Fated Love
...They grew up together
But they never spoke
And never seen each other
Fate had her plans, though

Between the dust-covered shelves...

The Tiara and the Crown
I sit here in boxers… and I wonder:
Do I join in?

Then slips away as daylight dies.
It never sleeps, it doesn’t speak—
Yet trails ...

I promise, I swear, I will never, I will always
That blaring sentiment of a pattering ghost that I detest
Among the empty hollowing of her mouth and eyelids
There lies darkness...

We set up in rows, and they stare
We fill our minds with recycled air
We read words that others have spun
And we think we learn,

Reflections Within Reflections

Trapped in the prison of my own hand.
A mirror within a mirror's gaze,
A labyrinth of eternal haze.
