Regrets are hard to live with
Regrets are hard to swallow
Wherever you try to run
Then surely they will follow

Feelers in tune with the universe
Synchronicity is what I crave
But when no one knows your frequency
You must wait for them to catch the wave

Dead or alive

Sent a ghost a message
I knew it was futile
The heart does what it wants
Every once in awhile

Passerby

My muse does the random favor
Where my thoughts spill onto paper
Just when I begin to savor
The complexities of nature
Inspiration starts to waiver
And then **** she's gone like vapor

Premonitions

I have the same premonition over and over again
"How many poems were about him?" I respond, "All of them."

Lacuna

Is there a word in any language that means I miss you everyday?
The absence of that word negates anything else I could ever say

Corporeal

Have you ever wondered what you're alive for
Yet your heart still beats, the constant survivor
