War Today

Antennas that strangle, wireless phones mangle, so much communication, so little connection. The beating of drums and signals of smoke herald our undoing, might as well go for broke. This is the...

Recycled

A pen in my hands is worth two heavy books, Gather round and have a look, What I have here is nothing to fear, Mingled truths in separate booths.

Doubting Drizzle

Falling tears and falling rain, Pool about my feet, These words I cannot stomach. Hidden meaning and twisted phrases, Put me through the grinder of phases, Each emotion stronger than the one befo...

Wildling

A dirty face, smiling back, playful bees fly and sit nearby, That flower, looks like how I feel on the inside. Don’t get discouraged, there is beauty all around you. Smile, Breathe, Remember. Eve...

A Filthy Clean

This Hopeless Troupe

Bubbles are popping and windows dropping Doors closing with everyone posing As this memory is imprinted, our imperfections never hinted And we’ll hide it all away As colors fade and turn to grey ...
