Favorite girl,
join me in the
back so we can talk.
I completely
forgot our feelings
stand in the mirror
and as you move
away, I get closer.
I told them you were
indisposed, that you
left and wouldn't
be coming home.
I reach into my pocket
as we fall forward;
a pinched nerve you
call this argument.
I told them gold was
your color and you
can't stay away.
you read that stuff about
the beauty of the world
and walk, naked, in the sun.
I just can't be that loved.
join me in the
back so we can talk.
I completely
forgot our feelings
stand in the mirror
and as you move
away, I get closer.
I told them you were
indisposed, that you
left and wouldn't
be coming home.
I reach into my pocket
as we fall forward;
a pinched nerve you
call this argument.
I told them gold was
your color and you
can't stay away.

the beauty of the world
and walk, naked, in the sun.
I just can't be that loved.

There are Ghosts in the Coral Reefs
I read an article that spoke of spokes
and wheels, parts of cars sent to sea,
seeds for tomorrow's coral reefs,
and I remembered wondering
if fish are at ease in the complex
neighborhood of steel and wood,
if eels can lurk in the dark, spring
out from underneath bucket seats.
Ghosts are real, they say, there's science,
but they are ghosts of ourselves
burned into places lived and loved in,
traces of acts, left where we ached.
When the thorny and...

Deja vu
I knew It was coming
felt it a day before.
Maybe that helped me
my mind knew what was coming
which led to it protecting me
Im hurt what happened
Mad at myself for allowing it.
I never should have fallen
you knew what to say
Made me addicted to you
Its okay Ill get over you
I knew it was coming
sadly I was ready
Still hoping you will come back
Realizing you won’t
I’ll be ok
You taught me a lesson
One that i forgot
Not any more i wont
felt it a day before.
Maybe that helped me

Still hoping you will come back

Ancient Memories Part IV: The Clash of Fire and Water
- Ancient Memories Part IV: The Clash of Fire and Water -
Phae'rathi used to fancy herself as my little sister, then over time she became used to being treated as my daughter. But we had no blood between us, and over time she had become obsessed with me much as one who is in love with someone can sometimes become. She stood in the archway of our castle that overlooked the jagged, mountainous terrain of the part of the planet Ra'qia that was currently our home, and her eyes hid a growing madness that even I only learned of too late.

Ancient Memories Part III: The Elemental Wars
- Ancient Memories Part III: The Elemental Wars -
It had been some time since we took the throne of the galactic empire and made it our own. Or had we merely remade a thing that already was ripe for change? It was difficult for me sometimes to try to adjust to my new role... I had not ever been so laden with responsibilities before, but also I had never known so many comforts. Even so, on certain nights I could not sleep easy... and the nightmares in all such hours would begin to stir, manifesting in forms I had not anticipated. On this night, it did seem as if the whole world...

a lady's dilemma
A lady’s dilemma
Her mind and body are restless
she is in her late-middle-age
a difficult time for a woman.
Her long relationship with a well-off man
has made her economically safe
but she is bored
thinks there has to be some more
before she loses her looks
and disappears into elderliness.
She has grown up with children
they don´t need her as much as before.
A part of her also likes to be settled
married and have a home of her own

There are no Stars
There are no Stars”
I am not the kiss that could set you free…
More the symptom of the fever I feel.
Of all the blooms that one might steal,
Alas! I am not the roses to be.
Pieces of my sight remain imbedded in your eyes:
You see my view, though time renders you blind
And the thorns that burden the corners of my mind
Are the echoes of our silent goodbyes.
You see as though through my undying dreams,
In them, you sadly feel me accursedly choose
The hope alas! that I am doomed to lose.
And you alone know what this...
I am not the kiss that could set you free…
More the symptom of the fever I feel.
Of all the blooms that one might steal,
Alas! I am not the roses to be.
Pieces of my sight remain imbedded in your eyes:
You see my view, though time renders you blind
And the thorns that burden the corners of my mind
Are the echoes of our silent goodbyes.
You see as though through my undying dreams,
In them, you sadly feel me accursedly choose
The hope alas! that I am doomed to lose.
And you alone know what this...

Ancient Memories Part I: The Darkness of Terra Nithal
- Ancient Memories Part I: The Darkness of Terra Nithal -
During the turbulent period that followed Cyndijaz Megg's total assumption of power on the planet of Gehenna Primus, a period that lasted many long and bloody years... there was very little for me to do in that time, with the new ruler preferring to lead her loyal forces personally in just about every battle that came up. She gave me leave to do whatsoever my heart directed me to, and taking her up on this I had begun to make serious plans to leave the planet for a time. In preparation for this, I named my beloved consort...

Communication Breakdown
When the few and elite cannot reach an accord
The many and the poor suffer for their decisions
So the world is thrown into chaos and discord
Thus creating more devastation and divisions
Then something scary happens to the human soul
When truth becomes the first casualty of war
Men then resort to savage instincts and cruel roles
Losing morality and humanity at the very core
In the meantime those who made those choices
Continue to talk after communication broke down
But they keep ignoring the people and their voices
While...

Love is New
Love is New”
I never loved you as you had earned.
In the end, neither of us has learned
How to stay lost in each other’s gaze.
It goes on and on in so many ways
The thought of, “What if I never kissed you?”
What if I met you today, and love was new?
There are voices telling me to never meet you again—
To never make the mistake of letting anyone in.
And I just want to tell you that I am sorry,
That my heart is a part of your history
And I know you feel the same,
But I am willing to take the blame,
Though the voices...

Trust?
Who am I to trust a man?
When a thousand times over
He is proved wrong.
You didn’t deserve that.
But something tugs at heartstrings.
When a thousand times over
He is proved wrong.
You didn’t deserve that.
But something tugs at heartstrings.

the map and the territory
together we are landscaping
the ways of love and care,
providing maps, road guides,
new editions as and when
a new part of the plane is found.
and from the plane we take flora:
micro-scoping hate
so as to splay it on a slide
and store it for added research,
so as to one day wipe it from the plane
the ways of love and care,
providing maps, road guides,
new editions as and when
a new part of the plane is found.
and from the plane we take flora:
micro-scoping hate
so as to splay it on a slide
and store it for added research,
