The Road Less Traveled

Watching. Waiting. Weak and weary, Thoughtless, careless, Full of whim. Treading unbridled through the forest, Clearing paths with heavy sticks. As far as journeys go, My life is unique in fashion, A road less traveled, Full of curves, cliffs and dead ends. I wipe away the tears of frustration and anxiety, The realization sinking in, […]

Death and Taxes

The certainty of life fades, And I wonder what tomorrow might bring. Lying on the floor beaten and bloody, I can’t imagine making it through the night. Everything in this existence comes at a cost, We pay in time, in honoraries and in tears, Taxes that we can’t afford but we submit to anyways. The […]

I Will Not Apologize For Speaking Multiple Languages

Achtung, achtung! There is no shame in speaking more than one language, Of having more than one maternal tongue. Of being able to let you know that I don’t care about your bigoted opinion in more than one idiom. No voy a pedir disculpas por amar en español, Trabajar en inglés, Amar en francés Y […]

Life

Anger. Tears. Silence. Fear. Despair. A memory is lost in a thought And that thought becomes a memory. Whisper. Whimper. Frustration. Anxiety. A crude awakening to the curse of the years Passing us by merciless and remorseful. Passion. Regret. Undying wanton and desire of a life worth living, now wasted away. Love’s surreal emotions all […]

A Loss For Words

I wish I could say that I’ve missed you, That the days passed by without the thought of you, That no one has mentioned your name, Or asked me how you were doing. I wish I could say that I need you, Like the air I need to breath, But since I can’t see you, […]

Write

Write for those who lost their voice, For the talented fools that make it, And for the passionate artists that are never discovered. Write for the sake of writing, Of chronicling the truth as you see it, As you hear it, As you experience it. Write for the unknown novelist, The poet, The scholar, The […]

Death

The mastermind, The puppet master, The strategist and tactical analyst. Direct, succinct and to the point. Do not waste time and time does not waste thee. Clear, concise, precise, Always ready to execute. To me all men are the same, Dispensible, Unreliable, unrepentant and unrelenting. Hubris clouds their judgement, And greed fills their hearts. Not […]

My Beating Heart

I love you with all my heart, From the center of my body, The beating part of my soul. I love you with all my neurons, Each synapse craving for you, My drug, my enhancer, my concentration. I love you with all my being, With every breath I take And every thought I process. There […]

A Day in the Life of Zach (I am Z)

Wiggle wiggle wiggle, Woof woof woof, I stretch after rustling from under the covers, Belly up, legs up, Rub me, rub me, rub me! Down the stairs and to the right My bowl awaits full of delights, The door closed, I sit nearby, My signal to let me go out into the sunshine. Play, prance, […]

Misery Loves Company

Sitting in the couch, Coughing, sneezing, Waiting, just waiting for a reprieve. The congestion worsens Tightening my head in a vice, Pressurizing my sinuses Which are about to explode. My body aches, To the point I can feel the weight of my soul. My trusty companion, Woman’s best bud, Lies on my chest. He is […]
