I hate that word
I hate that label
I'm not borderline
I'm perfectly able

******* college
I'm an abundance of knowledge

Little craves
 Jan 2015 rjr
Maura
I crave that deep sleep
or that deep awake
but the the kind of awake
where your mind is asleep

I crave a sense of peace
or a sense of inspiration
but the kind of peace
where were your mind
wanders through your imagination

I crave a great embrace
or just a soft hug
but the kind of embrace
that works like a drug

I crave a spiritual wake
or just a nudge from God
but the kind of wake
that'll heal my heartache

I crave oh how I crave
for God's grace to save

The tea

I can't even feel
my legs moving
anymore.

A Toast to 2015

I popped 2015 in the toaster
and said,
"don't burn"

"but be beautifully crunchy
& a little burnt around the edges"
:)
I love toast, toasting, and hopefully 2015

Tap

Tap
tap*  tap  tap...

say my hands that rhythmically drum the tables surface
goes my foot as I anxiously wait
sounds from my pen as it bumps a blank paper

tap  tap  tap...

are my fingers that dance on black and white keys
to my sister's door late at night
are the chimes of a spoon against a champagne glass

tap  tap  tap...

on the backspace of the keyboard, withholding
nervously on the shoulder, seeking attention
on the chest, pointing to the heart.

tap  tap  tap...
The many meanings of a tap.

The Star Room
How do I do poetry?
Make it sound all pretty and witty
Poetry isn't even my thing
Being charismatic and dapper with your words definitely is important, hell, look at Martin Luther King
These rhymes are pathetic
Reading this is sure to make many frenetic
In case you did not know that means agitated
I may as well give up, this rhyme was not calibrated
I am simply just rambling, using this as an escape I guess
I'm a mess, but I'm trying to progress and impress, not you but me
So ill float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
Man I just stole that from Muhammad Ali
Ill be back, this ******.

How can life
be absolutely everything,
yet white nothingness?
I love flying planes!
