A Point of Defiance
As an island rising
Above the horizon
In an ocean of
Mist and fog
Mountain’s base is
Radiating with
Higher peaks still
Obscured
Like a point defying
And shying away
Into the abyssal blue
Into the choked sky
At the edge of
A valley
An inland empire
In a great canyon
Hearing the void
Sun rays smiting
Smoke asunder
A titan’s stone
Stoic face revealed
World defiant

Zen With What Happens – Journal 5/22/17
The only thing worse than a mutual breakup is waking up the next morning incredibly sick, with a body feeling ridden by polio it’s so inactive, and then doing chemistry homework before deciding to open up your not-blog to write about it. So here I am!
I’ve found a lot of my life revolves around relationships. I write about them a lot. Natural is about relationships, semi autobiographical. Some of my abstracter poetry is because I’m infatuated with someone, and now I’m single again. Another er...

Teardrop Shapes
The way you look
On top of me
You’re my nicotine
It’s dim inside
But your shapes
Stand out
You’re all the feeling
I’m feeling
Experience itself
Teardrop hips
And narrow lines
When you rise
And stretch above me
I can feel
The scars
On your back
From when
You had wings

Statues Watching
A copse of tall bark
Stands stark
Leaves waving in
Breeze
Giants rooted in the dirt
Statuesque trees
Looking over us
Like gargoyles
With knotted eyes they spy
Upon those in their grove
Still and
Stoic in watching

Self Destruct
I would probably
Self destruct
If you weren’t around
You save me from myself
When I think for myself
And you’re the one
Who comes up from
Behind the wall
To see what trouble
I’ve gotten into
And you untangle me
From my mess
Assist and wait for me
To be in distress
Again
You make me feel
Like there’s nothing wrong
Even when I suck
At singing songs
I feel like
You redefine natural
And make it so there’s
Nothing to fear
I just need you here
Sometimes
When it hurts too much
I can’t think enough

Worst Side of Me
You got what you were
Looking for
I guess
2 AM before a final
A year and a half
After we stopped
Talking
2 years and 3 months
After I ripped
Your heart to shreds
Didn’t listen
To anything you said
“I hate that I love you”
I can understand that
Feeling now but
Somewhere deep inside I
Protested
That this was something
I took to bed one night
And decided to make it all
Your fault
I guess this wasn’t the
Best thing to do
Playing my cards
And breaking you
Am I over it yet
Or have you just
Raised a...
