Basketball

Bouncing 
A rhythm on repeat   
Exhaustion heavy 
Impossible to admit defeat 
Nor to succumb to the pain 
Winner is not a title for the weak; 
Every action with immense prudence 
Adrenaline surging 
The comfort of the texture 
Beneath my fingertips 
Suppressed all that wasn't 
The hoop or the ball 
Endorphins pervade and taken me aflight 
Floating, the rim vastly wider 
The length of court shortened 
Sweat dripped 
Poured from my face 
Intensifying, heating the air 
Humility all I can taste 
As I struggled for my breath 
My mind pensive on committing 
All my energy to be left 
Here on the floor 
My escape, my addiction 
Where I can leave myself behind
Basketball...
The only love i can call mine

Ever Flowing Pen

Oh, ever flowing pen 
I've grown cognizant
You, my only comforting friend, 
Taking me adrift  
Waves of the forbidden sea 
Venturing into territory unmarked, 
That offers a soothing melody 
Caressing, permeates tranquility 
As you rock my restless mind 
Into a delusional bliss  
Unspoken words that dance 
With excitement upon my paper

Imagine

Imagine 
Looking with eyes 
All events, everything 
From a viewpoint  
A perspective that sees all 
The broadest spectrum 
On a universal scale 
Natural, black and white, 
If there was a finite 
Amount of energy existing  
In the womb that is space 
Without the influence of fictitious forces 
The universe is static, 
But if gravity was rather antimatter 
Drawing upon and absorbing matter 
Producing energy as it does, 
Energy and material are interchangeable  
With no deviation from the constant 0 
Everything seems to cancel out in the end 
But time is relative 
From a universal perspective 
There is no starting point and no end 
To a cyclical event, 
Matter and antimatter exploding Into 
Existence, then snuffing each other out 
Would I be wrong of the conclusion  
In stating god is energy? 
We are in Gods image 
Not as humans, 
But all life...

Heart of An Ocean

My love in you  
like the ocean,  
I want to dive into your soul,  
never resurface.  
I’d drown if I could.  
Breathe in, never let go,  
explore the very depths,  
into the heart of the ocean,  
to see what lays at the bottom,  
Unrequited, until I touch it.  
the further I venture into  
a territory unknown,  
the more I discover,  
the more I love,  
the more I am enthralled and determined  
to see what mysteries await me.  
The more I penetrate into  
the gratifying abyss  
of your heart that seems  
to have limits boundless, 
the more I want,  
the more I seek to reveal.

Just Another Game

I fell 
Back into the shadows 
Hiding in my shell 
Watching the rain 
Extinguish hell 
Gradually, sizzling pain 
I watch, but I shouldn't tell 
How hot the flame once was 
Not a soul could fathom 
How every molecule, nerve 
Connected by the seams of your soul, 
Irreconcilable images  
That which begets peculiar bliss and agony 
A visual so encumbered of confusion, 
How could one betray 
That which once was my light 
Numb, dead, decay, 
Your words 
Rewind, replay 
Broken promises, lies 
How could you 
Leave me in the dark, 
Oozing, bleeding 
How could you break my heart? 
The rain 
Is crashing down 
Emphasizes the pain, 
Please, tell me, was I 
Just a player in your game?

Insatiable Love

stood still soaking up the rain 
A cold embrace shook me 
Sent shivers down my back 
Waters of despair fell relentless 
Over my head, in rivers 
Beneath the foggy mist 
Your smile appeared 
like heaven and earth kissed 
Colliding, in front front of me 
The warmth of your breath 
Awoke a million butterflies 
At the gentle melody 
Of your voice, a lullaby 
Immoderately filled with delight 
You held out your hand, 
The glow of your presence was bright 
Your touch was cool 
Full of endearment that warmed my soul 
Your glow welcomed and aspired 
It could not quench the thirst 
Every bit of you that I desire 
The lips of an angel, 
Smooth and beautiful 
They drew closer, 
Passion burning within me 
And before they could meet 
There was nothing I could see 
My heart paused a beat 
As happiness gleamed 
I roused, 
It was only a dream

Did Yesterday's Mistakes Occur

I don't know  
Which way is home, 
Yesterday is kept in store 
By memory alone, 
The inaudible screams 
The motionless violence, 
They bounce in the emptiness 
Of utter silence, 
Truth and happiness oscillate 
But are not of the same sort, 
I'm lost between connotations 
But i seem to come up short 
On the perceptions of reality, 
There's no such thing as rewind 
But it feels a never ending torque 
Fueled by vague echoes of anguish 
Cherished recollections 
That race in a loop, intertwined, 
Locked into the inevitable 
Memories fade to a blur 
Everything bleeds into what now is 
Did yesterdays mistakes occur?

River of Time

Lost within the intrinsic woods by myself 
No desires, avarice, nor any sort of wealth 
Just me and my dog observing together 
Oh, how I wish I could stop time forever, 
The shady spot i sit below the tall timbers  
Evokes memories, recollections, whispers, 
Stains of anguish and worries that lay below 
The river of time, will wash away as it will eternally flow, 
The stream, which, once believed to run wild 
Now seems a lion become tame and mild.

Fading Away

My heart is bruised,  
Words unspoken  
Thoughts restrained, confused 
Under lock and key, unopened 
I pry with eager eyes  
Running through corridors 
With a flashlight soon to die 
Vacant, bolted doors 
Hallways of shredded dreams 
Racing within secluded depths 
With no sense of direction  
Chasing opaque thoughts 
That which lays within a layer of dust 
Racing a million miles a second 
Of hopes veneered in rust, 
And suddenly, All is dark 
I don't know who I am 
Im lost within  
A lonely embarkment of vacancies, 
Forever in eternity

Dreams of You

I lay within     
Impenetrable darkness     
The white noise     
Flushes my train of thought     
As it embeds and deploys     
The emptiness I had forgot     
Prior to your divine love that has filled     
Every dream I've ever sought     
But, now leaves my vision distilled     
While every second alone in the dark     
Rings of faltered hope nearly killed     
And it feels as if the beat of my tattered heart     
Lay congealed without the completing piece,     
My yearning mind drifts to space       
And I find my aching soul peace     
Within my mind where you're in my embrace     
Holding my pillow, drifting off into dreamland     
Oh, won't you fill me with your grace     
And walk with me in my dreams holding my hand   
Inhabiting the empty space...   
That you have enlarged within my heart
