Hidden

Vulnerability has captured me-

I have danced in these shoes before

expressing what it is hidden

I must dance around this room

revealing secrets in every corner

reveling in this sweet mystery of depth

The Joneses.

You think you can keep up?
I bet you can't.
You will try though, of course.
You will try really, really hard.
But you will always be running.
Running, running, running.
Before you know it--
you have missed out.
On what you ask?
Why the little, simple things.
You were too busy--
watching everyone else.
Oh, but you sure did keep up!
--or atleast you thought you did.
But you see, in the end--
you were really quite far behind.
The real beauty you could of experienced--
was lost during the race.
So I ask you, do you want to run forever?

blood diamond

she screams with excitement
the ring placed upon her finger
her beloved diamond
tis beautiful in sight::


he screams from torment
the machete upon his wrists
a beloved child
couldn't put up a fight::

back to the basics::my haiku

i look at the trees
they are beautiful in sight
their leaves fall on me

to emily dickinson

The elegance of your thoughts
Poetry::seamless writings
A rare art--
from your eloquent heart
Fixed upon your fingertips--
are words of liberation

lukewarm

this shoe fits
i am ashamed to say
my heart is bitter
--everyday


why must i look at this world--
and see glamour?


how do i miss--
the ugliness?
this world is corrupt


i must look at the eternal
not the temporary

earthquake.

you stand still
beloved child of perplexity-


everything trembles
buildings are diminshing-
but you, you stand still


this world is falling
falling
falling::


what is left is nothing-
that can cure this soul


you turn to the smokey clouds
anxiety leaves your placid body
you see Him::


peace has overwhelmed you
