Mikel Calcagno Poems

Gained the world but have nothing
Noticed but not known
Your god spared a quality of himself
In an aloe plant for the cut on your hand that bent backwards
...

Excavate my life in the sand
Impelled my feelings in my hand
Experience liberty thru the design of PAIN
Pervade thru a world that casts away my faith...
...

My mistakes are mended into a weightless burden

My pride is like a cold heart of stone
...

Solstice illusions rapidly crumbling
She's an ocean undiscovered far away
Pantomime our heresies
With each other's hearts in our hands
...

Fallen without a conscience
Victimized by a simple trend
This unmended heart severed from my veins
Uniquely designed to BREAK! ! !
...

Every heart trembles like broken strings,

For every chord played decays with the stars.
...

Chained to the past ride the wings of despair
Corroded and rusted trust beyond repair
In this triumph of the wills I won't be overrun
The pride that is instilled cannot be overcome
...

Swept away by the wind
Night shadows turn to grey
Solace reside in the sun
and the darkened souls fall in the sand
...

On my way home, police car pulled me over.
After they left, I puttered out of gas.
Triple-a’ came, but my card was expired!
I had to walk home, and of course, it rained half the time.
...

Seething I breathe a subtle purpose
Anger rising scratching the surface
Bleeding I convey the chains I've wrapped around my veins
Pushed as I fall, I'm inclined to hate
...
