Black ink, Swirls and interweaves Over stolen breath, Sheens of sweat and chest pains – “I have since moved on” Falls from a half-smile For the lonely to decode Until they’re mute and exhausted – “It meant nothing at all” Lets loose lightning storms Lifting up the burning bile I’ve barred from my mind –…

I crave the long haul, Across their forbidden ground The frostbitten voyage, Through their bleakest of winters – The truest road To that safe place of falling Is engraved in the caverns Of my mist-shrouded skull – It’s a deadly haul Over swathes of ice An ill-fate I’ve chosen Snow blind and chattering – But…

I seek patterns in the fire-tinged sky As the night pools outward And the rusted day lies Upturned and empty – A few stars burn a path To a new name and refuge, Falling over razor wire On an exile’s journey – A few worlds answer back To stoke the inner furnace With the wild…

What I have left within Is oil, spilling through a breach Setting currents ablaze – My voice it billows As an envious cloud Cutting short the breath Of a young spring day – I dredge away flora And root and soil With heavy footfalls Kicking up sand storms – While the lights in the eyes…

These evil and ireful times Won’t conquer us all Some will crawl from it unharmed Without the shame of shackles – This cruelhearted epoch Won’t sicken us all Some will thrive in their illusions Turned away from ruin – Beneath the tired eyes of midnight Old villainy will unfold, As the shrill and violent echo…

The dance is over The doors have sprung open And now the young pour through Flooding the veins of their city – The dance is over Dreamland’s colors run Washed out in the gathering Invincible hush – The dance is over And there is nothing left But a vacant memory For time to mold and…

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…
