She was born with the whole sky in her hands, soft fingers reaching for a world that hadn’t yet told her no. Her first breath was limitless— the kind of infinite that only newborns know, before the world shrinks them down, before the weight of it all settles into their bones. She could have been anything. A girl who laughed, who danced, who...

You flounce as if you were an ostrich fan all fluffed up on the page waving at posterity. I nibble at your chicken livers, occasionally swing from your bell-ringing images that dare to delight me, but you peck at words too much and those long pauses when you take a bow are tedious. Sorry to see that you are dead, when you were alive reviewing your work was a lot...

My flesh is screaming, if the cancer is me, Then cut me out and set me free. No more to endure The sight of the shore, While drowning capsized out at sea. If I let myself go, limbs aching and slow, So close to that shore, Then no more I’ll know Of those I have missed Of faces unkissed Of drowning in tears of sorrow But to...

I have been treading the water of the universe For 15,845 days Head slightly above the water Arms and legs in a frantic dance for survival You can tell yourself that at some point you will stop There must be a stopping point, right? The time to float seems like a luxury you have earned But for today, day 15,845 you will...

Treading hard in a sea of lies With anchor feet and foggy eyes, Can we yet float another day With no ship to take us away? When seas were calm, we saw the shore. With swelling seas, we see no more Midst waves of tergiversation That inundate our great nation. Flotsam and jetsam next us ride, Floating, helpless, on surging tide; The framework of Old...

Be careful what you wish for Sometimes you’re better Left in the dark Stethoscope around his neck In his pristine white coat Treading lightly with bedside manner Report in one hand Here it comes The results are in Brutally knocking the wind Out of my sail AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on January 24, 2020...

my thoughts like tires on icy roads spin out of control colliding against banks of mind my heart somber like this day lingers within the puddles of soul's tears like rain on this road streaming downhill...

Yet Ever Onward, Onward Keep Treading We Must Any moment we may lose a love one so dear so exists that long black hand of foreboding fear. Yet not until it comes into our lives and rips away that treasure, do we see its icy grips! Invisible claws slash to send into decay forever gone tho' in agony we oft pray. And...

Swimming in a sea of pain Doing laps inside a brain Corrupted by a loneliness A soul has ever-long repressed Every time I push through a wave I consider that which I gave To a life of yesterday With ghosts that linger as they prey Upon the essence of my soul Making it impossible to be whole...

The tides come and go, as the moon says hello and goodbye. The water rises and falls, as the sun comes to live and die. She just treads on, drifting through the sea. She just treads on, for weak she cannot be. The sting of her betrayal brings tears that fall like rain; The broken hopes of tomorrow bring...

The heaven they preach Is no haven to man but hell, Their tongues sweeter than honey Who can resist the melody When they paint their world to taste in rainbow colors Singing glory glory glory Preaching the word according to their world One-heart less Astute in their chicanery, they have a face Colorfully charming as a chameleon The bait be-jeweled with treasure Their words up...
