Since I dare not voice how I feel,
I’ll write it down, and light it up.
Hoping that once it’s nothing but ash,
I’ll move past it, and it’ll cease to be.
So here goes: Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #36: Ceasing”

Misplaced Missive #22: Trust
Reflexively – the truth follows the trust,
Even though the darker honesty I keep hushed.
Always aware of this unbearable truth;
The one you couldn’t bear to hear,
The one carried on bruised shoulders. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #22: Trust”

Once Upon a Time… Aka a short fairytale commentary
Once upon the beginning of time, there was light. Beautiful, boundless light that shined in every direction, illuminating all that was and all that would ever be, to infinity.

Misplaced Missive #151 – Inspiration
Sometimes, I balance
Heavy weights of opposing choices –
Loving the voice
My misery gives me,
And being happy.
Appreciated tragedy. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #151 – Inspiration”
Misplaced Missive #29: Memories
Thinking back to days that have passed,
I wish I could remember:
The mornings that seemed to last forever
The afternoons when anything was possible
And the nights with more star than dark
The scent of the breeze
The shade from palm trees
The warm ocean waves
Doing as we pleased
The people I met
The way time was spent
The feel of the wind, the sun, the sea
I wish to rewind, relive it one more time.
But will going back shatter the memory?
I wish they could last an eternity,
But they continue to escape me,
Fading away as I grow older,
Turning swiftly into a hint of a story
With details forgotten and faces blurry.

Rondeau – Dragons
Fighting off the dragons that steal my attention;
Beasts of fear and of aggression.
Crying out: What if this is all that’s meant for me?
Telling me: this is all I can ever be.
Less than what’s expected, less than what you’ve mentioned. Continue reading “Rondeau – Dragons”
Misplaced Missive #48: Really
Why do I keep doing this?
Fucking lemming jumping over the cliff,
Over and over, it’s never really over,
I think I’m addicted,
To the twisted
Way I hurt myself for you. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #48: Really”
