Baiting The Wind
She came as a cool autumn breeze, blowing about wildly and free.
Her presence touched every inch of me, from my head down to my feet.
She whispered in my ear, faint sounds that I could barely make out.
Other than the words I love you, that, I felt without a doubt.
She easily moved everything around me, from the tallest trees to the smallest blades of grass.
But it all stopped suddenly, so I sit here pondering and I ask,
"Where did my wind go? Why did it have to go by so fast?
I've contemplated plans of capture to perfection, baiting a kite for the next...

Alien
It’s a seed sprouting,
a cold plant, spreading like a misty
forget-me-not.
When the familiar becomes thin, veiled
without colour or substance.
Far-off, disconnected,
as if I had been transported, between
blinks, to a pale Andromedean planet
with unfathomable languages and unrecognisable shapes.
The grass is green, but
not. The sky is blue, but not. The sun shines hot
but with a stony face.
Everything orbits a glowing abyss ,
and distant events and...

Why have you forsaken me?
Dawn of our journey.
We found our path,
an embrace like a first station,
hope in every breath.
Together we walked facing fears
in the sacred spring.
The weight of the cross came
as doubt whispered in the wind.
Our love staggered under its heavy burden.
With each step, the road grew steeper,
yet, we bore the weight
through shared tears and laughter.
We stumbled and fell thrice
in moments of despair.
We rose, driven by the light in our eyes.
Giving strength to carry on and believe in us.

The Great Divide
So much pain sent within a shockwave
Voices turn silent when riddled with fear
Wearing a face that only appears brave
Underneath it stirs a torment more severe
Out in the ether the air has grown dense
Seems the grass is dead on the other side
Been swindled under some false pretense
Karma was instant sparking the great divide

Wish
I held you so close
Forever feeling you'd be mine
A warm fire to
Stave off the freezing rain
But oh so slowly
We drifted away
Boats listless
Lost in the raging sea
I searched for you
In the gutters of this
Suffering world
Filled with parasites and leeches
But to no avail
My dream was gone
In a whisper not quite heard
You sank into the shadows
I had to let you go
A bright fragile butterfly
Into a hurricane
Of darkness and despair
But I will always wait ...

Blah
We had our fun
We had good times
Something, I suppose
To call a good life
Together we climbed mountains
And strolled along the shore
Living and loving fully
Until it was no more

To Love You Again
Broken promises and lost dreams
This dead relationship that once was so sweet
Who I was then and who I am now
Have learned to reconcile as much as my heart allowed.
The past is the past; the future has yet to come
I’m feeling once again when I used to be numb
My heart, my life, my soul
The shattered pieces of me have become whole.
Hush child, it’s okay to cry
You’ve been strong for so long, and you’ll continue to soar high
Love hurts, but that’s part of the journey
Some people are meant to be left in a memory.

Erasure of an Inconvenient Life - True Crime #1
I consider it a great privilege to witness the passing of a soul into eternity, whatever that may be. There is something miraculous about the quickness of the transitions and emotional changes sometimes involved. It was such with Susan, a 44-year-old divorced mother of three in a Chicago suburb.
I remember my own days of youthful exuberance, though they were spent far from the pomp and pageantry of Susan's. Her teenage years were a portrait of American virtue—a tableau of school spirit and ambition. She had been the epitome of the all-American girl, her days a blur of pom-poms,...

Damaged with a Soft Heart
Damaged with a soft heart
If you said you would come
Back to me down on my knees
Kisses to heaven and I’m restored
Been a ghost hangin round the periphery
No soul in my heart til you come back to me
Im ephemeral just a mist
I slip in and out of darkness
Tryin to access madness I’m livin in
Know I can fill the part
But I’m really damaged with a soft heart
But if I heard a little bird say that
You would come back to me
I could come back around and
Show my true heart the heart you...

Tryin to access madness I’m livin in
Know I can fill the part
But I’m really damaged with a soft heart

Relinquish
Faith in myself
Is the only substance keeping me going in this waking hell
Held in a divine embrace
The world smudges into a blur as I wonder at my own pace.
I set off into the darkness to cast the divine light
I rose up from the ashes to continue the fight
Hazy dreams are all that remain
I no longer have the willpower to play this mind game.
Come and find me in your memories
I gave you life every time I’d bleed
My flesh and soul were offered willingly
Now you’re left with ashes and lost dreams.

Cruel fate
Stars fall all around
Setting the night ablaze
With mysterious golden glaze
Feel the warmth run through
My body electrified
Spirits searing eternalized
We turn and meet each others gaze
Minds flying high
We both hand in hand rise
Watching earth dissappear
Beneath our flowing feet
Our hearts tune to each others beat
Dancing silhouettes
Through crystal cosmic dust
Seeing the beginning of what was
We spoke without words
In a tangled love affair
Leaving us both gasping for air ...

dead beat
The season of love has ended and so did we—
Those few days with you didn’t strengthen me. Instead, you broke my perception of love. The idea of liking someone felt tangible. Yet just like Icarus, I fell down in flames, burned my wings,incinerated. It disappeared into ashes that flew away along with my senses.
The thought of me being in one. Perhaps I'll enter when the crows shed its wings, transforming its dark feathers into snow coloured ones. Possibly when the heavens crashed with the earth and turned the world upside down. But for the...
