Up the Hill

As pain courses through her veinsFrom head to ten toes,Flashbacks in her mindOf sins she committed, God knows. Seeking forgiveness, she praysSilent tears roll from her eyes,Too many wrongs doneBreaking many relationship ties. The years had been long,...

Crushed

Staring out from sunken sockets,Hands sticking into pockets.Back and shoulders hunched,While your spirit, crushed.Look, yet see nothing,Ears fine, can’t hear a thing.This is not the way to react,Though big is the impact.We’d like to reach inside you,...

Only Thoughts

Two trains on the same track heading towards one another meet; Steam pours from their smokestacks; Whistles blow, splitting the otherwise silent scene; The two conductors shout at one another in different dialects of Gibberish.         ‘ZEE ZEM ZOO Z...

Bonkers

In the days, darkest,Feel like I’m going bonkers.The sky could be starlit,All I see is a black sheet. My skull is highly pressured,Of an easy life, not assured.As I could burst a vein,Going to drive in the slow lane. Can’t make out what’s the matter,...

I've only myself to blame,For this hard road I walk,For choosing this path,For not listening to you.I've only myself to blame,For not working as hard,For taking things for granted,For not achieving my goals.I've only myself to blame,For not believing...

One day while the demons were busy Gnawing away at my backside, I had an epiphany and realized, Though the demons did bite, They could not actually eat me. Except for my attention, I could not be consumed. And I began to wonder If perhaps I could Eat...

As I lay here against the breezeMemories invade my thoughts,Shaded under the palm treesBrushing sand from my shorts.So many things I want to sayCan't find the words to express,Nothing uttered turns out rightlySo just bottle up in my chest.Children pl...

Moment Frozen Forever

As the last breath is exhaledThe tears roll down,This is it, the final goodbyeAnd there is no reverse. The chime of the clockCatches your attention,You look at the timeThe moment frozen forever. The world continues to spinNothing seems to change,Yet,...

Shared Past

I hear their complaints and criticisms, a verbal argument spilling down the hallway.  They are adult siblings. There has been a death in the family.  Their voices are harsh, laden with profanity. No one is happy to be here,  until one of them opens u...
