How do I eloquently introduce you to the demons in my bed? Should they join us at the table as we go to break our bread? Before I set their place, should I tell you how they’re fed? The living eats a little different than the dead. How do I elegantly articulate all the thoughts…

Flowers On Our Graves
What would they say… these flowers on our graves? About the people we were- without knowing the waters we’d wade? Casting shadows over where we lay– as they long to taste intentions, of the words we’ll never say. Nourished by the envy seeping 6ft from where we fade. Caged to feel them flourish above the…
Temporary Love
We are but strangers, disguised as temporary love. Cloaked even from ourselves as we enter the room with intentions uncertain and fall into quiet madness. For in this moment, we play at the peak of a pedestal we never knew we built. Marbled with projections of the holes we have within ourselves that we hide…
Uncertainty
Oh uncertainty… wrap yourself around me. Pack my life in a suitcase and let me wander free. Tell me of the mountains as you guide me to the sea. I’ll learn what I need, from the places I go, about who I’m meant to be. Oh uncertainty… keep your gaze upon me, help me aim…
Bird’s Eye View
Search for meanings in mountains, Observing from the sky. Ranges like encryptions, To decode as I fly. My path becomes clearer When viewed from so high. But this connection is different, And I may never see why. An ascent to more hellos? Or an eventual goodbye? And why with answers uncertain Am I so willing…
Paradise Taken
Where are all my savage souls, that want a little grit to show, that struggle for the sake to grow, that know it’s the ragged ones that are truly whole. But it takes a timely toll — proving patience right. Appealing to our sense of sight, to see it’s not just death that requires fight,…
Things That Scare
stop trying to choose how others should care— we’ve always been ones to do as we dare; knowing there’s deeper burdens to bare, hidden in levels of being aware. at least it will always be as we faire, for how we vanish into thin air; as that is only a step of the stair, when…
Change With Time
I hate you time, we are the same, We learned to love in a different way. And as that way may consume the mind, I cannot stay, I change with time. Now, Now, before it’s then, Now that those times can’t come again. Oh how long it’s always been, When you’re living in thoughts of…
Blurred Lines
Again, I am spotted at my windowsill– Feet dangling in the damp, summer air, With my gaze locked on the horizon. “What had I imagined all the years before”? The thought circles around in my mind while the light rain trickles in and the steam of my coffee trickles out— I take a sip. I’ve…
Things Are Not As They Appear
Spring has sprung, let the rivers run, Towards the bay, towards the fun, Towards waters wading everyone. Upon approach, the sight does stun As the shallow waters seem over-run. All seek the tides warmed by the sun, Yet, in the depths, they’re nearly none… The water is different out here, Things are not as they…
Deranged
Love so strange. I change, you change, But this…won’t change. So strange, As you seep into my brain, derange. As I feel you at close range, derange. Then as you fade… Like a figment of my mind–I pine, For when we can collide at the same time. For when your thoughts collide with mine. I…
Airport Vagabonds
5 AM; Bag already checked. Undoubtedly the traveler wandering east —to—> west. Coffee in hand, purposefully propped, slowly undresses itself of the condensation provoked, partially, by my neglecting lips… …Lips presently clasped as my eyes roam the rapid crowds. Casually considering the blur of faces flowing past me in waves… …Waves of droplets beat against…
