Frosty Autumn Leaves
In our minds your memory burns bright
Gone too soon, laid to rest, eternally
The autumn leaves and frost
Decorate your absence
Memories of happiness
Memories of love
Long, winding roads led you home
Led us on different paths
Tangled like branches
Lost in the sound of silence
Your memory lives on in the autumn leaves and frost
Silence
You live on
Gone too soon, laid to rest, eternally
The autumn leaves and frost
Decorate your absence
Memories of happiness
Memories of love
Long, winding roads led you home
Led us on different paths
Tangled like branches
Lost in the sound of silence
Your memory lives on in the autumn leaves and frost
Silence
You live on

An Unnatural Quiet
They come, they come, shadows cold and sly
That dance in silence, mocking as they flit
A host unseen, with thousand unseen eyes
And each one fixed upon my shivering wit
O silent fiends, why creep ye through my cell?
Is’t not enough my mind’s become thy prey?
Ye slither, lurk, and fester—yet none tell
What foul delight or purpose bids you stay
Hark! They do whisper, low and serpent-sweet
Their voices coil within the breathless gloom
“Come nearer, fool, where light and shadow meet,
And touch the edge of thy eternal doom.”...
That dance in silence, mocking as they flit
A host unseen, with thousand unseen eyes
And each one fixed upon my shivering wit
O silent fiends, why creep ye through my cell?
Is’t not enough my mind’s become thy prey?
Ye slither, lurk, and fester—yet none tell
What foul delight or purpose bids you stay
Hark! They do whisper, low and serpent-sweet
Their voices coil within the breathless gloom
“Come nearer, fool, where light and shadow meet,
And touch the edge of thy eternal doom.”...

Sally’s Song
There are things I wish to say,
but each time I try,
I end up with needle and thread
coalescing in my hand.
They levitate together in cohesion,
skillfully weaving to lace my mouth,
stitching my lips to stay quiet.
I smile and nod
with an embroidery of restraint,
leaving me voiceless,
squelched by hushed whispers
of Sally’s song.
but each time I try,
I end up with needle and thread
coalescing in my hand.
They levitate together in cohesion,
skillfully weaving to lace my mouth,
stitching my lips to stay quiet.
I smile and nod

leaving me voiceless,
squelched by hushed whispers
of Sally’s song.

Serial quitter
Now that she was calmer,
she looked at the sun
and decided to walk away from there.
She felt unobserved,
as if her existence had no
any greater interest to any other being.
She found that silence strange,
nothing in the air or coming from the nearby forest,
she didn't associate all this with the absence
of songs and chirps in the hot afternoon.
She remained distracted...
Without even noticing that the path
was paved with thousands
and thousands of heads ripped off from birds.

Perfectly Imperfect
Perfectly imperfect
Beauty is in the eye
Different from person to person
See beauty in the most confounding places
Hair out of place shouldn’t matter
Walk in the door don’t wipe your feet
Prisoners of perfection
Mirror doesn’t turn around
Finds the fault line every time
Death by a thousand cuts
Pecking here and snipping there
Anything I do doesn’t rise up
Seeking perfection in a human
Maybe artificial intelligence
Will free her from your missing the point ...

Gaza escape
Gaza escape how do you escape the suffering
Rounds pound out the sound all I hear is screaming in the distance
As a dust cloud rises I see the consequences
Stand on rubble it used to home me and my family
I see a piece of her dress peeking out of disaster
I pull rocks and bleed through the ground
In a moment of things I wouldn’t present
To the Devil or my worst enemy
Rounds pound out the sound all I hear is screaming in the distance
As a dust cloud rises I see the consequences
Stand on rubble it used to home me and my family
I see a piece of her dress peeking out of disaster
I pull rocks and bleed through the ground
In a moment of things I wouldn’t present
To the Devil or my worst enemy

Unknown
Have you ever wondered
What it would be like
If you weren’t even born
You would not even be
A dot scribbled anywhere
Or a number on anyone’s phone
Or remembered by those
Who love you or hate you
Or a name chiseled on a stone
Would they even stop
To tell you they miss you
Or is it the loss they morn
If you were a shadow
Cast on a silver wall
Or pain from a thorn
Would it make a difference
When in the end we are all
Born to live in the unknown
You can...
What it would be like

Would they even stop
To tell you they miss you
Or is it the loss they morn

Whispers of The Saints
O'er the midnight moorlands praying
Thro' the cypress forests swaying
In the night-wind softly straying
Holy voices fill the air
In the barren branches speaking
By the quiet pools still seeking
Past the shore-cliffs ever peeking
Saintly whispers of their care
Once, I think I half remember
Ere the skies of cold December
Quench'd my heart’s once fervent ember
Liv’d there such a thing as grace
Skies that now are grey were gleaming
Bright and golden, warm with meaning
Till I learn’d beneath its seeming
Faith alone...
Thro' the cypress forests swaying
In the night-wind softly straying
Holy voices fill the air
In the barren branches speaking
By the quiet pools still seeking
Past the shore-cliffs ever peeking
Saintly whispers of their care
Once, I think I half remember
Ere the skies of cold December
Quench'd my heart’s once fervent ember
Liv’d there such a thing as grace
Skies that now are grey were gleaming
Bright and golden, warm with meaning
Till I learn’d beneath its seeming
Faith alone...

The Taste of Memories
My mouth is dry,
I taste the sands shy,
With memories of oasis water,
I wish it were hotter,
Is my mouth dry,
Even as I cry,
Words have left me here,
But I still fear,
The memories I came to bare,
Dry my mouth is,
From times different than this,
I long for something more,
My brain is now but a chore,
Mouth dry is my,
For I now know why,
I left behind my mind,
Now I must unwind,
With nothing of a talker.
I taste the sands shy,
With memories of oasis water,
I wish it were hotter,
Is my mouth dry,
Even as I cry,
Words have left me here,
But I still fear,
The memories I came to bare,
Dry my mouth is,
From times different than this,
I long for something more,
My brain is now but a chore,
Mouth dry is my,
For I now know why,
I left behind my mind,
Now I must unwind,
With nothing of a talker.

Aeons of Abyssal Wells
Go where the light is weak
Listen when the dark shall speak
Whispers from realms unknown
Time itself turned to stone
Silence gone and long expired
Dead skies long retired
Beyond our own mortal pale
See beyond and pierce the veil
Where cursed things dance
Trumpeters of the mad god's trance
What no mortal may ever see
Beyond is the cursed infinity
Shadow stretch in length untold
Insidious aeons slowly unfold
Cursed scions that...
Listen when the dark shall speak

Silence gone and long expired
Dead skies long retired
Beyond our own mortal pale

Trumpeters of the mad god's trance
What no mortal may ever see
Beyond is the cursed infinity
Shadow stretch in length untold
Insidious aeons slowly unfold

Double-edged
Stumble upon
Every word
Breathe and let it
Take over
Ramble down
The list
You kept it in
For far too long
It hurts more
When it bleeds less
Urking enough
You scream in whispers
I died for you
I lied for you
I cried for you
I would have killed
For you
Every sorry
Every mistake
Every attempt
To keep you at bay
Every excuse
Every lie
Every reason
Everything they say
Is exactly what brought you here!
I died for you
I lied...
Every word
Breathe and let it
Take over
Ramble down
The list
You kept it in
For far too long
It hurts more
When it bleeds less
Urking enough
You scream in whispers
I died for you
I lied for you
I cried for you
I would have killed
For you
Every sorry
Every mistake
Every attempt
To keep you at bay
Every excuse
Every lie
Every reason
Everything they say
Is exactly what brought you here!
I died for you
I lied...
