A Perfect Moment, Created By Joe And MysticNever had I heard a flutter so clear!
nor more distinct than the settle of midnight wings;
Soft gray wings spreading, fanning
coming to gentle fold,
soon to follow, a nightingale's song,

I'm Done ChasingI give you space then I notice I'm back in your face
Things are not the same and I'm the one left to chase
I realize how silly I must look when I plead and beg
There is no way to take back the words that I said
I'm not getting no where so I'm done chasing
I'm the...

Jealousy of My PainI say it this way because I'm just trying to be happy
I don't wear a sad face because my life is crappy
Haven't you heard it said to turn your pain into power
Think about every rough seed turned into a flower
When you look at me you think I have the best life
You would never see...

Things Have ChangedThings have changed and you don't feel the same
Just showing affection to each other feels strange
What have I done to make you become this way
Was it my pass mistakes and the things that I say
Maybe the interest is lost and you can't tell me
Even without your saying so it isn't hard to see
Is there...

A PityIt's a pity — such a pity —
That behind those eyes
Lies nothing more than pretty.
It's a shame — a great shame —
There's zilch we commonly like,
Remotely similar, or the same.
It's a heartache — a real pain —
Each other's lives we stained,
And lost more than we ever thought
Possible, and ever will have gained....

Right nowRight now I’m at peace
Right now I’m happy about how everything is
Letting go of you was the best thing I did for myself
It’s so easy to smile
I enjoy the day and I barely have anything negative to say
It took a lot to get where I am right now
I use to pray for better...

NOT HOLDING HANDS
Why couldn't I hold your hand? You ask
Yourself in golden bowers of infinity -
Was it because he felt too old to do it?
It was too infantile an act to make?
Questions! Always questions! It is the time.
And I tear myself away from this
I should not defile the memory
Of the dead, or besmerch their truth -
If truth...

TchotchkeSpring cleaning comes and I seek to expunge from every counter and corner
All clutter and dried rose that serves no purpose
Knickknacks and little trinkets all go in the basket.
To be given to those who have lesser or resold or simple lost forever
There it sits on the mantle, an object grotesquely elephantine
Rounded edges so it fits...

Black Hole Love - I'm Calling All-in
I stoked the fire, you drank the flame.
I poured out my soul, you ditched the game.
I'm gutted, bone dry, howling in pain -
You reeled me in, gave nothing back again.
Black hole love — you ripped me apart.
I'm holding the line, playing my part.
I gave and gave, you drained and drained.
How did our love become...

Why I Write
Why I Write
He asks why I write
And I say I must
Because the words, you see
Flow as easy as blood in my veins
The pen as natural as the air I breathe
Without it, I explain
The maze of my mind couldn't handle it
He asks how I write
And I say that my method cannot be taught
For...

The Mirror
When I look in the mirror, I don’t see me; I see who I used to be.
A little lost girl who was so abused and so misused,
so ashamed of who she was, so helpless and so selfless.
Yet somehow, she refused to give in...refused to give up on life.
Even though she tried.
She used her books to...

Snacks
The road trips are for snacks.
That fire playlist to chew on,
a bag of Smartfood to munch on,
some Sparkling Ice to sip on,
then baby we’re gone!
Chunky sub sandwich for lunch,
you probably had a hunch.
I eat them toasted a bunch,
I’m addicted to that crunch!
This bag of almonds I chose,
tasty enough to inspire prose.
So delicious I’d...

Equi-distantHappiness and sadness are equi-distant from each other
It's the speed that makes all the difference
From point to point
A distance travelled in our minds but takes hold of the body
Like a pendulum swinging from end to end
Our souls dim and perspectives flicker
A proud eagle becomes solitary
A vast vibrant field becomes lonely
Words are given innuendoes belonging to...

The White Paper
Stuck between the lines,
The only place where I don't get detained by all the crimes.
Silent sins, where everything begins,
The knife that cuts so deep,
They say, “Calm down,” this is not for the weak.
No building holding up the structure,
Everything’s on the ground, already fractured.
Like the shadows on the hills, slowly...
