Open Book

I'm a book without a cover.
Just raw words, and half-baked thoughts,
Without a title.

Blushing

My face ignites,
I can feel the red creep up.
My emotions may be bold,
But I wish to keep everything untold.

War

Eyes stinging,
Ears ringing,
Children clinging.

A Hermit's Shell

The air fermented and aged
familiar darkness
the futile anger from being caged
light brings no greater starkness

Apartment

'It's as high as Jack's beanstalk'
your apple cheeks protrude
your eyes become crescent moons
and you shine a smile
the could make whole galaxies
revolve around you

The Stone Cold Truth

The world isn't your oyster
not everything is possible
not every dream is at the tip of your fingers
you won't always go down the right path
the world has limits
humans have limits
you have limits
