Walked Away for Peace
I walked away not free from snags caused by those in authority, but to be free from cruelty to save my spirit against evilness  And injustice in power's grip Tied up by abusive six sprawling  division in command, footsteps no trace, only an echo weeping soul in the dusk! Harsh words dug deeper into my soul— sickening insults to my inner self— a burden carried within the shadowed kingdom. So...

Walking Away
It’s not easy walking away Its not harder to feel alone I have words with no way to say There is a world and just my home I did not look back I did not want to say goodbye Courage perhaps or wisdom lack Without words… can I still lie? Each step… each thought Brings me closer and further I’m free yet caught Was walking away...

All that I am I gave away For just to come and see The ever-dying summer day With sunlight through your tree You’ve gone, but on the record Your voice remains with me It takes about split second To change the time, to be Back in the endless days To see again your smile You’re talking through November haze I answer from July.. ...

Locked Away
Walking across a college campus classes done till Fall I hear those lessons never taught on winds that truth recalls The questions that we used to prize now locked away in files To favor dogma’s jagged edge — in deaf self-serving bile (Villanova University: July, 2025) ...

A Statement May Be a Question
He slipped away? Or did they take him? Stranger things have happened, have they not? Why do I ask so many questions of myself? Or am I asking questions of him? I could make statements. He went off of his own accord. This is one of his stranger happenings. I have to ask so many questions. So, this could be a question. Or is...

To my sleep that has slipped away
Time was not far we would get into bed, Put head on to pillow and fall asleep Under the grace and by Morpheus aided, Unto another world in one smooth leap Embraced by Hypnos, in a state higher. Why O sleep, hast thou slipped away from life, In bed, eyes shut, my mind when fights false fire— In digital orchestra...

Premium Member Dipping in to Slip Slide Away
Time drips drops of sorrow like engine oil. It coats the gears of yesterday's labor, keeping grinding on forward in a regular way, slip, slip sliding away. Tears unbind the spindle of memory’s wheel. Dreams, frozen in candle wax, melt in the sun’s heat, causing memories to slink and drip, slip, slip sliding away. Hands clutch hard,...

Beyond the Gaze
The world demands identity— a name, a face, a history. But in its grip, you lose your way, and shame is what they make you pay. They drag your truth into the light, then twist it wrong and call it right. They dress you up in guilt and fear, then whisper lies for all to hear. A coin of shadow tempts the soul, Whispers...
