Calendrical CasinoTen.

fearing the phone's ring.

learning how goodbye really felt.

forty-four days ago.
Forty.
Forty, my brother was,
for fifty-seven days.
That's all he got...
and that feels like all for me.
I'm terrified,...

Identity CrisisWould you remember me
When there's not much of me left?
When I'm faded,
Like a rock chipped away by erosion.
Would you remember me
When you're almost unrecognisable?
When I don't think I know who you are anymore;
Like a tree...

Cloning TomorrowMankind
was never meant
to survive the future
Technology
a trap
their greed as bait
Generations
sacrificed
in self destruction
On altars
of indenture
— their natures gone

Times They Are A-Changing
Some people are devious
They skirt around the truth
But never actually say what they mean
I'm assuming because of an ulterior motive
Or it's a lack of understanding
I would hope it's the latter

Growing from manmade furniture,
But surely the piece of furniture was made...

Lost MomentsHow do you start over
consumed by the end
Beginnings aborted
as judgment portends
Desperately hiding
alone and distraught
For all of those presents

Smokey Filled Speak Easy
In the dim-lit alley of the soul's bazaar,
Were jazz and jive spill from ajar,
We tap our feet, snap fingers, under stars,
And speak in verses, raw and without pause.
The city breathes, a living, pulsing beat,
Its heart...

locked in the sands of timeOut of the past came a voice,
A voice that was hushed by time.
It said to me in a voiceless plea,
We are the ones that went before.
The ones who were once loved and adored.
Our lives were...
