Of all the memories you Yr first kiss
You go through life with its ups and downs
Sharing the worries the...

Lost BetweenThe backside
of tomorrow
The frontside
of today
Every look
retelling
Of what the past
betrays
Caught within
the doldrums
All time fades
in the mist
Until that day
that ends itself
And nothing more
— exists

UnfinishedSunlight spills
onto the hardwood,
seeping through a crack
of the hallway’s last door.
Steps echoing heartbeats,
click, click; click, click,
a building crescendo
like coming thunder.
A hesitant nudge
spreads the door's gap,
releasing an ominous creak
with a surge of sun.
The thick silence
swallows the...

Come Back to MeI have made my decisions in this life I'm living.
Put forth my best to bring you happiness,
but I'm still giving.
I watch my family regather,
Sharing moments of joy and laughter.
I too am pursuing what everyone's after—

your dark eyes speak of your loneliness in this strange land
your lips whisper within yourself your desires
when they should be screaming out loud for justice

The Empty RoomThe room beckons to me,
Its silence speaks to me,
There’s a volume in its emptiness,
A mystery in its void.
The past is revealed,
The hidden is shown,
I see children in a meadow,
Playing in the embrace of twilight.
There’s a...

Pieces of a dream
Now and then things remind me.
Of a time, none could find me.
And the place where your eyes did.
In the raw candor of summer.
Where wine and secrets poured.
Out of your mouth.
Into a somnium reverb.
As the night...

I'll bring Sunflowers
calling on you, Dear.
Bouquet sworn vows
until promises wear
time's ragged edge
begs my suicide flight
from top floor ledge
I miss...

Shape Shifting SoulThe songs I sang in my lives before,
still I hear sometimes in my dreams,
the silence I know from times past,
had voices that once spoke to my soul,
the tears are memories that rain through,
but the sadness...

My LoveYou were going to be my forever,
Had a whole life planned for us,
You made me lighter than a feather,
Floating, loved, careless.
All my life waiting for the girl of my dreams,
Finally found my one and only,

What I believedLooking back, I shouldn't be surprised at all;
thinking of the lies they claimed were gospel true:
Humpty Dumpty didn't sit upon the wall,
families don't really live inside a shoe,
Jack and Jill just made it up about...

FarewellHe’s the same, as usual
What a boring man
Utterly delusional
Is his far-fetched plan
Sitting in the arm chair
With his eyes shut
Doesn’t seem he’s there
Where his body’s at
Would you like to tell him
What he didn’t know
If it could...
