  • Gone South

    No regret,
    nothing left.
    Maybe it’s my
    heart left to blame,
    for its gone
    south with the rest,
    waiting for something
    to put it…

  • She's one of a kind

    She’s like Snow White
    on the street,
    ready to eat.

    She’s like Rapunzel
    with hair so long
    it can’t be beat.

    She’s like Cinde…

  • A wish for another day

    Day One

    She had black eyes. They were beautiful, if not amazing. They were gleaming in the sunlight, but that was as far a…

  • Underneath the cycle

    Just point
    and blame
    and walk in shame.
    All ye’ need
    has gone to waste.
    Nothing left to stare
    upon.
    Doing things that
    you’ve …

  • Walking alone

    I can’t stand the way you walk,
    the way you talk.
    It don’t matter,
    nobody matters.
    You certainly don’t care,
    about anyone,
    bu…

  • Ready, Get Set, GO!

    Watch it.

    Watch what you say.

    No running now,

    So fire away!!!

  • The motherhood

    Ma,
    no one ever, ever, ever
    said it would be easy
    to be you.
    Of course you’re tired.
    Tired of us!
    And sick of us too
    ‘cause n…

  • Silent

    bite your lip
    bite your tongue
    just shut up
    just be quiet
    there’s no point anymore,
    talking.

  • One more time

    So, one more tissue,
    So, one more time,
    So, please just let me cry.

  • Goodnight

    No one spoke,
    No one said,
    About anything,
    Before I went to bed.

  • Other side

    Incorporated doom
    To the end.
    Judged in,
    Judged out,
    Gave many let downs.

  • Powder

    White powder dust
    Captured the free,
    Lost their minds
    Far beyond the sea.

  • Lost

    In the lost world,
    You’re out of the loop,
    Out of rhymes,
    Out of time.

  • On the wall

    Window, window,
    on my wall.
    Can you stand, through it all?
    Rain or shine.
    Hail or snow.
    Will you not let the breeze go?

  • I am...

    I am the background
    not even
    good enough to be a wallflower
    I am mute
    able to speak
    but can’t
    I am a notebook
    events always w…

  • One word.

    Why is it so far away?

    One word,
    can break me apart,
    chip me down,
    skinny.

    Why is the light always on the other side?
    But w…

  • Hear me. See me.

    I will stand,
    I will tell,
    The world my name
    Before it all comes to an end.
    Breaking and crumbling
    Into dust.

    That shall not…

  • A poet's challenge.

    A pencil or a pen,
    I don’t care.
    I just need to get one,
    quick!
    Oh, no.
    It’s almost gone.
    Where’s paper when I ever need it?
    ...

  • Winter Cold.

    I’m breathless,
    numb.
    I feel like a bunch of cotton balls
    the size of rams
    have been shoved up my nose.
    Everything feels forg…

  • Confusion and the rest.

    I wonder why.
    Why?
    Why are some people,
    Just too hard to even describe.
    Why don’t some people,
    Even know how much,
    Confusion,...
