I leave my words lazily adrift On the evening tides Pushing outward and over The darkening horizon – Light and quiet they sail In tune with the waves, Blissfully ensnared By their phantom chords – Pushing away From the draw of my pulse Rushing back and forth Between peace and peril – I find them…

It’s never enough And I fear this fragile body This façade of glass In these hailstorm days – I fear never knowing Never finding the remedy For the fissures in my mind The inner universe of doubt – I haven’t had my share Of aimless crusades Only treks through the bog Ever deepening in the…

My formerly vacant soul Now joyfully overflows, Weighed down and unworthy Oversweet and soft – A fever runs through my mind And my veins burn hot Crazed, dazed, and half-drunk A wisp away from collapse – Familiar voices bloom In the once vacant spaces I’ve cleared through the years To melt away from time – The once lonely…

Trouble is here In the hazy desert wind In the distrustful stares Of vigilant neighbors – In the heartsick way Many hung their heads When the dust storm lifted Revealing ruination – It is here and now The once distant trouble, As a pain in the chest As cold, frightened sweat – It is here,…

Caving in under the weight Of a wavering vision, A deluded daydream Toppled over by a breeze – We’ve been crushed into the muck By its endless machine Glowing red the world over, On the verge of inferno – Its weathered gears whine Grinding spires to dust, An old and fragile world of oaths Sailing…

A hollow home defies The leering eyes of storms, Frostbitten and scorched Waterlogged and overgrown – The scarred matriarch was carved Out of auburn wood, Before battle lines flamed And kings parceled the earth – The hollowed palace is alive With feral royalty, Given back to the forest Still vain in its ruins –…

Holding on to an aimless cloud By a fraying thread Above the menacing ground, Pocked with tunnels – How much longer Until I fall untethered Into an ancient pain, Chained to a whisper? – How much longer Until I’m flayed apart By honest hands As we sink in the mire? – I’m holding on To…

Running From the chill of silence, As a road snakes forward Though open desert And sidewinds through Eden – Chased Through an empire’s fading spark Where the sidewalks are beaten Into dust behind your stride – Midnight looms large Behind our searching eyes Always hungrily scouring Pouring light into the abyss – For all that…
