Hero’s

And this is how it feels, now and again
Wet earthy scent after a rain
A sky destined to never return
Her warm breath whispering in my ear
More sensual than a kiss
Excavating lost passions 

Outside the traffic snarls 
Horns and sirens are unrelenting
Other peoples lives and troubles
Intrusive noise gives birth to city chaos 
Strangers stare back
At me, through me
We’re all
worn-out
Heros

Misfits, lost in another days meaningless commotion 
Revisiting past houses once lived in
The walls retain specters 
Trespassing on frozen memories
Like a favorite movie playing in the back of my mind
Hearts pierced, souls tattooed 
Everyone uniquely the same

Real life goes by undiscovered
Nothing matters anymore
A head full of shitty poems
Empty words dredged from the ether
Ashes filling my journals
Everything becomes
A reprieve
Or a lost cause
