Times getting slower, The worlds getting smaller, The fires slowly burning, Weak knees
Bloody palms, Heat flows past my face, The anger urges Strictness, Wanting deeply to come
out, Hold on, Stop take a breather.
Fake away,
Bring me...

Vacation Day 1
I sat in a meditative state
Released everything inside
Hollowed out my being
For a single parent whose son had died

I drove a thoughtless road
Until my destination was in view
Roger was crying in the shop
I didn't know what...

A Turtle's Throne
Standing in a foreign nation, fragrance from a fresh cremation
Lost and long forgotten by the beasts that roamed my home
Nights are dark and gloomy but the tundra’s so damn roomy 
Here is where I want...

Saturday I awoke from a long slumber.
My hair wet and smelling with sweat.
Palms are shaking if I had done something.
My memory does not let me pass a certain point.
I tried to grab my head, such...

It was the raindrops, that were tapping on my window pane
that night you left
packed your bags, calling the yellow cab
and driving away into the Red Sun.
I prayed you'd come back, but never did you return.

The Haunted House
‘Twas on a long winding road drive and decided to roam
around an old town down by the emerald reverie.
I came across an old charming Victorian home,
so full of pulchritude and stunning beauty. 
It had a...

My Turn To Cry
I’ve distanced myself
I didn’t mean to
Didn’t set out to do it
An unconscious act of the mind 
For self preservation

My visits went to once a week
Sunday dinners that once lasted for hours
Became shorter and shorter
Until now...

Woman, woman that I loved uncommonly
Several springs ago
When the weather was good and callow
When the wind whistled swiftly, low and slow
Oh! Woman, you were young, strong and sparkling
Darling, now you're deceased
Lying down and sleeping comatose...

Premium Member Pondering Sideways Glances
While walking I saw 
something move in the corner of my eye.
When I gazed straight at it,
it was gone.
But, on second glance, askance,
there it was, again.
To and fro, direct and peripheral,
it appeared and disappeared on...

Smoke drifts from the smokestacks
On dark and gloomy days
Just before the first rains of Summer
Crates are collected and stacked
And thrown onto the conveyor belt
So they may disappear into the fortress

A robot sings songs of yesteryear

Prince of Peace
Aloft in a world,

Focused toward,

Elaborate Strategies.

Pushed to Our Knees,

Bound by Principalities.

Deceived by Fallacies,

We try to please,

Those affected,

By the same disease.

Addictions to Appease,

Sifting through impurities,

All the uncertainties,

Echoing Symphonies,

Of negative energies,

Distorting the symmetry,

Between you and me.

Prince of...

The Faces of Grief
Grief has many faces
It astounds and confounds
It pierces and perplexes
It turns your world upside down

It invades like a thief
It steals your normalcy

Life’s intrusive enemy!

Is it a friend or foe?

Avoided pain is the cause of pain itself
By pain, I learn to control myself

Where all my past and all my flaws are shown
Through the light unwanted
