Song 2014

If I had to write a song for

You…

I’d undoubtedly sing it all night

Long…

Add a beat to the rhythm

Of…

Our hearts and a mix until it

Clicks…

So it will all fall into

Place…

I’m making the

Music…

While facing the

Music…

Remembering the first time I saw

Sparks…

Memories can never be

Replaced…

Happy New Year! May you be blessed in 2014 🙂

The Journey Home

The forest is dense with the overgrown bush, off the beaten path. I lost all sense of time during this walk, and sense of direction. I’m lost in my thoughts, since my memories are blowing in the wind.

I have no recognition when the day gave way to darkness. The clouds are menacing and casting a thick blanket of shadows in the woods. The tree branches are waiting to attack me, with outstretched limbs.

A calming misty fog dampens my hair, and sweats runs in my eyes. It’s uncanny; yet peaceful.

My ankles are cold. I bend down to pull up my socks, only to see I am barefooted. The moonlight cast a pool of thick, dark blood on both of my feet.

I look behind me. There are tracks of blood that have been following me. I think I’ve bled out.

I’m dizzy seeing red. I’m going home.

Good night world!

Frozen

When I stepped

Outside…

I couldn’t help but

Stare…

My expression is

Fixed…

The grass is

Frozen…

And the trees are

Bare…

My heart is

Empty…

I am an icy

Chunk…

A frigid bit

Of…

The element

Freezing…

In the

Air…

In Darkness It Falls

The loneliness

Seeps…

In darkness it

Falls…

From tears that I

Weep…

It creeps through the

Windows…

And slithers up the

Walls…

It’s usually festering

Deep…

In my

Soul…

It surrounds me in

Blackness…

In darkness it

Falls…

The Final Voyage

A maiden voyage of no

Return…

I snuck aboard I was on the

Run…

A gangster mind without a

Gun…

An abandoned life that wasn’t

Fun…

In search of a new

Horizon…

In view of a brighter

Sun…

My battle is over

I…

Did it; I

Won…

When I look in the

Mirror…

What I see, is a

Replica…

Of me

What’s invisible is the

Pain…

That burdens

Me…

Perhaps this will cease

To exist

Once…

My mind is

Free…

And my heart only

Belongs…

To me

I wish to be

A single…

Leaf…

Hanging on

One…

Family tree

A Woman Scorned

Photo credit

She stalks

Gracefully…

During the

Night…

High-stepping

Wearing…

Black five-inch

Spikes…

She is a smooth

Talker…

With a wicked

Agenda…

When she speaks

Her…

Voice sings a

Rhapsody…

She entices the

Gullible…

It doesn’t matter

Where…

She lures

Any…

Man

She…

Strikes precisely and

Kills…

She is a woman

Scorned…

Why…No Response?

Silence

Speaks

In

Multitudes

Of

A

Lack

Of

Communication

Emotion

Concern

Consideration

And…

Lovers

Without

Desire

Have

An

Absence

Of

Fire

I’m

Cold

Lonely

And

Blue

Not

Understanding

You…

Banished Or Vanished?

Love was banished

From…

The heart, or

Did…

It vanish?

Either way, I felt

Anguish…

From the strain

The…

Pain of being

Torn…

Apart, from the norm

I…

Am waiting to be

Reborn…

Never again to feel

Scorned…
