Labyrinth
creep into my closing eyes
Space
The Ease of Falling
“we’re history
there’s no point in anything. Just kiss me”
My Roots
heavy is the flower crown-
the knitted embrace of common ground.
Apocalypse

Finding You (foyle 2020)
Those, too, crossed seas,
crossed continents, just to be
Pandora’s Crime
Pandora will tell describe
how it was hope, alone
which allowed her to survive.
Enveloped
lost to a red abyss
between hesitant words and a half blow kiss-
beheld by candlelight,
Don’t let the grass grow
Build a city. Build a home.
But just don’t let
that grass grow.
Timeless Angels: a short story
His body moved slowly through this strange space of darkness. An eternal ether of himself.
Wet Summer
embraced by nature, then let go
again.

Broccoli makes my braces snap,
Carrot makes my heart collapse.
Change Direction

going round and round

Cover Up
I bow down to the great empress;
Defeated.
The masks that smile
and cover
my flaws
with a different type of
paintbrush.
New Beginnings
basking in the rays of freedom.
relishing in the risk of nothingness
Hazy Days
Inspired by the brief feelings and
fantasies
of alternate realities.
