Jake Ponce Poem
They all have their guns
Aimed at the face of freedom
There's nowhere to run.

Jake Ponce Poem
I'm one to talk about forgetting it all
But I feel like I haven't moved at all
I put too much ice on my broken arm.
I'm now numb to my hollow core.
Dear lost soul, I'm here and still strong
Scarlet feathers and unfinished songs
I prayed that I'd reach you somehow.
A chasm still exists between us.
Quite some time still has to pass
Can you see and touch my fire?
I burn for things that will never be mine
Like the beauty I lost when you died
Or the darkness that once welcomed me
In its innocent warmth
What peculiar fate to carry the weight
Of a world that will never know love
My stories speak about how your teeth
Lures me in when you smile
I was aware of how I wanted to be
Who you'll chase and understand

Jake Ponce Poem
Black photograph
Naked eye in flight
I'm by the river's mouth
Where they drowned us shut
My life in shadows
I won't have it any other way
The will of sunspots
The chase between night and day
Black photograph
Evil eye against my plight
I'll be myself
See it with your own eyes
Moon shaped scars
And the blade that made them so
Tincture of blood in fear
Of prolonging your sacrifice
Rife with shadows
The edge of a corner
A salute to your deference
Piercing away the tension
Bleak is my bonfire
I'll wait for sundown
Weak is my conscience
Awaiting deliverance
