Black is the color of night
the color of darkness
the color of death and evil
But
Black in itself
is not night, darkness, death, or evil
Black is not evil
WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”

Try To Live It
I go to church
I bow
my head
I mean it
I try to live it
I feel like such a hypocrite
So many times
I weigh what I do
or don't
do
But do I do
what
I say?
I go to church
I bow
to God
I mean it
I try to live it
I bow
my head
I mean it
I try to live it
I feel like such a hypocrite
So many times
I weigh what I do
or don't
do
But do I do
what
I say?
I go to church
I bow
to God
I mean it
I try to live it

Not My Lips
He always kisses my neck.
I suppose,
That is because I won't lend him my lips,
Even for a season
Or a one night stand.
I suppose,
That is because I won't lend him my lips,
Even for a season
Or a one night stand.
How I feel
I'm so confused
and it's not by anything
It's just my own thoughts
the denial
and
reality of them.
I know how I feel.
I don't know
what to do with
how I feel?
I like him
I don't l**e him!
...do I?
How
...could I?
I know how I feel
but what to do
with how I feel?
Do I keep it to myself
or
share?
I'm just afraid.
I may wreck my feelings
by giving into them
or
my heart
for not.

Days To Come
succeed with life
inspired to write
think of being different
gotta model the best way
sometimes you won't change
I caught myself
distorted future
clouded dreams
sober visions
its using friends to learn
smoking is bad
college is abusing
and life's not through
till you've lived it all

To Cry
to cry,
drop a tear,
gently,
splashing,
a small dot on the paper,
drys up,
is gone,
never there,
no one knows.
