Authored: March 4, 2017 If I fade into obscurity, into yesterday,If today was the final day you heard of meWould you think of me?So many souls inhabit this world,each day a soul vanishes into obscurityMemories fade over time and all that remainsAre gravestones years laterAt one point….At some time, I came into your lifeFor a…

Authored: February 25, 2017 My fingers wandered your fleshIn my room lit and scented by candlesOur shadows made silhouettes on the wallI traced the contours of your bodyThat moment etched in my mindWe listened to each other’s heartbeatsI felt your warm flesh against my face and lips.I watched and felt as you drew and exhaled…

Authored: February 18, 2017 Brainwashed to be more than particles.Frequently aligning with the Sun.If you ask me what the future holds (future holds nothing): another time, another set of particles.Know there’s a tear in the fabric of our souls. We are not what we are told.Don’t say that we are important ‘cause we’re not. We…

Authored: February 3, 2017 They can see that.And here you come alongThis honest nice personThey can’t stand to see anything goodSo, you stand tall and strongTrying to not descend into their depths of craziness.So, they go out of their wayTo try to destroy the light in your eyesand the light in your heartIt’s like a…

Authored: January 30, 2017 Into the hazy horizon I saw you leave meSmoke blackened the horizonI felt your touch on my cheeksI still remembered your fingers trace my jawlineI stayed mute and watched you trudge awayYou were leaving for your own uncertain futureSeparate from mine.I closed my eyes and remembered those lingering touchesLike electricity across…

January 26, 2017 The last man on Earth rowed his boat into the darkened lakeAlone with the bitter acrid wind tearing at his faceAn overcast sky screaming byEvery blink showed the mushroom anvilOf poison and death.He stopped rowing and remembered the now deadHis president had taken the gamble into warAnd it turned nuclear and deadly.Around…

Authored: January 21, 2017 In the darknessIt is I and the darkness togetherI light a match and suddenly I seeI watch the match burnThe flame aliveBurning matter, changing formsI am seeing a form of transcendence take place.With my eyes.I see youI watch you as you appear as if you know what you are doingBut you…

Authored: January 7, 2017 I searched for the answers in the books written by ManAnd I could find no answersI searched for the answers in the wisdom of prophetsAnd I could see no answersI searched for answers in the great churches and mosquesAnd all I could see was confusionI searched for answers by prayingAnd was…

Authored: January 6, 2017 Sliding around the periphery of yesterday,The crescent exposed itself within a plethora of coloursTomorrow perchance shall the sun rise again.Or be cast behind cloudAs the raindrops drip across the surface.Theories of the unexplainable quantifyThere can be no shadows without lightAnd no light without darknessFalling into the sunWhich shun without shunning yonder.Entering…
