CaptiveCaptiveCaptive
Wires entwined in and out of each other,
Bound so tightly with leaves winding in,
Holding down what they wish not to uncover,
No one knows the dark which is held within.
The wooden frame that is now struggling, From the many attempts of burnt out escape, Every now and then pure sunlight smuggling, To the dark shadow of the captive’s shape.
Ropes hold a rough worn out roof in place, Tied messily serving only for one desire, To keep together a cast out and unwanted space, Weaved into the rusting still strong wire.

Under The Stars..…Under The Stars…Under The Stars..
The velvet black of the clear night sky Blanketed over me like a curtain The clouds swayed above me But how they change engaged me for reasons uncertain
The water’s mist sprayed against my skin Warm waves crashed on the shore I let the white caps turn me over And the current took me away more than ever before
The sand beneath my toes was smooth And ran through them like golden silk The essence was captured by tiny grains A dream, most likely, that shined of lust
The magical sensation swirled Its feeli


PhobiaPhobiaPhobia
A mother's worst fear The only thing to make a father tear A phobia No more lies You're supposed to die before your child dies They pray On the last strand of hope They hang on a fraying rope Until the last thread unravels Leaving all nearby scared and baffled A phobia A fear Death It's so near And all the parents rise, With a single, saddened cry: 'You're supposed to die before your child dies' No more giggles No more mud No more late nights No weary hugs You're not supposed to bury t


The Sin The SinThe Sin
Call it a simple slip of the mind "forgetting" what you've been taught Say that it's something you've known all along But somehow you just forgot
Call it a "fib" or a "little white lie" What harm can it possibly do? Say it's not gossip when you repeat what someone's confided in you
Say you've just "borrowed" what isn't yours Or taken what "no one will miss"


unqualified after midnightYou opened the old curtainsunqualified after midnight
with your wood-dry fingertips.
They were heavy
and the cloth yawned morning-breath light
into my face and it took my eyes
about five minutes to adjust.
I was unable to speak.
Three days later, I managed to spit out
an unclear ‘I never stopped loving you’ when really,
I should have unclogged my thirsty throat
and said how much I love those dimples
by your mouth.
I should have confessed how I want to climb inside
and rest there forever,
but we did not have time for that many words. &


UndoneNow that the mirror has broken into a thousand shards of your careless secrets and your constant flow of lies,Undone
you’ve come undone.
And you have nothing, no one to smile and say they understand while you hide behind your nervous laughter and your constant effort to make things seem alright.
You’re never broken, but you make everyone else fall apart and fall away from the very things that keep a family together.
You live only on impressions, where the world is happy so long as smiles and laughter echo through &

If thou art blind
I shall giveth mine eyes
So that thou may lie upon mine shore
And watch thee heavens arise

- Time traveller dies tragically. (1967 - 1608)

while we look into the mirror
we shall burn and die...
we watch ourselves turn to dust...
don't be shocked
face the truth
for the truth shall not face us
but our face will see the truth
...
Life a question, answered by death.
