Toronto I'm a lover of art, expression and the human condition. Occasionally I put pen to paper too.
The mirror lies to me anxiety Heavy water with no light depression Noise gold distraction notoriety All together not so bad regression I do this to myself now I'm late Like some newborn kittens in a box scared Of the self fulfilling prophecy fate That is my treasure without any map The only true thing we fear is but change The most valuable currency clap Alone in a room with my own thoughts strange Just like wingless flying and hunger smile At every challenge we must all the while

why a poet? because a poet hears the words which sing the purest harmonies because a poet paints their portraits in pastels of phrases because a poet dances their agonies into leaps of faith and pirouettes of passion because a poet sees the beauty in the commonplace and captures the moment in a snapshot of ink and white because a bloodless world cuts itself a thousand times and the poet bleeds

why a poet?
I can smell him on my sheets       I can taste him in my dreams              I can still feel every inch where he's touched me I hear his laughter echoing in the walls              I can still see him in all these pictures I saved for            memories But this bed is bare My dream's a nightmare        I can't hear              His laughter        He's not near              Enough to touch My eyes are blinded by tears He's killed my senses,         I'm no longer aware Everything around me,  slowly fading away His face, his scent, his laughter,  his touch Maybe I'll just pop a few pills and sleep away the day At least he's in my nightmares, the pain of reality is too much

He's Gone... Forever
His name purred on her lips;  She loved the way it Rolled around on her tongue, Loosened her vocal chords  Every time she said  his name aloud, It felt as though she were  Becoming more and more Well versed in him;  His character, His very being
