How easilyI become hollowFar from the mountainsI’ve sculpted with care So swiftlyI become derailedA tower of ruinOverrun by despair Exhaustion clingsForcefullyAnd the earth grows silentWithering, unclaimed How I’ve thoughtlesslyDisbandedSuccumbed to a fearI’ve coddled deep within

Home brewed sentiments Are worthless fodder Gourged upon thoughtlessly Like chum, in a starving frenzy Like skin Slowly rolled away I convulse In the offering of self As blood streams I dwell in silence Plagued by worry Overtaken by hunger The raw patches Never reclaim color In the endless butchering In the eternal massacre Until…

Shallow breaths Were all I could muster In the hour she arose Pristine, valient, and sure Anticipation Was a thick humid day The lingering scourge Of red Georgia roads My insides quaked In the shock of first glance Blending my thoughts To a useless, oozing pulp Within adolescence I could not speak As chance drew…

Where the lights Were unable to follow A stillness prevailed From a young, bashful heart In bloom At long last He flourished quietly Through the cold depths of night Bereft Of the rude Shimmering of day He scaled higher and higher With vibrant hues Blossoming, the entire way Life Now lurked from below Coiled in…
