Things might turn around.
My past reveals unworthiness,

Now he sits in a care home
A toy cat cradled in his arms
Imprisoned in his...

Robin sits himself up, on the edge of his bed.
Dragging his body to the austere bathroom,
Facing the mirror, blankness just filling his head.
He looks at himself, so tanned...

Midnight Strolland I wandered under the stars
the balmy taste of wind on my lips
a whimsy of love in the air
just a few notes unrecognizable
tickling the nape of my neck

the lover I recognized...

BricksBrick by brick, I built this home,
each piece with purpose, in which it owns.
It was the hardest task I ever did face,

Nocturn of the AloneDrifting in silence, no haven in sight,
Alone in the crowd, under the pale moonlight.
Whispers of home, now ghosts in the wind,
A solitary journey, with no beginning or end.

In its absence,...

My CommintmentCenturies is seeking yet never to find
That one true soul that was like mine.

LonelinessCarve out my arms and chest
The aching loss my forearms face
Hands lifted up to a god
Who stole the soul of an empty case
Shine a flashlight through the gap
Or into a hollow statue chest
Porcelain delicate echoing...

Dead End StreetDown at the end of dead end street,
Cold, down and feeling beat,
Trying to make sense of it all,
Sun rises burning red,
Visions spinning in my head,
Now every dead end street leads to me.
Blowing around in stormy...

Someone to spoon meThe image of you in bed holds me
Your back turned to me curled
Your being waiting to be spooned
Like a warm scoop of ice cream
Dripping with sentiment I rise
I know today you will leave me
This is...

My brain and my heart are submissive to ADHD,
I’m not sure what version of this is really me,
I’m knocking on the door and there’s five of them,
All of which are made of the same tree,
