Moving past it

In my life
I am the closest thing to permanent
and every single thing else
is exactly temporary.

Black licorice,
I don't wish
to be rich.
Money won't buy
happiness
but it'll get ya close.

Storm 2, 6.28.17

the thunder
crashes
& off
eyelashes
tears fall
like the
night rain.

Storm, 6.28.17

tonight the sky
needed to cry;
likewise, so did I.

& like the thunder
loud & bold I,
too, needed all to
know.

Wear me, wear me out.
Oh wait, you already did.
It's these ones, these broken hearts
that give us the answers from within.

In needle and ink

I wear my heart on my pinky finger
I've been making promises to myself
And no one else.

Snakes

Dating is the Devil's game.
If she wants to slither in,
let her.
Soon the apple falls upon the head
of the snake.

Tender times are telling times,
She will get what she deserves.
