Soggy Coffin Throne Quietly considering her own mortality, She feels salty water rise. Should she stay sitting, Half buried by crushed seashells, Rocks and bones and sand, Chilly air will be replaced by The unbreathable reality Of her soggy coffin throne As the ocean’s ticking clock Strikes high tide.

I have been told my whole life that I don’t have style. They were wrong. If their goal was to beat me down until my wardrobe was completely full of things that are boring, or that don’t feel like they are mine, they were successful. I gave up slowly.

Thoughts spinning, screaming, Are … Continue reading Letter of Webs, their unread poem
The old man whispered from the dark, Shadows hiding his intent. He urged the youth to embark. With palsied voice, hear what he said. – “Come you to the water’s edge. Come you to the line of trees. Come you step beyond the hedge. Think you ready now to leave. – “Grown men dream of freedom lost. Women of their wildest days. Boys they wish … Continue reading Cannot Stay, a story poem
A Custom Cage Blood and rouge, Greed and dread. I saw your face, Heard what you said. Sleep calls, singing, ringing. Let me find you in the dark. ~~~ I broke it down, Elements of life, Carbon unfastened, Building blocks of strife. Pace of ocean waves, unyielding. Cuckoo chasing silent lark. ~~~ My electrons Are mixed with yours, On the moon And foreign shores. Blind … Continue reading A Custom Cage, a poem of falling
