    Light-born, sunlight, a shower, wakes the dreamer you, your chapter not yet written yearn to close the page, ink-worn, weary, two souls, disconnected, yearn to be known, yearning, cerebral, hastens the dream, my love, exile, calling to you, bittersweet, has sunk itself before between my shoulders, exile, supplanting sleep, blooms, a flower, dreaming, upon my…

    Heart rending, your sorrow, beyond a poets mean to remedy splits itself upon my sacrificial stones, what comfort there is in misery, itself, multiplies your misery, they, the harbingers, bring you only sorrow, my hands, bound by your love, cannot move to turn their curse back upon them, we instead, underserving, bear their curse perhaps,…

    Evanescent, your soul’s repose, laden down with regret, mired as before, in misery Exile, your world, shrunken down, cleaves itself upon a mirror, your imagination, condemned and nailed to a tree, consumes its silence, you, left for dead shed your skin, you, your ideal left hanging upon the hill, stumble free, aphotic, re-imagined

    To my valued readers, This afternoon my father visited me at work. Over coffee, we caught up and, as one tends to do given sufficient time and caffeine, found ourselves discussing those things of great personal value. In todays case, our topic of conversation was this book to be, one of the two great passions…

    Clouds, an ocean in the sky, voluminous, sweep clear the rust-steppes, Pariah, unkempt, the twisted spoon, keeping time, keeps you company, your anger, scathing, keeps your loneliness, your anger, cracking the bell, yields to nothing, the bell, lonesome, doles out Pariah, embittered, your philosophy, unyielding, cost you everything, Pariah, embittered, awaiting something akin to peace,…

    Spinner of shadows, world-worn, your hand, trembling, seeks out my silence, your tears, pooling, overflow, for when hope expends itself upon the alter and tension of the soul yields itself another sliver, better to waltz with the end of days than sink, westward, into sleep, consigned, dreaming, to silence

    Seeds of misfortune sown thoughtlessly, you reap your karma with the harvest, kernels of hope discarded while you sift madness through dust and memory when, at last, you can discern no longer, waking from dreams and your pen breaks itself upon the page, shake the rust from your shoes and enter exile, driven onward through…

    Malice, misshapen, flowers in my garden, malice, gorging, multiplies outcast, catching the wasting sickness, find yourself as you were meant to be, black lunged, a theriacal crescent your gift to the world exile, fecund, behold, the end of days, you, knowing the death of all things seeded itself first in your heart, give thanks
