Poetry

The stars have grown deeper than before. They were always there, bright and remote, but now they enter the extra years in me and, in their light, I become more than I was. The years have driven on and on, leaving vast distances between this place and the one I came from, that half-remembered home. Starlight bends inside my eyes. Time is nothing if...

Life is harsh to the one who consents to be touched by it. Most withdraw early, erecting high, polished walls of indifference - I do not condemn them; their fortress serves them well. Yet what they gain in safety, they surrender in all else. Only later, when the mirror no longer flatters, does the fierce hunger begin to loosen its jaws. Then...

My first memory is filled with music. I listened to the ensemble of senses. The five instruments intertwined and Confirmed their findings to each other. My paradigm built itself harmonically. I was introduced to a glorious myriad Of mystical notes marvelously arrayed. And I understood that it is everywhere. I would create shapes while dreaming Of...

When winter turns, The senses bloom! You can feel it. And your heart races too. It is more than the new pollen, The new slant of light, The early birds, And the warmth. You can never transcribe it. And in the north, You can feel it in March Rushing through your veins. I want to tell you that I love you, life. And it's been a long time since I...

Can I die for just one day? I want nothing to do with Tomorrow, I want to float away To a black void, and lay. Not hours ago was I okay, A few sharp syllables But Hope St. declined steep So I shall want nothing more, but to rest, At the bottom eternally For a Day. I'll die for a Day, But shant stay Longer than 12 hours I think By then I'll be...

A blank white page empty as it were never change in nature just be as you are for every time I try to pen a pressing thought rams hard An empty page keeps the silence sharp than a thousand hollow words.

Why do I stand here, screaming? Into this stormy weather. Do I want to be heard, or am I to afraid? To get noticed… Why does it have to be? All or Nothing! I have you, I am happy. No one gets me, the world falls apart. Trying, but not hard enough Doing it all at once, no focus Try to focus, nothing gets done Screaming! So loud, but nothing. Fall...

Maybe I was the villain in your story I took out my temper on you, couldn’t handle my emotions or spoke without thinking. Perhaps I was just a teenager that didn’t know how to act. Immature and selfish. I didn’t know how to reflect others feelings and was just too much into my own pain. Maybe I was the hero in your life Stood up for you, tried to...

Darkness hidden within your soul Overlooked like that little mole, Metastasizing, spreading rot, You must cut it loose with all you’ve got The forgiveness will help you To heal your soul If you refine it, purging dirt from ore, You’ll shine like gold, of this I am sure.

He does not ask the forest to witness his courage. He walks where roots remember and leaves forget. No drum announces him. No crown waits on his brow. He carries his law in silence, and silence obeys. He was never meant to bend for meat, never shaped to dance for approval. What he takes, he earns. What he keeps, he guards within. Alone is not...

On an endless road I walk, empty, with peace in evening's dark, as if for my love to show to those who will never know. Where tranquil truth takes its turn, where all the love stories burn, where lies, like vapours, fade, where life can thrive in death's shade. Of all the roadblocks that I saw, were just lies that my mind had told. And now,...

Autumn leaves do but fall Withering, dropping, do they all Leaving room for next year’s group The old replaced by the youth Such is life in every vein The future born of past years pain Do not despair those drifting away Remember the beauty that came your way When in the autumn of your life Rejoice the young leaves coming alive.
