An arching bridge, ablaze,
frames bending under the weight of steps.
Charred wood slowly crumbles
beneath the hopeful crowd—
each step a promise,
each breath a fragile bond.
Across—
a land,
a place
everyone dreams of being.
Flames grow higher,
frames begin to groan.
Fear reclaims its grip,
clinging tight to rattling chains.
People push, they shove—
some punch, some yell.
One man stamps his foot—
a loud crack.
The crowd gasps.
That man falls between the gap.
Others retreat,
fleeing back across the bridge.
The man feels the weight grow thin.
Amid the chaos
of hastened feet,
he watches the bridge
begin to collapse.
The son, filled with fear,
fears the fire might consume him.
Does he bring more folks,
or save himself?
Unsure—
he flees his father’s side.
The man dangles in midair,
in front of everyone there,
growing weaker
by the minute.
The little boy returns—
confident,
yet uneasy.
He soaks the bridge in gasoline,
throws the match,
and doesn’t look back.
And in the silence after flame,
people came to know—
The bridge was never lost to fire,
but to fear
and excess desire.
Lost to plastic mouths that spoke
too many things that were never true.
Lost to those who truly forgot
the only right thing to do.
It was lost to selfishness,
to hatred,
and all the fighting—
to greed, to fear,
to stubborn pride,
to trickery and slighting.
Lost,
because we forgot
what it means to stick together.
Had they never left the bridge,
they could have saved that man
together.

It slipped
between cracks
light-bound
Unspoken
a weather
not forecast
but felt
The soil rejected it's guest
Yet something ruptured
Through splintered stone
A ghost within petals
its color fading into the void
I learned the shape of absence
by the scratches
in fractured glass
By the dust
In clouded mirrors
Here
stillness takes sides.
silence holds a pulse
With a heart that beats
What softens is not often spared
petals peel inward
altars consume what kneels too long
What speaks too much
I prayed anyway
No name holds this here,
but I know where the garden fell
There—
where liquid gold
Has a ****** tinge
and sufferance grew gracefully
To fully blossom
In the cruelest manner
Where the core fractures
So the ground may hold it's glory

Lovely little liars
Sing your songs to Me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me who to be
Tell me that I'm perfect
And I'm beautiful and sweet
take away this bitterness
That people see in me
Teach me all your secret spells
That armour up the mind
Let me in your world of strength
And see what I can find
Lovely little liars
Show your polished teeth
Teach me how to smile through
This poisoned mask of grief
Teach me how to bottle up
The feelings I can't say
Teach me how to be so bright
I'll never fade to grey
Lovely little liars
Won't you use your words for good?
I bet it'd take your heart of steel
And soften it to wood
Won't you pass the torch to me
I'll set it all alight
The warmth you'll feel
The light you'll see
Will fill you with delight
.....
Lovely little liars
Won't you sing to me
Let me feel the weight of love
In your melodies
Let me feel your soul grow light
And See your eyes begin to glitter
As the life restores behind your face
Renewed,
You'll be a winner

If this was your last
Would you be satisfied
With the words you had to say to me
With whatever's on your mind

I could feel it's eyes
On the back of my head
Preferably forgotten
Shoved aside
Ignored
It feels better this way
But nothing is forever
It dug it's way in
Infecting my mind
As it sat in my chest
And kicked at my heart
As it grabbed hold
of my breathless strands of words
And swung
To and fro
Back and forth
Higher and higher
It latched on tighter
So tight it hurt
my throat swelled
And my mouth opened
A gaping
Twisted
Sagging
Simper
As my watering eyes
flooded my face
In salty
Sorrowful
Sobs

My beautiful gem of unparalleled brilliance
In likeness to the most radiant star
an exquisite gem,
scintillated akin to the crystalline waters
beneath the silvery embrace of the moonlight, shimmering and glittering
as it rested delicately between my fingers.
My pursuit of it had been fervent
and enduring.
Alas,
The boat began to sway firmly to and fro,
while the wind conspired to press me earnestly
against the weathered railing,
enfolding my form in an insistent embrace.
The wind's strength burgeoned,
becoming resolute
and unyielding,
leaving my heart to plummet into despair
as I faltered in my balance,
I lamented with anguished cries
as I beheld my cherished one
plummet overboard,
into the relentless depths
inexorably descending
Under the ravaging waves

The withering rose
A lovely shade
of bloodied violet
Paints a portrait
of my heart
"The rose in
suffering silence"

I want something
I can't have
It's beautiful
And wonderful
But it's driving me
Mad

What joy to see a rainbow
After months of pouring rain
Passion is the product
Of what delivers pain

Don't push too hard
I'll fall
Don't pull too hard
I'll snap
Don't try to corner me
I'll escape
Don't try to chase me
You'll never catch me
Just hold me
embrace me
cherish me
Love me
its the only way
to keep me here
In one piece
