You wouldn't, couldn't back away
Though I'll become hazy
Air from my lungs capable of obscuration

Closeness feeds on flaws
An insatiable appetite in...

I Hope You Wait For The Train,Upon the tracks, the train does glide,
With people inside, a bustling tide.

Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew
To which image, oh dear soul, should...

Desperation MultipliedMy mind wanders until I pass out from exhaustion.
Ivory dreams that end in disappointment because reality is so bittersweet.
As I float along an 80 proof river my senses become dull with compassion.

A Poem of HopeI hope for a day where the world doesn't end,
I hope for a day where I can find peace,
