When Leadership Forgot Her Name
Leadership once stood tall, but somewhere along the corridor, she traded her spine for shadows. She no longer knocked on doors— she simply erased names from the walls. Silence became her secretary, whispering commands into group chats, tapping shoulders not with words, but with the cold breath of removal. Silence, that quiet tyrant, sat beside me and said nothing, as my seat was given away. Respect— oh, Respect...

In the Arms of Darkness
Night wraps me softly in her arms, Whispering secrets, weaving charms. She cradles echoes in my chest, A quiet breath, a gentle rest. Her cloak conceals my hidden scars, Each one a story traced by stars. She treads with footsteps calm and slow, Through empty halls where shadows grow. By day, she hides behind the sun, But when the world is overrun, She dons my...

Springs Cradle
Earth yawns as she cradles Nature, swaying gently her limbs in quiet search of Hope, tilting in smothered rays she sighs, listening to the breaths of loves breeze, without voice she hums her melodies, as lullabies gently rock her world back to sleep, smiling at her reflection In your eyes. ...

I had to buy her a furry robe. It makes me sneeze, but she cares not. She refuses to let me dig her out. I am terrified of...

I look at my work. I look down on the valley. I'm proud of its richness, of its green fertile fields, And each time I do, I can count up the tally. My sacrificial top's loss produces great yield. There's beauty in the valley, in its farms and trees. Morning fog gives it a mythical seduction. Yet though I remember how...

Summer and Spring
Sublime summer is arriving, The darling daisies are gossiping Laying on the sill of the silly window, The sun is complimenting them excessively, The blush is lustrous and lurking. Summer is shimmering on its way, Spring is packing her suitcase, Ready to leave, She doesn't get along with her sister, Summer's soar sight Can make Spring blind. Spring loves her eyes So she's absolutely...

Hey there dope fiends, It’s me, your addiction. The thing you can’t live without. Your job has tied you to me. The out of town family would think something was all wrong if you didn’t stroke me on a daily. My superficial voice lets them know in no uncertain terms that you’re alive. But they really don’t go past...
