Little Bird
The lonely bird flitted from branch to branch In search of company and companionship But at every turn it was denied, “Too different! Too different!” Yelled they all They couldn’t bear to watch Or understand How it lived its life. It hunted late at dawn And woke up at its pleasure It gathered no trinkets […]
The Empty Cup
To what end Can we pour from a cup Cracked in two, Apathy and misery Bleeds through, The cracks clamber up The tree of tales, We filled another’s cup To the very brim And left ours upturned. Devout and holy In our love, We prostrated ourselves For hours Waiting, Our calls unanswered We grew impatient, […]
A Bad Day
Falling asleep at 1AM To an alarm that did not ring, Waking up late To a cup of coffee That does not exist, Running around in circles Waiting for the water to heat Only to find out That the tap wasn’t fixed. Late, late, We seem to be late, The day can’t get any worse, […]
Love: The Fantasy Of A Rational Mind
The human mind is a curious thing Thoughts run faster than we think, Fewer things stand out louder than emotions Lies that generations have built, To what do I owe the pleasure of what I feel? This unexpected reality? Faced with this castle of lies Though the truth is bitter, It’s the sweet illusion that […]
Dirty Human Soup
To be human Is to be flawed Directionless And a little bit lost To move in ways Not known to man To flutter about In an unknown land. We are an odd species Mysterious even to ourselves, We fight against our instincts To only prove ourselves wrong, Our pride wins over reason The words of […]
Ananke
Mercy and love the gods bestowed . . . Paths merged and submerged in chaos Springing from the hands of fate, A map with no direction we followed Led by the hand of Chronos alone, Dusted in the sands of time And wrapped firmly in his coils, All our tomorrow’s faded into today Yet we […]
The Invisible Monster
The silence hung heavy As she lay between the sheets, The whispers grew louder And the silence soon turned to shrieks. The unsaid and unspoken Soon took shape and form, Regrets and remorse Sharper than daggers, Kept her warm. The voices a jumble of words, Worries, fears, lies and dreams, All bundled under a […]
My Tribe
We chose to spiral together . . . Upon a path cracked and curved, We walked alone, Lost and aimless Unloved but undeterred, Words from another made no mark, Ours was a story carved in blood, Engraved in pain, Wrapped within the teardrops, That flowed in the dark. We existed in a world far apart, […]
A Universe Of Wants
The combined entity of desire and loss . . . Tearing through the fabric of time, Shifting the cosmos aside, I met you where the galaxy ended, Awe struck and lost, Heart all lit up, A blood rich, beating bolide. I spun in an elliptic, A singular orbit of the isolated, Reds, greens and blacks […]
Sunflower
The petals of the dead . . . Caught under the dried ground The tired bud unfurls and climbs, A slow decent towards the pale glow The fading promise of light. Twisting, bending, and shifting through the soil, Leaping towards the stray droplets in hunger, Undeterred by the shaking and rumbling ground. The bud peeked […]
