Dead Silence

into reality waving franticly
from the rooftop of your house
floating down the flooding river

twisters' green skies run for cover
sirens daily warning duck
undergrounds bunker scramble

fire scars breech unknown heat limits
deaths...

Cheshire Musing

Prose and its narrative
the lazy alternative
Words most abundant
meaning defined

Declarative function
it reads codependent
As poets but smile
— with language refined

Kryptonite

They tried to tie me down and tame me
God cut the ropes
I was made to be this way
I am who I am
I was born a mess
Mad at the world from the beginning
No one to trust
No one to guide me to the positive
I was stuck in the negative
Like a...

Intrusive Thoughts

“when I’m with you I feel like I could die and that would be alright..”

On a good day, there’s color to your cheeks along with a smile

-From ear to ear-

Like everything’s okay and our life hasn’t been fading away,

Slowly

Right...

Waits End

Now the daggered hearts statue remains
Dry tears wilting on empty years
Trapped in memories crashing waves
Always ending the same
Slow motion draining
Heartbeats crooked step
Waining in the languid hours
Stolen in gravities pull
Down wistful...

Shimmering Alure

Dancing eyes softly wait
Shining beauty radiating
Balancing in the moonbeams

Many a sailor's eyes have tried
To untie Stella's steadfast heart
Bound to oceans rocky shores

His eyes stirred her deepest feelings
Longing for his long tender...

The Soldier

In the trenches of war, you fought so brave,
A soldier tormented, facing demons you couldn't stave.
Mental trauma gripped your soul so tight,
Yet, you persevered, through the darkest night.

With wounds unseen, you came back home,
Haunted by...

Polka Dots

Postmodernists like Rohrschach blots
But painters prefer polka dots,
But shaking paint just right
So dots stay round and tight
Is like tying needles in knots. ...

I mean stop surviving and live...

say she's a diva,
some cold-hearted bond of blood by a believer went weaker,
the strongest is the one who survive leaving nonautistic worth men's living that you may tomorrow...
will far grow.
Hopeful faith does your hopelessness by...

Loving and Working

You do not need me to write you,
When concerning brotherly love;
It has been taught by God as true,
Through the blessings from up above.

Love one another we were taught,
All brothers and sisters indeed;
Do this more to increase your thought,...

Solitude

Fingers

woven together by the crevices,

like stitches carefully sewn in
between the fabricated skin.


Quiver from a touch of another,
but from healing caress,

with childlike purity.


Fragile canvaslike material coated gently...

The Truth Reveals All Plane

In what tune of freedom the exclamation drums,
Many a word of joy revolves around many a world in acuity,
Many a memory revolves around many a creation in authority,
And they all enclose my conscience in obscurity.

By what pull of love in...
