running down a gravel road
"You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it's all right." - Maya Angelou
running down a gravel road
crunch crunch crunch
beneath my bumbling feet
open sky and open fields
closing in around me
must get away fly away
like the red-tailed hawk
swooping from atop a power line
the horizon recedes
with every puff of dust
I leave behind a lone trail
that will soon be washed away
by warm summer rain
pluck the little pebbles
from my shoes
smooth the rocks into cement
yet still I hear the crunch
as wounds stitch into scars
and my legs continue to ache
held captive by the knowledge
that I can never outrun myself

Mind Ticks
Kalischa Mokhriby3 years ago
I wish to be finally over this soul bronchitis But it's funny because as much as I hate it it also ignites this: Drive in myself to be a better driver of the mind I can't contain
If Others Only Knew

An agreement made before our boon We learn the end before the rules We’re reminded how we’ll be there soon And left to fight with inadequate tools
Regret Nothing

they say feelings come and feelings go, so why must I suffer so? these feelings, just never go away, the more I ignore them, the farther I stray.
A Castle That Be
Frank Kemble3 years ago
Oh what a muse this castle be, deep in the forest of evergreen-sun beams, for eyes to please; Yet, this castle, was a trip to dare, in all its hassle of getting there – Yet, fair, so beautifully vivid in sunlight glare. Such a place for poetic bliss, while this pen slings feelings of kiss!

I don't know how it changed, Conversations went away, know one wants to talk anymore, Its all about Facetime, Facebook, or Tweeting,
