But the sharp tooth of truth...

Eye of the storm watches over my lifestyles fate
In dire straight bathing as...

Hear the clip-clop of iambic beats
Sounds like Shelley with a side of Keats
Is that the scritchity-scratch of a goose quill flickin’
Or just the tippity-tap of some mouse you clickin’..?

So you a prophet poet, regular Marley...

Fill in the blanks of the words you forgot to say
Saying goodbye cuz I’m wasting my life away
Bury my emotions deep cuz I think that’ll make them go away

Smell the roses cuz that’s what they...

Prevented by chains of numeric organization
Ready for more but only stuck in contemplation

Just like a soldier told “Stay at your station”
Liberty and justice, now that’s a sensation

Life is hard but they hardly know my situation
My...

You think you’re something’ special,
cause you’re Arizona bound!
You think we’re really gonna feel it,
when you’re no longer 'round!

You prob’ly think that we’ll feel sad,
and some of us will cry,
as we shake your hand or kiss...

Bullies

Bullies shouldn't prosper, Bullies shouldn't win,
Do they realise the pain they cause as they stand and grin?
Picking on the weak ones, some half of their size,

The time...

Flight weakens her wings, all that is cherished
Wings dry like powder, caught in a stale breeze
Powder falls up and out, tender this does make 

When wings carry...

Like a glance I catch you
In between seemingly innocent exchanges
When you lean slowly in like the deaf and the dumb 
With your underhanded handiness 
Your adorable strangeness 

Oh, how I see through right through your...

Snowstorm
Haven’t been here for a while,
Life turned crazy for a bit,
Like those plastic snowstorms you can buy at Christmas,
Shaking in your child-sized fist,
Making the snow swirl in an improbable way round Mary and Joseph on...

In the wee small hours of the morning
When sleep will not oblige itself to come
One thought leads to another and yet another
And my brain will not surrender deliberation
Until morning

Emotions so fickle when the shadows of...

My dearest friend
You never fail
To trust my hands
As songs unveil

You do not judge
Or run away
I hope, have faith
That I will stay

For long enough
Until I prove
I want to lull
As hands I move

Then craft a space
When I'm...
