Still Burning
You are hidden who knows where,
among the yellowing leaves of
a paralyzed time, crystallized
in the nothingness of memory.
It was my own hand to throw you
over the edge, to curse your thorns,
o adolescent rose, goddess of my silence;
I couldn't go any further
your radiant summer,
I couldn't see the ice glistening beyond
the garden of dreams.
Years have fallen like lead dominoes,
I've learned to dance with life
even as it simulates death, and yet,
if there is light in this sunset of stone,
it's because a...

marooned
without you,
i feel
like a
ship that
has been
marooned
on a
lonely island.

Life is a puzzle
Life is a puzzle
A puzzle of time taking
Filled with confusing shapes
Beautiful when done
Hard when starting
Worthwhile when you are almost there
My heart speaks into a mirror
Seeing the regrets that has been made
Choosing not to speak its mind to
The problems that’s been saved.
Im a moving piece that doesn't know where to stay
Feeling lost in the sea of my feelings, trauma, thoughts
Not knowing where to belong
feeling not wanted
Drowning in my sorrows
Seeing love ones come and go as i sit alone
I scream but...

may never know-painting idealism
hot cocoa during winter-couch cuddles-channel surfing-warm everything-temperture; almost everyday-momentum-
water flowing- despite litter- that just washes on the shore; what is overly attentive? what is feeling ones' ignored; what are expectations hendering a natural smooth jazz?
doesn't matter what's the back drop- be it visuals or sounds; what is feeling something wonderful-"bill withers"(just the two of us)- nothing more....
as opposed to one-just one- in the void; just ok....
just a dream dreamt every now...

Griefly Thinking
So now the 24/7 crying is over, What Next?
My mind won't focus, It drifts too much,
stopping on thoughts of those gone,
Felling injustice and ugly despair Ready to go
But Where?
My Dreams imploded leaving Hate,
I need ideas of a new escape.
My mind won't focus, It drifts too much,
stopping on thoughts of those gone,
Felling injustice and ugly despair Ready to go
But Where?
My Dreams imploded leaving Hate,

Haunted Home
I wanted so badly
to know every darkened piece of coal
beneath your sooted mantle
See for myself how every well-lit pane
Became a sunlit stage
Where the glittered dust danced so graceful
How every long hallway corridor
led to every spiral staircase
Always leading to something more
The home you built, the person that you are
I wanted so badly
to share with you, my soul
the messy, slightly broken home
I rebuilt with stone
And called my own
finding common grounds beneath each other
Our shared days were spent in...

The Feeling
It happens when it's late at night
the early hours of the morning
It happens when your eyes are open
when you listen, when you look
suddenly it's all around you
every page of every book
It happens when you least expect it
the hollow aches, the chill
in all the places you can't reach
all the gaps you can't fill
Another's laugh, another's touch
another's joy to watch
you feel it right behind your eyes
in your throat, there builds a notch
That building, building, building feeling

Lies
I tried to move past the lies you left in your stay
But they lingered in my mind, refusing to fade away
You promised me forever, but it was all just a game
Leaving me stranded in a sea of heartache and pain
I thought I could forget you, erase you from my heart
But your memory haunts me, tearing me apart
I tried to bury the love we once shared
But it resurfaces, leaving me ensnared
I left knowing I would never love again
Wounded by your deceit, my heart filled with disdain
I thought I could find solace in a new embrace
But your...

Sometimes when the yolk of my grief spills from its shell
I write letters to my dead parents in my journal.
I also write strange and desperate poems for lovers,
and prayers to the universe,
to-do lists, and death wishes
which are all kind of the same thing.
My socks never match, and I hate folding laundry
so I typically don’t, and the clothes strewn about
only bother me enough to think about buying a closet.
I almost never have company but I wonder
what it would be like to show someone a room,
devoid of clutter and decorated like ...

Beneath it all there was just one feeling
In the shadow of a fading day,
Where whispers linger, lost in the fray,
I gather fragments, pieces of light,
Searching for meaning in the heart of the night.
Ghosts of laughter echo through trees,
The wind carries secrets, a gentle tease,
Yet silence, a shroud, holds tight to my breath,
As I dance with the specters of love and of death.
Beneath the surface where colors drain,
I walk through memories, both joy and pain,
A tether to moments that slip through my hands,
Like grains of soft sand on...

changing myself
In a crowd where no one sees,
I stand beneath the weight of stares,
Like a shadow in a gallery,
A canvas painted with their fears.
A heart, vibrant but hidden deep,
Layered beneath the surface bright,
Knowing the echoes that cut and seep,
Through the silence of a lonely night.
I wear a mask of smiles and jest,
Laughing off the pain I feel,
Risking trust, a daily test,
In a world where wounds remain concealed.
I bend my soul to fit their mold,
Changing colors to blend in line, ...

The Glass Box Graveyard..
They came for me in silence,
shadow figures with hands like iron,
dragging me to the prison of my reflection
a glass box, small enough to crush my knees,
wide enough to show me my own fear.
The sea roared like a mob,
cold hands clawing at the hull,
as they carried me to its edge.
The box sealed shut, air already stale,
each breath a countdown to the abyss.
They dropped me with laughter swallowed by waves.
I sank, watching the surface warp and shatter
until sunlight became shards of glass
drifting above me, too far to...
