      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      Tales From a Young Poet - Ridge S. Maurice

      Ambitions

      Another Realm

      Laying down I dream of another realm

      Praying for the fiends that are trapped in Hell

      Where are the ones that I followed here?

      Staying in the dark will they ever hear?

      I stand and I look at the brighter side

      Knowing that I am slow to bring up a smile

      Though nothing will never stop my goal

      Tormented souls are present in the globe

      Forward thinking is required to rise

      Surprised my eyes as I realise

      There is but many tasks to complete

      On this path of eternal masculinity

      Why does it seem that being a man is a test?

      Besting every puzzle that presents itself

      I do not have the answers to these questions

      Blessings are all I ask for from Heaven

      Beyond Us

      Wander rhyming

      Playing the violin

      Thin whispering

      In the back of the Benz

      Tears drop as they witness

      Her lips lock

      Tick tock, the clock goes off

      I’m on to make a deal

      Need for a quick meal

      All I want to do is grab that steel

      To kill whomever ruined the life

      Thought she would be a wife

      Living in strife and agony

      Oh the tragedy

      You can catch me

      Thinking about the times

      They almost died

      Bottle After Bottle

      Bottle after bottle, I’m facing these troubles

      Mano a mano, my motto is simple

      I Will Not Lose, I always say

      These days I’m just not feeling it

      Although I need my love, I demeaned the trust

      I pinch my skin, wishing this was a
