Wailed Poems

Grey, dank days create,
Time heals, does pass by,
Gloom sees end to each sigh,

Tears of the Forest

Bug Eyes

...

   The fly swatter is out,
   Bugs are all about.
   How could that be,

Though somewhere on the restless mai...

An accomplishment to boast
We once dreamed against our woes
Now we raise a final toast

To all of our friends lost
Fighting for what we already won
However we paid the ...

A Death I Dream

...An hour past midnight,
She rushed out of the head-storming library,
With a numb body, she drove hard, pretending he no longer mattered.
Still he ignored her, as always.
