I am…
Four words to a page,
Snowflakes on car windows.
Daggers welded by the draw of a tongue,
Fire flickering on sun tanned skin.

I am…
Blades of grass blowing in the wind,
Tidal waves swallowing islands in my wake.
An ember dying for the very first-last time,
Stainless cotton candy clouds-
-floating in the dreams of the innocent.

I am…
Gunfire, birthing a war,
Heated words molding lovers into haters.
Truths crafted into lies,
Life crammed into death.

I am…
Secret kisses, tamed embraces,
Hidden lovers with hurricane force winds –love-.
Two souls entwined by fate, never to part.
Lovers mark, lovers grip,

I am…
Words created by the broken heart,
Fairy-tails brought on by a child’s mind.
A lovesick teenager’s emotions spewed onto a page.
I am every escape and every release.

I am…
This poem,
Your poem,
Every poem that was,
and every poem that will ever be.

I am….
I wrote this on the 10th of September, the day after the two months since my dad passed away. The 9th of every month now brings with it a heartbreaking remembrance of how long I have had to live without my father....

Anyway, I haven't written anything in a long while, so I figured for those that actually take time to watch me, y'all deserve to read something fresh from me. Fresh, not good.

This piece was inspired by a movie I watched the other night called 'Words and Pictures.' As a Writer and a Photographer I like the concept of the movie. As a Writer and Photographer I know the deep emotional (and spiritual) power of both the WORDS and PICTURES. Words, to me come first, followed by a picture. As a poet I have been moved and inspired to write by looking at one picture, and I have seen others moved by a poem/story to paint/draw the scene they see through the Words. Both are very power weapons. The power of life and death is in the 'Word', something a picture can express but not hold. More people commit suicide because of 'Words' said than looking at a picture. Pictures/paintings hold a certain power, one that I take enjoyment in, but they, in my opinion, are not nearly as life defining as Words.

A truly wonderful piece. Never have I found something so deep,
Yet so simple to.
A poem about the poem itself.
What it is, and it will become.
Truly wonderful, and shows your amazing depth perception
