  • So It Goes

    —

    It was a torrentIt was a hazeI was enveloped in a blue hazeThe water was stillI became still much laterWhen it became dark, so very darkAnd it was cold until suddenly it was notAnd I was dazedI was freeI was burning passionatelyIt was a blazeA red blazeIt was under gray smoke I perishedI was with…

  • Speak! Speak!

    —

    Do you know me? Swear by it!Tell me who I am!I look at you for answersNot because I expect it of youBut in your eyesI see who I amAnd so only you can judge me(The difference is absolute truth)For my character is so firmly etched in themAnd therefore you carry within yourselfThe ability to discern…

  • What is all this shit worth anyway

    —

    All worthless thoughtsShould be hung and then discarded,Burnt to oblivionSo not a shred of them remains.Distasteful wordsAll secondhand and worn outShould be left to rot,Left to become worm shit.And let’s make soil of it all,The char, the shit,And allow something better to flourish,Something worth our attention.

  • Declaration

    —

    What do I have to fear? I’m alive!My cells are teeming with vigorAnd I’ve never seen so clearerAs the path I desire shapes itselfBefore me:A golden—no, silverOr, rather, any color path(Because all that I desire is for me)Lies aching for meTo undertake my greatest journey.I’ll have it, I’ll take it;I’ve grown weary of waiting!It’s for…

  • Stars in My Eyes

    —

    There’s stars in my eyesBorn of visions I’ve hadFrom moments we sharedTo moments we have yet to.In every glimmerThere is an aspect of you.After all, these eyes of mineShine only for you.Your light remains so affixed in meLike a star in the northAnd even when my eyes are shut, I still see you. And how…

  • And This Too Is True

    —

    A worry came over meAs if this had all been a farceLike I had been looking too deeplyAnd was pulled into blackened waterAnd what emerged from a moonlit spaceNot me but a creatureWho wielded my voiceTo use words unlike mineAnd made a big showingTo convince itself of its disguiseUntil enough time passed byAnd even it…

  • Beginnings in Every Season

    —

    Fallen leavesAll orange and redAre so beautifulFrom sight to soundThe luscious colors to the pleasant crunchFrom being crushed underfootAnd the smell of their rotPortends the richness of fallThe transition between this and thatLike a hand that beckons and takes you asideTo hold you thereIf just for a momentBecause you should adore magicAnd though it will…

  • Still in Progress

    —

    My life was wrapped in dental floss,The other end of it strung to a doorknob,And it was pulled from God’s jaws with a slam.I sprung free from His tooth like a chick from an eggAnd through a bloody stream, I took my first breathAfter a vicious cry as I came alive.

  • An Elegy

    —

    Time to time, I strain my eyesBecause everywhere I look are zombiesAnd they’re all out to get me,With their fevered gaze set before my directionSnarling and clawingWith arms outstretched for me even as their flesh tearsBut I watch them in comfortAs they cry and flail against a wall of glassAnd I shut the blinds and…
