Cluck turns a cry
Near the yard, I heard the mother bird's loud cluck, A signal to pull a sly trick on the hick. Yuck! Her chicks all ran wild and scampered amok, Scattered by the bumpkin swinging a big stick. The dispersed chicks drew a cast of circling hawks, That were happy to see meals within their grasp....

eclipsed
A blot of ink drifts right of center. It grows, devours— Pale pages consumed by raven. I asked the low, bruised sun if my life still counts when my pen scratches a scream— but no words ever made it out. My voice chases inked shadow drips—spread mourning...

You Left Me Breathless
You left me breathless, When you walked away, You stole the air straight from my lungs, When you broke my heart that day. You left me breathless, When your words were spoken, You drowned me on dry land, When your promise to me was broken. You left me breathless, When you did what you said you wouldn’t do, Your words choked me, Until I turned blue. ...

Remember my Name
As I walk down the corridors of time, the scene of eight decades ago came back to haunt my mind, I can hear the bombs exploding and the waves fighting with the howling wind and screams and cries emerges from the deep, and somewhere in the midst of the sand, I could hear someone...

Behind The Curtain
I hold my silence like a sword, In battles no one sees me fight. My tears are ghosts behind closed doors, They only visit in the night. A smile’s the armor that I wear, Each laugh rehearsed, each word in line. No one suspects, no one can stare Into the cracks I call “I’m fine.” My throat is raw from swallowed storms, But still,...

Sin
Lo, do I grasp with my wretched fingers, Onto where my heart it still lingers, Tendrils hold as though a parasite, With it's life causes my blight, Even withered it does not die, For its mother hears its cry, Nurturing back to good health, Yet it is I who have dealth, Suttle thoughts fuel the proliferation, Making death its instrumentation, Rest from it comes with...

A short breathless moment
For a moment your vision become blurred, Until you blink again and the tears stream down your face, Your shoulders are shaking from the force of your sobs, Your breath feels stuck, as if it’s just out of reach, Just take a deep breath, your going to be okay, I know that for so long, you’ve kept your sadness at...

Pillars of salt
You cut me here, without ever saying a word. Then you twisted and turned, your knife into a sword. Then you took back your word, now I'm never sure. Then you took my soul, not knowing what it's worth. So I cut my self, to show you where it hurts. Don't look back there's...

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...
