of how she loved him but he only played.

and rooks beseech
for the love of the King who must not...

Love-tideJust a smile, a muffled snow-quiet one,
deafening in its silence when hearts ache
at parting, and dreams crash on barren shores -
the ebb and flow of love-tides cease to surge.
The sails of our ship...

Torrent Of Tear
The ancient mariner surviving within me
set sail with dreams on the alluring sea,
in search of your yearning secluded shore,
I longed for, but was never there before.
As descending dusk spread a dark shroud,
in the falling...

Absent StarsMy
heart hit
the wall like
graffiti spray.
I'm a work of art, majestic as night,
but they only see that I'm not daylight.
Today my stars
are absent
as the
day.

GoneCinnamon- the scent of autumn
Candles drown- wax puddle bottom
Stormy clouds- shrouds of confinement
Tattered jeans- trendy consignment
Younger days- the color of green
Falling leaves- brush off what they mean
Windy skies- snapping of branches
Tourniquet- hemorrhage stanches
Crescent moon- gloaming...

You Won't CallInto your life you won’t call me
Cause you do not at all need me.
I’ve waited for you, but I see

Blinks back tears through the cheval glass
At a bruised reflection staring back
Battered by the hand of perfection.

BrokenIt makes no sound yet breaks like glass
So very fragile and a painful crash
It cuts so deep a scar it leaves.
It makes it hard to even breathe.
The time it takes to heal unknown.

THEY DON'T FEEL IT LIKE WE DOThe animals are a gift from God,
As a servant to Mankind.
From them we get some food and clothes,
In them companions find.
They bow down to our sovereignity,
Accept our scraps as gifts.
The slightest bit of gentleness,
Their lonely...

You and IYou indulged me with your filthy deceits
You anointed me with a coronal of false assurances
You took me by the hand and guided me to a land of falsehoods
And I was a complete fool for you

From Canada To Texas
From Canada to Texas I pray for you.
I wish I could bring you generators,
or ask what I could do.
It’s not fair to see you suffer in the cold.
Resources on the media, “help” right away...

LOVE HURTS-She left me
Hurt
And what's worse
She voiced
I don't love you
I won't love you

Turn your eyes away and her feet she walked away
With this chilling thought she says
Goodbye
You're not...
