Love.Hardly shown until you're at the precipice of death.Whether it's your rotting flesh,Or,A dream you've decided to put to rest.Yet,The absence of affection is necessary for growth.When a tree grows,Some time is spent away from its presence until the leaves cry for water to overflow,What keeps them standing in place.Connected roots extending on their own,While...

Forgot To Do My Laundry – Day 310, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Redressing my wrong doings in a fashion I'm confortable with is not what my focus should be.I can change my jacket all I want,But,It won't stop me from getting soaked in pouring rain,As acidic as each tear dropping from my cheeks,Flushed by bad calls all of us make once in a while.I'd rather wear the...

Forgive Me, Grandma – Day 280, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Hi,Grandma!It's your grandson checking in.Lately,I haven't had many people I can speak to while I keep steady with,A palm shaking as I write poem,After poem,While my mind goes blank worrying for the readiness,I must prepare for when heading into a room full of people I don't want to see.Forgive me,But,That includes the family you've built.I...

The Shut-Eye Of The Storm – Day 278, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Romance died the moment self-love was introduced.Never heard of it once as a young gun possessing a mind fully loaded with an itch to shoot,Off from a mouth as dicey as a gamble,Full of loot we bounce wall to wall for.The drive we wake up with is driven off course,For what we can gain to...

Hollow Cities – Day 268, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Parading around in a mask is what most of us do year round.While some say,"I began watching to feel some excitement!"The rest,A select few,Refused to masquerade in a lie meant,To distract us from a truth most blissfully ignore.The artificial love along comradery fading away as fast as a dark cloud gliding through a sky raining...

Baptismal Love – Day 257, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So much talk about a sweep,But,Not the kind you'd expect as reality gets swept under the rug.Mad is sin,Running rampant in the hearts of those who mob before accounting for actions buried under dust,Swiped away when it's too late in the spur of the moment.But,Maybe,The hard road is necessary for some.Because,No matter how often you...

Oh, Silent Night. – Day 191, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Stormy Songs – Day 146, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Stormy nights call for a song to be sung,From the deepest parts of your bowel,About all that is foul,In a life where the crows scowl,At every smile you glitter towards a night sky empty of stars… Ask youself.What reigns over your mind at the sound of thunder?Is it all who plunder your joy for a...

Snowfall. – Day 122, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Snowfall.A canopy for the ugliness I don't want to see.An awning for the tragedies in store as rain pours,And,Pours.From each corner of my eyes with a shovel in hand as I course,Through a path slippery before,Each pound of ice is ever crystalized,By,Such a wintry world.A world where souls are solidified by windchills below zero when,Exhaled...

An Odd Bawl – Day 81, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
An oddball,Thrown against a wall often.Forced to feel the cracks,Until my skin was pried open.But,Every scar you see is a painting made by God,For you to witness and be inspired,By pain we all suffer regardless if we desire to,Or not… I'm okay with that,I accept it.As you should as well,Instead of,Leaning over wishing wells,Throwing pennies...
