The Man The Boy A Pleasing Son (On Dad's Birthday)

-




A Pleasing Son

a mystery this man
with freckled hands
the boy
a knight with a wooden spoon

held to that hill
a mountain of will
the lion
loud sheep in a quiet room

slow turning tide
a foundation of pride
the sea
roars but it never moves

so slams his heart
each kid does his part
the man
screams yet refuses to choose

religion creeps in
now seeped into skin
the child
cries as he tries to hear

slow echoed drum
no reflection of sun
the shadow
drowned with each cup full of fear

a mystery this man
with freckled hands
the heart
that could swallow you whole 

a pleasing son
a chosen one
the angel
who now knows his role

the boy
the lion
the sea
the man
the child
the shadow
the heart
the angel

my dad


Happy Birthday Dad!
I miss you more than you know!
Here's to LOVE & Legacy!

  THIS MORTAL GAME OF THRONES i know your bleeding gonna die from those wounds so here’s a hand crafted card saying “get well soon” don’t worry about infection or the blood down your spine the graves gonna find you at just the right time here, take my hand let’s walk as if whole just for a moment while you still have a soul don’t mind the pain don’t process these thoughts gotta measure your size for that cold metal box what was it for all your worry and shame all the regret in your net full of sorrow and blame tomorrow will not find you when he visits again today came to say farewell now my friend your moment is coming you’re leaving us soon such surprise  in your eyes tears reflecting the moon we hold to the earth these buckets of bones ashes of tomorrow burn bright on our thrones such thrones that we crafted with these bloody hands reveal our ambitions our dreams and demands some burn with hope some burn with fear others burn out just waiting to hear… i love you ... matt fra...

  Model: @EllieHrin  Photo By: @MattFrancis7 The Maker’s Me Am i the only one that wakes up to me The me that i see  i don’t want to be No matter how far I run Or where I hide can't shake this me That haunts me inside It’s a me with new wrinkles It’s a me with such shame It’s a me that can’t see Any worth in my name I am what i eat As i chew on such lies I feast on the beast That stares in these eyes Where did me go The one that i liked The one who had fun Full of hope and delight Did i drown him in crap These mistakes that i made It’s the shit that just sits As i hide in the shade Covered in darkness This me wants to stare At a past that won’t last Yet it holds me right there There Where is there this quicksand of death How did i arrive And is this my last breath With this last breath I choose to hold To a voice i can’t see But who’s call is so bold Where did it come from This voice growing loud How did it see me Out here in this cloud Suddenly a single word Pulls me int...

Fecal Fortress, Poem by, Matt Francis

 Fecal Fortress there is a frequency to failure a sound that draws me in it holds me with familiar hands it seeps beneath my skin it promises such freedom if i just lay down and quit it convinces me i deserve it as i make my bed in shit denial meets me on the ground and caresses me with lies she tries to bury all my shame with her calm seductive eyes i lose myself in her as her lips now spark my skin each kiss a burning dagger that embraces all my sins “you are just a victim” she whispers with those lips “save your cares for later”  sung in rhythm with her hips i spiral into ecstasy  as she touches all my fears she buries them this fecal fortress a home for all these years “stay with me forever” she pleads while tasting sweat her tongue knows no limits as my satisfactions met at the peak of my release she falls onto my chest buried in her auburn hair i simply choose to rest ... matt francis
