Sage Green Man of the Forest
...He's a visual fusion of forest and inner flame,
A radiant pulse of abundance,
Clad in crafted clothing of galore,
Stitched in autumn tones from folklore.
He wears leaves of distinction, orange ...

The Nameless Throne
...Let every whispered wish take flight,
Each prayer cast upward through the night,
Let none be lost, let none decay —
But turn their path another way.
Let not the stars alone receive,
Nor winds ...

What My Daughter Doesn't Know About Friction
...At three years old,
she slides down the playground chute
again and again—
screaming joy like a law of nature,
not knowing her thrill
relies on two surfaces
refusing to agree.
I don't tell he...

Inside myself
...I.
I got lost inside myself one night,
Like stars fall through a dome.
The body stayed, but not the light
The soul had left for home.
II.
I walked a library of breath,
Books unwritten, spine...

From the hills, all around
Watch the flowers grow in sync
They'll stand tall but don't you blink
Then the time of laugh and cheer
Which will never disappear

I Believe

I believe—
Though no shadows walk beside me;
Though silence wraps the path ahead;
Though hands withdraw and voices falter;
Still, I rise on words unsaid.
I believe—
When the world is torn...

The Work Rotter
...Spire insight of silence
Swotch and bind, conspiracy of mind
Conspire and self-protrude
Mindless matter of maddened hatter
Borne gall of uncongruent bladder
Reign wettened confections'n faux pas...

Diluted Destiny Denied
...plans fall through
surprises around the corner
a random rendezvous
mirage moment mourner
diluted destiny denied
but disappointment dissipates
when you realize—
it's all fate.

Thinning Hate
...Try to ride this wind of hope
do not touch the depth with your feet

Much Ado About Something
...“Much Ado About Nothing”
Romeo’s love doesn’t fall through,
As Tybalt piques his fancy too.
And Juliet,
Not in love yet
Chills out on Tinder and Temu.
William, don’t mind the premise ...

The Ghost of Us

The love I held in trembling hands.
The one thing pure, the one thing true,
The brightest light I ever knew.
We had our storms, we had our fights,
Yet I b...

Twirling around, lying down.
But your eyes are going out of focus.
You make a blurry wish.
You wish not to fall through the couch.
Focus, and you’ll be able to sit upright for a minut...

Jenny’s Outside
...…This little girl…
She’s someone new,
A miracle…
Who’s heart could pierce the moon
Although I don’t know her,
I see,
Her fall through the cracks of what’s unseen
She needs someone strong,

Quiet your anxious, loud mind
Run wild from the intrusive taunts
Fixating, gossiping over you in silent,
Yet understood tongue.
