As the Castle Fell
For every step I take toward the sun,
the spark that lit the fire inside me dwindles.
History slated on unforgiving stone erodes;
A weakly chiseled dream.
But I will remember it all,
and tongues shall breed these words
and hold...

Into the woods we ventured, where darkness began to encircle us,
Their ancient murmurs mingling with the forest’s ominous chorus.
A chilling breeze, as if the very breath of the woods sighed,
Veiled in tempestuous clouds, the stars...

In the heart of the country, a veil of mystery and melancholy floats,
And threading along the leaf of life, these methods seem a sinister symphony.
Open borders, and immigration comes like an underground current,
On the paths...

Ready, Set, Please Don'T Go Because I'M Not
I’ve always been your little girl,
Even now that I’m an adult.
Yes, I know I’ll always be your baby,
And I grew up way too fast.
But there’s something I can’t stop from happening dad,
And in some ways...

Dear ......,

Many eyes of different color
see images and give them meaning;
reality is the clearest perception,
which brings on its sweetness,
and often an unacceptable bitterness:
I have given these reflective eyes
a choice and a challenge:  to either

Eradicated, exquisite, hypocritical, and divine
Given your own heart --- but not given your own mind

Slaving through this lifetime to just rush to the next
Disqualified, degraded, and generation-hexed

Unintelligent, psycho, and deranged
When you open your eyes ---...

Narrow, twisted and dusty be the road.
Three aged and wise stood,
They argued terribly one with the other.
No light shined in the void.
Shadows be cast no longer.

Beauty is the true.

Vision of My Might
On my straw-like comfort,
With smudges just beneath the lids.

While the wind’s strength dwindles in its bid.
My ears muffled up to its opening
As musical sensations tingle it.
Same it did from a kit,...

I hate hoodrats,
To me they are no match.
