What drives your writing? Emotions I;E: anger, dispair, feeling of being lost or behind, happiness, etc? Why did you start? Curious of what makes others tick. What drives you're style? What methods do you apply? (edited)

The legions take an oath of love, And swear by death it's true, But I a vow more sacred give: My dear, I'd live for you. For each day new disaster brings, As summer fades to fall, And though grief soars on mounted wings, For you, I'll brave it all. Though death may part the faint of heart, And... read more

Strolling at night, Under a moonlit sky, I wonder why, I am who I am. On the green and vast meadow, I lay myself, Stars gazing at me from down below, Sparkling and shining by itself. A magnificent sight, I found up above, But nothing new, Is there to view. I lay motionless, With empty... read more

*** Did I say that you can do anything? — And "no" And silence And a touch of a light smile — And here you are — the ray between the lines The dreaming reed bowed — Fly, dream I don't want to do anything except you Silence No Care Smiles light touch I catch the ray between the... read more

Who will be my midnight muse? The one who dances along with the shadows. In midnight’s embrace, my muse takes form, Dancing gracefully with shadows, a silent storm. The moon like a spotlight on your magnificent existence, a fire burning ever so bright within my soul. I’ll admire your... read more

As we run head long towards the abyss We do not take the time to pay attention to the things we shall surely miss Its human nature I suppose To neglect and over look all those Whom we take for granted heaven knows That soon enough we will end up just a feast for the crows That's how the story... read more

My brain pushes her away from me.. Only to satisfy itself by seeing her in dream, Tricking my heart, hitting it like a sunbeam, My heart goes blind with the sunbeam so bright, Perhaps my heart is blind enough, He falls in love if he thinks they are "kind" enough, and Tripping over for them while...

The moon leans low to kiss the sea, A silver hush in harmony. Waves rise up in soft reply, Drawn by whispers from the sky.

He sits in silence like a convicted criminal, He says he listens, but never replies. His arms are crossed, his eyes are wandering Along the path that leads his mind. He'd interrupt you when he knows the answer, As though he wanted to save precious time - To stare at the clouds, to talk of the... read more

Our own behavior is the only thing we ever truly can control The true beauty of the human soul Is not what we can horde or amass Its that we can fall in love knowing it will not last If you study the future or the past We never seem to be up to the task Failure and mistakes Are the true... read more

Morning light combs the clean-scrubbed pine— I sweep chaos, coax order like vines. Wax the thresholds where laughter has thinned, polish silence where peace is pinned. Sun in teacups, dust motes aswirl, mend the quilt where the cat made a curl. Porch light left on like a soft, amber... read more

I choose to love firmly, without haste, without demands, without burden. I am a secure presence, not a forced absence. I am not the fear that paralyzes, I am the care that transforms. What is real endures. What is reciprocal flourishes. True love respects time and does not give up out of fear. I... read more

Valley of wonder Oh valley I roam My heart in a valley A place I'd like to call home Valley wide and open Valley humble and free The heart open singing Its soft spoken melody Valley trails I follow And I hope I find my way Back To that place I'd like to Call home; to that place Where my heart...

When I'm rebuilding,piece by piece, When I'm healing, and my heart's at ease. You sho up, with a presence so bold, But I wonder,what's your purpose to hold.? Are you here to help me mend? Or to hurt me more, and watch me descend.? I'm fragile now,my walls are thin, I'm not sure if I can take the... read more

you don’t speak loud but you echo deep. you left my bed but not my sleep. they call me pretty, say "you're divine." i nod. i smile. i lie just fine. they bring me flowers, they wait in line but none of them rewire my mind. you touched me once, i’m still on fire. you loved like war and called it...
