My days seem lost forever And my nights last for eternity I’m abandoned in this world Where darkness has overcome me I’m living life in the shadows Where sunlight is forbidden to shine I’m here with the devil who doesn’t sleep All the while wrecking this life of mine By most I know I’ve been...

I don't even like this wine that I'm drinking, But it's here, It might stop me from thinking. Tonight he grabbed me and threw me, Onto the ground. Then his foot landed in my ribs, I still hear the sound; The hollow thump, A gasp leave my lungs; Him shouting at me "you had enough?". Yeah, I have. I'm sick of all of this...

Is grey a colour I’m not sure It’s the way I look Next to her She is vibrant Yes technicolor I’m just her shadow She’s like no other Don’t get me wrong I can’t complain A flower can’t thrive Without the rain. Not for Andrea’s contest but is inspired by it....

A ballet on the river Hot humorless jagged rocks cut through omniscient anarchy Voices of space melodiously chant in mesmerizing light The misanthropic ants crawl on reality as I sit by the river's edge Nowhere to go hide behind cacophonous clowns…vehement vaudevillians A parenthesis that expands into a void I am here but not here Time’s arrow is relentlessly forward Vortices of apocalypse...

I've carved lions and tigers but never the possums or the beavers which taught us how to build and better to flee to the threats of bark. Shattered marbles, never roll back and are done for, not even keeps are worth it. Killing myself over this, and yet, the washing machine tumbles again.

Milady, you were always loved For twenty-five years, the people honoured you They believed you were one of them Not either royalty or nobility Just the same as they were But you had someone loving you who you did not know No one knows anything about it Just that it arrived on the day you were buried Milady, it must have...

She came down screaming, cloaked in flame, A bolt of spite, no soul to tame. From hilltop high she cast her spell— The art of slander, taught too well. They built her shrines in whispered breath, In gossip’s grip, they danced with death. Her tongue, a blade that cuts...

When roses are red and violets are blue, each is a lovely, sentimental hue. But the color of blood is also red, and now my love, as you're gone and dead, the color of velvet is tinged dark-blue, and I still cry through my tears for you....
