Josh Brabender Poems

this first free verse
i don't stop writing
will show skills
and why i keep fighting
...

They say it’s all about the journey, I used to disagree.
Because I loved the destination but now I start to see
That when I finally get there, I think about the time
When we out sang the radio and thought we sounded fine.
...

I look back and think of that good oak tree,
and remember he stood strong as he’d hold me.
I was anything in that tree; all I’d do was pretend.
Clear into the night, ‘til I made my descend.
...

Basically brothers besides blood but bloods basically batter
The matter may make the man but it can’t make the man matter

The fluid forms family not friends, friend forming is florid
...

I once had a wish
it was summer forever.
But later I wished that
I wished that wish never.
...

I wondered off to sleep last night
Wanting to escape my world
Five sleep aid pills helped in my fight
to go and dream as I lay curled
...

Warm weather to cold
the disheartening plane ride
vacation's over
---
...

can you take it a little longer
keep with me i swear
you're being ignored cause I'm getting stronger
i clung to you more than you could bear
...

the plane headed straight for Palm Beach.
it seemed that we never would reach.
the plane made a sound
and dived down to the ground.
...

A family that's really quite larger than most.
And that's what is so great, that's why I boast.

The two names of two past's come together as one.
...
