A loner who rose from the ashes against all odds.A man who lived a destitute life.Yet,A Pulitzer prize winner for poetry you will only witness once in a lifetime.A man who nobody likes,But,Never gave a fuck with a smile!While doing his best to put a tear of joy within every set of dry eyes he...

Clearing The Cloudz – Day 165, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Clouds are white.The sky appears to be blue.The concrete?A hard fall.But,What can we do,Other than endure?No matter what happens,There only seems to be two choices:Either get up,Or,Give up.Most days I feel like giving up,But,That would be too easy.It's too easy to lay on a corner,Slumped by the world's atrocities including your own,While high on the...

Sand In Your Eyes – Day 163, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Wind blows by as loud as engines roar on a breezySpring night.Footsteps pound concrete like,Emptied Corona bottles falling on to a ground where roses refuse to grow,Where grass often dies.Palms sway back and forth,Back and forth,Holding on to each other as loose as we close our eyes,When we're forced to hear each other's outcry.Around here,No...

Where’s The Snowmen? – Day 150, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A fresh coat of snow can't wash away the dirty pile underneath.A filthy mound of what used to be,Turned into ice now melting away,Seeping into the porous concrete.Sewers and subway vents.Soil we often forget to care for in a city too busy to think twice about its own actions… Still.Youthful souls are allowed to roam...

Holding Hands With A Ghost – Day 120, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blood,And,Wet lips full of sugar?Are immiscible without an emulsifier found in,Tears trickling down your cheeks while laying down,Dead inside,Confounded.Puzzled by a con you've found in a pit of darkness.Love,Vampiric in nature is nothing,But,A spectral sending chills through your bleeding vessel with each touch,As subtle as it is.Once it's unbuckled from a kiss,You're left panting,Exasperated by...

Testimony Of Victory – Day 96, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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... Continue Reading →
Apple Bottoms – Day 75, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Apple bottoms come at a price.Take a bite,And,They might just be the 'spitter' you weren't looking for.They may be as bitter as you've been with taste buds expecting something sweet.But,How will we ever know unless we go for the unknown?What if you come across an apple falling far from a tree,Rolling right next to your...

Withered Rose, Day 44, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Withering cries tunnel through a path blocked by a vortex of hateful words.If you try passing it by,You will get swallowed,Spiraling out of control until you land on a patch of loveless dirt.Dirt where every sprouting seed dies before reaching its exit… Is death the only option?Is there any point in turning back to any...

Faith In Who Reigns As King Forever – Day 39, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blood.Water.Neither is more important then thy father,Even if you don't believe in His existence.It's not a matter of opinion,With enough evidence surrounding us in a world getting darker by the second… Don't know about you,But,I find myself alone in the flesh.Canopied by a storm of lies anytime I try to sleep on a bed.Soaked by... Continue Reading →
Black Tulipz – Day 31, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A convex of emotions are laid on an empty piece of paper hoping it will flower,Some day.One can only pray for change to blossom throughout every season the of the year.Why stay the same,For what purpose?Not a single lick of sense it makes as much as flipping the page over.Pages in a story written by...
