- Poetry > BalladYellow for the sun shining through the rain Yellow for a smile, a feeling you can’t feign In the mornings, yellow is warm and soft Above reality, it holds you aloft Not asleep, though in dreams Not truly awake, it seems Yellow for a wish on a shooting star Yellow for a kiss to he...
- Poetry > Free VerseThere's no one home, I realize, as I walk up the drive. I find myself alone so often nowadays, I'm getting tired of my own company. I was never alone at my old home, where there were memories to keep me company. Memories in the scratches on the wood flooring in the kitchen, memories in t...

- Poetry > BalladSnow shines like diamonds in the light And glows softly all lonely night Come sunrise, the brilliance fades to grey Until the next blanket of white My footsteps are fleeting, they never stay My words are muffled, no matter what I say Winter has no time to waste and spend With Springt...
- Poetry > BalladDreamer, dreamer, far above Tell me what you're dreaming of? Are they delusions of dark and light Dancing in your head at night Atop your cloud, you sit and see All the world- so trapped, yet free Dreamer, dreamer, in the sky Don't you ever wan to cry? You're free of...
- Poetry > Song LyricsIt made it through the numbing snow And follows me wherever I go So while happiness is fading fast I know this hurt will last It stays with me as I grow Something of me I'll always know The lies might have been a clue Convincing me what's false is true I've grown so sick of ...
- Poetry > BalladCome now, court jester It's time to clean up your act Your bright colours and nonsense No longer serve to distract It's time now to grow up And set aside these silly games You don't want to get burned When they all go up in flames There's no chance you can juggl...
- Poetry > BalladAll tin soldiers in a row They fall, fall like dominoes And soak the earth in liquid life Writing history with a knife Wreaking sorrow, weaving strife Silver tears are shed at home Our hearts, with our soldiers, roam And while they fall to the ground Oh, how our spirits spiral down...
- Poetry > BalladLike a message in a bottle You have to love and let it go For anyone to find it Lose it to the oceans flow It’ll toss and turn among the waves And you’ll wonder where it’s floated But you have to trust the token And always remain devoted The message will grow close to the...
- Poetry > BalladYour dancing smile The sparkle in your eye Lured me in Like a sinister lullaby Your smile said Hello, you must be new For I'd have remembered If, before, I'd met you Your eyes asked softly Would you like to dance I'd love to get to know you If I had the chanc...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionI hear their whispers before i even see them. The silence that so often possesses me leaches out into the drab school hallway. The sounds soften as i approach until only the whispers are left. "Poor Miriam..." "I feel so badly..." "It must be so lonely..." Their...
- Poetry > BalladShe remembers when she was a child Back before she was told That he wasn't coming back And then the world grew cold Back when she believed She was a fallen star Back before her heart Could claim a single scar Back before the hurt Left its crippling mark All the way back ...
