I whispered her name under my breath, as if I was saying good-bye to a lover who would never realize how I felt. For once in my life I thought about that moment not like I had done before, but finally like I was alive. I could feel so much more than the denial I […]
I remember the day very clearly, there was a fine mist in the air and the morning dew formed droplets of water on the brim of my hat as I bowed my head. I was doing everything I could to remember a better place, trying to forget the memories that caused the tears on my […]
Okay. I must be bored off my rocker. I figure that I’ll torture you with funny holiday poetry that I wrote up.
I hope everyone out there takes a moment and appreciates what they have. There are a lot of people in my life that I care for, a lot of people I love, and I […]
I dreamdt with slow tangible thoughts
taking each breath with desire,
the smell, the fragrant hope of passion,
as your eyes look into me,
and as I lovingly surrender to what I feel.
My mind, every simple simple thought,
is perfectly ignored, as I can only focus on you.
The way you make me live, the way you make me feel,
the peace […]
Such peaceful thoughts are strangely whimsical,
knowing that life is not an empty white page
nor does it have boundaries that define everything.
Each line, dotted or whole, leads somewhere.
Touching as if they were spirited children on a playground
and forming something of anyone’s imagination.
Yet white would be the preferred starting color of any masterpiece
eagerly begging to have colour […]
LoL, It really isn’t a bitter year! This is just poetry for the day. I’m laughing I wrote this when I’m having such a good morning!

Trying to feverishly hold to delicate thoughts,
As my body grows cold and my heart numb
I hear whispers against the chime […]
I tried forgetting myself
deep within the well of desire
mostly lost in discarded passion
and fruitless isolation
It was not my mind
keeping me prisoner behind this facade
but my heart as I poured forth
and tasted the nectar of my labour run dry
Random words treaded across my spirit
leaving marks that tore into my carefree demeanour
and pushed my nature deeper, without […]
One would remember this time of year, not as a time of brilliant imagery
but of lucid memory falling fragrantly into moments of sight
As my eyes would look upon the sun high above, as it touched heaven
and as my eyes looked upon a field of nature’s bloom
I would not be able to detail my vision, my […]
There was a moment,
when I was younger.
A second that I remember
as if it was right now.
I was laying in a park
in a lush green field,
surrounded by daisies.
My eyes were closed,
yet I was so sure that I wasn’t alone.
Having been perfectly lost
in daylight dreaming.
I was pondering the feeling
of being me,
living my life as I needed to […]
