Freeverse

Just some freeverse I did last night. Love this style of writing despite it's lack of an overall direction. It is amazing to see where the mind goes.

mama don't like the big dreams
too complicated with hero fantasies and poetic verse
the plan is success before the hearse
but let me be clear i'll never accept life as a curse
never sweating over small things like cash or sleek clothes
he was a prophet, offered riches, and rose
above it all
tell my child to stand tall
is faith strengthened by a gold cross?
or does the power lie in the mind
can't answer
there are things in life that will not be defined
and there are things unwritten
no matter
thoughts will turn into action, with time.
so my dreams stay just out of reach
but still yet, they are there to teach
this is what I want
this is what you want
all just success in this mess
and I don't turn on AMC to see the walking dead
one just heads down to the heart of my city
to see the faded heartbeat of those who just couldn't make it
the thing about the grumble of a belly?
you can't fake it.

Goodbye Summer

I wake up beside you and I can see my breath
Scrambling in the dark, my feet cold against the hardwood floor.
The room has a feel as if something happened, magic or just passion exploding over the top.
Bubbling over and cracking like fire crackers
We met, eyes met, bodies collided
The city burnt itself alive with lovemaking
And now the winter winds have set in.
Say goodbye to summertime
Hello fall
Hold me in these trying times.

Twirling Records Excerpt

And so he felt that familiar ghost wound of the last heartbreak seeping itself into his careful statements.

"I love you" was less a string of words, more a date with destiny. He would stand at that cliff edge and say those words and possible destroy himself.

"Salvation is never easy" he reminded himself. With that, he wrapped his arms around the only living breathing thing for miles in the dead world. The dead world..he plunged into the abyss. For fate or death, or was fate death?

This is how I feel, how I feel about you..
