Pasts Rain (In Spirit We Are Free)

We roam through this world
Weary pawed and bleary eyed
Pushing forever forward
Hiding sorrow felt inside

They move on as we move forward
Past the spirit realm
They stand one final time
And smile where they dwell

Then they disappear from all
But deepest memories
We cry as they fade away
In spirit they are free

We can't move our paws again
Not in this sorrow made of rain
For we know that once it clears
None remain the same

Because it's difficult on the day
To see beyond the sorrow
May looking back in memory
Help comfort us tomorrow

And in this labyrinth

What Is Left of Me

What Is Left of Me I went away for a while, let the world pull me in Let the job and pay and repetitive days fill a void The problem I found was I forgot what it was, what was this void that needed filling? Walk down the aisle, climb the ladder, grab the box and repeat, what is this void? Clock in for lunch clock back in then out for the day, what is this void I say? This void is me. The void is what happened when I forgot how to be creative When I stopped being able to take risks When I became so comfortable with what I was doing I forgot what I am. I'm a person. A poet. A weight lifter. I have let myself fall into a routine that

the ghost

I don't know what I'm waiting for, because I am a ghost and yet I sit on my hands and wonder where you've been - I walk the forest in circles, the methodical crunch of leaves beneath my feet and I remember that you made me feel small, and alone. here I am, facing this brilliant hue that is me and myself and I am the ghost but somehow you are haunting me.

Absence

there is snow all around and we have invited you in but silence falls like night and the winds carry no sound I remember; it was by the river when you carried me on your shoulders I covered your eyes with my hands and there was laughter It was in the woods, I remember you taught me to ski it was getting dark already and there was still a long way to go and yet there was no rush and we talked about the stars I remember; It was by the sea already after everything changed on a cold day still full of joy when we were all brought together; there were few words, even then but we could still see the shine and the pride in your eyes as I took h

self worth

Wanting for nothing this budding rose ready to wilt along the stripped creek. She's an arm's length away, her taint some exposed cove braving the sea carved against the grain of turning oceans.

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

Literature

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

nailed to the counter

fivey eyed the barn door, her right forearm tingled with a quite familiar burn, it informed her tone: "you nannys ain't dealin' proper. i had hoped this would stay above-board, but if you wanna wake snakes, let's frolic!" her right arm shot out, glowing energy pulled three armed men through splintering wood; the barn creaked and the men screamed as their bodies were dragged across the dirt before being launched out the far wall. fivey stomped her left foot; the two shotguns trained on her slithered, hissed, and— with both barrels— bit the two closest men in their necks. her right foot slid behind her in a perfect half-circle,

Where Nothing Dares Settle

we assume the fish that appears to advance without moving does so, effortlessly; as if the sea itself merely wills them forward we long to swim like this to hold our position in the universe while the earth churns its oceans past, as if its motion were ours and perhaps it might be if we could only comprehend how much lag truly resides in the linkage between space and time, then we'd know water like it knows us our ins and outs and the low places where nothing dares settle for long we'd know why sleep evades when we're most spent, as memories older than our own activate, once we traverse a certain set proximity

Literature

Sound Carries Near a Salt Flat

the noise of a dying man is that of a humpack whale reverberating across the desert thermocline, tunneling between the dune and the horizon. he whines, low, not loud, but it surrounds us; ocean pressure straining at the sides of a submerging ship. the harpoon head of the frag bomb burns in his leg - flesh irreparably breached - as that groaning calls navigation signs to some unknown counterpart far across the sand. I can swear to you he will be gone in forty-eight hours from the sepsis if medical can't make it to this fucking shelled-out excuse for a town by tomorrow evening. I give a sedative still, his cries carry like those son

This piece...just wow I'm pretty sure that's the first time in a long while I've cried while making a poem... this one just hit me HARD...

This piece was inspired by

she's a great artist and a wonderful person go look at her gallery it's full of spirit.

The artwork that I used to inspire me was
"Sorrow in Rain" [link] and the song I used to help inspire me was the same one she used to help inspire her piece it's called "Ow" by Stephan Moccio you can find it here [link]

As a side note this would have been the first DA original poem I put up but it got caught up in limbo for a bit. Also the title is homage to her and the group she started that's really helped me step forward as a person and an artist.
