My ink runs deeper than paper.
It runs on my skin and heart.. mapping my character
and giving me my art.

People stare at my ink, on paper and skin..
casting judgement of both now and again.

Each day I long for something I can't figure out
I search and search, but am filled with doubt
I look a little closer, listen a little carefully
But nothing is there.
My chest caves in,
At the thought of trying again.
I look outside, and lose myself in thought
My eyes open, ears listening, waiting.
Hours, days, months passed
Nothing.
I waited all this time and I still have no answer
I was tired of waiting, tired of trying, so I stopped searching.
I no longer long for what I am missing
For the answer was always right in front of me
but something

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean—
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
1680

Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few—love at all.

Spotify I love you
Thanks for all the great music

Sometimes it is hard
Life can be so lonely

At least I have my music
Anyone care to chat on Skype or AIM?
Message me and we can exchange contact info

Lol people who write poems are awesome
It's hard to be a human being sometimes
The loneliness is what is difficult for me

Just keep trying to do what is right
Show the light inside of yourself

Sometimes the world can be cruel
It's okay, just persevere

I spent the day by myself
At the gym

Not employed right now
Then I walked a bit down the street
Cried some
Held this cross necklace I have

Well
I've seen some times now
I'm almost 30

I've studied history and philosophy
Read many great minds

It's quite a thing to be a human being
Don't give up
Don't give up
On your dreams

I grew up with hate
Tried to push me down

It's love that will overcome
Love
I am the keeper
I keep the days and the times
