Streets of solitudeWalking along the park sidewalk,
Sometimes hear the joy and cheer of playing kids,
But most of the time, I only hear the whispers of solitude,
Each echoing footstep, a lone goodbye.
I watch the...

Streets of Solitude
Love came down, without a sound, assuring us of the presence, the grace, the peace that comes to those who simply believe God is always near and wherever we are, we have love so sincere...

Community
Community, do you remember that
Our rapidly changing world, has stripped community from behind our backs
Technology connects us across the globe
But sometimes isolates us within our own minds, at home
Our smartphones and social media promise connection
Yet...

DawnRimmed with red,
the sky emerges
from an alcoholic haze,
collapses on the shoulder of a hill.
As thin-lipped
as the letter box,
I brush a broken bottle
from the driveway:
shards of glass
that tinkle on the tarmac,
sharp as laughter
in an empty room.
First...

Anywhere But HereThe walls close in,
peeling paint whispering stories
I’ve worn too long.
The air clings heavy,
stale as forgotten dreams,
suffocating, soaked in dust.
The clock ticks louder
than the fractures in my chest,
its hands dragging me
through an endless loop of nowhere.
Even...

RefractionIn the ruin of 2020,
life shattered –
streets that once bustled,
now phantom,
ringing with the wail of sirens,
the weight of loneliness pushing down,
every breath a hint at what we lost.
Masks hid not only faces,
but the touch of...

Library HighI met an old man in Atlantic City, in a library by the shore
Through the glass, the ocean shimmered, he couldn't ask for more
He said he'd been retired since his wife...

Shall there be Peace in Battle?Searching for peace I long appeared
Withdrawn and silent in the midst
Uncertain if reality in the things I feared
Would split us asunder with iron fist.
Long for peace I have craved
Helplessly lost and wept
Dreams of...

The Touch of LifeThe Touch of Life
The Touch of Life
Fed by rotation
Stimulated by light
And access thereof
Growth with
Volumes of love
Then Growth
Takes a sabbatical
The Touch of life
Is put on pause
As rotation is
Put at bay
When growth returns
Because of...

What Went WrongWhen submerged in sorrow's sea,
Why reject a helping hand?
A broken sparrow, fragile be,
Alone, you cannot stand.
Somewhere along the winding way,
In the darkest night, the dimmest day,
A realization softly spoke,
In solitude, the heart awoke.
To weep alone,...

Red Telephone BoothAn old gaunt lady
With feeble steps
Walked to the red telephone booth
On the roadside pavement
Every day she dialed a number
And spoke inaudibly into the receiver
As tears streamed down her crinkly face
This continued for an hour
Until...

Cotton-MouthMy tongue holds cotton to my teeth
Holds the dry in my throat
I cannot breathe here
My voice is escaped from me
I do not speak with sound
My hands are my larynx
I hold my regards to my noise

Animalistic ThoughtsBarking; I harken
Almost darken
Need to be free
Underneath the tree
I wonder what ye will find
As I dig within the tree
I fill my stomach with pebbles
Unfazed and bewildered
The smells make me shiver
Sounds unbeknownst to me
I hither...

My Lonely SymphoniesMy heart plays somber symphonies. It plays them exclusively for me. They are fragile and feminine. Breathtaking and melancholy. They perform songs of tragedy and cry out with sorrow but they are perceived by myself...
