Truth on Mute
How to
trust
When words
and actions
Don't match
Mouth spouts
affirmation
Absence
screams
denial
Forced
to find answers
Unassisted
In deafening
silence
trust
When words
and actions
Don't match

Jail Break
A world viewed
through sunlit teardrop
Multi*faceted
and many hued
Amuses
Upside down
madness
Laughter ricochets
Off prison bars
of rattled ribcage
Startling
with its escape
Unaccustomed
to such rambunctious behavior
In the sudden silence
following
Edges of brittle
soften
Not much...

Listening Intently
Learning
to accept
When the question
is asked
Only response
being
static
Therein lies
the answer
Silence
is a
language
to accept
When the question
is asked
Only response
being
static
Therein lies
the answer
Silence
is a
language

Contemplative Grounds
Brewing motivation
Mental stim*ulation
Mind ajar
Cup in hand
Thoughts crammed
into s p a c e s
too small
Stacked

Ugly little monsters
Gnawing at
the last thread
Until it

White Noise
The mask c r a c k s
A little more
with each stark
de*part*ure
Despite promises
to remain
They f a d e
Best
to simply
turn away
Scream
into unending
darkness
Unable to
smother
the
drums
Muffle
the inevitable sound
Clicking
into waiting
silence
As farewell
closes another door
Leaving this...

Starving the Beast
Resentment

Birthed

Nurtured
by regular f e e dings
Until mind

Not in any co*hesive fashion

at odds
Emotion

Both exhausted

Empty Bed
The sofa
bears witness
to f i t f u l slumber
When it deigns
to come
Curled
with a blanket
and a Beast
Game of Thrones
on a loop
It's too much
to confront
The solitude
in this room
Far easier
to face
Kinked neck
and stiff spine
Than mocking bed
