Jump (Poem)

Jump

Off a cliff, in what they call ‘the chair of death’
A knife to the thread holding life in its hands
Staggering atop the peak of highest lands
Calm before the storm, as the air dries up
Hands are invisibly tied and tucked away

Man overboard in one swift motion of sweep
Understated gives way to whole ignorance
Trivial in how unprepared for the coming
Fallen to momentum, propelling through
Diving, gliding, jumping, faith in leaps

Beauty in every direction, as far as directed
Skies felt on fingertips and humane gush
Numb in the mind but never succumb to
Clouded trails left behind in a secret spiral
Flying is easier than walking one more step

Uncontrolled yells of great joy echo afar
The world is touching every ounce full
Wholehearted and undeniable freedom
Free at long last as life is passing by fast
No define moments to account memory

Downward could have come and gone already
The blink of an eye would deny fruitful fate
Shave off years the bark has held until now
The cliff laughs behind the back of God
Jump so the bungee cord can go back up

Burden (Poem)

Burden

Solitude is suffering
Which brings new pain
Never understood before
So reflecting is useless

The chaos of vengeance
It’s a new beginning
Because fate is fickle
And acts like a bitch

It brings a darker darkness
And unhinges all bond
At a sharp knifepoint
Because death is fair game

So enemies start to fall
One after the other
On a stage set for justice
Which tells its own story

A great burden inflates
Consciousness weighs down
Decisions to make
As mysteries surround

With an assault on reality
Beliefs soon shatter
With no place to return
As the guilt sinks in

Horror Story (Poem)

Horror Story

Horror flourishes on fear
Like a deranged engineer
Cerebral assassin by day
Reality begins to decay
Textbook destruction
Doctors call for suction

Doubt turns anyplace eerie
Psyche is already dreary
A change in atmosphere
May make things clear
Like atop a mountain
Seeking life’s fountain

Caught in a messy mesh
Numbing pain to flesh
Shackled by the feet
No monster to defeat
A masked man stands
Behind your hands
