  • FROZEN IMAGE

    by DESTINY

    Down The Path, Away From The Road
    Bustle Of The Highway, In The Inner Quiet
    Cold Of Winter, Emptiness, Sadness
    In My Heart

    Catch Of Air, Shortness Of Breath
    Loss Of Warmth
    Crunch Of Snow
    Snap Of Branch
    Startled Revelation
    Facing The Reality
    Of This Moment

    A Remembered Echo, Residue Of The Event
    The Tree Fallen In The Woods
    Without Sound
    No Human Witnesses, But There On The Ground

    Death Frozen In Place Serenely
    As It Should Be,
    With Swallowed Feelings

    Frozen Image Fleeting
    Under Melting Life And Death
    Lost In Time Transformed By Internalizing

    The Image, Years Old
    A Metaphor
    For Today
    Brooding, Ponderous Steps
    Footprints Of The Road
    Down The Path I Must Take
    Alone After The Dying Sudden,
    But Inevitable Nonetheless.

  • MY GRAVE

    by KAT

    On a day so bright with the sun to shine on this winter grave, I can’t believe that such thoughts would approach my way.
    To have the one I love say the words that ensure my doubts in me. For him to say “You’re truly far away, not a part of society.”

    To say such things and make me think I should internally go away. That maybe society would do best without me.

    So let me fade. Let me fade into nothing.

    On a day so bright with the sun to shine on this winter grave. I’d never expect all that has happened to me. I’d never guess on today of all days I would have beaten and bruised physically. Pushed to the edge of my sanity. With the devil’s girly minions saying how I am so ugly. While loading me with their stuff and forcing me to have no fuse. Telling me to take it like a lovely little young lady.

    On a day so bright with the sun to shine on this winter grave, I would have never have foreseen the emotional load put on me. Everyone bossing me around with no such thing, a misery. While seeing such disappointment in my one and only’s eyes. To feel no purpose on this day of my life. To have this burden put on me is nothing but torture to me.

    Then they lifted it and along with it my feelings for everything. Except the part that chains down the oh so lonely inner me.

    All I want is someone to hold. To go somewhere far away from all this pain and suffering. Some where no one knows. A place far away from any three of my homes.

    On a day so bright with sun to shine on this winter grave, I would have never thought it would have my name.

  • LET ME OFF EASY THIS TIME

    by BRANDON B

    Let me off easy this time,
    Jus do me the honor of being mine.
    Let me off easy this time,
    I promise I’ll save your mind
    From all the typical boring rhymes.
    Let me off easy this time,
    Our love will be the definitions of Valentine’s
    Day where me and you unwind.
    Let me off easy this time,
    And try your best to give me your all with all your might.
    Let me off easy this time,
    When we say good night don’t end it with an “aight.”
    Let me off easy this time,
    And before hand let me know that I’m wasting your time,
    I don’t whine jus ask nicely to my man above,
    That my next love lets me off easy this time.

  • DEAR FATHER (LOOK THROUGH THIS)

    by BRANDON B

    Dear father,
    I’m writing to you because it’s evident that I’ve been discarded,
    I once was a clean sheet of paper that has now been tainted by your absence
    but as of, and since then,
    I wonder if I’ve been on your mind, does the thought of me inhabit you at any given time
    “ugh what’s my line?!”
    I’ve been through this rehearsal even though it hurts still to know you disowned me
    To think my blood brother, by a different mother, helped me be a better man than you
    Young Lil’ Brandon had thoughts of arson to all thoughts of you,
    My abler to be alive, not father, but manufacturer me a delicate machine
    With only one mission more determined than Akeelah striving to win that bee, When you incoherently stabbed ‘n yanked out the heart of lil’ ole me
    That empty space filled with hatred, stronger than a Jew had whenever they saw a Nazi,
    Constantly wonder how could he, he of all not see, the talent bestowed upon me, My endower my self-esteem lower
    Chopping up my letter n sanctuary of false memories hoping we could work this out are now under a lawn mower wait lemme lay them here n blow them about.

  • BIBLE VERSE

    by ISIAH
    1.
    Influential words saving me from the depths of solitude.
    Never alone, as I have one to show my path and guide me through it.
    2.
    A soul is given faith, and bound to the contents of the pages when read,
    And the grasp of knowledge and security overrules all evil and defiance.
    3.
    War and bloodshed, havoc caused by a myth.
    Endless confrontations, condemned if you don’t follow it,
    But follow your eyes because without seeing the truth,
    You’re blind.
    4.
    Protection is key, when in the satanic grasp.
    The devils domain is overshadowed by the voice of God.
    God is the light, blinding to the shadows.
    The followers are rejoiced while the others are left to wallow.
    5.
    Three days, is eternity without the lord our savior, but he shall not leave us forever.
    Resurrection. He dies for us, and he, the invincible, is back.
    Only to save us from our sins again.
    6.
    The mystery of the bible.
    Is this thee ultimate structure of the factual religious ceremonies,
    Or rumors made up by a drunk who simply has a story to tell?
    Never the less, this is what’s accepted,
    Even if it’s true or false.
