You caused my tears to flow
Frightened me for enjoyment
Why do you hate me so?
Did I deserve such torment?
...

I feel the crushing pain in my soul
That knocks me out of my body
And collapse into a black hole
How does it still hurt when I'm empty?
...

All
Bats
Course
Downwind
...

Life to me, is like a pair of jeans
Some of them shouldn't be seen
Others are too short
Or has begun to distort
...

Hiding behind the leaves
Tightly wound amongst its thorns
The drooping bud grieves
When full petals it adorns
...

I want to make the pen dance across the paper
The ink to reflect what I feel
I want the rhyme to match the beat of my heart
The reader's breath I want to steal
...

She carries every misshapen, rough problem
Works over them tirelessly until she reaches the sea
Where she releases her smooth stones of wisdom
To go where they need to be
...

...

I run inside, lock the door.
Clutching you close to my chest,
No one will interrupt us evermore.
Not wasting time, I get undressed.
...

...

...

Butterfly, butterfly, up so high
Your radiant colors as you glide
As the mockingbird sings so sweet and soft
Flowers of beauty and rich scents fill the air with tranquility and calmness
...

2012

My first
...

...

We're all wondering in the dark,
Our souls lighting the way.
When someone has lost their spark
We can help them burn, bright as day.
...

...

There once was a unicorn so bald
The naked fairytale it was called
Shamed by his lack of hair
He donned some underwear
...

Why form attachments
To people who will leave?
Life and hope make no sense
When love means we must grieve.
...

The stars in the sky
Filled me with a sense of calmness
Punctuating the darkness
Then something caught my eye
...
