and have nowhere else to flee...

Don’t You Dare Stay, Don’t You Dare LeaveI didn’t ask you to come.
You came anyway--
like sympathy could scrub
the blood off my breath.
Don’t you see?
My grief is mine.
You’re holding tissues
like they matter.
You’re speaking
like you understand.
You don’t.
Not the burn. Not the echo.
Let me fall.
Let me break and
crawl through it--
I need the splinters
to feel like proof
that I was touched at all.
And yet,
if you leave now
I...

To a future LoverI am watching 3 inches off of the floor,
The man outside waits at my door
I know the screams from within the box
Howl and call upon your order upon the rocks
But I know you can hold your tongue 'till the end of the night
And I know you can wait until I seem right.
Feel your spite,...

GraceA cold, snowy night in Advent.
I kneel at the altar, alone
in the church warm with the breath
of old wood and worn prayers.
The pages of the book
soften under my fingers.
Behind me, the silent nave.
Still, I speak the words aloud,
as though the empty pews listen,
as though grace leans in,
hungry for a voice.
And in the middle of...

Alone tonightthe rain to keep me company
I reap the silence of the night
the mystery of its realm
the idleness of walking
and meandering
to walk the streets alone
haunted by your memory
and that somehow keeps me sane
when morning comes
and still you're gone
i somehow make it through the day
and only long for sunset
to start again my quest
for the fading memory of...

Lonely StreetsThe streets were bustling with people.
out of curiosity my ears tried to catch some noise
Alas,
All it heard was pure silence.
There were no chirping of the birds.
There were no barking of the dogs.
There were no sound of people chattering & quarrelling.
Just .....................my thoughts...

Lonely LightThe light falls on as I fall asleep unbeknownst of what lies ahead,
My eyes close shut and the darkness engulfs,
Carefully wrapping me up in its warm embrace.
But light comes and takes away that warmth.
Leaving me all alone in the cold terrace....

War is never the solutionBorders are lines drawn in dust,
but the wails of war ride the wind—
no map can contain a scream.
War does not choose a side;
it is a fire that devours both hearth and forest.
One body may bleed,
but the other's soul turns to ash.
From far behind velvet curtains
and polished screens,
war looks like a chessboard—
moves, strategy, gain.
But at the...

Solitude, My Inner Kingdom"Solitude, My Inner Kingdom"
From life's dawn, my steps chose desolate paths,
Far from others' merry dance beneath the sun.
Laughter in the distance, and I - a silent melody,
Begun by no one, a solitary symphony.
The brook's murmur spoke in unknown tongues,
Others heard only water flowing gently downstream.
In rustling leaves, I discovered cryptic symphonies,
An inner world, accessible only...

You carved your smile into my solitudeYou carved your smile into my solitude, the chisel of your memory digging deep into the marble of silence,
Leaving orchids to bloom in the cracks of my pain, petals of hope in the desert of sadness,
You were not a lover, but a rebirth, a sudden awakening from the sleep of a monotonous and gray life,
A...

Lost loveToday I saw a bird,
looking for food in the cold,
to feed his hungry wife,
without knowing she’s no longer alive.
Oh, how sad he will be,
I bet he’d be crying,
searching for her but failing,
for I saw her in the cemetery,
waiting for him,
realizing the grim....

living in a nightmare, XIXillusion of a palmful of pills and confirmation clicks for the make-believe bliss
leave a mocking kiss on my delusional cheeks
smile for the lover's hiss because everybody sleeps
at the point the lies will blow out of your lips
then he stopped caring without an early notice
dry drawn hearts and unpaid fees
forever comes a long road, difficult to...
