I Will Wither
Laying down and wanting to write,
I reach deep down
Inside for my words
But they are gone.
My Emotions, looking for a place,
Slowly drifting
In my mind, remain.
Night is our time.
I feel,
They write.
That was our deal.
With no outlet,
I will wither
Like a plant
Ripped from its root.
I will fade away
Into the darkness
And the vacuum left inside.
Please, come back.
I reach deep down
Inside for my words
But they are gone.
My Emotions, looking for a place,
Slowly drifting
In my mind, remain.
Night is our time.
I feel,
They write.
That was our deal.
With no outlet,
I will wither
Like a plant
Ripped from its root.
I will fade away
Into the darkness
And the vacuum left inside.
Please, come back.

Absolute Zero
One day in class, the teacher asked,
“What is the lowest temperature called?”
I’d like to say I was paying attention,
But there was a girl and I was enthralled.
Her name was Chloe, she sat in front of me,
Her hair was long, golden, soft to the touch.
The aroma was heady and sweet, like lilac.
I was under her spell, it was all too much.
Daydreams of her soft lips filled my thoughts.
I wondered how they would...

Into Eternity
I ease in
disturbing the stillness
of the water.
Feeling the heat
encircle my body,
I bask in its warmth.
My thoughts beat
their wings as
they flutter away.
I run my hands
down my legs
watching the water
cascade downward.
The surface ripples again
as my body tenses up,
Then relief,
immersing itself deeper.
The sweetened lilac
fragrance intoxicating me
as I close my eyes,
sinking into eternity.

their wings as

Shards of Glass
With head down, she continues
Through the blustery wind.
The chill enters her
And spreads quickly
Robbing her of the
Last warmth she has.
Which way is she heading?
How long will it be?
She’s caught in between
Two people.
She’s weary of their drama,
Weary of figuring out
What it is they need.
Living through the aftermath,
She's walking over the ...

Shattering the Silence
The house is empty and silent
As the inside of me.
My restless eyes close
As I lay down and reflect on
What has happened recently.
I think to myself, has time
given up on me?
I scream, shattering the silence
Like breaking glass.
Can you feel it
On my mouth?
Can you taste the
Venom on my tongue
When I talk about you?
The further you dismiss my sorrow,
The more it gets amplified.
Loneliness drove my actions
And lead me to the wrong one.
Your light will
Fade in time,
Then I’ll...
As the inside of me.
My restless eyes close
As I lay down and reflect on
What has happened recently.
I think to myself, has time
given up on me?
I scream, shattering the silence
Like breaking glass.
Can you feel it

Can you taste the
Venom on my tongue
When I talk about you?
The further you dismiss my sorrow,
The more it gets amplified.
Loneliness drove my actions
And lead me to the wrong one.
Your light will
Fade in time,

The Hunger Grows
A slight touch on my lips,
dry but soft and warm
as we seek our rhythm,
I grow too eager
and start fumbling.
He slows me,
leading the way.
My mouth melts with his
as I feed on the
craving kiss that I need.
The hunger grows
and we sink deeper.
God, the fire.
I start spinning
round and round,
faster and faster,
breaking into pieces
until I disintegrate.

The Battle
A scarlet blade,
The mask of black,
Here was our battle,
There was no turning back.
As the young sith
Made his stand,
She swiftly charged
With saber in hand.
After the swords clashed,
He extended his arm,
Loudly yelling “Force push”,
While intending much harm.
She stumbled and fell
Pretending it worked,
Letting out a giggle
And a bit of a smirk.
Standing over her proudly,
He knew he was the winner.
Then mom yelled from downstairs,
“Guys, It’s time for...
The mask of black,
Here was our battle,
There was no turning back.
As the young sith
Made his stand,
She swiftly charged
With saber in hand.
After the swords clashed,
He extended his arm,
Loudly yelling “Force push”,

She stumbled and fell
Pretending it worked,
Letting out a giggle
And a bit of a smirk.

He knew he was the winner.

To Heal Him
With closed eyes,
His voice casts an enchantment,
Which envelops me.
His music is so soft,
Wispy and sweet.
His words speak of
unrequited love,
A sadness that reaches out.
His fragile, melancholy spirit
Makes my body ache
To heal him,
To be the shore
His ocean finds.
The song finishes
Ending the spell,
Breaking us back in two.
His voice casts an enchantment,
Which envelops me.
His music is so soft,
Wispy and sweet.
His words speak of
unrequited love,
A sadness that reaches out.
His fragile, melancholy spirit
Makes my body ache
To heal him,
To be the shore
His ocean finds.
The song finishes
Ending the spell,
Breaking us back in two.

Windows Painted Closed
I catch the reflection of us
in the kitchen window,
the look of indifference
etched into my face.
Finally, the words spit out
as the lecture begins.
I feign interest with a nod.
Then silence, a forceful pause,
her stern gaze pries.
Though I’ve learned to hate her way,
what I say comes out wrong
as we start to throw fire
at each other, sinking deeper
into this moment of ire.
No breaks,
no giving in,
The words revolve around
my spinning head.
In her house,
I could barely breathe
with...
in the kitchen window,
the look of indifference
etched into my face.
Finally, the words spit out
as the lecture begins.
I feign interest with a nod.

Consigned to Oblivion
If you could be made to forget, would you?
Memories erased,
Spots removed from your mind.
The familiar feeling from a memory
Which is now but an echo,
Consigned to oblivion.
Would this bring joy?
Perhaps temporary relief
From the everyday reminder
Of the sorrows you carry.
Who are you without the hurts,
failures,
disappointments,
heartaches?
From your mind, you can erase them,
The heart is a different story.
Don’t waste another day,
Love the sky falling.
Memories erased,

Don’t waste another day,

A String of Stars
This longing
starts in my chest.
An unfilled longing
To feel
Intertwined with her
Heartbeats,
Words,
Thoughts,
Screams,
Indistinguishable in time.
A string of stars-
Their light revealing us.
starts in my chest.
An unfilled longing
