Bridges
I stitched the fragments of my shattered heart
Living too fast I forgot to be careful
Too much for me , you were a handful
Now i’m left to walk from the start
I lost some of me when we split apart
The days and the nights were dreadful
My eyes were tearful, my heart fearful.
Now I am bound to restart.
Our burned bridges

The heart of a lion
Blazing rage carries the lion
Through the storm of the jungle
For he fears none and
Carries himself with dignity
Until his last breath
And even with his last breath drawn
He knows no defeat...

No Title
Those that can glimmer
Without the materialistic
Are the most beautiful of are
Those that shine
Just with just their smile
Are the most genuine
Do not break those people
With unreachable societally standards
-Those who stand out
Like valleys and streams
Your eyes flow with water
The hurt is evident
Yet you hide behind a mas...

Running
Through the rocks and gravel
The sand, and concrete
Through the rain and blizzards
I run
I run and I run and I run
Not because I’m scared
Not because i’m searching
But I know if I ever stopped running
I’d be standing in the midst of the world
Alone...

Like a star you shine bright
Bewildered by the world
That forces you
To put things into perspective
That things hurt,
And people change
But like a star you endure
The harsh coldness of space
And face reality everyday
Even if you might want to escape
And just like the streams
That flow throughout this world
You glisten with a beautiful glow
Even when people try to...

Unmeasurable
Distance and time are unmeasurable
I can’t count the steps it took
To get to you
And I forget the time it took
To know your heart
All I know is that in the freezing cold
You are my warmth
And in the restless heat
You are my shade
The only thing i can truly measure
Is my love for you
~ a boy madly in love...

Don't drop me
In the waking of the chilling night
I look into myself
To find the scattered shards
Of me
I let the wind sway me side to side
Riding the thrashing waves
Waiting for help
Then came you
The wings of Icarus
You lifted me up
Just to crash me back down....

And as I kissed her lips
I tasted a fresh diviness that lacked the follicles
That has impacted the world.
And for a second I could see a future
That laid bear a ripe and bewildering path
Where I may walk and speak my truth
And it wouldn’t just be an utterance
That spread through the ether like
A poisonous gas which journey only lay to hurt
A sparkl...
