I don’t want anything, except for the things everyone else has.
The moments of simple joy and quiet pause
when hope isn’t needed, or ever required.
I want the moment of life, simple and unedited
full of passion and lust, desire and greed,
when breathing is deep and sexual.
I want the seconds to last,
beyond the fraction of time I have, […]
Could one believe, to never reach,
Having known everything so close.
You were perfect, beyond adoration.
Yet I had to go, from restful dreams I awoke.
My soul was yours, lost figment that wasn’t real,
The moment you showed me what I couldn’t have.
Closed doors, open trails,
How could I never question leaving?
I tried to believe, to deny this world,
As my […]
There comes a moment, when trust and faith become meaningless. Little words that define nothing, as if black had no white. They share such a common theme that they are inherently held together, like a body and soul.
Yet my body lacks a soul. I swear that my breath causes my lungs to raise, only if […]
This started as a poetry piece that quickly developed into a larger creative story this afternoon. It is a character development item for a story I am working on, and some readers have said it is somewhat disturbing. In any case, rip it apart.

Nothing could simply be more forgiving than the damning feelings of quickly feeling that subtle want of loving taste.
Life pulsing slowly, saying soothing words that are simply nothing more than whispering memories of fading desire.
Dream now my love as I never say these words to your ear as I am but a silent […]
If I loved you
could you love me too
If I was a dream
would I dare to release
care to scream
at me the fool
should I stare at this thing
hoping my heart is not just a tool
do I bare myself and reveal this to you?
Thoughts so subtle she couldn’t hear
She had beauty beyond what could be said
Never knew I was thinking of wishing her near
She had beauty beyond what could be said
Never said never said
The reasons behind were the reasons ahead
Never said never said
Beauty so bold it could never be said
Smiling and laughing she had beauty so bold
Words couldn’t […]
Sometimes there are so many things to question. In any type of relationship there are things to question, but I purposely try not to think about them. Sometimes there are decisions that you can look at and think how it would all change if someone felt different or had made another decision. I thought back […]
You never knew
How much I cherished you
I miss you today as if you were gone
My words never conveyed this feeling
The reasons why this friendship went wrong
I wish that you could hear this heartfelt reasoning
My silence was the pain that never should have been felt
Please forgive me for what I should have spoke to you each […]
I hate this feeling of glass
I fear it day and night
I hold myself from pushing too far
I despise that this is my freedom
I dare not break this thing I made
I keep it to protect my life apart
I damn myself for loving others
I care for those I see
I confess my will has broken me
I hear the […]
