There was a part of me that loved you,
there was a part that died; as suddenly
as you came, my heart did part the blood,
and through the path, I walked,
with no rhythm, and no sight,
as the walls came crashing down;
that part of me still loves you ...

A Stillness Found My Form

A stillness found my form,
flailing silently away;
fame, a fickle food,
conferred the chosen day.
Crumbs of graceless photos
furnish the scrolling plays,
and then came the hawks
to denude the welcome stay!
Pieces of my soul adrift,
yet quietly, my

Death Is a Common Fight

Death is a common fight
we find within the light;
do you jest?
or stay your hand?
an ocean reeps the floor,
with little chance of succour;
and what of tomorrow?
Death is a common fight
we crown before the night;
do you prevail?
or flaunt your coronet?

Her Smile

Effulgent, her smile; soft and warm,
where sunlight wraps its soul ... behold!
Weary, yet dogged, the moon does ache;
what of her day will grace this heart?
Vast, yet sewn, these swathes of trees;
deeper from me, her lies do bleed.
Effulgent, her smile; sweet, but worn,

Why Am I So Different?

Why am I so different?
Is it my mind, heart, or soul?
When will this madness end?
What will be the toll?
I am further away from my youth,
and fewer days latch to any sense;
yet onward, I continue;
Why am I so different?
I am shunned by differing

Hollow Dreams

Hollow dreams awaken me
from an anxious sleep; opaque skies
cloud the arcane sun, and what looms
is crushed beneath my soul.
Velvet rays dry my eyes, as yearning
beats no more; madness lingers, but not
what's seen, and cerulean skies
cast the pastures

Eyes

No eye, for this eye;
as for me, you are blind;
as unraveled as the sheets
that await before my sleep.
No rivulets seep from my skin,
no fallacies reign in the deep;
for time is a war of attrition,
nothing more than a tradition;
and what of me, you ask?
