Banshee

Roller coaster or screaming lady

it’s more than death

I see it as a rebirth

of the new you

the stress and pain of

this existence

scream it away

there’s hope its a new day.

Elephant

I am

strong as I walk the plains

memory unmatched

i know all there is to gain

as a symbol, I give you luck

do with it what you will

as a totem I give you strength

fight another day I say

I make you stronger

than the average man

walk with head held high

be one with me

strong as

10,000 men , taking on the world

doesn’t matter if you’re boy or girl.

when you’re done

the world will know

I Me My fee fi foe!

What up lonely

get home from work

mask off, playtime over

life isn’t supposed to be this way.

fiery insides

yearning , longing , stretching

for the thing that sets my soul on fire

is it a person, place or thing

or within?

I’ll be your clown 🙃

crowned him smartass

made you laugh every time you passed

did you know he was hurting inside?

did you care to ask?

Open Road

desert road from here to nowhere

full tank of gas

where would you go?

who would you see?

who would you be?

i won’t tell if you don’t

my plan someday.

One of those days

Trying to stay up emotionally

i don’t wanna be down

just wanna make it through

I’ve been told this too shall pass

Will it?

Almost 40

you are who you are

searching , a quest never ending

I’m not there yet, but soon.

©️MarcusCaesar

unflinching vulnerability

Lights are down

the feelings rush through

a man who cries

opens himself to greatness.

Saint Honesty

Sometimes you don’t have to ask

but the truth is universally told

like rain on a scorching hot day

needed but unwanted

perceptions disjointed

but what do you expect they’re only kids.
