Vertigo


Imagine the roads had no more lines,
books words were all in german,
The sun left behind the yellow,
And barrels all ran out of bourbon.

Imagine the stop lights became purple, 
The morning started at night,
Mother’s ran with wild horses,
And pigs flew around like kites.

It’s not that this would happen,
But the frantic idea that it would,
For why should all stay the same,
Just because someone says it should.

If money wasn’t worth a dime,
But monkeys all could sing,
The world might be in havoc,
And the view would be a funny thing.

For minds are made of sponges,
They seek challenge brought to light,
And to close minded individuals,
A poem such like this is just not quite right.

  • War

    Every story I've ever been told has held a spot in my life, 

    The goodest of hero's and foulest of foes did share with me the night. 

  • Five of Me

    I feel sometimes I'm split in two, 

    Of all the things I have to do, 

    I must answer call from call, 

    And write you when you feel small, 

  • Pluto

    She wished that space would talk to her,

    And whispered to the moon,

    About the days that haunted her,

    And those that would come soon.

    She wanted to apologize,

    For wishing on the stars,
