There are many "cures" for depression, some of them are drugs from a pharmacist, and others are creations by a loving God.

Quietness seeps in through the walls,
Reflective and nurturing, sure that her promises will glisten…

Her eyes had no sparkle
She walked ignorant of the fact

Of her form
The sheer beauty of...

She took death hard
She gave up on living.
Though hoping for a miracle
She was praying for a blessing.
Seemed all her future plans. 
Washed-out with tides that rolled away.

Do you still wonder 
now that you’ve been washed out
into fate’s unforgiving seas
why you were sentenced to a life
you swore was in the wrong body?
Living in the wrong body is a natural crime

Straight lines, sepia

The suppression of unwanted thoughts

Like time spent in sensory deprivation
Time spent in a droning room

After laying, 
my mother to rest, 
in her bed of pine, 
how I detest, 
that she sleeps, 
so deep,
so peacefully,  
leaving me behind.

Her abuse stays,

always irritating me.

On the paths of sheol again.
The rewards of death; my hands regain.

You leave me after we make love
Moonbeam falls 
A poet shares my sorrow

Wicked parrot
Season of rain
