The Autumn They Share

The autumn leaf never fell for the wind, for it falls every day. Life has hardened it crisp and coarse and easy to crumble, but the wind sweeps it off its base to carry it away as autumn wind cradles the fragile leaf to together tumble, whole, without care, entwined in their fate, kissing the…

31-Day Poem: Day Twenty-Eight

For Those Unworthy, Fate Has Deemed Out of a corner of my eye, catching a glance of an angel whose wings settle into another man’s strong arms, I have to be happy for her, for them both. I have to. I set myself up for this. Why do they all pass me? Why do they…

31-Day Poem: Day Eight

And a Beautiful Wall’s Wrath Maybe the distance is for the best. Maybe it was better for her that I expected nothing in return when paying for her bus ride ‘cause she didn’t have exact change. Maybe it was better for her that I took less than what she offered when she offered my favorite…

That’s why I’m here. I was made for you, to exist as love’s will made flesh. I’ve wanted to die, but survived for you, to be here now for you. To love you as you need to be loved. To desire you as you deserve to be. For too long you’ve been alone, craving not…

The Invisible Way Out And In

Rules are for people who need them, a better fate than to still deceive sins not of flesh but of spiritual longing, a bitter path only a god can conceive. I can assume you someway realize it’s too late for me now. In your coldest depths, you understand it’s too late for me now. Though…

String Cut Dive

Every morning I wake wishing to wake from the nightmare I cannot forsake. A loss for words for words of loss, blurring a line I cannot cross. A troubled mind, a troubled heart, a troubled lack that will not part. Stuck in wrong, wanting right, knowing not what rest is like. Losing ground, no ground…
