Poverty Nyc
Frigid temperatures drop
Wind chill in low digits
Park benches become co-ops
Under newspaper blankets a man fidgets
Trying to make the best of the hand he was dealt
Man, he’s felt so many lows
Now he’s just looking to sew...

Bewildered by the sting of betrayal,
your fears are dragged from the shadows
for all to see,
and reason races through the gauntlet of choices available;
each a dagger piercing your heart.

Sirens Calls
I’m a cleverly cloaked demon, seraph skinned.
You’re my seductress with your songs luring me in.

Last Night's Secret
A sudden darkness veiled the world below.
Luna was defused by a shadowed sky,
giving cause for Earth to be wrought with woe.
