Poem
"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood." 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

In this performance we call life,
my spirit searches for an interlude of peace.

My poetic mind riots consumed by rhymes, 
savaging our memories of grieving beliefs.
I'm a soul rasping winter's woeful wings, 
afraid I'll become a poet who ink will forget.

I'm trapped in the desert of dejected demons,
wandering in aching avenues of dreams, 
forgotten in ferocious frozen vine's of time,
surrounded by meadows of blood poppies, 

Season of death is a cursed caricature of memories,
full of salty tears, bitter goodbyes with spiteful sentiments.
Let me sleep in the synchronicity of angels,  
as ebony horizons drift into darkness.

When crimson clouds bleed to paint the sky, 
I scream at silent scarlet skies,
as black rain from a dark storm plunders.
Like acid burning my metaphorical paper wings,
I float like a butterfly cursed by moths of deceit, 
as hope dances dangerously with my malevolent muse -
grace and hellfire waltz with my heart's chambers. 

I can't help but remember last November, 
when death clung to the air around me, 
as answers we found turned into a designated dead end. 

In delirious desires of deathless shadows, 
I still see your daggers and cigarettes in a charcoal silhouette, 
with your every breath laced with guilt. 
Yet, the ghost of your voice lulls me to sleep, 
as the silence crawls along the walls at night. 

Who are we to judge who is a sinner or a saint.
I wonder if you will walk down the stairs of heaven, 
hold me in all my fragility, remind me of childlike charms,
or will rebellious regrets open the gates of hell.

I scream at the Grim Reaper to take my soul, 
ravage me, before I go,
but put a white veil on my corpse,
so each night when I visit my grave, 
provocative eyes with loose desires,
can feel the wind beneath my sails.

But, gift me one more midnight,
to create my final masterpiece to paint my dreams,
carved with marble white ink,
engulfed in sentimental verses -
for this is poetry, formless suppressed speech.

One day our quill will eternally slumber,
as our conscience passes from poetry to dust.
In the plight of adversity, only I, truly know,
that stars speak stories how simple words were not enough,
as truth only prevails through poetic justice.
