I woke with a start
it always seems so real
we met in dreams again
you’re a shadow I still feel

I reached through the silence
in hope that you'd appear
but the only thing that answers
is the emptiness here.

We were lonely dreamers
with cameras in hand
capturing moments
only we'd understand

Frames of forever
never developed
dreams only half-formed
hearts never enveloped.

Happy birthday
I hope you're well
& things are better
for a spell

I hope the love
we never knew
will find its home
at last in you.

'Perhaps...'
what a load of crock
either say what you mean
or don't bother to talk

You circle with words
never planting a stake
dodging the truth
like it’s too much to take

A half-hearted murmur
a shrug, then a sigh
‘Perhaps’ is just cowardice
dressed in disguise.

It was a combination
of playfulness in the mix
sarcasm, chaos & calm, but...
I know honesty did the trick

Through the laughter & sighs
my heart slowly picked
moments to hold close
while the clock softly ticked.

Another week passed
humanity gets worse
lost in its hunger
forever a curse

They poison the masses
with carefully spun lies
& the truth is forgotten
while our hope slowly dies.

Like articles of clothing
she shed them one by one
rebuilding solid walls
but far away from done

Patching cracks with care
so they would never fall
with steady hands & will
she prepared to face it all.

This wasn't what she wanted
but she accepted what it was
self defense was the reason
& she truly had just cause.

the lark dissolves
into dawn
my thoughts
follow after
leaving the weight
of my absence
to the shadow
of my light

Whispers full of promises
a chance for something new
yet the echoes of old memories
bind her to a love that she once knew.

Sometimes you
return to me
bittersweet shadows
of what used to be

A fleeting smile
a haunting sigh
a thousand whys
that never die.

Can you stay,
here in my heart,
here in my arms,
settle down deep
in my soul and
find a home there?

Can you trim back
all the thorns that
have grown in places
abandoned by others,
and water the ground
deep with love?

Don’t discriminate
Alleviate the hate
Defy the odds
ignore the Gods

Fecund minds
#Abject indoctrination
No one’s coming
Isn’t it enough?

Played for fools,
Youth as tools.
Truth is clear

Obviate the lies
Keep us divided,
Undecided.

Wake up
Before it’s too late!

If only love could cure
suicidal ideation

"What do you mean
you're depressed?
Aren't you in love?"

Is if to suggest
the two can't exist
concurrently

Love doesn't cure
trauma and suffering

Our cuddles make
survival possible
but not inevitable

We stood in silence
clinging to time
warm, comforting hugs
"it will be fine"

It's what we had hope for
though not what would be
his body surrendered
so his soul could be free.
