The Sounds of Midnight
The lull of a restless night relieves my senses / It's monotone silence maintains my breath / The cold night breeze enters through an open window

Sonnet to The Well
Idly stationed in the bucolic hills, / sits a stone well; unknown when abandoned. / Though her people foregone, water yet fills

Something Borrowed
I'm something borrowed, from he before him, and him before he, / You're something new, untouched, untainted by mine hands or hers, / You're not the old, for I am new, to you too,

Ode to Haters
You look at me and you frown in jealousy. / Yeah, you secretly know I have swag. / Pants a little low, black and red shirt that says

Skin and Backbone
65 years from now when my grandchild looks me and asks me / "Grandma do your cheeks look like they are falling and why does your backbone rise higher than the rest of you?" / I will answer:

A message to send
I can't date you. Not now, not ever. I thought it was because I enjoy what I have right now but over the course of this past week I've come to a conclusion. Its because I can't find feelings for you. They were once there but you scared them away and I don't believe there is any going back to what we used to have. I'm sorry that maybe I got your hopes up or lead you on but you can get over it. Everyone eventually does. I don't doubt you once had feelings for me but I also don't doubt that you're very confused right now. You don't want me. You want someone new, and I'm only used a different way. You haven't broken me in yet, I'm like a new pair of shoes, everything is uncomfortable right now but you're making an effort to wear me in. Then I won't be new anymore, I'll give you blisters and hurt you. Then you'll go back to your old pair because that's what you're comfortable with. I'm sorry. Goodbye.

To Lie or not to Lie - That is the Question
To lie or not to lie - that is the question: / Whether 'tis better to keep the truth / Shutting the light in the dark,
