A mess

A mess of my thoughts
Empty in good intentions 
To betray me always

Details | Milton Batchelor Poem

So, life

I weaponize my words with venom
Seared with truth
Laced with honor
They cannot endure without the antidote of denial 
Nour can they bare the scars of reluctance 
They squander their hope on impunity 
They measure their joy in frailty 
How can we as they live when they question their own life?

I see

Breath taken away
I'm in prison of her gaze
Eternity lost

Vagrant

Commitment 
Dealing with the adversity 
Staring  into complacency 
The fact that its lies are majority 
The moment the truth is an obituary 
We stress to test our humanity 
To see if we have morality 
But we dont know our own limits
So we underestimate our competency 
The severity of your impunity 
Derived from the clarity of your immunity 
The absence of longevity 
The presence of obscurity

Life, love

My life for my love
She is all that I have known
I am pleased with that

Long heart

In the valley of death where I have plenty of friends 
Where your debts are paid and you don't have to pretend 
Where if you want to stand alone you can confess your sins
Where there's no embargo on pain and the fun never ends
Where you regret all that you've ever done wrong
And you try to stay in tune while singing lifes song
And may have to limp after kicking against the prongs
Because some think life is short while others think it's to long.

My first haiku

The sun shines in deed
Time shows no slowing this day
Laughter is my shield

My dad

There once was a time when I was younger 
When the thrills of life I did hunger
But as time has passed
Moments dont last
Where did that all go I do wonder.
(This poem was written in the style of my father. )

Press

Press hard my friend
To see the end
Dont worry if you win
Fate is not your kin
My lasting thought
I swear I aught 
To wear and tout 
The spring has frought 
Penance is paid
Pain is laid
I rouse this maiden of staunch confused cadence.
The stench of death is the only fragrance

I need

As I stood for the fallen in the reign of the defeated 
Collapsed was the pillar that held up what we needed
Cause the limit of the endless is measured
And the hold on the boundless is tethered
I witness the difference and it's all the same
I watch the wild as it becomes tame
Ive held what I missed 
And reject what I kissed 
Seemingly the obvious is more riddled 
And the blatant will answer to the belittled 
I witness the blind
As we lossed what they find
To end time on time
 and hope there is no sign
Throw away what you need
Consume what you bleed 
See how deep you can bury the freed.
