BetrayalI stood on the gravel pathway,
feeling the wind gently kiss my face,
and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms,
mingling with the air.
My hands went up to my mouth,
covering my gasp,
as I saw him kneel down on one knee,
a velvet box in his hands.
A gentle smile adorned his face,
as he looked...

Not InsaneI'm not insane.
I swear to God, I just wanted to help her.
To reach out and save her.
I grabbed her, to urge her to move.
That's when I recognized the terror on her face.
She was scared, just like me. I didn't like that.
Don't be scared.
I'm just trying to help.
"P-please...don't."
I sighed as she stammered out those words when...

Nothing left in the concreteMy concrete dried beneath regret,
No footprints left just silhouettes.
I scream through porcelain but cracks don't form—
Just echos of a lifetime; body-worn
An engine heart with rusted gears
Still grinding through regretful years
I've calcified to the point where nothing grows;
A statue dried; yet it sank inside an undertow....

Dears and DarlingsTrees of powder,
Delicate and firm.
They conceal my feathers of frost.
I perch myself by all that glitters
All that warms, and all that flickers.
I perch myself by candlelight
Snug in my nest of yarn.
My dearest deer is lost today.
The other starlings fly away.
Drifting off, a state of slumber
Filling me with fear, but wonder.
My nest of yarn, it cradles...

Thought Twice, You Still Ain't RightBob Dylan's Song: "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"
Suze's Response: "Thought Twice, You Still Ain't Right"
Verse 1
You stitched up your pride in a travelin’ song
Said the road don’t lie, so you moved along
But the truth don’t rhyme when the reason’s wrong
And a record deal don’t keep you warm
Verse 2
You made me a mom, but would't...

Love Ends In Cemetery[Verse 1]
Well, hello there, Romeo — didn’t hear you knock
Waltzin' in like love ain’t got a lock
You've got big dreams and a borrowed car
And a fistful of daisies like that’ll get you far
She’s got your name in her diary heart
But I’ve seen boys like you come apart
You think you're chasing paradise and lace
But you’re one...

BurdenTo be a burden means to not use the tools strewn about.
The rusty trowel and bucket filled with half-thoughts.
Be a burden.
Your words are just wailing and buzzing at us.
I can be a burden.
I can dig little holes all around the sand.
I can bury little toy soldiers.
But under the sand means...

Dandelions Of MayI saw the bending stems of lively green—
Where stalked a little sun of yellow bright.
Should love be like a flow’r, a sweet nineteen,
And May, a month so dry and passing rites.
Of fondest dearing names I say and tell,
Adoring in ways never thought I’d say.
Alas a wind of chill and heat did fell,
A sign for...

Cemetery of Corpse Roses"Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow. " ~ Shakespeare
As fragments of the stars abandoned
the sage of night, my kohl heart bleeds
beside your trembling tombstone,
while soul aches to seize the
fading scents within
the iris of
auroras,
leaving
dreams
and
I, lost
like the speed
of shooting sparks,
twirling above ghosts
in the cemetery
of wild corpse roses, whistling
moonless requiems...

Rainbow In The DarkI feel so bold I have a firefly’s heart
Black wind blows drowning the stars
Demons dance leaving faithless scarred
Do you have a chance rainbow in the dark
I hear a song from long ago
Before I was a sparkle in eye
Melody that brings you close
Even before you live or die
How can it be He calls me
Despite the devil’s...

If You Are LoveO God of blistered stars and silence,
I crawl to You with blood beneath my nails—
Not theirs, my own.
I tore at shame like bark from skin,
But it rooted deeper still.
Do You see me now?
A cathedral of cracked marrow,
Where hallelujahs rot before they bloom—
I cannot pray without trembling.
The night — I dare not name it —
Stitched its...

From where I sitFrom where I sit.
The dark gray clouds,
producing the rain,
that continues to tap,
against the window pain.
The absence of blue,
in the sky above,
brings dreary thoughts,
a life without love.
If God in his heaven,
could answer one prayer,
and send me relief,
lift darkness and despair.
It’s not a perfect woman,
my heart truely seeks,
but loving and warm,
true heart that...
