Changing...

Only yesterday again did I feel
A changing wind among the trees
And how the rain seems ever ready
To fall and change
And only yesterday did I see
A father’s steps uncertain unsteady
And how a paling moon was rising
Tonight not the same

I was there when the walls collapsed to look out upon the burning valley to step out of a world destroyed and empty... I was there in the end to erect life taken from me and finally recollect the fragments of my destiny

A Thousand Years

A thousand years have forced the rain
To fall to its death again and again
And a thousand winds will shake the trees
To tear the leaves bare and naked in the breeze
Faces will change and they will show
How ignorance can grow and take hold

Thousands of times

Will-o'-the-wisp

Foolish fire how dare you make presence? In this here marsh with your evil essence. You are make-believe to my eye. Why fly when you do not take to the sky? Why flitter as though you were a critter? To draw my anger and feed the town’s superstition… I dare you to follow

A Message to Girls Everywhere

Define Beauty:

See your reflection.

Bite your lip. Mess with your hair.

Label your imperfections.

Stare; wish. 

Try to change heredity.

You will not become that

and that- is

I feel myself sigh a very heavy sigh

A sigh so heavy I may just collapse under it

and faint

My tainted heart is pounding my stomach churning--turning?

I'm uneasy--quite queasy

Melancholic cold-blooded and alone

The phone that never rings

The post that never comes

How I detest this life of mine

Two Lovebirds

Two Lovebirds sit beside one another

on a bus-stop bench

cuddling whispering shooting the breeze

Kissing for the world to see

and envy

I feel deprived

I want the lie

they believe in

I want to feel

without reason

I want to share

Incubus

Through the silk; his shadow brings the filth. And the sexual incantations of his mind

Laying claws upon chest a slumber so sweet to stir and rile. In all this he whispers your name

“Eve”

“Sleeping maiden unaware of such diabolical beauty”

Caress your skin with

Look at these

Numb icy stone-cold hands

Fingers frozen

Brain-freeze in the

Shivering cold

I want the Sun

to surrender

I want his warmth

to feel better

I want his glow

His luminous radiance that

Everyone knows

                          except me...

I want the

Words in Private Moments.


There is something about it something about the flow
It's giving it some thought and seeing where it goes
You start with a series of letters forming words and sentences
You lace them together with some meaning and purposeful pauses
One word leads to another

What a way to die...

What a way to die
Feet running off with your soul
Eyes sealed like heavy doors
Hands I cannot move
Fingers roped and glued
Shadow half torn half sewn
Seeking a life of its own
As mine lies dying

One. Two. Three…
The clock ticks inside of me
Or is it just my frail heart?
