It rang with a sound like twinkling waterfalls without the moisture,
And tweeted like a soft pillow from my 5-year-old camping nest.
The scorching glare of darkness crawled up the...

Divine MagnetismWho said it was blue? When I think of
A window, it is not the colour of grapes;
Nor is it a long stretch of morning field;
Also not a nighttime movie of galaxy film.
Who said red was...

ApathyI wrap my fingers around the pen
which has lain dormant collecting dust
for months on end feeling as if
I'm lifting a fifty pound weight
straining not just my joints

He Wants To Be A ManLord this boy is bright
as a ten-watt lightbulb
well, he needs some home-schooling
to properly integrate himself
into our society
Lord, don't send this boy to hell
take the gun out of his hands
please give this boy a chance
Oh Lord,...

The Wounded HeroYesterday's heartaches fade away,
but their memories tend to stay.
And though love has no guarantee,
it's the key to setting you free.
Clinging to unreconciled fears,
you blame fate for your years of tears.
And erect emotional walls,
discouraging love when...

LifeLife is an amalgamation of chemicals and elements

Drawn In CrayonAn evening breeze tickles the leaves on trees;
and an ancient oak tree creeks, sighs, and heaves.
As silhouettes merge, they soon disappear,
and the owls and bats advance their premiere.
A symphony of saffron and chiffon
composes a sunset...

To Which Image Should We ClingLine of inquiry:
“We have been here a thousand times before
Memory erased, each time we begin anew
Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew
To which image, oh dear...

Oh Love If You Remember MeOh, love, if you remember me, 'tis true,
A faded echo whispered soft and blue.
Like distant music, on the wind, it floats,
A melody of moments, shared in secret notes.

Leave any...

from the charcoal ashes of night.
And sets the eastern skies afire,
lit by Dawn's splendiferous light.

And a mix of pastel colors
confirms that Sol is...
