The little voice begging for love and freedom from classroom is mine
I  am a child 
Who harbours unspoken words and wavered feelings in my heart
If you let my spirit out of this cage, a...

Death
Death derives from destruction, 
And cannot occur without proper instruction, 
It scares us all in many ways, 
Happening everyday during 365 days,
Naturally you feel no pain,
Making your friends and family go insane,
It's like a flower...

Mother's Are the Strongest Women I Ever Known Them To Be
She takes unbearable
pain, in the worst way possible.
Most may say it's 
a beautiful thing, but 
what about the one
who never made it?
She will be 
remembered as the 
bravest soldier, who
fought extremely hard 
and lost her...

Learning a heart beats makes life go fast
My heart beats twice as fast as you think

over my grandmother's wet face
in the rain in a crowd...

Banshee Crow
At first I thought it was the gales
That howled into the night,
But then the banshee's keening wails
Broke all the glass in sight

I hopped from bed up to the sill
To see what I could see

Another man has passed away,
Another soul has passed away without casting a silhouette.
Another son is growing into another man,
Who will one day pass away like all those before him.

In Carolina a young man’s journey began.
Today in Mississippi was it’s end.
Dressed in the best he had, 
they returned an old man to the ground;
in the shade of a white oak,
Ginseng berries all around.

When All Was Said and Done

Who was there? 
A gleaming friend in the nights of sorrow
And in the depths of despair?

As you took each sip?

Heavy downpour
Wet departure;
Final moments

~~~~~~~~~


A family death
Sorrowful faces;
Painful hollow

~~~~~~~~~


Hands heavy
Supermart groceries;
Rainy way home

~~~~~~~~~


Hurl of new day
Voices call;
Outside in

~~~~~~~~~


Teary feelings
Late goodbyes;
Gone forever

~~~~~~~~~


Sparkle here
Boulevard trees;
Welcome home

~~~~~~~~~


Tea house culture
Invigorating flavours;
Potent brew

~~~~~~~~~


Eatery deals
Fine takeaway;
Bland happiness

~~~~~~~~~


Risky business
No time to lose;
Prosper well

My death wish

Death may come faster
Than I expected,
Family,
I know I am nothing but a burden,
I can see it in your eyes.

Please stay away from my funeral
With your vial tongues
Your insane minds
and your want for attention.
