Burned Bridges

buried under the melody that crowned them kings
I came with the needle's sigh,
not for applause,
but for...

Crypto FOMO

AM green candles he had awoken 
So I FOMO’d in chasing candles green
Surely to see more money than I’d seen

But alas, the baned black swan, it appear...

Beaten me down, 

Across the rocky shore,

As I lay facedown, 

Thinking about our lore, 



How nothing I did, 

Seemed to even the imaginary score,

Nothing...

Look Up, Colorblind

..."Write about the sky." you said to me.
But that's were I drew a blank & couldn't think.
I wasn't sure where to start, so I just stared at the sky absently.
This little girl came up, so pre...

Again No Joy Awaits Me

...Again no joy awaits me
after having known
how fate sways thoughts
and makes one surrender quickly
without any words of regret;
can one be persuaded with a threat?

Again no joy awaits me
afte...

In the Islands Far, Far Away

...Mission Control, this is Flight Z924693744, do you read?
We're having some technical trouble. How should we proceed?

We have spotted a planet, that appears to be suitable to abort;
But, to retur...

She suddenly lurches forward

Fell onto the floor awkward

Facedown nude waking up delusive

Sold Out

...Since I saw you,
I've had this hope live in me.
That everything that isn't needed be gone.
