Clustered redwoods Bury the quaint home The lonely smokestack Upon northwestern shores In precious solitude Where swaying fauna prevail Caressed ever slightly By the fleeting breath of day Crimson brush strokes Glimmer across the hollow sound As the hungry set sail Beneath fluttering rags of white I’d coast away From glorious stature Beyond proud evergreens…

I squander my days tunneling Through the thick of eras gone Driven back From the thinning morrow The crushing refuge Of forgotten days Coils my innards With an overture of bliss This treachery prevails Tightening is savage hold Upon my quivering girth Set aflame with panic and angst I exude memories From my aimless stride…

Boiling lust affairs Tread lightly Through the fog laden dark At the harsh toll Of a night’s eerie close Hastily, they stream away Through the fingers of the watchful The vigilant and true Hobbling home So depleted and worn Night after night Are fogged windowpanes Swallowed by the mists Of euphoria and deceit With elated…

I let melodies erode The contours I’ve always known In broad, beaming harmonies Where I gleefully wither alone Marred by sound Wrecked by the swell of verse I happily decay Consigned, to the depth of their curse Let shorelines abate To be maimed by majestic tone To swayed in its bloom And courted to a…

I stir beneath haunted skin Bubbling with fear and angst Each morn spent prowling In a feverish pace With darting eyes and blended thoughts Daylight crackles And the waters spew forth Surging, past the high wall of dark The mind is pulp As I stagger aimlessly Pleading for the calm Of my deranged And hammering…
