Labyrinthine Fables

February 26, 2014

All paths I’ve composed With this tattered mind Converge and clash Then fade with haste No one knows Of their loyal migrants Of the proud silhouettes That wander their curves No one cares For the struggles won For the triumph and turmoil I’ve carefully spun All paths age Mossed over with time Pried from my…

The Lonely Flicker of Angst

February 25, 2014

An unyielding fog Descends for foolish hearts For the kind warmth Of a lonely flicker Marooned by tender years The haze trails Through labyrinths of distress Weighing down young hopes Beneath a brooding mist of longing Shadowy figures thrive Swallowing droves Of glossy-eyed dreamers Faithful rovers Are woven into romance Doomed to hunger Time after…

Florence Fever Dreams

February 24, 2014

The Florence midday Pierces my hide From the frost-tinted dusk The cold and jealous Afflictions of home A steady bloom Spans throughout me From the silent fringes of my bones Hastily assembled Into a brash and unified thrust Daylight’s zenith blares Blazing through the halls Of my quaint abode Among lonely hills Ever watchful of…

The Mind Tremors

February 23, 2014

All traces of home Have withered in a lonely gust A sudden whirl So harrowing and obscene Laden with grit Peril,heartache,and decay Barbed wire and mangled flesh Weave madly through desolation Through this grief I carve This horror I’ve entrenched The madness I inhabit Faithfully The bells all toll Their tired verse and refrain Depleted…

Pristine Emotion

February 23, 2014

To awaken Untethered, to plights of old As a new haven glimmers From a light spawned afar Upon the meekest soil I’ve christened as home Where the trees beckon: fellowship! And the currents sigh: romance To obtain Treasured affection Unwavering and untroubled To grieve With honest sorrow At the blistering surge of loss If only…

The Hearth of Tranquility

February 21, 2014

Rekindled virtues Are strewn beyond my sight Scaling the height of day With a hearty chorus of redemption The winds harmonize Brisk, tame, and renewing Drawn to the hearth of peace In the high, blaring sun For now I simmer Among untroubled reveries Retaining their flavor Their faultless tranquility No harm can come At this…

Finely Brewed Summer Days

February 21, 2014

Summer days Brewed lovingly Lay far from a tired reach Summer days Seared so masterfully I long for the warmth you preach May fair-weather bloom Coddle my frame And subdue this cold refrain To chase away This jealous gloom So the youth may sprawl again Summer days Of majesty Roll away from the depths of…

Wishful Strides

February 20, 2014

Panic’s foul cry Lashes far and wide Scaling the walls Of ruinous dreams Shrill words burn In flickering bundles Fraying stillness By the weakened seams Far off reveries Gleam all the same Soaked with misery And given to flame Floundering strength Pummels the mind Brimmed with worry From the earthly bind May Infinite screams coil…

The Quiet Passing

February 20, 2014

I cower in the clasp Of shallow and tired yearnings Worn urges That cleave the mind Swift and savagely The hours drain away Before my calloused fingertips Oppressed, by a wayward soul Paralyzed with trivial anguish Selfish wants Hail, blistering cold Skewering all empathy With frozen shards of dismay And so the ages dwindle Bereft…
