Before I with dance in the studio 
Before I wave from the plane
Before I place the plate on the table
Before I name the pet dog
Before I train at the gym



From the end of the trip
To the moment it sit
Nervous shrinkage
Before I wave from the plane

Poem

Darkness cannot drive out darkness


Headlights non visible 
Traffic light blinding the blind 
Darkness cannot drive out darkness
Plain concrete 
Sorrow and guilt curled
Bending eye lids towards the jury
Need a bead
Darkness cannot drive out darkness
Swallow my pride 
Internal bleed
Note the fall for moral greed 

A place of profit
A place of despair
A place of law
A place of crime
A place of numbness
A place of tears
A place of a lost key
A place of hidden lives
A place of wilderness
A place of rage within a cage
A place of

The Blank Set

The Blank Set

Eyes drawn to the sea floor mirage

Ironed canvas, where waves coexist 

From whom- covered from the light and the dark

Linear passage secured,

within each thread.

Flexible olympian creating a silhouette 

Extra pair of layers 

Extra sheer of prayers

Extra less of layers 

The shy layer is comfortable between the layer

As gravities layer, lay her, for labor 

A battlefield
A rest position 

But that's only for later. 

Kinetic rise from the heat

We are the ink to the sheet

The more of aged, the more are fazed

Desire to Entwine-Hide.
Ruminate-Seek.

All cast away from time 

Time from ourselves, time for her.

Testify

Make A Way Again

Remainder of my roots bled dry
I have fallen, hung from the Babylon
Generally looked at from how they tell a vision
How we see colors, once ashamed of mine
Too afraid to stand up while sitting on a lie.

Enormous caution, be aware of the stunt of your growth
Obsolete when the high lowered after the twenty eighth
Unanimous vote, when I'm chosen for eternity
Selfless thought, eyes open questioning your stars.

Stolen for entertainment, pieces thrown on a board
Law cracking down, they wouldn't mind if we cracked out
A striped logo internally stripping of innocence
Venting how beautiful love can be in it's existence
Enamored by her spirit, lets jump the broom.

         Freedom from the ashes
Rebellion.
        Escaping the armor showing there are more
Empathy.
        Description of the proud and the few

One Word

One Word

Sitting native 
along  a way to find

Feel the air bend 

Hear the planet lend
Guidance

Am I loosing my mind

Or
 is it finally free

Coincidence..

Drowning in soil

Circulating the flow
 Nothing mere worth 
Eyes closed

Looking in the mirror 

They told me not to

Am I ashamed

Describe anything in one word

Took me a lifetime to understand

Hope I don't lose it again

The dream girl 

To you, and not another
From me, and not a bother
From a gaze
How my world has shrunken
Into a low rise of days
Slow ticks from a digital
Im missing you,

To you, and not another
From me, and not a bother
Can't wake up without a memory
The voice, the touch, the sense
Now a distant memory
The eyes, the smile, the mind
Now a distant memory
Im missing you,

To you, and not another
From me, and not a bother
Walking side by side
Alone
Grips from our fingers interlock
Alone
Reservation for two,
through the drive through
Alone
Im missing you.


P.s: I just woke up

20 Things I Did

I woke up early.
I wore a red shirt.
I parked in a handicap spot.
I left my television on.
I went food shopping.
I went to the gym.
I high fived a random person.
I colored a photo.
I prayed.
I took notes in class.
I did my homework early.
I changed my shoes mid day.
I ironed my shirt.
I fed a cat.
I ordered Chinese food.
I didn't tip.
I clocked into work.
I climbed a ladder.
I carried a bag of rice.
I went to sleep.

When I'm Old

Michael Holding

When I'm old and mankey,
I'll never use a hanky.
I'll wee on plants
and soil my pants
and sometimes get quite cranky.

Revise

When were spoiled and grounded,

I'll always use a towel.
we wipe on sand
and burn my laces
and usually cause minnable cranky.

Explanation: As I was writing the poem, it came pretty natural. Was not overthinking, just came organically. Creativity was presented in the the making. The truth is always between the lines, out of the box, and always in front of you. Takes patience to see.
It was chosen randomly and just flowed as I proceeded.
This assignment was expressive.

He was drinking

As the brim of the holder flowed such as a 

sea 

He, believed from his dry tone, down, 

it must be

He was drinking.

As the moonlight brightened

it was obvious 

He, believed right then. 

He was drinking.

No, it cant be, No, it will not be

He was drinking.

How can this be 

reality

He was drinking.

The cross on his chest 

fried

Eyes burning from its 

clove

He was drinking.

Where shall he 

go

What is called 

home...

He was drinking. 

Metaphors 
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.
—from Sylvia Plath’s The Collected Poems (Harper Perennial, 2008)

Redo

Metaphors 
I'm a swoosh in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ohhhhh house,
A melon la lala lala on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine ahhhhhh!
This loaf's big with its yeasty zip.
Money's new-minted in this blahhh purse.
I'm a means, a thud, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of crunchy apples,
Boarded the train there's no plop off.
—from Sylvia Plath’s The Collected Poems (Harper Perennial, 2008)
