She is like a cactus, Unable to reach to her, Without being hurt, Without reaching the pricks that she builds, The walls that are made to push, Push out, But maybe, Maybe, If you retreat, only to come back again, You will be able to reach something else, Reach a core, And maybe, if you [...]

Mixing the paint,
Finding the canvas to fill,
Sprinkling color everywhere,
To dazzle,
To provoke,
But instead stern discipline is forced,
Follow, act,
Slow, steady, slowly,
Perhaps it is just not my way.

Reaching to what I thought would save me, Because I knew it was the only thing that could reverse, The effects of absence, Withdrawal without intention, Yet even as I return to the addiction, I know I need to escape, To be the one to leave my dependency, Or else I’ll be stuck in this [...]

The twinkling of the history, Hinted across the black canvas of night, Promising to fulfill the ends of all hopes and desires, But you are wishing to the past, To the bright lights that no longer shine right, Putting faith into something so gone that you would not notice disappearance, And then you cry and [...]

My life has become lifeless, The light has been shut off, The switch in the wrong direction, Sensing my energy being ebbed away, Without any sight I have lost my might, And in the night, My eyes can’t see, I cannot move, This is a limbo, A standstill, All I can do is wait, For [...]

Can you capture it all? Put it together in a timeless lock? Keep everything I ever valued, Away, away from me, So I never have to face them, So I can be free from them, But I doubt that’s how it works, I doubt I ever will be, Because they will call for me, And [...]

I can’t help but imagine, How free and limitless these creatures are, As they jump hills as if they were clouds to watch, Abundant and moving like a hummingbird, They can never be still, And loyal they are, Never betray, For they remember to say when they can no longer go, So a stop could [...]
