Notes About The Poem

Anthony Bourbon

Rebel to the core
a story teller
brother in arms
we all march to the same reaper
bountiful the smiles
loving humanity
giver of kindness
the greatest Houdini act of all time
 all in the eyes
	all in the eyes
		all in good time

Black holes with no visions
	ripping one from the inside out
		finally there is only one path

To the lights
take away the darkness
	the pain
	suffocation

death is your only suitor
enticing you
your last dance

RIP

It is a sad beautiful thing, a person so wide open to emotion, that as a pendulum the upswing, downswing... it is a powerful thing.
