"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Fluorescent lights radiating off of joints I don't desire,No longer illuminate the darkness surrounding me.Regardless of its tip providing a certain direction while engulfed in flames.I'd rather wander aimlessly,Instead of walking towards a cliff I couldn't climb back up from.How pleasant it would be to know exactly where I'm headed towards,But,What does it matter if...

Peaceful,The city is when it's empty of people.Words can't describe how gorgeous It is while walking through its wind tunnels of silence.Its beauty outweighing how ugly the entire world can be.How putrid the stench of everyone's breath when intoxicated by their own falsified glory.Every heart calcified by disasters that could've been avoided by caring more...

In love with a ghost of a woman I don't miss.A silhouette without a face I refuse to recognize.Why?Do I do this to myself when I'd rather be by,Myself.Floating through a jazzy city where my mind keeps roaming through,All kinds of tunes,So that I can finetune,Thoughts replaying the same old songs I've grown tired of.It's...

"Why can't you just take a compliment?"I was asked by a humble man,As I was disinfecting the halls of his offices.Little did he know I had more guilt crawling up my esophagus,Than truth I should've accounted for before sticking my chest out for all to marvel at.But,I understood his sentiments,As I lowered my rag from...

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...

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...

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 →
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 →
Cleaning up an act upstaging each demon on your shoulder,Is a war not everyone is built for,As it takes a different kind of strength to keep living life sober.I mean,Look around you!Why wouldn't you want a drink with what's happening all over?… Presidents who were not designed to lose.Orchestrated tragedies to blind us from the...

What's hidden in plain sight,Will come to light,When most begin to read in between every line within this playwright called,Life.All my time,Is now dedicated to the raw might of faith,A pen and piece of paper for every night I've grown tired of wasting.Why?… I mean,Why get closer to the one enclosure below us where,Endless souls...
