On these pages I have poured out the dark inner me, the sides of me that I rarely see, but definately feel. I like to write, and most of these that I have written were from the times when I've had the most struggles of my inner emotions, and when I felt very strongly on a certain event of my life. Within these words, my soul has been captured somewhat for others to see. The best thing about literature is that the words are of the same, but depending on the individual, these same words hold different themes and emotional signatures. So needless to say, my feelings drawn for these pieces may be very different from what you may gather. Regardless, I hope that you enjoy them. I have not included within these pages the intent I had in writing each piece, but after you read them and would like to know what I was going through or what the intentions of me writing the poems were, simply click on the "my notes" text, and it'll just pop up. Enjoy.

Terminal

Embarcation trailed into memories,
destination still unknown,
layover yet undetermined.

The limbo I am suspended within lures
the helpless insanity within me.
Look up to the screen.
Traces of my origin left only within my thoughts,
no longer on screen, and as I look at the destination,
a vague shadow of white on black.

Slumped in my seat, baggage between my feet,
lost and confused.
Waiting for information that won't walk to me
and conscious of this, I yet sit with my head
buried in my lap, waiting for an answer.

Looked out the plane a few hours back,
all the anticipation, all the new chapters to arise
left my heart racing for the lights with hope.

Jerked into reality, I can only wait.
Afraid to disturb the ebb of society, all I do is sit,
baggage in hand, legs tensed for the next movement.

I get up and walk to
fly my own destination

I don't need to be told where my destination is to take me
it's about time I flew my own plane.

Smiles

I glance at your smiles,
see the weeping underneath,
your past unwinds.

Beneath that glitter,
concealed by the radiance,
struggle seek refuge.
Can't tell where they're from,
but it's there because defiantly
it pierces through the translucence
for guidance.

I know where it's headed.
Tear ridden eyes
cast within your depth of black.
pain churns the anger,
in turn lures the darkness

Don't worry, your smile, it's the light; extinguishes it all
You struggle, yet you smile.
Well keep smiling, because haven't I told you before?

You have the most beautiful smile,

And that's the reason why…
