Realizing You Are a Poet
People often tell me they cannot write poetry. They say they do not know how. They say they do not think that way…whatever “that way” is. These people are wrong. If you think you cannot write poetry, here is proof you definitely can. Poetry Is Not What You Think It Is Poetry isn’t one thing. There’s a dictionary definition, of course, but that doesn’t encompass all of what poetry is. The definition of poetry is also a prime candidate for subjective or personal interpretation. For example, my definition of poetry goes something like this: Poetry is condensed language Think about […]
The You Inside of You – the Dream Within a Dream
People are like those nested Russian dolls. You never really lose the things you were, as you get older. You just kind of add a new shell on top of them. That kid you were, that bold or shy teenager, that wild early twenty-something…that stuff is all still there. You just have to open that top layer and look deeper. You ever have a dream within a dream? I have. Sometimes I have dreams within dreams within dreams. Sometimes you go too deep into the layers and get lost. Because those old yous aren’t the same as the current you. […]
The Memory of Trees
The Memory of Trees One day, the girl came back to the tree, as she always did. This tree, it knew her. It sensed that, even though there were changes, this was still the same girl. It always was. “Do you remember me?” the tree asked, in its way, with a slow wave of its leaves. Of course, the girl did not hear the tree. However, she saw that slight shudder of its foliage. Additionally, she saw how that almost indiscernible movement caused a single ray of light to quietly, quickly, and sneakily peek between the tree’s crown. It made […]
One Sunapple St.
One Sunapple St. I asked you for an apple You asked me for the sun Knowing outside of metaphors I couldn’t give you one You asked me for a miracle Right when I turned to run And against all odds I Turned around and somehow gave you one I ate my tasty apple You said I was the sun You reached for it then blamed me When the heat burned on your tongue Sometimes we unravel Our work becomes undone And sometimes we are stunned to find The work has just begun Sometimes you’re my apple Sometimes you’re my sun […]

Waking from the Dream
Waking from the Dream Waking up is hard The hibernation starts with the realization The realization that nothing is as it was supposed to be With the job lost, the failed loves, those inconvenient and pesky things Emotions Then the news says death By ingestion, breathing, walking a certain way And it’s all true, all of it So, sleep Sleep through it all Expecting to be awakened by that alarm clock called Change However, when sleep, opportunities pass, and change recedes in direct correlation to how many of those chances go untaken Maybe while sleep a dream creates a warning […]
Fuck Yo Feelings
The desire to want another person to hurt is wrong, and yet, it’s sometimes hard to fight it. I want to moonwalk all over your feelings. Then grab my crotch, do a spin, and walk away from you. Posted by Silencio Barnes on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 But really, sometimes you do want to hurt people. Maybe you don’t want to do it physically, but you certainly want them to know pain. This is especially true if you feel that other person has hurt you in the same way. This is an unhealthy desire. It’s best to avoid it. Move […]
Just a Test – will be deleted
This is just a test post – trying to see what will happen when I post a new post to this blog – if all is well, it should automatically hit twitter and facebook. Gotta make sure the feed is updating and services are being pinged when new posts occur too. Let’s add a picture for no reason too! Let’s also add an mp3
