Alchemy
Health records department
Endless rows and files.
Details of endangerment,
Scrolls of sickness.
Containers full of cancer cases.
What a strange magic we employ
Turning diseases into paper,
With this alchemy of tragedy.
– Vagabond Prophet
If you’re blind and reading braille
Touching all those little towers
Ripe with meaning.Would the rising action rise
Higher off the page?
Would the climax tower
Over every other character?
Vagabond Prophet
Maybe I don’t write happy things because those are the things I want to keep inside.

Met Your Match
Gravity has finally met its match in you
Tell me where do you hide your wings
I could swear you belong in the sky
With all that grace and beauty,
Why do you walk beside me
And not above me?
– Vagabond Prophet
You ever meet someone so talkative that they didn’t even realize that you were mute until years later?
Vagabond Prophet
Waves
You’re lovely and kind
Your movements sublime
Like the tide
Making everything around you rise and fall.
Can I be the foam on your waves?
Shaped by your motion
Accenting your dance
With my excitement to just be near you.
– Vagabond Prophet
What would you say if I told you that all of us are addicts, it’s just that not all addictions are criminal?
Vagabond Prophet
Oil Paintings
You taught me about oil paintings
How they’re always drying
Colours evolving
To find their own beauty
Hidden deep within.
I’ll be that for you
Never perfect but improving
Peeling off my layers
To find strength down under.
As I let the sun embolden me
Year after year.
– Vagabond Prophet
High Hopes
What goes up must come down
And I’ve got high hopes,
Shed that swollen husk
Off my barnacled soul.
I don’t need that anymore,
Clinging on to my injuries like trophies.
All the best athletes know
It’s all about fear reduction,
That’s what’ll win the race
And keep my hopes from crashing down.
