  • Jealousy

    I always thought

    We’d be together

    For so much longer.

    I thought that

    I’d finally found

    Someone who would

    Love me for a while.

    Not just until 

    She got jealous.

    I was fine

  • Autumn Leaves

    I step outside,

    And look around.

    I see the autumn leaves.

    In hues of yellow,

    Red and brown.

    I see the autumn leaves.

    As I watch,

    Barely breathing,

    Autumn leaves 

    Fall from the trees.

  • The Human Mistakes

    The sun sets over the ocean.

    The wind blows through my hair.

    Voices float on the breeze.

    I wonder, sometimes

    What the world

    Could've been like

    If human's had not

    Destroyed it.

    I wonder about

  • Insomnia

    I cannot sleep

    Once again.

    I lie awake

    Wishing I could see 

    The stars.

    Instead I see 

    This room and

    Its hideous orange walls.

    The walls seem to move

    Closing in around me.

  • Challenges

    Sometimes it seems

    Hard to understand

    Why things are

    The way they are.

    But even if

    We don't understand

    All we can do

    Is move forward.

     

    Life has its challenges

  • The Cats

    My mind is fuzzy.

    I can't think straight.

    I hear a clock ticking.

    Is it just in my head?

    Do you hear it too?

    I round a corner.

    The cat waits there.

    It watches me.

    It watches me.

  • la mer et l'amour

    Brazil, the year forgotten. The sun is rising. 

    The ocean longs for her beloved moon but she has already gone down. The sun has taken her place and the water finds no comfort in him.

  • Spoke Up

    I jump in my friend's car.

    It's filled basically to the brim.

     

    The area is small and compact.

    How did she fit this many people in her tiny car?

     

  • okay

    i don't feel good

    i think i'm hungry

    'you feel fine'

    says the almost mute voice in the back of my head

    'this is normal'

    i guess it is

    i don't feel good

    i think i'm fat

  • Tiger Stripes

    When my hair begins to grey, I will rejoice.

    My crow’s feet will race farther than my aging joints could ever take me.

    They will run down my cheek and jaw to meet my laugh lines, 

  • A Letter to Congress

    I will kneel on broken glass as 

    my blood stains the pearly sheen so that 

    you will see I've resorted to my last option: begging 

    before you (as a woman should be) to rip 

  • Beating Wings

    I've heard that hope is a Vicious thing 

    It claws its way up from the soil of Contempt and Despair 

    It brings with it the Memories of a past life and the Longing for a future
