Diego Rivera & some of my poetry
 
 
 
the last petal
 
 
my last wish
it lies within you
i can see your sweet lips
crimson
with a slight bit of black
you walk through my dreams
nothing like a stranger
flowing through
going through
i can never see your face
but i know your it
my last wish
and the last petal on this flower
 
 
date unknown
 
 
 
 
 
 
thirst
 
 
the desert highway looks the same this time of night
endless only forward
thinking
reverie
wandering with out passion
searching for nothing
only driving
driving on the star less sky
it's almost like a tunnel
except the universe is the thing that's surrounding me
 
driving
 
i miss her
i always will
she was my only reason
 
but now i'm just driving
searching for nothing
in hope it might be home
 
driving
 
maybe there's someone else out there
but now i'm just driving
on a road that never seems to end
 
date unknown
 
 
 
 
 
An Angels Whisper
 
 
i hear them whispering secrets
they know i can't stay awake much longer
that's why they must keep up their strength
but just sitting here
in this industrial rain
tears of communism
i feel their lies
echoing the chambers
that children once played in
of the tree sought for
to climb
to rest under
to feel the roots
dying under the earth
in some urban life form
of a decaying society
that takes in meaningless flesh
fucks it's brains out
leaves them lying in the gutter
those sweet angels whisper to me
of my life dying
of a wake worth seeing
watching the faces
grim with pleasure
facing everything they wanted to
now that everything is lifeless

Restless Dreams
 
 
 
turning in constant anguish
a sultry midnight
creeping upon the city
drapes fluttering from a cycled air
mixing the tension of phantoms
with demons
sitting under streetlights
flickering neon
twitching every time the thunder roars
2:06 am
one soul wonders bellow
hunched in misery
sweltering beneath layers of guilt
with a quarter moon
a sliver in the sky
all is silent
in a city of guilt
trying to sleep away dreams

Amongst the Trees
 
 
whispering
conspiring amongst each other
in hope for their own freedom
around a camp fire
the chill of winter
making their words visible to all
with murderous eyes watching
waiting for one to slip in their own words
to catch them and kill them
 
in hope of freedom
 
one man sits
laughing to himself
watching the sun rise in a furry
warming himself in the cold blood
sitting there dying
watching the circular fire climb peaks that he'll never escape
laughing
knowing he won
 
to be able to watch himself die
and knowing his words will be the last spoken
his only
will reflect off a valley
and enter into himself
words never heard
except in his dying grasp
 
he won
 
his own defeat
