The Petals Hurt Too
Each petal cuts me in my sleep— you call it soft, but I bleed every time I touch it. The mirror doesn’t cry with me anymore. Only the fog stays. It hums like a swallowed scream. ...

Lost
My heart is lost in depth of woes, While sorrows echo loud. As tears descend with silent throes~ Beneath a veil of cloud. In the dark I grope for my lost heart, But it's slipped beyond my firm grip. Each tear I shed softens its grave, And deeper it sinks, out of reach. My misery drums a hollow grief, No hope of joy or...

The Corner
Lurking In the shadow Of the corner Of the room In the dim In the gloom Lurking Waiting In the shadow Of the corner Of the room In the dim In the gloom Waiting Watching In the shadow Of the corner Of the room In the dim In the gloom Watching Me. ...

A Sip, and a Farewell
I drank a sip of coffee from the hand of that gentle beloved— and with it, I said goodbye. Yet the bitterness of parting never fades from memory. Grief beads like blood on the brow of longing. I wander the alleys of your love, seeking union— my sighs and sorrows rising past the seventh sky. Time gave me nothing but a goblet filled with blood. Perhaps it has vowed to...

Silence
Silence is the absence of energy No vibration, movement, or synergy Nature muted, physics frozen Molecular loss of motion Stillness, cessation, yet more Peaceful quiet we adore Or the calm before the storm A meditation to perform Tranquility without a note No rhythm or tempo to denote Without melody or harmony A sad musical larceny No instrument, no voice to sing No string to pluck or bell to...

The Poisoning of My Mind
There are days the sun drags itself across the sky like a wounded thing, and I follow behind it, meek as a shadow no one asked for. My feet walk the same road to the mailbox, rocky and too long, and still I walk it. Beside me, the hemlock grows. Tall and soft, almost beautiful. It does not beckon. It does not need...

Survival
Sometimes it’s hard Do go on trying– To put my soul into my work, Only to have it torn apart– Discarded at my feet Sometimes it’s hard To go on dreaming Of better things to come When so much of what’s happened now Has left me hurt and hollow Sometimes it’s hard To go on smiling Like everything’s okay, Not knowing if I’ll still be able To feed...

The Fantasy of Loss
Inside the shadows where the chilling winds sigh, My IMAGINATION weaves a fading face— A ghost I conjure beneath the ashen sky, Gone with the DREAM no morning could dare replace. A silken REVERIE that is soft and stark, Consumes the bright light your laughter used to give. Now silence blooms where WHIMSY embraced the dark, And life's memories decide the way...

Too much pain wrestles in my dark, forcing limps that stifle my spark. Trekking "the long and winding road," I seek You for a faith reload. Praising Your road paved with faith's seed, I will find where pain does recede. ...

Lonely, naked, in the corn fields, a stranger to this new awakening, stitching upon new found flesh, upon the recently perished dead. A bloody vessel cannot sail, and the pull-ness from the tide, and the fields whip the wind gale, and this leaves the shape open blind the blind-ness sees with open shut eyes spinning sweet, saliva, to our child-hood waifa innocence turns to antics, bronze bleeding...

The Crushing Crash
I got crashed; I became crashed; There must be some reason; I endured when I was lashed; Still, all slandered me of treason. I get flown by the Pilot, Who, too, succumbed with me; Tooth and nail he had fought, But who won was destiny. It’s a world that’s too strange, Of course, in the negative way; Slaughter is beyond my range; I can’t even think...

Junco
You see me sitting in silence, but never ask what I’ve lost to be quiet. I smile like a habit — behind it, a heart held together with breath. The shadows walk with me kindly, hiding the parts I can’t bear to show....

Purple Rain
I can be a headache. A match lit at 1,000 degrees. I'm sorry I never meant you any harm. Even if I inflicted pain and made you bleed. Allow me to minister the band-aid to your arm. I believed in you to perform all of your glories We all as people have dreams within It sucks that this...
