Silence

Silence

There's silence for days
Then we're painfully polite
Unkind words hurt less.

Haiku - weeping cherry blossom tree

near the weeping
cherry blossom tree -
a child's laughter

Dreams

Dreams motivate us
They take life to the next step,
and add direction

You

Amethyste

You

I write and write
It is my lust
It is my fury
But on some days like this
I wonder
Do they mean anything to you?

Ignite

Ignite

Your smile
Lights the brightest
Fireworks.
You ignite explosions
spectacular
in my midnight sky.

Acid Tongue

Kalliope

Acid Tongue

I'll speak your name

until it's not pretty anymore

Until it's so sharp and so distorted

it burns my cheeks like acid.

It's what I'm good at, I'm told.

you must hate me

Jamie

you must hate me

I don't like to admit
how much I fear the people

everyday interactions
send me to spiral

I dissect your words until
they are rotting and fowl
