I like to use a pen so my mistakes are not forgotten.

I like to fill page after page and watch

As the ink dries like the blood in my feet, coagulating.

Because I've been standing

Still in the quiet

Apathy whitewashing the ache

of my dreams

Unfulfilled.



This life is a story

not yet written in full

And though we all in time must write our lines

from start to finish

There are those among us

who would erase all the moments

that should have rhymed

but didn't

out of fear that in our eyes

their lives would be

diminished.



But I've been standing still in the quiet

Contemplating old days and soft riots

And I could not erase a single moment in memory.



Some days I like to shake my feet and run

And think about the ageless nature of our gods and our sun.



I like to use a pen so these moments are not forgotten.

I like to fill page after page within my mind.
