But you didn’t return those tender feelings

Because he landed so high on the wall
But I’m about to show him just how small
He truly is when I make him fall
All because of a fly on the...

strangers passing by

So I gaze at the moon
Call me moon gazer,
Following my foot steps
To Hiding in the forests
All for Gathering...

Two souls can never bore one heart
When two worlds collide they will dance around each other
Testing and pushing
As a person crossing the street sees a car...

Devile Soul
My heart, in a slimey slum of a demon pit.
Devils, who know me by name, start to taunt.
They mock, "funny how your heart can't take a hit."
they continue to hackle, "You can't even...

I am in all a moderate man, a noted country gentleman'
with all the accoutrements, a house, a farm and gout.

Shenika Sims and Marty King: Going In Circles In My Mind
SHENIKA SIMS
going in circles in my mind
jumping over puddles
doing carwheels in multiples of three
thinking of you can't you see
my artwork has more positive themes
my heart medicinally skips beats so it seems
cannot wait to pack suitcases

Why Love and Never Love Again
Why love and never love again
Tears reach down and drown out memory
My heart pulled down and out in tidal forces
Raw feelings cause trembling on the lakes sad reaches
Ripplings of waves cause no relief...

A Muse's Gentle Nudge
As you walk through this misted valley,
and discover a haze, everything here surreal,
you hear a voice, one out of faerie;
question what you believe to be real.
At a loss for words, but compelled to...

Awakening
It's dark.
Even through closed lids I've perceived the
monotonous treachery
the day has in store.
I suppress a moan within my chest,
and my bones creak with illusory age.
Another dawn which is not
impedes upon my shallowest slumber.
The persistent...

shattering the darkness and breaking into blue

Seedless Memories
As I draw back the needle
that familiar smell of alcohol
takes me back through the years
this cloudy substance
swirls like the emotions of mind
