VanillaUnfit for the sunlit
Visions once bestowed
Guilt has me split
Where reason once flowed
Circles were brighter
Now a hollow parade
Knots draw tighter
As thoughts start to fade
Worthless endeavor
Half-formed at best
Tumbleweed untethered
Cursed with unrest
No spark to savor
Just the same charade
Endless vanilla flavor
As the colors all fade
No more to barter
Encompassed in grey
Rationale takes harbor
As wishes drift away...

Still Blinking IIIFirst, remove the eyelids—
they hold too much fiberglass.
Grind streetlight into gunpowder,
cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk.
Take the sidewalk like heretic communion,
metal-flake wine, asphalt host.
She blinks razors.
Stars break in her clavicle.
You don’t touch her—you calibrate.
Banana fingers, bruised and humming,
plucking vapor off the fencepost.
Storm-laced teeth.
Voice as hinge,
breath as cordless vacuum
throat tightrope over a cheap
motel dirty...

Some Stories Don’t Need an Ending
It’s strange, isn’t it?
How someone can live in your heart for years,
Without even realizing it.
I wasn’t looking for a fairytale.
I wasn’t expecting fireworks,
Or a dramatic confession under the rain.
All I ever wanted…
Was to matter to you.
To have a place in your life
That felt a little more permanent.
But here we are.
After all this time,
You look at...

Already LostI was given a map with no land,
a compass that spun to the music of sneers,
a torch that devoured its own flame,
and told: Go win!—
in a whisper stitched with grins and stitched again with forgetting.
My shoes were born backwards,
laces tied to the heelbone of regret;
the starting line a mirage sewn on the horizon,
a ribbon of...

Big Blue CowI saw her in a meadow high
Where red flowers touch the sky
Her eyes were mournful, so much inside
I looked within, skepticism died
(chorus)
I'm in love with a big blue cow
And a big blue cow loves me
She don't have a job, but she survives
Without that college degree
She don't take drugs, and she don't drink
We agree about politics,...

My FateLyrics by JT Curtis Performed by Ann Icarus
My Fate
As I sit here in this room
Dark and lonely,
Contemplate
Thinking too much
This can't wait
Carefully planning
My Escape
I write down words
That no one will read
about a love
that no one will feed
So, I'll just sit here
with a pocket of seed
Escaping to a place to
grow
As...

Bad ideas never dieSocial Media influencers on the racist right
said us Jews control radio and TV
That we rot the roots of morality’s tree,
The implication is clear; there’s no society free.
One TV personality invited a guy
who spouted reasons for Hitler's views
As the real deal, I wonder why
So much dumping on the Jews
They talk of the 'noticing' -...

Freedom for Hong Kong, lyrics[Verse]
Air-ball, foul, listen to the referee
No free throw from the key
Sit in this corner for time out
Check by your names and throw a pout
Hopscotch, Tik Tok
Social media around the clock
For freedom of press
For freedom to express
but there is a distress
And we both are in need
Yell and shout for liberty
But here currently
The support is...

Logic in MistI sat down with a notebook
A soft buzz in my head
Words were there
Then slipped away
Like smoke through fingers
Disappearing into thin air
Ideas floated just out of reach
Like clouds in a sky too bright
Drifting…
Never landing…
The pen hovered, touching the paper
Then the ink ran
Like a dream fading at dawn
I tried to grasp
A thought or spark
It unraveled…
A tangled thread...

Some say it's wherever your hat is laid
I say home is that special place
Wherever you find your way
It might be where you...

The Unhoused Street Musician Of BudapestWhenever I spot
red-bearded Origin,
the unhoused street musician
of Budapest who asks for a donation,
not making a protest with a grin;
don't be amazed if I'm the first
to drop coins in his empty cup:
does anybody, not in a rush, ever stop
and give him some attention?
Does he ever feel humiliation?
He's too young to...
