I WOULD, I WISH, MAYBE, MAYBE NOT
I would numb the pain if I had the chance,
I would sew back all the hurt
I would go back in time to just take away the pain,
But I can't it's too late.
I would live back the memories,
I would laugh back at the jokes
I would freeze the moment when I did not have to break down

It will be okay
When movements cease and passion turns a bore
That voice increases, louder than before.
Unravelling temptations and taunting that sting
that I promised I wouldn’t do, I’ve tried other things.
My recollection is present and erases the past
But why don’t I worry that this is going to last?
Collapsing time and merging my days,
I can’t resort to it, but there’s

Harlot
soul-numb nights
in red light glaze-gaze
vodka hazed
streetlights spill
blood beads of a loveless life
a heart scarlet scarred

The unspoken conversation
Pray for me, brother;
There are words stuck behind my tongue
That I have carried in my heart,
For life can tire the tongue—
Because our moments for words are few.
The world does not welcome words, brother.
I am weary of the heaviness in my eyes,
Though no

An Angel Visits the Earth
An angel sent to visit us on Earth,
The realm of bliss to this of grinding woe;
What must she think to dwell in love's sad dearth?
But angels need not think, for all they know.
Perhaps she knows the meaning of it all,
And softly beats her wings to sooth our cries;
Perhaps she knows that mortal crises fall,
And all

River Of Lies
Tears, they flow as giddy gushing streams,
and meddle with our facile sense of joy,
seamlessly they interface cod emotions,
whirlpool laughter smothers trite elation,
smirking bogus rivulet, weeping willow branch,
to that toxic ocean known as hollow mirth

Smiling Through the Silence
My life has always felt ordinary—
a quiet rhythm of joy and sorrow,
as natural as the changing sky.
I tell myself I’m fine,
because when I glimpse the stories of others,
my own burdens seem lighter.
I have no great struggles,
or maybe I’ve simply grown used to them,
numb to the weight I no longer name.
I am not afraid to be

Dead bird
Cold night engulfs an injured bird
Wings caging it from
The naked reality
It seeks warmth
In a frosted golden cage
Of escaping hope...

Blue Cheese
My mother likes blue cheese.
She said it was an acquired taste,
Only the most sophisticated,
Dined on it’s musky scent.
Though I hated blue cheese,
I swallowed it down.
Hard.
Grotesque.
There was nothing I hated more than blue cheese.
But if it meant being accepted,
I’d pretend.
Over time,
Blue cheese became my friend.
It made me laugh.
It comforted me when no one else could.
Who cares

Convoluted Conscience
Rhapsody of rainbow
morphs into morose mélange
of shredded exuberance,
bleeding colors
bleached from collapsed cloud
of twilight zone
embroidered by sunset spectrum,
profoundly permeate
as ingrained blemish
the lilac lattice
of the broken heart,
the sordid shades of blue
paint the linen of love,
f r a y e d....
Requiem
