Crown of Sonnets
The Beast of the Cave
When I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen

Two...

Aspie

Unique construction of body and mind
My niche in human pack not quickly found
Raw young heart of a curious design
The empty mirrors for my soul abound
Subjectively a bit odd to myself
A jangled, disconnected kind of...

While Remembering

As I drove through the heavy snow of Manquiville,
Deep in silence back to Grandfather's house, all frightened faces
Full of solemnly dreams, I remember the smell of the sea.

But quicksand stuck, I’m petrified
My body still, arms laid by side
Stretched out on mattress, naked, soaked
From sweat in which my body’s cloaked
My eyes...

Like sunshine dreams, of blue-gray days, that couldn't be any duller.

Still I Breathe
Why,
I'm alive,
and still I breathe
in the midnight hour.
I want to touch you,
tear into your skin,
don't stop until I get enough,
I was born from original sin.
Don't be cruel
to a heart that's true,

Where is this, that conflicts...

Our Maureen sits,
At an old kitchen table
She’d say: “I love you,”
If she were able
But she missed her chance,

She cried herself sober,
And ran back to her hovel
She ran her hand through her...
