I speak yet no one hears I have a voice yet I am silenced In the chaos no one cares Eyes to see yet blinded Ears to hear yet no one hears Minds are programmed to ignore Hearts hardened No one feels I feel so alone In a world filled with people People too afraid to allow themselves to think To feel To...

The Reaper I know, You respect no one. When you decide to take one home, Age, color, accomplishments mean nothing to you In your court. You harvest every soul At your most convenience. In life's prime and low, you strike hard Without any consideration. You cause unexplained weeping And a void that will never be filled. You take when you want, Without...

‘Lone, my life decorate will I And joy of life create will I. A fast flowing streamlet am I, My way forward ferret will I. As my wishes are all my own, Carry ‘pon me their weight will I. What’s longing? Just a paper boat, Set it on sail my crave will I. She once called me a road-side stone, As...

Looking over my northern shoulder at the changing shades of day a weak winter sun turning twilight grey teardrops of rain on the window the gentle sigh of the wind storm clouds in the evening sky bring it all back again poring over unwritten letters in the solitude of night a dim lit candle shining star white light telephone silent unanswered candlelight quietly dimmed unwritten letters to...

A touch is a hug for the lonely, I thought as I sat on that plane. The sleeping man beside me, Would never know that feeling he made. As his head nodded off, His elbow extended to mine. This little little tap Echoed in a hollow mine. I savoured such a warm embrace, From the man that would never know me, But I couldn’t help...

The high and the lows, strife and blows Through high tides, and angry winds, Hurricanes and tornadoes Life stalls, uncertainity builds, fear beckons and faith dissolves But with the last ounce of hope, i cling to Psalms 46:1 Daunting opposition flanks all directions , Laying bare fibres of my imperfections. Trust turned to ammunition, piercing the fabric of my unsuspecting fondness. The multitudes in...

The sound of breaking is late. Thunder shatters gray clouds after lightning strikes the damp soil. When pieces of sky pierce flesh, the scream is slow to rise— The sound of breaking follows pain’s echo. The sound of breaking is gentle. Raindrops tiptoe on my eyelids— each sting a secret pressed down. Earth's unbridled tears fall for my...

Sometimes he eats in silence and still sets a plate for her. Sometimes the mirror fogs but her reflection stays. Sometimes he opens the closet just to breathe her in. Sometimes he flinches when her song enters the room. Sometimes he writes letters to a mailbox six feet deep. Sometimes he wears her favorite color like a wound. Sometimes he cooks...

The squirrel’s hell is, for the hound, heaven. And the rain, thunder, which flatten leaven, Quench also the thirst of blossom’d flowers. Tears spring forth joyful, in equal power With grief and lost hope. Mourning by morning, laughing and crying Roller coaster emotions’ living, dying. The hurt exquisite, the joy so fleeting, My soul stretched to infinities meeting. I scream, then...

Close friends don't know the pain I feel My broken heart can never heal Your sudden death was long ago The pain I feel, close friends don't know I can't forget your dying breath Was long ago your sudden death To think of you makes me upset Your dying breath I can't forget Alone each night, I feel so blue Makes me upset to...

They do not know I name them— the trees blackened by exhaust, asthmatic, stoic gods lining pedestrian bridges that never forget. Each leaf is a reluctant confessor. Each trunk remembers how I once pressed my palm and thought: You too are surviving this. I walk past ads that scream at no one. Past lovers who will never call again. Even the sky here has bills...

Alone I walk along the street that special someone I desperately seek That person to come and make me smile Yet I walk alone on my second mile ...

I am not my own Maybe I never was But now I’m simply alone I’m worthless Hiding in my mind With no one to impress Why can’t I be mine? No one close but evil eyes Praying on my downfall No matter what, they ignore my cries Watching as I crumble...
