Inside Poems

Premium MemberInside a Cloud

Inside a cloud the lining shines with hope,
on paths that slip and slope, we grip on tight
to rope made from our inner strength to cope,
we always find a way in life to fight.

The road to happiness is felt within,
as soon as we begin to realize,
the win exists inside a smile or grin,
as letting go is

The Monster Inside

the monster inside
wants me to hide
it wants to come out
that’s without a doubt

it rears its ugly head
filling me with dread
it tempts me to spiral
the monster’s gone viral

it’s going to get me in trouble 
I can no longer stay in my bubble 
I need to tame the beast
like an exorcism and a priest

it sees me when

Premium MemberThe Ache Inside of Me

Seems like yesterday I watched your fingers
play the piano, and heard your music unfold.
In memories, the romantic vision of us lingers,
though love's symphony dulled like tarnished gold.

When we were together, you wrote for me,
songs you scored day and night to compose
of the passion between an oak and willow tree,
Lyrics sweet as the fragrant scent of

Premium MemberWarping the Mirror Inside Out

Last night I drifted between dreams.
The dawn was too weak to keep me awake.
I closed my eyes with intention—
to step back through the curtain.

The dream re-opened lucid,
not as I had left it then,
but as I wanted it to be.
I warped the path of the flowing stream.
Its waters following my lead.

I called to the spirits,
the half-seen

Square Peg, Round Hole

Catch them when they're young
and shape their tiny minds
by telling them to colour
inside the lines
kids are our precious resource
nurture their dreams for the future
break them on the wheel of control
and kill the spirit destroy the soul
conditioned at an early age
they'll be at a loss
when they're told to think
outside the box
complicit in your conspiracy
avoiding confrontation
it's not

Life Inside A Florida Prison

the walls sweat like old drunks

union correctional, they call it—

correction my ass,

this place was built for breaking.

men bleed here, quietly,

a shiv under the ribs,

a mop bucket wheeled by,

nobody looks too long.

guards strut fat on overtime,

pockets heavy with side deals,

they sell cigarettes like gods

and laugh at the rest of us starving.

chow hall—if you can call it

On The Inside

If beauty is but skin deep,
I prevailed upon her to construe,
'Does it lie in the eye of the beholder
or, of the two which one is true?'
For we can't judge the book
by the cover, with but one look,
as what's inside truly counts
far much more than that.
And tho' to me she bemoaned,
'I am big-boned'
I've yet to see

Premium MemberForever sealed inside

Timeless you once said to me 
standing on golden sands distant horizons met 
This world of ours has no ending
living oceans murmur inside breathes 
within memories in those that salt cured 
They are the gathering dust blown away
bleached white the remains become fossils of a bygone day
in memory of each waking hour thanking God for

The lantern inside

 
There’s a light beneath my voice Not made of flame, nor bound by choice, It flickers soft in silence deep And guards the dreams I long to keep.
 
A whisper forged of ancient fire Unseen by sight, but strong in choir, Each breath I take, it burns anew— A vow to always walk with

Wandering desires have wandered in the shadows

The feelings of the mind are hidden behind the clouds

Unexpected changes abound in the storm

The steps have been taken on a path without turning
 
Life's lessons have taught me the way to walk

Crazy thoughts have forgotten the lessons learned

Chasing dreams that didn't come true

The desires of the youth have gone astray

If I Still Cry Inside the Line

oh lord there are so many 
mountains for me to climb
if i still cry inside the line
yet I’ve turned over
every stone in my mind
yet some things are hard to find
we shall never know this time
when there are circles in my mind
yes the world is sublime
but if I still cry inside the line
oh lord when will
