Dissolving in flashes of sagebrush shadows
The long flat bands of sand
Submerged in desert darkness, the sky

Lest my cheek rise by an untimely hour
Rid my face of discoloured honour...

My boots, still burdened with the dust of Carpathian trails

...My boots, still burdened with the dust of Carpathian trails,
Silently slip over the gleaming tiles of an urban temple,
Where hipsters sip artisanal nectar on lazy Tuesday afternoons,
Under the imp...

In a World Where I Do Not Exist

...Does my butterfly wing flap
matter to matter?
Does my life extend
beyond my fleeting, feeble steps
in the dirt?
Even the genes I pass on to my progeny,
though uniquely mine,
are unchanged by m...

On becoming a night owl

...On becoming a night owl...,
no matter whether or not ya give a hoot

especially after feeling super charged
watching the second night of 
Democratic National Convention conclave
ushering a hint...

To love or not to love

...Once I felt the patent feeling acutely too,
A spark within, a flame anew,
Wouldn't deter the impetus will that took me in,
A journey's start, with heart and kin.

Once I was in love in those tim...

while suffocating suffering held me in the devastating grip, 
and my bestowed heart was shattered by the pain of longing,

time stands still   a casual acquaintance  without breaths
death is not gracious    just an unfaithf...

I build the castle of desire with sands of dream,

from the beleaguering waves breaking on them....

Depreciation

...I'm not human
Is that disconcerting
For an empath who feels pain and regret?
