Scabs Of Hope


hope is a tree 

that died in me

somewhere along the way


withering winds 

slowly set in

and blew all her branches away


her trunk now a lump 

for people to dump

insults that easily flow


grace is a place 

i need to embrace

as life lands it’s menacing blows


rewind of my mind 

replays all the time

the failures that got me to now


yet a call that seems small 

begins to drown all

the lies that are rotting somehow


this moment i own it 

and who will condone it

as blame tries to burn through my skin


seeking me by my tree 

my heart slows it’s bleed

as God’s love washes over my sin


it’s not a pass for my past 

to continue to last

as i kneel at the end of me


it’s a begin and an end 

with my new found friend

hope in him 

holds a much stronger tree

  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
