- Hi, My name is Austin.
I have been an author here for about a year or so and regularly update this page and when its full of 25 poems I just take down a good few and continue updating.
So far its only actually filled up twice and I think my writing is getting a bit better than what it used to be so I tend to leave more room for newer ones but if you comment than you really like one I will usually leave than one up for a good while.
Anyway I love writing and it was either voice my opinions on paper or write them here or murder so I went I decided "hey why not all three?"
If you like one or anything like that be sure to become a fan so you can see when a new one goes up and also it would be great if you left a comment and told me what you think.

Ani DiFranco - Studying Stones
Ani DiFranco - Studying Stones
I am out here studying stones
Trying to learn to be less alive
Using all of my will
To keep very still
Still even on the inside
I've cut all of the pertinent wires
So my eyes can't make that connection
I am holding my breath
I am feigning my death
When I'm looking in your direction
'Course numb is an old hat
Old as my oldest memories
See that one's my mother
And that one's my father
And that one in the hat, that's me
It's a skill I'd hoped to abandon
When I got out on the open road
But any more pent up emotion
And I think I'm gonna explode
There's never been an endeavor so strange
As trying to slow the blood in my veins
To keep my face blank
As a stone that just sank
Until not a ripple remains
I am high above the tree line
Sitting cross legged on the ground
When all of the forbidden fruit has fallen and rotted
That's when I'm gonna come down
'Course numb is an old hat
Old as my oldest memories
See that one's my mother
And that one's my father
And that one in the hat, that's me
It's a skill I'd hoped to abandon
When I got out on the open road
But any more pent up emotion
And I think I'm gonna explode0 Comments 669 days

Cold War Kids - We Used To Vacation
We Used to Vaccation
by Cold War Kids
I kissed the kids at noon
then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab
ran up a tab
on 7th and flower
best recital I had to ruin
missed my son's graduation
punched the Nickles boy
for taking his seat
gets all that anger from me
still things could be much worse
natural disasters on the evening news
still things could be much worse
we still got our health
my paycheck in the mail
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
as long as I live
but even then
it sounds so soothing
this will blow over in time
this will all blow over in time
I'm just an honest man
provide for me and mine
I give a check to tax deductable
charity organizations
two weks paid vacation won't heal the damage done
I need another one
still things could be much worse
natural disasters on the evening news
still things could be much worse
we still got our health
my paycheck in the mail
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
as long as I live
but even then
it sounds so soothing
to mix a drink
and sink into oblivion
I promised to my wife and children
that accident
left everyone a little shook up
but at the meetings
I felt so empty
this will blow over in time
this will all blow over in time0 Comments 669 days

Carolyn White92 weeks agoMy Mortality hhmmmm..
I guess you (not the indiviual, in ppl in gen) become bored of that too, from my point of view circles is the only way to go, not that you have a choice, I found I even got bored of accepting my own mortality, so I went back to the ignorant begining, Forget all you know and learn it again. brand new!
I think Im lucky enough to have bn to the brink to know you can come back, sometimes thats what can hold you here and maybe sadly thats what brought my to my ignorance renaissance.
Peace of mind floats my boat, bit of an empty vessel now so ignore my noise. -

dude it only lets me review once lame! that new poem should gets 5 stars though!!! amazing! maybe your best one yet! I have noticed you refer to water and the ocean alot in the poems to do with love and whatnot. It's great. In my interpretation of those poems as a whole it would seem like you feel like your lost in the vast expanse, lonley, maybe even drowning in a sea. It could be a sea of emotion where not even you may not know lies in the dark. Thats just my interpretation though and that's why your now one of my favorite poets.

by Kristy Dekker 30 weeks agonew poem loved it
by Annalise-Marguerita-Watson 48 weeks agoReview Excellent poetry, I enjoy it, it's on a totally different scale of what I normally read, but it still keeps up to par or surpasses the poetry from a lot of other sites, I'd like to see more of the stuff that you've written. The poems themselves though really are really uncompareable to most poems on a normal judgement scale and are absolutely perfect.
