He took a walk to see the view. They found a sock. A rose, he threw. Blue was the sky - the ocean, too. He wondered why. They found a shoe. A bluff so high, an eagle flew. He could not fly. His love was true. A blood-red rose, and then he knew, and so time froze. The tide withdrew....

i was a clock. not flashy, not loud. just mine. time passed the way i let it— slow, careful, soft. each tick a heartbeat. each hour a boundary. then he came. not with kindness, not with care— with want. with hands like force, like he thought time would bend if he pushed hard enough. he didn’t ask what hour i was in. he didn’t care that i wasn’t ready. he took...

Sex as the Controller** They heard us outside the bedroom window— Breathing, moaning, panting, grunting, and screaming In the stillness of the night, calling out the names of the Gods. Salty sweat dripped from our bodies Under the Caribbean heat waves, many moons ago— What a summer to remember! Yet...

He Choose to Grow Weak Could you help me understand the complexities of our actions? When joy fills our hearts, we radiate positivity, but when sadness washes over us, it feels like an ache that permeates our very being (Proverb 17:22). How can we support you if we remain in the dark about your feelings? You often...

I slept at the foot of the mountain, There’s cheese in the trap waiting, Bait out the prey, Counting out every second it’s taking. Haven’t ate in several days, In a week. Listen for the snap, Now there’s dinner in the trap waiting. I forgot my second language, Guess I have nothing worth saying. Thank god for...

They moved like dawn through shadowed years, With quiet hands and blazing hearts, Their dreams outshone the weight of fears, They rewrote fate in fractured parts. Marie lit atoms' trembling core, Her lantern glowed through science' veil; While Rosa sat and shook the war Of silence—made the strong rails pale. Malala, bright with sharpened pen, Still sings where tyrants silence books; Jane healed the lives...

You never said "I'm leaving" You never said "good-bye" You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart I hold a place That only you can fill It broke my heart to lose you But you didn't go alone A part of me went with you The day...

Disconsolate obsidian waves crash over crumbling dunes, Sweeping afflicted grains of sand back into the depths, Dragging my paralysed soul with them. Engulfed in despondent riptides, I gasp for oxygen amongst rippling currents, As a fiery moon hangs precariously overhead. Blood-red reflections illuminate the stark waters, While calls of the lost sing to me, Like sirens beckoning sailors to their doom— Louder and louder,...

She taught me to pray with hands that bruised the bread and sometimes, me. The kitchen smelled of cinnamon, but the corners were quiet with grief. I was loved--loudly, then not at all. Her laugh could warm a whole December, but silence followed when I needed June. She carried me like gospel, until I questioned her scripture. Then, I became her quiet sin. Still-- I make her biscuits...

Sadly what you think you see, Is based off the opinions of the world's decrees, If you search from the outside and not from within, If you don't erase the biased opinions before you begin, The idea of the outside settles and starts to paint the picture, And if you never wiped away the thought the heart will go back...

I've come to see that life is a journey A destinationless one Guided not by compass or map But by the steps we take as we move. We often choose the well-worn path Drawn to where the crowd has gone. Others dare the lesser roads Chasing the thrill of the unknown. Afraid of what I couldn’t see I chose the road most traveled Not to...

The day, the soil lab took care of him, and I sighed Categorical exclusion, You were there, but almost Nye! My outspoken, my hidden, my own darker trace My grace, rancid disgrace, my song and my own mess Did I ever tell you? I loved you with all my heart, I loved you all! I had no desire, there, my...

I strolled into Hell like a VIP/ Satan said, "what's this nonsense I see"/ "Bro, I out evil you", I smirked with glee/ Then he rage-quit chess, forfeiting to me/ God gasped, his jaw hit the floor/ "I designed Satan, what is this lore"/ I shrugged, "he misplayed the Sicilian once more"/ "Then fell for a joke about the grocery store"/ He plotted...
