I Still See You
The snow is raining down like blurry, white bullets when I see you again The sky is a blinding white, the chill of the winter biting and ruthless Yet there you are Standing as though the weather’s brutality is nothing Shrugging your shoulders as if it’s a mere inconvenience You outstretch your hand and immediately […]
Presentation, I’m Over You
Oh, presentation How you once weathered me down You brought endless bouts of anxiety Like ice picks lodged deep in my throat You drove hot coals into my lungs Causing each breath to be a strain You awakened a thrashing about in my stomach Like an angry snake which knows no rest Oh, presentation You […]
The Sun and the Moon
Does the sun weep when the moon makes her appearance? I do wonder Is he envious of her time spent with the earth? Does he wish to engulf her in his bright light, until she is nothing? When the nocturnal creatures crawl out of their dark burrows Eyes reflecting the light of the moon Does […]
I Am Here
Living, breathing, doing much more than simply existing I am solid, whole, without a doubt real I am to others as I am to myself: present and everchanging. I bear witness to the seasons which come and go The earth rotating on her axis The people passing me by I cannot stand idle I am […]

Do not come with me to the forest Heed my word, this is no place for man Do not be tempted by her inky beauty, her many companions She may try as she may to lure you with a promise of rich and enchanting beauty Of lush green grass But do not be enticed You […]

I wake when a dark and inky blanket is thrown across the sky Blacking out the sun and welcoming the nocturnal I rub my eyes and stars explode behind my eyelids Just as the stars of the night begin to burn in that void Multiplying, one by one, scattered like freckles on one’s face I […]

Ars Poetica
Oh, tell me what a poem does Does it hide and await to be found? A lyrical story behind an invisible veil Yet right there at the tip of your pencil? Or does it seek attention Like a child in a highchair Wailing, small hands outstretched Begging to be written? Is it powerful Like the […]
In The Short Grass
Oh my lady, what ails you so? You’ve staggered and fallen Rather ungracefully in the short grass Alone in this scene Your dress, it’s bundled at your ankles The wind licking at your exposed skin Your hair flowing about Dark whisps against the pale sky Oh my lady, I do not see your face But […]
