Two months to know that I love him, or that I will love him, and it shall be the death of me. This, I know now, is a wonderful thing. It has taken two months and I remember not any plight of angst or insanity that plagued me from years past. That of my childhoodContinue reading “letter to a friend over seas”

Dear God, what am I to do with this longing? I want it to be him, I want him to capture me and never release me back to the listless realm I walk. I want him to take me in and care for me, to watch over me and check in with me as ifContinue reading “Plea of the Silent Sobber”

In the nights long stretching did woe creep in, did my aching mind ponder of a better intent in this life, one of righteous pursuit and trial at the torments of a moment.

The tree is coming down tonight All ornaments off Even the cranberries But it is the lights that linger I can’t help it What will go there Or brighten the room What will fill the void in the window Between the records and the chair Can I bear it stay empty Sit in the discomfortContinue reading “Felling”

it is a dish that is never clean washed quickly for each morning use a poufy deep brown mesh like a cloak earlier, during my morning prayer, a faint blue held out above the yard I suspect it gone now, souped up into the low clouds slower when it is melancholic, I swear I hearContinue reading “24”
