The reality be told, it was not long past, Flabbergast by an unfold from my mind’s vague vast, In reflections of the accounts of my youth, Echoes formed, all claiming to be truth. Must be fabricated, they’re so over the top, Consulted a friend, a retired old cop, He said no evidence on the inquires I’d send, Crazies, PTSD’s—false memories blend. ...

Hello, Hello, just a shadow In a rat race on game show it’s a rat race on a circus show Just a game for the cat chase, In a rat race against the cat chase In this circus show On my tiptoe, for Romeo Under the mistletoe But the lifeguard let go Manifesto I'm in denial I'm in denial Hunted by a crocodile I'm swimming idle I'm swimming...

Loving it was And so beautiful Soft it was And so addictive Like the trees that were planted last spring We could’ve grown together Like the weather moving We could’ve changed together Ignored it was But I still loved Forgotten it was But I could handle it Like a fire that needs to be fed You longed for more Like salt on an opened wound Your words...

People say that you can’t tell the difference of a scream of joy from a scream of pain. A scream of pain is a scream of anger Guttural, loud, violent , Gunfire that is ricocheting Through your mind, body, soul. A scream of joy is a breath of fresh air, A sense of calm that is washed over you. While...

What I sing from my chest Only for ivory keys to hear. Are the same old words That cracked lips bear. That familiar tune that calloused fingers play Is the one that my own heart aches to say. I have plucked and I have strummed But when its my own heartstrings That are plucked for the masses Will my soul succumb or...

You had two months to live No one told you, no one warned you No one knew I can’t look you in the eyes I tried, a thousand times But what once felt safe seemed savage What once was certain proved damaged The wreckage was drastic Do I blame myself? Or do I blame you? You had two days to live No one told you, no...

I'll be fine tomorrow— a whispered promise to no one, to myself. It's a nuisance, a pain in the assiduous characters of my intellect, unrelenting, well-meaning, but delusional, nothing truly unusual. I'll feel fine in a week. Only the weak build paper-thin walls - desperate shields against a crumbling sky. They're cracking, but denial is refuge. For now. Maybe a month or two? Freedom is just a few short stretches...

-Slow down- Even the sounds of rushing red waters pulsing... drown out the beats that blare in my head - Slow Down - My thoughts spin like a carousel of fervent beats, while I watch the harbors of still waters, a gentle surrender to time, drift away. Every stride toward solace meets the rush of a furious current that demands to be heard. BREATHE They say. But...

There’s a storm that swirls within my chest, A jigsaw puzzle never blessed. I’ve tried to sort the pieces right, But they just scatter in the night. I’ve got a drawer that’s full of maps, Plans for futures, perfect gaps. But the ink’s run out, and the edges tear, As if my thoughts don’t want to care. I carry joy like paper cranes, Tattered,...

She looked up as if expecting me, or perhaps just the wind— it was hard to tell. A teacup floated beside her, steam curling into the shape of a sleeping cat. “Stories,” she said, “make the world wobble slightly less. Do you have one with a cloud that forgot how to rain, or a fox who dreams in third person?” I didn’t, but...

I am the pause in a planet’s breath, A glitch in the code between birth and death. I am the whisper in fungal lace, Routing news through forest space. I’m tectonic gossip, slow and deep, A quarrel continents keep in sleep. I am the thought a comet had Just once—before it went full mad. I’m birdpath memory, sky-sketched lines, Migration's rumour through tangled spines. I’m...

Upon the Moon, I placed with care A locket filled with solar air— A breath I took the day you died, Now sealed where tides no longer ride. It hums, though no one hears it sing, A note encased in nothing’s ring. Its chain wraps round a silver stone As if to say, You’re not alone. A child of stars may find it...
