scissored by shadow and scythed by sorrow.
Yet gravesites...

SOMEWHERESomewhere in the land of "riches"
Near the birthplace of God
A young girl is in bondage
Mothering at an early age.
Taken from somewhere in Africa
Near the birthplace of despair
Lured by promises of a well-paying job
A lucrative opportunity,...

Hearts Like FlowersOut of the crack, a life did rise,
A fragile bloom beneath the skies.
No gentle rain, no nurturing hand,

The horizons will all turn white
Gray clouds will fall and feelings turn right
Prowess will...

Ruminations of a RomanceWinter’s cold chill cuts through my chin.
Within its bleak and brazen embrace,
My brisk days are turned brief and barren.
They are lengthened into sordid sepulchral insomniac nights.

You’re walking on the ocean floor.
