Alone Not LonelyCharlie is awkwardly social.
He lives his life on a cycle.
He sometimes meets buddies,
He likes to work on his studies,
Charlie is awkwardly social.
Alfie is cheery and popular,
He’s considered rather jocular
He often meets friends,
Hoping the night never...

Rainy NightIt was raining.
I thought I’d wait it out.
I tuned the engine on to help.
Still in place, but the engine rumbles.
Flipping through the stations.
Music, static, music.
Cloying sounds, I’m used to it.
It’s only a drizzle now.
I turn...

The Compassion I Didn't HaveWe thought life would have been
so simple: flowers and hugs,
sentimental nights and songs;
then, reality came with its pain...
we were no longer that invincible,
rather two people so gullible!
The compassion I didn't have
hurts inside, now it's tearing...

Nature's Flower Runs Through My FearsNature's flower runs through my fears,
Her old seasons there interceding
On the silver gray blunt of the shears,
Where the stem—sharpened by night—is keeping
For the day's rain starving in the clouds;
This time, it needs your weeping.
When coming...

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
but my brain, its neurons refusing
to fire like the...

reverieAn existential crisis
Left to my own devices
Not an ounce of assistance
Never show any resistance
Just comply and let it be
Dignity isn't a necessity
I'm not the flower you'd pick from a garden
Orchids are beautiful, I'm a sight...

Motheredopposite the I,
is where i reside.
endure and bide,
endlessly.
You see My person,
nod at this version,
never question My identity,
You're right in me, not entirely.
Your gaze cant see,
everything outside Me,
ever watching you,
unaware I am two.
observe me please,
ease my...

A solitary figureIn the dimly lit corners of her existence,
She lingered, a ghost in the midst of persistence.
From the womb, she was marked, a black sheep born,
Destined to wander, forsaken and torn.
In childhood's tender grasp, she stood...

Happy Mothers DayI was often sad
alone as a child
the stroller with no face
a forgotten object
an obligation
my father was no better
my mother is dead now
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

My Mistress, the Moon
From mine chamber, breathless and perspiring upon the bed,
I spy you there, out my window, looming overhead.
Your gaze, a silent arbiter in the night,
I cloak my naked shame, to veil my plight.
Reigning atop her...

The BuffaloNo one’s exactly sure how this buffalo in the 1960s
Found its way to live in the heart of the city
How it separated from a sky stampede
How the great beast dropped its guard and refused to...

A tarnished soulHere's a story poem about a girl's tragic descent, imbued with dark imagery:
A Broken Doll's Lament
Tiny fingers, a gap in the wood, a scene etched in fright,
A scream ripped from silence, shattering the night.

Marionette of Flesh in a Borrowed Dress"Marionette of Flesh in a Borrowed Dress"
- Daniel Henry Rodgers
The hourglass,
a skeletal jester,
mocks in the tomb's chill,
Each falling grain an emaciated sigh,
"Soon you'll cease to be."
The mirror's cold reflection,
a Gorgon's ghastly...
