We all got those wild days when we fall low
We all have those demons that mess with us
We all got thrown below the bus...below the bus...

Galaxies of Glory - Slayed
Galaxies of glory

Stars do shine
Like turning wine
You are mine like guitar strings
You're my serpentine swine (holding unto someone that's stubborn)

Her Fate
Everybody says that she’s okay
She just fakes a smile and says
I’m fine
Nobody knows
She’s living a lie
Nobody knows
She wants to die
It’s too late
She’s trapped
It’s fate
Nobody knows
The pain buried deep
Nobody knows
The secrets
She forces her heart to...

Posthumus
Posthumous
I’ve seen death passing by,
looking through her glassy eyes,
silenced by her inward shrieks and dumb.
Escaping presence,
all the while stepping closer to clinch on.
Where the precipice submerges
failing you in flight.
Shot with the last shot,
there was to...

Keep Writing For You
I wish you would just keep writing for you
For writing is a mind refresh and renew
It’s not all about the fortune and fame
And definitely not about making a name
It’s release of the words that...

In the secretive garden of metaphors
In the secretive garden of metaphors,
A vision of hues enswathed in enigma,
Words that grow stronger as they entwine, signing dreams assorted,
Under the aegis of magnificent specters, wonder is born for what will ensue,
Beauty that settles...

I played with words today –
They called to me
“Come out and play with us!”
Childhood companions
Building rhythms like treehouse forts –
Playhouses of analogy -
Crafting rhymes that follow the leader
Into mud pie irony;
Playing peek-a-boo...

Pikture Perfekt
I wasn’t smiling in the picture I see…unfortunately
Possibly, due to the trauma in the past tremendously
I’m feeling my way through the crowd of people

But I...

Little waves of light, reflecting darkest night,
Embracing shadows, so alive – feelings to recite.
Little wonders, growing, soft and silent, flowing,

Little whispers, rising, fragile but so energizing,
Breathing hope through...
