Soloism – December 30, 2021
The warm tears Swell, before they break Leaving behind A cool stream Running down my face Hiding the remnants, behind The closed door Just feet away From all of life
Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021
Traipsing Inside the inklings Of time Picked up By the wanderers Who have nothing to forgive Because forgiveness itself Seems to be letting go Or so I’ve been told Inside the glimmers of light The sun will eventually Hand over the day To the moon Seemingly scattered These dreams I’ve had A million times Wandering … Continue reading Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021

I need a minute, it’s dark out there.
Collected Vapor – December 13, 2021
I forget sometimes How to disappear Letting go Of a lot more Than I hold Except for you I will never know How to let go Of you
Cuts Deep – November 29, 2021
I’m telling you And I know She was better than me But any mom Her heart would break If you called her by her name We worked too hard to bring you into this world For you to take us out Like that

Drowning it all out Pulling grass blades with the swipe of my nail Piled and Waiting for the wind to borrow them for awhile
Happiest Dream – November 15, 2021
We sat And we stared Across the street from her grave
Hollowed Out – November 20, 2021
I prayed And begged I promised And when I grasped to hold you There was nothing Empty I pushed it all away
Psych-ic-otic – November 5, 2021
I’ve seen things Coming around the corner These things would frighten anybody To unlock my mind Is the only way you’ll ever know I’m not sharing
Meet Me Where Our Eyes Connect – July 11, 2021
I’ve sat with it Torn it from my still beating heart Felt it slip through my finger tips And grabbed it by the hair Kicking and screaming It hurts so bad I can see the pain In other’s eyes Never returning the favor It’s there It will always be And I know I’m closer to … Continue reading Meet Me Where Our Eyes Connect – July 11, 2021

I want you to see how broken I am I’ve always been
Detritus – July 8, 2021
I am still here Paper thin Scrapping the bottom In a sea of daydreams Spent on things All sorts of things Never to replace You
C’est Moi – September 10, 2021

Planets filled with stars Finding there way These eyes Floating Just as I imagine In the nighttime sky An ink drawing Coming to me in color So bright It burns And in the ashes I toss like freshly fallen leaves Turning to soot And then to you I open these eyes And stare right back
Talking to you…10/27/21
PARTS AND PIECES Sabbatical House There was this house we lived in, and it was the only house we lived in I always felt like a visitor. The sabbatical house, where nothing was really ours.

This is the Middle – October 6, 2021
I’m worried Because Your eyes tell a story Of space Uninterest You look through me If at me at all And sometimes I’ll find you off in the distance The only emotion you commit to Is lying down On your own sword But even then You tell me again and again You’re only Responding to … Continue reading This is the Middle – October 6, 2021
