Eyes are the Windows to the SoulThey say eyes are the windows to the soul,
Hiding behind a facade taking its toll.
Saying you're fine when you're anything but,
In your mind, chaos beginning to strut,
Behind a smile so bright,
Masking...

A tarnished soulHere's a story poem about a girl's tragic descent, imbued with dark imagery:
A Broken Doll's Lament
Tiny fingers, a gap in the wood, a scene etched in fright,
A scream ripped from silence, shattering the night.
Mother, a...

Still in love with you
In my diary of destinies,
your song left a sweet scar.
In the silent savagery of time,
fate falters, floating like a feather,
yet my soul still sings your name.
In ivory and ebony hues of hollowness,
you bring colours to...

TerraceOne of soft summer evenings is fading and passers go by
Cappuccino in hand and a cig, you relax in delight
Sick and happy you sit, and it must be your favorite style
Or at least that's the...

The Betrayal of BrothersA single error in judgment,
A glimpse of time that follows us,
Generation to Generation.
This clouds our DNA, forcing legacies,
Against fathers and sons,
Brother against brother.
Decisions made,
Apologizes ignored,
Forgiveness asks, and answers become silent.
Those decisions are unforgivable.
God's law, but...

Love Stranded>In a house that once echoed with love's sweet song,
A woman now finds herself feeling so wrong.
Her husband, once tender, now distant and cold,
Leaves her heartache to silently unfold.
He was once her knight, her protector,...

Bound By Desire
In the depths of desire, I surrender to you,
My body, my soul, in everything I do.
Your dominance, a flame that ignites,
In the dance of pleasure, we reach new heights.
Submissive wife, to your every command,
In the...

A Crooked HouseThere was a crooked house
in a crooked part of town
Where you could down a pint or two
and let your life calm down
A place to relax and to de-stress
with friends and glass or two.
Yes we...

Serial Keeler
Foreboding of a tempestuous storm,
it blackens as it draws near,
a cumulonimbus in towering form,
extending to the troposphere,
So cast off mooring and slacken the line,
break free while there's still time,
'cause...

Hurt AgainShe was like the softest clouds,
On a warm, sunlit day.
Standing out in any crowd,
In a celestial way.
Unsure how to cope,
With a loss so profound.
Yet within, there's false hope,
Things might turn around.
My past reveals unworthiness,
My...

A Rambling GuyIt's the beginning of Fall,
chilly days and boring days
are ahead, he notices how tall
are the pines that oversee all;
a rambling guy whistles songs:
does he have a destination in mind,
or he strolls tirelessly to unwind?
His shadow...
