The Drought

Published on Wed, 20th Aug 2025 at 23:04

Low upon the lake, a docile crescent moon; abash, yet stolid, and luminous to a fault. The stars lays silent, affixed upon the sky, and this thespian claims the night, as a daughter purloins the south. What of the black dahlias? in repose they haunt the fields

Hollow Dreams

Published on Wed, 20th Aug 2025 at 16:20

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

What Game Do True Lovers Have?

Published on Tue, 19th Aug 2025 at 23:07

What game do true lovers have? garish clothes unlike any of mine? what ambient waves unfurl the sheets and beget a dream still wasted on the young? Look at me! they scream and plead; photos capture the naked truth and thread the walls on desperate screens;

The Summit

Published on Mon, 11th Aug 2025 at 23:27

Whether or not I will reach the summit, my desires still speak in soft, berry-shaped tones; a morass path of which I cannot recall, awaits for me in the appalachian springs, and renders a song that would leave the hummingbirds in awe; will my heart feel peace

Oh Tempest!

Published on Wed, 6th Aug 2025 at 23:35

Oh tempest, break the adamantine waves, and let this habitation breathe; what of the strakes that break the hull? a home for those smaller than thee. Upon the mast, our dreams are tied, as we await the gales abatement; what of sails that flail from the yards? a

Horsemen

Published on Tue, 5th Aug 2025 at 22:41

Sick, is death, and riven with plagues and preachers toil for life; but wait, famine is drunk on power, and fate. Fallacies prevail with weapons aloft, and heads await on remedies bled; but wait, the conquests are fairly seen, and death unveils his thrown,

I Must Be Down by the Sea Again

Published on Tue, 5th Aug 2025 at 00:53

I must be down by the sea again, I must be all but me. I must be down with my dreams again, I must be all but free. I must be down, I must be me, I must be me again, but here. I must be down by the sea again, I must be all but fear ...

The Tree and All Her Dreams

Published on Mon, 4th Aug 2025 at 23:50

Decaying, it may be, the tree and all her dreams; saplings yearn for freedom, but death has learned to see. Competent, he may be, and unending as the tide, and hide, he may try, but further, she did see ...

Peonies Suffice

Published on Mon, 7th Jul 2025 at 23:43

Peonies suffice with the role of the dice; think twice, did not, yet thrice I tried, and memories regale the mewling advice. Peonies suffice with a hand on the dice; wish twice, now thrice, yet one is the face, and memories aloft in a gleeful

My Heart Must Be a Bird

Published on Sun, 6th Jul 2025 at 22:35

My heart must be a bird, for I have seen it fly away. Immortal, is my fantasy, yet still too far today. Fallen boughs upon the knoll, so nowhere is safe to land? what of me remains to stand, in the hope that she will return ...

We Outgrew Our Hearts

Published on Sat, 5th Jul 2025 at 23:57

We outgrew our hearts, like so many things, and stentorian silence is the crown that sings. Our antique words, so brittle, unworn, may rend what dwells, and yearn to be born. We outgrew our hearts, like so many beats, yet dulcet voices is the rescue

What Word of the Daffodils?

Published on Wed, 2nd Jul 2025 at 23:47

The violets are lost, with roses in dwam, and carnations weep where the lilies may meet. The tulips wonder where the daisies sleep; and what of the orchids? the violets still ask. The bluebells pine for the sunflowers heart, and poppies are

Beloved

Published on Mon, 23rd Jun 2025 at 22:05

Beloved! manifestations drip from this weary earnest heart; as if someone, maybe a lonely rose, beseeched an early path. As carnations weep in soil, the kind I've yet to spoil, escort me, my sonorous wren, as I have yet to sale... Beloved! manifestations

Eyes

Published on Sun, 25th May 2025 at 21:52

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? my
