Another year,Another reason to be thankful,With a tank full of ink to drown away what's fatal.Five months without any smoke,Five years without liquor on a table,Full of books and a bible I discovered wasn't a fable… Just the kind of guide I needed,To suffice my need for a brighter day and a way to fight...

Questions Or Excuses – Day 91, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So many questions,So many questions… If you really found Jesus,Then,Why are you still bewitched by sins that still leave you,Breathless?… Isn't He supposed to fill you with,An abundance of love enough to,Squander the plans of He who rules this world of deception? When?Are you supposed to accept God's blessing,Of stillness you are destined for,After opening... Continue Reading →
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...

Some Accidents Aren’t Accidental – day 82, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Never did I think that I'd become too busy to dwell inside of my room to write a poem and post it on time, but here we are. My apologies for seeming as if I've been taking days off. After recovering from what could've been a tragedy a few months back, I've been filling up... Continue Reading →
Decaying Gray Doors – Day 71, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In progress)
Havana nights,On my mind,Like,Never before.But,I'm at a mic,With a line,Multiplied!So,That I can weather any storm.And…Reign over the eye,Keeping watch of my every move,Looking for the right opportunity to strike!Until I'm consumed by its inevitable pour… Blessed am I,To have cleared a sky,Pervaded by,Scrutinizing clouds blocking my view from a horizon,Revealing such tantalizing beauty,Anyone would fall...

Cake Crumbs – Day 66, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Crumbs.At least,Mine are bigger than what birds tend to eat.Being angry is a choice,But,It's a choice I don't have to make while I still have the blessing to breathe.And,It's not all about perspective.It's about,Acknowledging what I have in front of what I invest in,The plate feeding into a character with ego making a mess of,A...

Taking A Walk – Day 48, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Walking endlessly for miles on end,Is all I can do as a man,Lost in thought,Without anyone I can call a friend.I've never been an athlete,Nor had any patience to learn how to dance,Each,Moment I've had in my life was spent pondering life's mysteries,While taking a stroll down a street where I felt like road kill…...

Once Married, Now Divorced – Day 34, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Stirring the pot,Was a burial plot,While I was smoking a lot,Of what I never needed in a life full of murkier spots,I've been busy trying to make a painting out of,Instead of choosing to rot,Inside of a self-made prison created by dirtier thoughts,Washing away with every tear that I drop,In good faith… I know I...

A Sober Entry #1 – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I pray everything has been well with everyone out there. Had to take a second out of my day and pour my thoughts onto a waterproof page. Finally, over three months off of weed smoke and it feels so good! But, lately, I've been having consecutive dreams where I would come across a pack or... Continue Reading →
No More Scotch In The Mist – Day 19, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Rain.It'll flood the scene regardless of pace.Whether it's cats and dogs or a scotch mist,If it doesn't stop in a matter of time,You will drown and be embalmed in,The minds of others by fluids only harvested when one is teary-eyed,And,Never will the thought be a drop-dead image for,Anyone seeking a sight for sore eyes when,They're...
