When I told you about...

While We Metamorphose
My voice broke on the edge of breath. We stripped the bark from our ribs like trees to find no center. Blood is a language we forgot in churches. I held your absence like a flame burning under my tongue, while skin remembers the names we never spoke. I was becoming not better just closer to the fracture before the old name. And you fell into me like a glyph not carved. We did not rise we undressed....

YES, YOU CAN!
Yes, you can! You can be the change the spark and the light someone’s sun on dark days. Sometimes, it doesn't take much a smile a nod a simple thank you can lead the way. So be that change. Be the reason someone smiles offer a hand when they stumble a shoulder when they break. Be the voice that speaks the truth the first to rise the one who...

Alive, But Gone
I love you both with all my heart, But Mum, you tore that love apart. You made me choose, you made me cry, While Dad was left to wonder why. You spoke of him with poisoned tongue, Bad words for ears still far too young. You painted him in shades of wrong, And made me feel I don’t belong. He wasn’t perfect, neither...

A child cries in a mirror
A child's joy was taken at gunpoint in a long, dark tunnel on a winter night~ as clouds drifted, whispering subconscious fears, stirred by music played by demons, loosed like wildfire in a room of mirrors. A bird chirps~ as if begging the clouds not to crash on the earth... the weight of iniquities, loosened by fire, now too overwhelming for the sky...
