Call to Home

I've never really felt quite at home
Been looking for a place that feels right
Roamin streets, hoping one calls my name
Around the world and no place to settle
Always feeling like another step will get me there
Lookin in the mirror and I can't...

Who Am I?

Who am I?
I ask myself every time I sit down and strike the page with my pen.
Who am I?
What traits do I exhibit that are worthy of pages of poetry?
Who am I?
Which emotions do I have that can be regurgitated into stanzas?
Who am I
To...

Ice Sculpture

I am a sculpture made of Ice.
I crack and shatter, fall apart and start to melt.
So I distance myself from others,
Become cold to rebuild myself.
I look strong on the outside,
Sleek, marbley ice, like stone.
But deep inside, I’m filled with...

Distance

I’ll take a picture with my eyes, and keep it in my heart.
That way, we will never be apart.

I will sing a song with my voice, with power in my chest.
I will try my hardest, but it may not be the best.

I will hear your poetry with my ear, it...

In the trees

In the trees, I find a dark forest,
To the evils I’m an unwanted tourist.
The monsters pounce and attack, but I am brave.
I hold my blade high and send them to their grave.

In the trees I find a joyous grotto,
A man sits beneath a tree and...

I Will Never Surrender

Oh to be a bird so high in the skies,
Free from the conflict and terrible lies.
The suffocating sadness is torn away
As I fly from sea to sea, dusk till day.
Flying so fast it clears my mind,
Up here it’s so much easier to see the sun shine.

Boat on the Ocean

I am a boat on the ocean,
Stuck on the waves of life without a location.
Broken compass, broken sails
Being laughed at by the whales.
The storm beats me everyday,
I can live but only if I find my way.
How do I navigate out of this storm?
I...

Far From Flame

Passion hot, stomach churning,
I am strong when the fire’s burning,
Burn the ships, the fire’s twirling,
Burn it all, my plan’s unfurling,
Strike a match, stoke the flame,
I’ll no longer play this game,
Fire’s good, fire’s bad,
It makes me...

What ever after

Whatever happens after the year ends,
I know we will always remain friends.
You were there through it all,
And I was always ready to catch your fall.
A bond like ours could never be broken,
Whether by action or foul word spoken.
And after it...

Beautiful Flower

We are all flowers.
Seeds that grow and bloom, showing beautiful colors.
Nothingness turned into greatness.
Unlike a flower, we choose our colors.
Roses are red, violets are blue, but you?
You are you.
So be you and be a flower, because the...

Love Will Prevail

Violent war is
A terrible thing.
Something that needs to happen
Is Love.

The death of humans is
Unnecessary and Pointless.
Essential
Things, Care and Passion are.

Not for any set reason,
I want to give everything I am to, not
Just for...

Love Of War

Violent war is
Something that needs to happen.

The death of humans is
Essential.

Not for any set reason
Just for my own enjoyment.

I smile in glee
When the bombs are dropped and the fires rage.

I have a fluttery feeling in my stomach...

War On Love

A terrible thing
Is Love.

Unnecessary and Pointless
Things, Care and Passion are.

I want to give everything I am to not
Change how things are.

Love is eternal but
It’s always causing pain.

When someone loves me truly
I want to...
