Hello to any who venture forth on the journey that is my mind.

I am currently an Electronics Technician and a college student. In what little spare time I have I like to write songs and poetry as a way to ground myself. The lack of time to process my daily thoughts leads to some interesting poems / lyrics when I finally sit down and sort them out.

I decided to create a poetry / lyric blog because I realized that there is no point in taking so much time to carefully create and coddle a piece of work and not share it with others. I do warn that not all of my work is family friendly, there is some cussing at times. It is not meant to be offensive, it is meant to be expressive.

I tend to write a lot about the things in this world that disturb me, like the horror film director that painstakingly creates a scene about a childhood nightmare that terrorized him during his innocent slumbers. In a way this is meant to be a wake up call. I hope and pray that you won't press the snooze button!!

I really hope that anyone who happens by this blog enjoys what you read. Feel free to let me know what you think!!

-Philip

Changing of the Seasons

Everything is fresh and new,
The sweet summer air,
Cherry colored brilliant hue,
I could lay and rest,
For eternity against your breast,
How perfect it feels,
Sitting in the lot,
16 years old,
Experienced we are not,
In matters of the heart,
The novelty creates excitement,
Learning who we are,
But danger is lurking,
First love spreads its wings.

But seasons changed,
And so did we,
Stars once aligned,
Slowly eclipsing,
The best times of my life,
And the worst ones the same,
My heart it shattered,
Still bleeds to this day .

As time went you changed,
And so did I,
Till the day came you realized, we were living a lie,
Foreboding misery,
Brought me down to my knees,
My soul is overcome with envy,
Panicked, my soul bleeding it seems,
I searched for the answer,
Eludes me does still,
Naïve was I to think,
To think that you will,
Live happily ever after,
With an asshole named Phil.

But seasons changed,
And so did we,
Stars once aligned,
Slowly eclipsing,
The best times of my life,
And the worst ones the same,
My heart it shattered,
Still bleeds to this day

The time it went,
It slipped away,
Now here I sit, ten years to the day,
Life is cruel to me,
I sometimes look enviously,
With time has come wisdom,
Novelty begat familiarity,
I’ll never forget those times,
I can’t help but smile,
When I see the blessings,
God has bestowed,
I can’t help but wonder,
It’s natural I suppose,
I hope that the blessings come to you in droves.

But seasons changed,
And so did we,
Stars once aligned,
Slowly eclipsing,
The best times of my life,
And the worst ones the same,
My heart it shattered,
Stopped bleeding this day.
