POEM: 29

The frost upon my window
Like that on your soul
Is something I don't feel
Dressed up for heartbreak
Can I shed my skin?
And let the wind sink in
Remind me of sixteen
With the world
And everything in between
In my palm
And we knew no harm

Meet the lives we never knew
Nooses to the willow
Beat the strives of all we choose
Roses for the heirloom

POEM: That Let Go

Lovers embrace as the sulfur cloud rises While a moonshiner does what he does best The subtle grace of this tangerine escapade Was still portrayed by their yet hopeful face I see the blue flame dancing Not as wild as the fables of the old But mild enough to get you through the cold While a carnival of carnivores feast in the corner Immune to the carousel of mongrels Never to realize that it's all a repeat The parade of a century A floundering zeitgeist seasoned with the curse of pride All was defined to be turned twisted and molded to use A silk scarf is two pulls away from being a noose Once you were carefree but were named careless Twice you were human but none could care less While you ponder through the ticking.. The gift of desensitization is priceless Lovers embrace only when the sulfur crowd rises

POEM: Subline

Cover me in a veil of sorrow And i will give you my shame As i rest my bones Against the waves That will only be as dense As my heart is... Once and always Twice and never Breaths taken  And baits forsaken As you reach a point Where instincts dissolve And senses falter By vice or by choice As you are tired  To even express... Just as you are tired Of not being expressive Just as you are sad Of not being mad anymore Quite as you are mad Of not being seen Just as you chose not to see Believe your sin Indifference is a duality... Glazed in vanity, inanity and profanity Sanity, reign a day, rein a tic, heretic verity Seraphic brevity, clarity, always just out of reach And I will not preach As i chose not to listen What you prose to teach Cower me in a labyrinth of tomorrow... And i will revel you to my grave..
