Nothing left in the concrete
...My 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

He Sees You Not
...His beefy heartiness is a cheerful note,
but one that cannot be sustained for too long,
the one he greets
is pummeled into a certain shape
by his concrete perception.
He squirrels yo...

Barely Sticks To his Routine
...And the hearse did rehearse its path,
Though the skeleton held dearly
To his ground, smiling loud.
He was bare - needed a shroud,
With his straight bow, grinned severely.
For it seems,...

Lost in a sea of bitter loneliness.
Saline-soaked clothes stick to weary bones.

The Magick Of A Misfit Huitain

riptides of dreams burst boundaries;
Drops become circles never squares;
Out of the box locked in a freeze
with rough edges it aims to please;
There’s no hidin...

Don't Misunderstand
...It's only my heart.
Chipped away, calcified
fragments all over the place.

pulled from a mouth,
petrified and incapable
