The Dragon's smile.So sly and confounding.Is it a grin?Or,Is it preparing itself for a blast of fire,Seeking to char the momentum of joy you refuse to slow down?Setting ablaze each festivity had celebrating life and,Every way you continue to grasp it.Is it contentment with its flaming eyes,Or,Pandemonium designed to melt away the glass home where...

Freedom From Love Broken – Day 84, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Freedom,Is what you gave me by leaving,Regardless of how wrong it was to hurt you.Your departure gave my life more meaning,More than the moment you said,"I love you…"As I was left to work through,My vices.All alone,Within a glass home shattering above me,By the vibrations of your silence… Here I am,Now sober at the end of...

Pixelated Elegance – Day 72, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Her memory is blurried whenever I try to remember her glowing cheeks rising upward.Yet,I remember how detached she was from the Tornado of worry swooping everyone struck by storms of deceit,Plastered on every television screen… Such beauty my mind,Eyes,Can only pixelate underneath Her cowgirl hat as she flew by past me.Bringing my daily ramble to...

A Banshee’s Cry – Day 65, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Noise…Noise!Noise I do not have a choice to tune out,Peevades my atmosphere as I grow more annoyed,Annoyed,And annoyed… If it's War they want,Then War I shall not shy away from!So what if they're fueled by the thought of my defeat?With a drive where God grabs hold of a wheel steered for me,Why would I ever...

Love In Our Naked Eye – Day 63, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Being aroused is a feeling I don't want to feel any longer,Unless I'm with the love of my life,Whoever that may be.Happily married.Underneath a canopy of warmth,Devotion and endearment built by our need to look each other in our naked eyes and say,I love you.Sexual inclinations,To me,Mean nothing if you're not with the lover of...

Why Should I? – Day 43, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
"Get up!"My mind yells yet,Can't find the motivation to rise fast enough.I don't know why,Nor do I care to find out.I'm exhausted from trying to find a reason to move forward.I just…Want to jump to my feet,And,Wash my face without contemplating why I'm even awake,Asking myself If I'll ever be happy again or,If I'll ever...

The Poison Fountain – Day 33, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Today's piece is more of a statement than prose or a poem. There aren't many rhythms I can think of this very moment. All I can think of is escaping from a family that has lost its mind in ways I never thought would happen growing up as a lonely kid in the South Bronx.... Continue Reading →
Steak Nuggets! – Day 29, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A steak fry is still a fry.A steak nugget is still a piece of steak.Never will it matter how they're both dressed on a plate,Cracked and soon to break.From it's weight.More than your aching stomach's meant to handle,While you laugh at the possibility of blacking out and,Falling on your face.Stuff your mouth all you want,Not...

A Three-Piece I’m Not Hungry For – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Ties,Ties,Ties!They just don't suit me right.Feels more like,A noose choking to death,The kind of tranquil man I yearn to become in a world ran by financial success and duress,And…A suit is not part of who I am,Nor ever will it be for as long as I hold a journal and a pen… It's the only...

Can I Ever Be Forgiven? – Day 25, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So many mistakes.Only one to blame.The man I'm forced to see in the mirror,Every.Single.Day… Will I ever make it out of this hole,Will I ever fully change?From,A frown that feels permanent,To,An everlasting smile on my face?
