Poems

my everything

I am from the unforgiving rays of the sun
from the wafting mist and dewy green landscapes
I am from the fiery neighborhoods in the West Side,
the misunderstood side of what I belong to
its filthy blood-stained air has filled my lungs and watered my eyes since I had been nothing but a helpless child

I am from rough blood and tough love
from fights and throw downs
I am from the wild-ones and poison minded
from Hardheads and Free-fighters
I am from the destructive metal mess that took their spirits from me and caused the letters I will soon to read

I am from the glowing sparks and burning tears that fell along with him
the bullet that shut his eyes for eternity
and the beat up, background scarred faces that inspired the grace of my thinking

Behind my wounded features, is a person I desire to meet again,
a family I am destined to see soon,
the house I must return to

I am from the dreams that brought me to life-

they protected me from the midnight's fury ahead-

they let me live for the moment I was present-

right before I was dragged back down to love the stone-cold killers I have come to call my brothers

my echo of hope

my shimmer of love

my everything
