Reflected back Hold the picture still Memories more fluent Tales of the past Float to the top Hurt... Anger... Then comes love When we had it together When nothing mattered Puddles of sadness Staining your cotton Thoughts of leaving Paired with bliss Never knowing What was the right thing to Do... Say... Be present in … Continue reading Love in the 21st century

The Ebb & Flow of Loss
For Virisa Whispering voices Tears flowing Falling softly Hidden truths Coming closer Silence falls Pauses filled... with what was never said Pity coursing through... the air The sadness is palpable Anticipating mob mentality Tell me how I really feel Not so private Sarcastic thoughts Keep up the façade Emotionless Unstable Hidden sentiments Lying enough to … Continue reading The Ebb & Flow of Loss
Separate Identities
When you're alone You're not always lonely But when you're lonely you don't have to be alone The isolation creeps in and sets itself on you The black spindly fingers land on your shoulders Dragging you down When you have nothing left You let it come for you You let it take you What is … Continue reading Separate Identities
Life Audit
To live Breathe Grasp the world by his pearls And just thrust yourself forward Never knowing which way is up But revolting against the stigma Never bowing down Taking back what is yours Telling the naysayers to "fuck off" Because you got this No telling when... But your glow up is on the horizon You … Continue reading Life Audit

Who am I to demand? I am mixed up Twisted around Thrown … Continue reading Misdial

A world on Fire
Night Day Darkness swallows Light Exposes Truth... Honesty Morality The world lack compassion Turn on the TV Sob for humanity Nothing changes war wages Never know what we're fighting for Oil? Diamonds? For Power? Power hungry We slay our brothers and sisters For "resources' We blame them No respect No apologies Deny, Deny, Deny, Rip us … Continue reading A world on Fire
Lonely Girl, Lied to by the Men of the World
The love is palpable The sexual tension… Is exciting This is forbidden Uncharted territory Whispers in the dark Stolen glances Note passing has me feeling juvenile Rendezvous changing my outlook Have me feeling hopeful That this…This can see the light of day That this… This can withstand the test of time But you have valid reasons … Continue reading Lonely Girl, Lied to by the Men of the World
