where the moonlight stops to rest its weary wings,
and time seems an illusion, a grain of sand lost in the hourglass of eternity,

Cruel Jewel
...Sign of new tomorrows?
The old ones may just say.
Agony, pain, sore sorrows!
Doubt, dread and dismay!
Wilted flower, came the rain?
Death, ye did disdain!
Thunderbolts across the main!
Bligh...

The Efflorescence of a Half Moon Love
...The Efflorescence of a Half-Moon Love
An immutable desire to awaken and experience the night’s breath…
Where saddened petals elate at the ability to whisper open at the cusp of dawn.
I reach to ...

Tonight I Cried

Tonight I cried.
The silence after giving was louder than my music ever dared to be.
Six cards, six names—none turned toward me.
I asked why. The void answered with its back.
Tonight I ...

Possessed
...My eyes followed her. They wouldn't behave.
Her strut, her smile, a wicked challenge gave.
The angel on my shoulder warned, "femme fatale",
telling me kindly, "this time, let me make the call".

Ashes of Despair
...In the shadows of a fading room,
Lies a heart, a fragile thread in gloom.
Time, the thief, steals moments away,
Leaving whispers of love in decay.
Bridges once burned now smolder and twis...

its flames rage loose in the wind

Eyes of the Beholder
...Staring through,
Eyes so new.
Forgive me,
For judging you.
We've been trained to,
Single out the few,
who dont fit the view.
Picking them apart,
Like the vultures do.

Neither hot to smolder

Last Love

in mind and in my heart, once in a while;
that organ is not easy to deceive;

Life is one messed up ting
...I've Given Up
I’ve given up on chasing stars,
On mending scars with broken jars.
The weight of dreams too far to reach,
Has stolen words I used to preach.
I’ve given up on morning light,

I guess that's why I read it
in the end I just would rather
read it than have to live it
better to have loved and lost ...

From the wells extract'd virginity untouch'd

Precious real estate taking us over
Seeking consolation never to find
Through senses deceptively hence smolder
Stagnant in solitude, whisper’s wonder
