...In the mine of silence,                 
within the furnace of pain,

by the tre...

The pain of my color screams in silence the secrets thes...

BARRICADE

...On scarred walls, memory torn apart,
Stones bleed the wear of harsh surrender,

Autopsy of our love

...our love was a corpse
left to rot in the gutter
festered wounds seeping rot
the stench of our decay
clings to our skin

Unzipped

Defiled by being stuffed into a sac so tight,
A confinement that suffocates, a desperate plight.

Hope, that makes me brea...

If I have them on me? 

Inseparable, heavy beads, 
Bulgy with shady teats.

I sit alone, wrapped in the solitude of Monday mornings,
While presidents speak of honor, culture, and dedication,
And their words are echoes...

Not a calm, deep river, lush with fish and plants, flowing by gently and powerfully...but
