Crown of Sonnets
Fading Away the Mark of Misery
I must admit
You left me broken…
I am shattered shards,
Spread out on your hands…
Your sweaty palms of uncertainty at hand
But, we will land in a land of I-understand…
Make a stand and things won’t get out of...

recognizin’ you, realizing somethin’ more
Deliberately recognizing the sun against the moonbeams
I see your eyes gleam and your happiness screams
Into my eager ears over the years and I’m tension-whelmed with the tears I shed
Hanging at the last thread, giving in...

Cash
I feel much like trash
When I’m not earning cash
Can’t you see I’m working hard, Lord?
According to Your will, according to Your accord
I feel like I’m worthless
When I’m unable to clean up my mess
Can’t you see...

To Belong Is a Harmonious Bravery
A sense of belonging
Is amongst your nobility
Peaceably, truly longing
To give praise to You entirely
Take me all the way with your sway of youth
Give me physical poetry, please, beyond the truth
You are more priceless...

You Hurt My Feelings
Father, you hurt my feelings
It looks as if you don’t care that I’m alone
Melodic, hopeful bird sings,
So I listen and feel at home, all on my own
The tune of tranquility will drain away the...

Ground Level Entry
"Ground Level Entry"
“She fits the bill”,
they say it
insouciantly
visions of being
carried in the beak
of a bilious pelican
where it builds
its rudimentary nest,
it uses sticks and debris
no stones, yet,
from irreverence
thrown at it
no higher...

Graveyard Whimsy
The years have passed quietly,
Moments poured out in timeless winds,
Falling from my spirit, shadows,
Wistful, blurred images, photographs,
Twisting, turning, trembling,
Black and white, tinted presences
Of those I know, those I’ve known,
Some gone, some old, some broken...

Better To Let Go
Literally feeling like dying of boredom…
Feeling like a freak, unleashing dumb foolishness while drunk on rum
My noggin is full of negativity and positivity mixed together

free to feel the way I feel
You don’t know how it feels
To be misunderstood and jaded
You won’t ever know till it kills you inside
To you, I speak words of wisdom
And it feels like I’m a million miles away
Just to feel isolated...

From Grime To Shine
My heart is glimmering glass,
Shattered in your hands
Our love grew like green grass…
On many terrestrial lands
I am a diamond of imperfection…prone to rejection…
Make me whole and beautiful
Because I’ve been an empty soul
A worthless,...

How deserted lies the city, once so full of people!
How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces, has now become a slave.
Bitterly she weeps...

I Ain'T a Game To Play With - Chapter 1 - Betrayal Snipped Heart Strings

Left
Worried about the past reoccurring
Worried about the future, not that reassuring
Why does it burn so immensely?
Why does it hurt so lamentably?

Apparently, you don’t see where I stand
You don’t care and watch...
