heartbeats

Whispered breaths of love

Nevertheless blessed

In the shadows of the witness

Beneath the golden horizons blessed

Sun-kissed

Upon the dawns’

New quest

Moonlit waves crashing

In the air

it was all too good to be true...

you
in that hip-huggin’ black dress
just lookin’ for me to
lock my arms around your waist
and hold you tighter than a crack addict holds his habit

your hair
flowing freely
softly
just lookin’ for my f...
