Shy of You

Even if I kissed you,?
your emotions remain untouched.
?Despite all cares of the heart ?
You left me stranded, broken ?
As a hand without grasp 
The chains were gathered ?In your name?
To isolate the pieces that sustain
What's left of me, of you ..

Brothers and Sisters

Apart from a life evolved 
through minds
The shine of the sun is still 
declined 

No spoken word would ever 
surpass 
This as it is, will forever last 

They drink their fill, still thirsty 
From skin to skin, ill and dirty 

Now last your while my good 
siblings 
For I am gone without your 
knowledge 

Hoping the best for near faith 
of you 
Hesitate not, I must say to you 

Dream that dream you never 
dreamt 
Exempt is you to be and then...

To sacrifice your whole being 
To know what is truly seeing 

I say it now, you'll say it then 
Let's pray now, let's pray for 
them...

Scary Moments

It's scary to think of such things 
I've gone through, or maybe have seen 
Listen close to the words 
Shh. Just read 

Average day could do no wrong
As screams running through the hall
I panic , to check the case 
My sister urged me into the room
I saw the terror in her face 

I asked what happened, she replies 
"The door! It just busted open "
Mother whispers of evil spirits 
"They've let themselves in!"
The jolt of fright trembled our feet

So now you've found yourself 
In a room full of fears 
Trapped there with sisters tears 
Heart beat drowned pain you felt 
The slow footsteps that made you melt 

It must be a joke, this isn't real!
Until we watched the knob turn 
Gently and slow, our bodies still
"Block the door!" I yelled 
Don't let it in! 

Watching the door open
We could only wonder
As the figure creeped
Each step brought weakness
In our bodies to fade to sleep ...

The first night soon went 
As if a dream meant to measure 
Our worst nightmare 
The reality of when...
It came back the second...


                                     
                                -J.W

Son To Mother

As far as I, plan to be from you 
or this life 
It still hurts to take life from 
the joy you have left 
It'll take time for you to have 
what you want back 
Or time is infinite and may you 
ever find that moment 
But don't worry, 
"Momma momma!" my only life 
I live........
 to breathe to live for you......
The best and the reason I spent 
my time alive ...

Beyond Your Conscience

As this pen merges with the 
tips of my fingers 
You anticipate the depths of my 
speech
Urging, their shallow minds 
lingered,
To speak of such, beyond the 
reach

Rather to see air,  than the 
beauty 
Of a gale cast upon the 
summer
Who would be willing to subdue
What others could not utter

Are you I ? To carry its value?
The words written in a state 
Where only I contain power 

You are of you.
As I am of I. 

So it remains, the doubt of the 
mind...


                                    -J.W

Home

If it wasn’t cold outside, I’de be 
out wondering if the sun would 
rise again, to bring back 
warmth where it was once 
healed. 
Although it only lasted, I 
inhaled the acceptance of my 
disgust, blew away the dust 
and thought… 
Why don’t I just run? ?
Because I am what you call the 
survivor.

Calm

Please oh please, my good 
youth 
Bring me to a place with good 
roots 
Scattered among many who 
shine 
With empty fuel of rage for 
mines

Let your gathered pain run free
Apple seeds engulfed by sea 
The sweet cool, feelings eased
Please oh please, my good 
youth 

Breathe slow but aware 
For more is there 
To sleep it gone 
There there, my good youth ..
