Summer fades to winter rain
A thousand fires beseech thy soul
But, still no warmth reminds me
Of days in the sun, when times were fair and pains, few and far between
Tears do fall into silent nights and the Moon with empathy to spare
Lights the way for one this night
A man no longer cares
Whispers softly from within, oh man of saddened heart does walk
On lonely paths, this Winters night
A chilled breeze, blows softly through my soul
Darkness mixed with silent teardrops
Can they forgive my sins
Of love to much and not enough
With liquor, a plenty within
I will sit and talk with sister moon
For she, knows where I've been.

I wrote this after a cold winter's night back in 2010, while pondering life's many questions.
Gone
but not really.
I'm still here,
yet slowly losing grip
not intentionally,
but because you're pushing me

I want to hold your hand in silence.
Name ethereal suns that exist in the distance.
I wish I could bleed into your existence.
Quietly stay stowed away in your ethereal presence,
I would gladly marry into your darkness.
While everyone else is looking for your weakness
I will always read you as flawless.
As you try to hide the cracks beneath your armor.
Maybe they dream of vivid garden parties held in green meadows.
But I will gladly revolve around and under your colorful shadow.

delete me
please
delete me
like a little
bit
delete me
complete me
i was on
set me off
oh i've gone
already sawn
off the stack
in the heap
being brave
the legs on
this verb
ad
don't they

only things true
are love and death
and loveless people don't die
they simply disappear

You had that certain glow
When our eyes first met
Like stars that had learned to shine,
And within your adoring gaze
I found all I had sought
Sparkling like depths of gold.
Time slowed down just for us
As if fate had whispered
Because it wanted us to.
But, now I watch from afar
As emptiness clouds my heart,
Knowing that someone else will bathe
In what I once called my light.

Brain matter oozing sideways
Adults are oh so dumb
The masked man is on the loose
You need more than just a gun
Shes running for her life
The woods so very dark
Grandmother’s seen as insane
Michael Myers has left his mark
currently watching Halloween and hiding behind my phone
