Ink

i cut myself for you 
tattoos, stinging 
raw & real 
ink and blood
i saw you in the flood 
i hung on each word 
like a magazine 
all the dreams 
torn to smithereens 
crocodile tears 
saltwater fears 
i learned to swim 
over the years 
i couldn't breathe 
cause i was done 
no hand could heal 
the things that stung
wild animals 
i hang on tight 
i let them run

Waves

we are the rebels
the revolutionaries 
im hidden in the crowd 
happy in the quiet 
face to face with the onset 
the words just surface 
i am not jaded 
faded or failing 
the words are just sailing 
i drained all the bitter 
I am not the reaction 
of spiritual faction
im causing a ruckus 
my little existence 
im making waves
just to surf 
in this hopeful resistance 
you love my face
my clothes & my family
but love my words, 
my spells and my curses 
love is the vein 
I never rehearse this 
not a reckless yell 
a song over coffee
let's drink for a spell 
im sorry im honest 
im doing well
i remember at sunrise 
we're heaven in hell
