Winter's Kiss
Rain drops stop as she opens her eyes
all things breathing hush and hide
Starlight paints her through the trees
earth shuns warmth to bear her feet
Wolf cries serenade her path of ice
the winds are still as she passes by
Cold caresses tame the fiercest flames
the sun withdraws to escape her embrace
Grim skies drift keenly against the moon
frost and snow begin an icy bloom
White fog and black clouds give birth to grey mists
the earth parts its hips for winter's kiss
Time is a void that emits no...
all things breathing hush and hide

Cold caresses tame the fiercest flames

Grim skies drift keenly against the moon
frost and snow begin an icy bloom
White fog and black clouds give birth to grey mists
the earth parts its hips for winter's kiss
Time is a void that emits no...

you were not alone
vivid as if I was still there,
i remember your face
the last moments you had are moments I can’t erase
i don’t know who you were, young man in the red polo
i just know your death was no way for a person to go
we pressed on your chest, tried to get air in your lungs
two fingers on your wrist praying for a thump
your eyes started to close and we felt our hearts drop
until help arrived we still didn’t stop
pressing on your chest, pumping air in your lungs
i held your hand and prayed
and prayed that help would come
a strange...

"I don't think you understand" (My first poem)
I don't think you will
Ever fully understand
how you've touched my life
And made me who I am.
I dont think you could ever know
Just how truly special you are
That even on the darkest nights
You are my brightest star.
You've allowed me to experience
Something very hard to find
unconditional love that exists
In my body, soul and mind.
I dont think you could ever feel
all the love i have to give
And im sure you will never realise
You've been my will to live.
You are an amazing person, ...

Pestilent Psyche
morbid kisses
catatonic purification
desolate dreamscapes
sadistic overtures
listless boredom
intoxicating embraces
pestilent psyche
apathetic existence
lustful vengeance
desperate beauty
enveloped so hatefully

Just one more
When the sun goes down
Miss Lindsay Brown
Gets in a car and slips away.
Frantically she's searching for
The one good thing that she’d addore
No not a bore just just one more
No not a chore just just one more
She’d say.
Flashingly the lights do flick
Brains bash and flip - a pointy stick
Bloods rush and trip, a flying ship
Just just the thing she just can’t grip
One more one more and I'll bite my lip
She’d say...

proclamation
and she cha-cha slides
her hips sway
sensually when she glides
lucky I to be hers
my heart pours
onto to her
she is claimed
little regard
to her say
she is unaware
her arrow
aimed
at my heart
her hips sway
sensually when she glides
lucky I to be hers
my heart pours
onto to her
she is claimed
little regard
to her say
she is unaware
her arrow
aimed
at my heart

It Didn't Mean Anything
I saw you-
there on the street
your hand on her face
too intimate a gesture
between colleagues
when I asked, you said
it didn't mean anything
Now, every word you've ever said
lives on in that vacuum
of meaningless anythings
there on the street
your hand on her face
too intimate a gesture
between colleagues
when I asked, you said
it didn't mean anything
Now, every word you've ever said
lives on in that vacuum
of meaningless anythings

The Distance
The miles between
Your face unseen
Your touch not felt
The hand we’re dealt
Forbidden dream
The space between
Your heart and mine
Can’t cross the line
Out of touch
We want too much
Cruel trick of time
A mountain to climb
A love so strong
Can’t be wrong
Even with the distance
Your face unseen
Your touch not felt
The hand we’re dealt
Forbidden dream
The space between
Your heart and mine
Can’t cross the line
Out of touch
We want too much
Cruel trick of time
A mountain to climb
A love so strong
Can’t be wrong
Even with the distance

The scariest part of a depressive episode isn't crying due to the intense sadness and pain, but when you cannot.

My skin will be mine
in 7 years’ time
Reborn,
anew
Untouched by you
7 years from now I will be free
from the chokehold that you had on me
From the bruises
and the scars
From all the ways you left your mark
Two years of pain
Of tears
Of hell
In 7 years, gone
from every cell
in 7 years’ time
Reborn,
anew
Untouched by you
7 years from now I will be free
from the chokehold that you had on me
From the bruises
and the scars
From all the ways you left your mark
Two years of pain
Of tears
Of hell
In 7 years, gone
from every cell

dear, 17
17 years
or 6,210 days
or 149,040 hours
or 8,941,136 minutes
or 536,457,600 seconds
that's how long i've lived
and how long i’ve been on this earth
i'm officially 17
numerically speaking--
that's a long-ass time
realistically, i blinked and it happened
a flash, and here i am
i know i have many years ahead
and many sleepless nights in my bed
but i feel so incredibly old
what feels like
2 seconds ago i was going into high school
