DivorceDo you remember how it felt?
Do you know what it feels like to feel worthless, not enough, to question love?
Do you remember not knowing how love was supposed to look because what you thought was love was completely shattered.
No more two in one bed, no more two in one place.
No more...

Crime of SexThey called it short gratification—
but I lost my soul in the trade.
A moment’s pleasure,
for a lifetime of emptiness,
a spark that consumed
the temple I once was.
O Woman,
your body is not desire’s playground—
it is the chalice of divinity.
If you fail to respect your sacred form,
no man ever will.
Each man you lie with,
leaves an imprint upon your soul.
And...

Untying The Knot
Speaking from experience
as not one to falter
at the altar
its no illusion
why I came to this
wedded bliss conclusion
the institution of marriage
is one I won't disparage
for better or worse
wedlock is the bedrock
of civilisation
and of course
the only
reason for divorce

Simple WordA simple word –
Softly spoken,
Stilled my heart
Left me broken
A single breath –
Such destruction,
Instant death
One deduction
Goodbye.

WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTERI didn’t want to light the flame,
But damn, you handed me the match.
We played a bitter little game—
Now neither one can scratch the scratch.
I offered peace, I begged, I tried,
You laughed and chose the sword instead.
So now the happy parts have died—
I burned the photos in my head.
The goal was never you or me,
It somehow...

what more can be taken
What More Can Be Taken
I came from a house where love never stayed,
Where fists did the talking and kindness decayed.
Where silence was safer than saying a word,
And a child’s small heartbreak was never once heard.
I ran to the bottle, to smoke and to fire,
Chased numbness like peace, sank deep in the vile.
Got locked in a...

I Can't Stop Loving YouI cannot stop loving you
And I do not know why
It seems that every other day
You break my heart and I cry
All that I have ever wanted
Is to love you and only you
Now it seems that won't happen
Tell me what am I supposed to do
My heart longs for...

Of Crows and PossumsSitting on a long deck
At a trailer
In South Georgia
Wind in the Pine Trees
Reading Nathaniel Hawthorne
My stomach is empty
except for
this longing and guilt
A murder of Crows
loudly soar through
Creasing the boughs of the Pines
It is only
Them and I
And
Love that I left
Love that I lost
A hollow serenity settles in
I pull at the Scarlet Letter
Blazing on my chest
Hester exposed
As...

Words to YouI have an innocent fellow in me,
I keep it hide from around me.
He has no mind but only a heart,
so pure, so delicate and innocent,
I need to keep it away from all,
world so wicked, intentions of devil.
He needs faith; He speaks the truth,
But around disguised in devil faith,
And You did a dangerous thing.
Assured him as...

As This River Gives, Rock a Bye, Lyrics
As this river gives, not giving a damn
Emptying out the lake of hate, I am
This ecosystem dies, but was it alive?
Just surviving on dreams that I kept inside
Confusion fills me, deep as this hole
The sinkhole depths mirror my soul
No reflections to see, nothing left to find
Just hollowing cries, and thoughts unkind
Saturated tears, muddled in fears
A...

Your divorceWith this demand you
hoped to evoke
in me the fear that
made even your bones
cold from exposer
frail and bitter the sound
they made as they
rattled around at the knees.
But You can not own even
this for the words
were not yours to speak of
dissolution and disparities.
and still you uttered
such falsehoods
an attempt to hurt...

Am I drowning?Another conversation within myself.
Another riddle within the spectrum of possibility.
Wouldn't it be wise to search for someone in this
moment of desperation?
Fighting to wipe away these tears that wont keep.
Standing in the rains of despair.
The machine becomes obsolete.
How to find clarity?
Diluted fantasies?
I know somewhere my questions
cease transcending the mark that keeps them guessing.
A fallible...

A Pound of FleshWhat is it that you need from me? -
I pray that you do tell.
For everything I've offered -
hasn't gone over too well.
Patience as you grow? -
As you learn from your mistakes?
No, that cannot be it -
because you've never really changed.
Could it be understanding? -
For me...
