Living
Daily, I battle
The tempest trying to
Blow my spirit into
Submission.
It takes me by
Surprise and sucks the
Wind out of my chilled
Lungs.
Drowning on the land, it’s
Harder to breathe
Sleeping in a bed of
Squalor.
Slowly hands touch,
Lips meet, a run of electricity
Up my spine
Shooting.
Emptiness cannot be
Voided by this
Illusion playing…
Lying.
Lately
In the past few seconds,
I know that I have not been
Who people expect me to be.
I am in constant transition
Between what is right
And what is gray area.
In this infinitesimal space
Of time and emotion that we
Call living.
Each of us strives
To dance to our own
Drumbeats.
Some of us, however,
Do not know that our drummer
Is dead…and a beat box of monotony awaits.
Machete
Machete
The blade warbles
Through the air.
Beating out a symphony
Of scarlet and pink.
The cries will not
Stop the arms of man.
The jungles will not
Conceal our bodies.
Our souls will sing
From the earth.
Our heart and cause
Will go on.
