There’s a little you left in my pocket; It’s that frail chartreuse button that popped off your clearance-rack velveteen pullover a few months hence on a day I remember so clearly. It was that same day when we toasted orange juice and muffins to the humble sunrise over Fox Creek. The stream... - Poetry > Free VerseI left at dusk to make my nightly rounds. First, I cupped the sun in my hands, Suffocating its boasting radiance to a humble glow. I painted over the waning gold marble: Soft dabs along the russet and crimson horizon; A waxy harvest shrouded by clouds of cotton amaranth Nested softly in a corn...
- Poetry > Free VerseSpeak softly, motherless sparrow; Daintily shuffle closer. Tiptoe on your fragile talons And lend me your patient ear. But beware: Your infantile feet might elicit one of nature’s ruses. Beware the deceivers, my friend. Be mindful of those who point you on your way, For they may misguide y...
- Poetry > Free VerseI am from a blossoming tree, deciduous verdure, and blooming buds, like that of the trees that blinked with Christmas LED’s in our December backyard. I am from ebonies and ivories, from Pixar and Matilda, from paisley dresses and denim jumpers, theme park rides and swimming pools. I am from the ...
- Poetry > Free VerseHer heart is an empty page With unspoken words; Unshed tears; Unheard feelings; Unvoiced resentment. Artificial bliss Conveyed through a content façade Is sketched about her persona. Silent screams echo through The barren lines of the notebook. A tear in the paper Represents her transpar...
- Poetry > Free VerseYour eyes seem to borrow the stars, Capturing the twinkle of galaxies. Pristine crystals paralleling extraordinary astronomical brilliance of planets and cosmos alike; That of the blue marble we dwell on; An optic configuration subsuming Saturn’s analogous circuits And Jupiter’s compelling ...
- Poetry > Free VerseWhat is this forest that life has grown into? Barren branches and wilted leaves Crunching and crumbling with the same lackluster weakness that has germinated in humanity. Society has sprouted into a deciduous mob With splinters and knots Wretched and ghastly Thorns and briars alike Manifestin...
- Poetry > Free VerseMy deceitful mouth is not clean But soiled with verbal filth It froths with spiteful words Which I do not regard with pride Yet these irreverent words are words that need to be spoken They’re shrouded with vengeance Masked with envy Mottled with chagrin Yet are spoken with an altruistic sa...
- Poetry > Free VerseBroken heart Shattered in two. Regrets a plenty Attainments: few. Hollow soul. Heart broken With loneliness. Words left unspoken. Sparks of lament Remorse ablaze. Charred wooden heart In smoke-laden haze. Deafening silence Through thoughts unvoiced; Flammable emotions, Regretted...
- Poetry > Free VerseFive months ago recently, out of the blue, I spontaneously fell ill, From November second until this day, My condition has exacerbated downhill. I saw several doctors in that first week of illness, I was asked about my symptoms, examined from head to toe, And thoroughly poked and prodded by ...
- Poetry > Free VerseAll throughout the years, As the hands on the clocks ticked by, You embarked on an a marvelous adventure full of unforgettable opportunities, And there were so many new experiences you tried. It was all uncharted territory at first, Some things intimidating, most unknown, But they all were f...
- Poetry > All PoetryI stand at the threshold of opportunity, And pause before the door, I size up the next four years of my life, And imagine what’s in store. It’ll be a chance to be who I want the world to see, To call my ideas mine, I can paint my personality however I’d like it And let my true colors ...
- Poetry > Free VerseI used to be popularity's anchor; I sank to the ocean floor. I've been splashed with drama Drowned by rumors Drenched with gossip Tossed around by the tides of trends Swept away by peer pressure's rip current; Lost at sea. I was washed ashore by lost hope. Then my mind learned to swim. My ...
- Poetry > Free VerseWaves gently caressed the horizon The slice of sun hung low as it dissolved into sunset Relentless waves tumbled and licked the brim of the coast with a salty tongue A sliver of moon fondly greeted the sparkling ocean Deceased waves tenderly lapped at the barren beach with a soft hush; routinely...
- Poetry > BalladNothing takes the persistently perky buzz from a bee, Or the dazzling twinkle from the stars at night, The bird’s peaceful chirp in the morning And a firefly’s marvelously brilliant light, Nothing takes the glorified accomplishment out of success, Or a tight hug’s consoling embrace, Th...
