Your love is a spell woven in whispers and fire, wrapping around me like silk and embers. It lingers on my skin, a ghost of your touch that refuses to fade, igniting a slow, unquenchable burn deep within my soul. You are the enchantment I surrender to, the temptation that draws me in with every... (edited) read more

I wrote this for someone the other day, but she never seemed that interested in it...

In the quiet hush of twilight’s gleam, Where shadows dance, like stars unseen, I find your eyes—like Orpheus’ song, A melody where heartbeats belong. Your smile, a gift from Hypnos' dream, A soft cascade, like Lethe’s stream, Washing away the weary past, A promise of love that forever will... read more

Albert Camus

A friend told me about this today. I think it's beautiful and want to share. It's from the novel The Stranger. I've never read it and didn't know that the song Killing an Arab by the Cure is based on the novel. ____________________ My dear In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an... read more

The World Cries Too…💧

It’s pouring out. One of those days where you hear everything. The wind gusts, and the continuous tapping of droplets lulls you into a trance. Those days when you think back to your younger years, when a rainy day meant a cozy day inside—curled up with a book, a playlist, and a window to lean... read more

The Buccaneer (A Fun Little Pirate Poem)

With steel in grip and fire in soul, we stand upon the plank, To duel for honor, for control, in ranks both high and lowly rank. Swords clash and sparks they fly, like stars in darkened skies, Each move a dance with death so nigh, where only the brave survive. A shipmate’s cry from 'neath the... read more

Anchor

Do tears fall up onto your face? Or are they always mine in the first place? In a dream I see you over me eyes locked onto mine as we come together in the only way we know how. Both trying to live in life as it is now. But am I the only one scared of what's to come? Hard to dream other outcomes... read more

Battle in the Dark

Blue fox of peace and acceptance, eyes shut, no tears, no fight. A flame wakes up, burns within causing her pain day and night. She swallows hard her tears, caused by griefs ache and fear, hoping claiming calm will keep them at bay, but the burning, the burning comes out to play. Sometimes it... read more

Fracture

Tears in my eyes as I try to sleep. Remnants of hope that I try to keep. Dreams are just nightmares in the day. When I wake up to find they've gone away. Do you think the same thoughts that I do? Thinking, dreaming of us two? Is it delusion keeping me awake? Or am I delusional for their sake? Am I... read more

🩸

Is this poetic? That I bleed and nothing soothes. Do I write this pain down, dripping fresh drops, and call it art? Breaths quiver; one is always the other's executioner. Thankful for the wounds, searing the flesh of a beauty that once was. Let these veins dry, for I'll dip my pen in the ink of... (edited) read more

HER

You ask why I love her? Why her? She’s not the most beautiful, she’s not the smartest—so why her? I don’t need a reason to love her. I don’t need her to be the most beautiful to love her. I don’t need her to be the smartest person to love her. I don’t need her to be anything special to... read more

Refocus.

I close my eyes and sit real still. “Long day?” she said. …Yeah, obviously. Refocus. I close my eyes and sit real still. “Did you call to make that doctor’s appointment? You keep pushing it off. You have to prioritize your health more,” she said. …Urgh… not yet. I will tomorrow… Refocus. I... read more

People say I’m talented but I always have a hard time believing it. Here’s #Now

O’ son of Adam, closure is meant for books and movies. It’s a concept existing only in fictitious circumstances. O’ daughter of Eve, closure is never truly attainable while dealing with wretched humans. It’s a fools wish, a waste of time. I know, in order to hurt someone so beloved there must be a... read more

The Wizard's Diet

The wizard's fat belly It grumbled and cried "I fed you already." Foul caster-- he lied! He thought he could trick With a flip of his hat But if he could deceive it He wouldn't be fat! So he crawled and he scrawled Too unwilling to eat "If I give up this time, It would mean my defeat!" But he... read more

For What It Is (Part One)

If the season's never over Would you climb up on my shoulder Picking cherries for the batter in the pan Coming winter makes me wonder If the blankets and the covers Will obscure the feel of you in my cold hand Just take your time You're the only one for me In the morning, make your day And soon... read more

Strife

In times of great strife, great uncertainty, it will feel like the universe has its eyes on you, teeth bared and claws out. It’ll feel as though anything that was once good, is tainted now, corrupted and disturbed. The major accomplishments you feel you’ve made are sent to rubble, smoldering piles... read more

Is it the same if when I kneel Those times you told me how I feel You'd invoke the crashing caravans you'd tortured But when I had come along And now your vision's all but gone I'm on my way to paradise A Solo Orchard ~~~~~ Wisdom comes on its own time, as you wildly live your life.

The Fragility of Trust, Mike

If you are true... ...If you are not ruled by pride If this desire is right... ...And our thoughts are enveloped in silence I will open my arms, I will say Hello... ...But know that I am sometimes fragile So don't stick a needle in me.... ...Take what is yours and disappear

Wayward

Stumble around in the glorified gore as its light blinds your eyes from decayed corpses. Lovers who lost their way, poor souls forced to stay. Forever trapped in a... read more

I don’t want to be “figured out.” 🧩✨…

I’m not a puzzle you piece together and then stuff into a box. Boxes… Four walls… Walls go up… And suddenly, I find myself trapped in my own making. A making I believed in because you believed. A concept. I’m not a concept. Depth breaches those walls—walls that were never really walls at... (edited) read more

Happy accident

To have, someone by your side that speaks your language To not, have to spend your lifetime translating yourself What more should one desire When nothing much needs to be said You are understood as you utter a word, even silences are being read
