That sheen gleaming off of blood,Dripping from my bleeding wounds is enough,To refrain from insulting anyone.My pain is not an excuse,To demean a human soul who hurts the same way I do.Regardless of what you say,There's nothing that will stop me from loving you! I understand how we all make mistakes,So,Who am I to defile... Continue Reading →
Dante’s Eiffel – Day 250, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Rowing past the Eiffel Tower is what I did every morning for the last nine years of my life.King of like my own version of Dante's Inferno while I sit back witnessing evil my eyes,Didn't want to believe as I dreamed of a different life.Where I wasn't floating in circles,Down a rabbit hole full of...

Half Of What I Am – Day 239, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (Finished)
Memorial Day's upon us,And,All I can think about is the last time I received 'time and a half'.Nothing else to expect,Besides a job where my heart's split right down its middle.One side in front of a microphone at an open mic,The other in back of a desk where I sit back,And,Force myself to write.But,Regardless of...

A Half-Empty Life – Day 230, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sadness.Sadness is that half-empty glass of water giving life to a waning heart dry of all kinds of love spoken.That half-empty glass of water you'll never choke on regardless of how it's poured in.Into an esophagus sore from crying for hours on end,With bulging eyes getting too tired to open.And,I know it all too well.Because,Because,I'm...

A Night of Wonder (For GPC Ent.) – Day 189, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Ankles and wrists interwoven by the beat their hearts sing aloud.Every ounce of sadness melted away by their sizzling looks that would astound any crowd,Full of eyes seeking art how ever they choose to see it.For me it's,Poetry in motion how they flowed,In sync,Without missing a step while I took the chance to breathe in,Breathe...

Godzilla’s Been Moody – Day 184, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Past,Present,Future!Just,Godzilla in a different costume.Beasts to be feared depending on the occasion.But,Nowadays,I'm not afraid of either.What were once a malevolent force in my mind,Are now humps in memory I stroll past,Benign,Left behind...What does it mean to look ahead,Stay in the moment,Think about what happened several years back when,I can just be what I was intended...

Pictures Of Old – Day 183, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Maybe,I'm still scarred because of the way you left me.How stone-faced you were in sight of my tears.How happy you were to tell me,"I don't love you anymore,"While I was shattering into pieces right in front of you.Maybe,That's why I mistreat a body I'd rather not be inside of on most days.Because of your delight...

If Only I Was Hers – Day 155, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Her beauty…So,Unreal,Surreal.Whenever she bats her eyes,It's as if,Joy glimmers into mine,While my mind reels.Going through painted memories,Highlight reels I create picturing how it would be like,If,Our fingers intertwined,And,Peeled away each wall where our mysteries lie… Such beauty I wouldn't dare to undress.Because,Seductive she is not.She's more like,The stars glittering throughout A night sky infusing my...

Sweet Sounds Of Russian Roulette – Day 133, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Memories pop into mind like,A game of Russian Roulette.Each one,Anxiety-ridden.Sweat beads down my forehead at every turn of events.Never do I know which one will coerce me to pull the trigger,But,I figured,It's a risk that must be taken.What other thrill do I have besides,Going through a photobook imprinted in my mind,As I pick at every...

Lost Love In The Same Sea – Day 127, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
She fell in love with a Wanderer,Never knowing where he'd end up next.Confused by every step he'd take,She'd brace herself each time her cellphone rang,Anticipating the worst news possible.But,For as long as her mind allowed her to remember,His voice pushed soundwaves into her eardrums as soothing as chilly breeze on a hot,Summer day."I'm in front...
