Geographical bachelor


Today I booked a flight to Germany,

A place I’ve never known,

Neither did my father,

Nor my mothers ever gone,

It’s funny how the geographic gene,

Or dna,

However did the ones before you,

Skip such certain place?

See they had less than I,

Before them had less than thee,

I became the “man“ they’d always wanted me to be,

A geographical bachelor to the family tree with I,

I shall travel farther then the ones before me died,

I’m grateful for these bones that I have been laid onto to test,

The great foundation lay beneath me had been built from all the rest,

Through my eyes are the great old souls,

The ones that fostered life,

My life is in accumulation of those who suffered strife,

It is through me the generational wealth,

Shall be reborn,

Because my kin will travel far,

Know world I’ve never toured.

  • Heaven??

    I think that it’s alright to grieve,

    It’s ok to be upset,

    My eyes lay blank on white canvas,

    Trying to forget.

    I wish I never met you,

    Wish you never made me smile,

    Because I’m afraid of heart break,

  • Sentiment

    If I wore a different face would I recognize myself?

    If I no longer had the struggle of beautiful tears,

    Falling from beautiful eyes,

    Would they still be the windows into the soul I know now?

  • Unknown


    I'm worth the trouble of unknowing,
    this is what I've learned through life,
    I'm worth every memory forgotten,
    every stone that's turned again,
    Dementia of the times before,
    a good nights sleep in bed.
