I have so many questions; at least one for every person I have met, both the ones alive and the ones who are dead. I have so much to ask everyone because I want to understand my life and its […]
A pile of rubble, bricks and timber scattered on a plain. Some cluttered lines of trees alone is what remain. And weeds are sprouting through the waste uncaring and unkind. But then again – how could they care – does […]
An open, empty field covered only by the grass where something used to be – well, something had to pass I stare at the empty space and cannot fathom this – all that is left is emptiness Passing shooting stars […]
A lonely being, standing at the crossroad, abandoned by your family and friends – the healthy, youthful lot who once stood by you, now long gone – used as firewood by humans, made into planks, tools, ornaments of unknown use […]
I’ve wished that I was beautiful, spent years pining therefore – and wasted years on dreaming me into something I couldn’t be – just this I am; a crooked tree; the only beauty found in me sounds through my crooked […]
There’s a glow of orange on the horizon – a hidden city out of sight housing countless nameless people unlike me who don’t seek loneliness with every breath – it’s right over there behind the trees; right over there behind […]
It gathers on my drying lips – the dust of our lives. The dust of repetition, lives of dust that we must live, and dust-related lies as well that turn to stories which we tell and name as “memories” Lives […]
If I were a river flowing through the land my thoughts would be the delta for they get out of hand in their pursuit of oneness with oceans of wisdom which isn’t mine but others’ – most of whom long […]

Achievements – what are they? They’ll vanish when I’m gone, and though my heart is young my soul is ancient-old. I’ve known sorrow, known pleasure, and love is all I have to show, a love impeding every chance to grow […]
An absurd, pulsing flower – a nerve-cell throbbing with life, pulses of light moving swiftly through the night in yellowish bursts as I observe here elevated in the skies – What could be beautiful is a parasite on the face […]
Where I am heading there’s no light – you brought that with you too; it rested in your golden hair and when you aren’t with me here I’m left in darkness and despair. Where I am heading there’s no sight […]
Memories I’d forgotten surge forward to beleaguer my brain when I see your face again Forever ago we lay in the grass in my parents yard after class looking up into the branches of the old beech tree, wondering how […]
The happiness we find along the way we’ll lose someday but the happiness we find within ourselves will never stray; it stays to warm our hearts and guide us right on till the end – do not believe in buying […]
Yes, I remember but if nothing had hurt there would’ve been nothing to remember – just the same dreary, empty days I forget – repetitive chores I forget – an endless cycle of regret If nothing had hurt I wouldn’t […]
My memories escape my brain invading my surroundings I can remember what remains of thousands of ventures however incomplete they are alluring anyway do you remember too, and will you listen? Will you stay? Do you remember afternoons with ice […]
