Life (Acrostic)
Languid brush strokes struggle to
Ignite under star encrusted skies
Furiously dabbing the black canvas
Emerging from the rubble, victorious
Ignite under star encrusted skies
Furiously dabbing the black canvas
Emerging from the rubble, victorious

Silence Must Break the Dawn (Acrostic)
Some shores are best unkempt
Intricate glass carvings and glass
light up my kaleidoscope eyes
Enchanting colors that capture
Nature's hushed rapture
Cathedrals within seashells
Enrapture my imaginary castle
with
Musical crescendos
Ushering in the waves
Striking the silence of
The morning empire
whose
Breaths quiver in the cold
Rioting storm's wake
Entrenching upon the shore
Altercations beg thy leave
Kindness, a drought I do bereave
where
Thoughtless voices become...
Intricate glass carvings and glass

Winter Sorceress (Acrostic + Rime Couee + Balassi Stanza)
While clutching me with icy claws
I fear my fragile heart to pause
Nippy tendrils tangle
Tresses, silken ice, beg thy thaws
Ensnared in her tenacious jaws
Raw, embittered strangle
Snowfall makes her applause
Over iced hills she gnaws
Reaching for her frosted grasp
Crashing bodies mangle
Erupts crystal spangle
Radiating winter's clasp
Empty hearts do implore
Shattered frost 'pon her shore
Shaking her bitter rasp

The Darkness Within
I crash upon her boney shores
praying to suffer no more
She struck me with her thorny side
the betrayal left me paralyzed
Keep thinking I'll land in paradise
somehow I keep falling for her lies
I write a little poem and I feel better
but then the waves keep crashing
and the wind keeps scratching
But I know I can't let her win
or else she'll peel me to the bone
I hope and pray that somehow I'll let the fire in
Save me from her - the darkness within
praying to suffer no more
She struck me with her thorny side
the betrayal left me paralyzed
Keep thinking I'll land in paradise
somehow I keep falling for her lies
I write a little poem and I feel better
but then the waves keep crashing
and the wind keeps scratching
But I know I can't let her win
or else she'll peel me to the bone
I hope and pray that somehow I'll let the fire in
Save me from her - the darkness within

Captivity
Built up walls around me isolation
dark matter of my own creation
Looking for answers in the constellations
reaching for breath without consolation
Capsized by an ocean of taciturnity
where the waves are seized by emotion
Receding shorelines - transformation
Hungrily devouring shipwrecked hearts
Here I am, held captive within
the calamities of your seas
I struggle in vain to break free
like the listless wild cries
In the oceans of man's debris
dark matter of my own creation
Looking for answers in the constellations
reaching for breath without consolation
Capsized by an ocean of taciturnity
where the waves are seized by emotion
Receding shorelines - transformation
Hungrily devouring shipwrecked hearts
Here I am, held captive within
the calamities of your seas
I struggle in vain to break free
like the listless wild cries
In the oceans of man's debris

Winter (Acrostic)
Weathered and bitter
Incapable of feeling
Narcissistic to the bone
Trying to devour
Everything I made my home
Revealing we're all alone
Incapable of feeling
Narcissistic to the bone
Trying to devour
Everything I made my home
Revealing we're all alone

Bitter (Acrostic)
Buried my past with my bones
I raise my glass; I'm not a quitter
Tired of trying to atone
The things I cannot change
Empty my heart upon the tomb
Reborn from the ashes of my blood
I raise my glass; I'm not a quitter
Tired of trying to atone
The things I cannot change
Empty my heart upon the tomb
Reborn from the ashes of my blood

Chasing Time (Triolet)
Chasing time through the confines of linear
Hour after hour, how I beg, how I fear
Isn't it enough that I am here
Chasing time through the confines of linear
I want so badly to believe that we will persevere
But you keep me chained, as a mere souvenir
Chasing time through the confines of linear
Hour after hour, how I beg, how I fear
Hour after hour, how I beg, how I fear
Isn't it enough that I am here
Chasing time through the confines of linear
I want so badly to believe that we will persevere
But you keep me chained, as a mere souvenir
Chasing time through the confines of linear
Hour after hour, how I beg, how I fear

Make Your Lies And Make Them Plenty (Triolet)
Make your lies and make them plenty
Waltz around the room like you're so connoisseur
I'm walking away, keeping my heart under sentry
Make your lies and make them plenty
Hind sight is always twenty-twenty
So I don't know why I always expect you to be different in the future
Make your lies and make them plenty
Waltz around the room like you're so connoisseur

Seismic (Acrostic)
Speeding lights
Echo from the stratosphere
Igniting sparks of decay
Sweltering inferno
Melting away this cage
Inspiring newly
Clustered generations

Igniting sparks of decay
Sweltering inferno
Melting away this cage

Anxiety
Crashing into the constellations
Adrift amid heart palpitations
Fuck this anxiety attack
And fuck you, don't tell me to relax
Is it just my anatomy
Is it always going to be apart of me
I'm sick of these dilapidated woes
Surely there's somewhere for me to go
I'm exhausted from suffocating on my nightmares
Is there anybody out there
Who can bring me back from the abyss
There's got to be more amiss
More to life than this horror
More to life than this sorrow
Living for someone else's dream
Splitting my sanity at the seams
Adrift amid heart palpitations
Fuck this anxiety attack
And fuck you, don't tell me to relax
Is it just my anatomy
Is it always going to be apart of me
I'm sick of these dilapidated woes
Surely there's somewhere for me to go
I'm exhausted from suffocating on my nightmares
Is there anybody out there
Who can bring me back from the abyss
There's got to be more amiss
More to life than this horror
More to life than this sorrow
Living for someone else's dream
Splitting my sanity at the seams

We Don't Even Know Who We Are
Maybe animals feel more deeply than we do
high emotional IQ
I mean we don't even know who we are
we're always looking up to the stars
conflicting the world with our schisms
and they're all contributing to the ecosystem
busy creating the world that we live in
while we're all begging to be forgiven
for destroying the only home we know
barely surviving the harsh reality of the undertow
that we've created with our waste, greed, and pollution
lying to ourselves that more technology is the solution
When we all need is to reach out our...
