The agony the shadow brings to the room,
Those seafoam eyes shinier than the moon.
The variables a haunting reminiscence
Of three thousand years of omniscience.
The cursed form of blessing
Through a sweet twilight addressing
Makes it's way through...

My mind has our story on repeat;
That fateful day when my hope was defeated...
My heart left broken by your words;
Across the universe a star died,
Drowning in tears...
And no...

Jar of HeartsI stood in the middle of a large crowd
Claustrophobic but breathing easy
My heart pounding in my chest
Every beat sounding like Cherokee drums
Closed my eyes, deep breath
Eyes open, then I saw him
He stood there in all...

A Girl Like MeI couldn’t close my eyes,
As I wandered and searched.
I’ve found so much I’ve never been so hurt.
You slowly turn into a stranger again, what’s this? As I emerge-
Into tears, I am so cursed.
How could this...

I looked into her eyes gently.
I saw her love burning inside.
Her love for me was growing.
As we both stood there and cried.
I’m leaving in the morning.
When I return, I do not know.
I only hope...

deserted
step …
across the sill
this haunted house
walls of torn paper, dripping
crumbling plaster ceilings
hanging like rotten vines on this
bony frame
dark, broken windows, the
empty eyes that stare
once aglow with
the bright from within
life and light … and love
made a...

All of a sudden, or not at allAll of a sudden, or not at all.
Love does not roll in with the tide.
Love is calculated, and random.
A steady roller coaster best strap in for the ride.
There is no cushion for the fall from...

Missing Piecediligently she
labors
gluing her heart
fragments of her heart
back together again...
But there's a missing piece
that just seems to be gone
she's looked everywhere everywhere
Must be you took it
when you walked out the door
stuffed it in your pocket
and...

(A work in progress)
There is a piece that will not fit, that I have kept locked in the deepest chambers of my soul.
There it has remained, not nearly forgotten, for years.
Decades.
Centuries
Eons.

World is a drama stage,
which has a dwimmer screen,
that can trap you with a
net of desires.
Several stories, diverse roles,
pretending folks, everything is fake!
So why do you shed tears
for these ungrateful peeps?
Love is a phantasm,...

Through the fogThe steel rusts
Rivers rush
One last breath
Suffocating underneath a haze of indifference
This lifeless aura
Piercing the stillness
Dampening my disbelief
In our chance to make it out alive
Our greatest fears

The Queen Of Broken HeartsTrapped within these walls of stone,
A prisoner of my own making.
Captured by a hollow heart,
A fortress for the taking.
Swordless on a fragile throne,
I'm a King without a crown.
Haunted here at castle's keep,
By a Queen who'd...
