Inside the cracked mirror
Run away to momma

Heaps of fallen glory stained by the past.

in the middle of it all Love lies almost lifeless,
the aftermath of our chaos is all that...

Those present bow their heads
Praying his not already dead
Eye's flutter, the patient...

Grieve not O my graveyardMy feet were I to stretch on floor,
The walls would veer me to the door.
If I walk tall, a bit unbent,

From thoughts of twisted perversion
The path is always crooked
The night is...

Old FriendsThe Ghost denied

though clearly
I saw through --
Someone I knew
in life, back then
quite pink, substantial
with lots
and lots to do –
tried and tried

all to no avail,
myself even now
more pale
till recognized...

To Whom It May ConcernTo whom it may concern,
For time will surely tell,
I write to my loved ones
To say that I am well.
I scarcely can recall

With time more wisely spent.
