Reaching out from within the tree,The snake slithered closer to me,Yellow with black stripes encircling its body,I felt it gaining on me. But the faster I ran, the bigger it grew.Because, even as a worm,The boy knewThat living inside trees were lives beyond his own,Though never could he have imagined the monsters that could grow.… Continue reading The Snake and the Precipice

The Ebb and Flow
Ebb and flow, Dims the light inside the cage, Comes and goes, Feeding on rage, And I find no solace in your embrace. The matter is put to rest, And our breath moves ahead. The tidal wave, Rushing in fast beckons the fog, Confusion may Leave us disgraced, But the lies add up, And now… Continue reading The Ebb and Flow
Poisoned
These aren't my thoughts anymore.These are delusions in the flesh;Ravings of a lunatic unhinged by bitter and resentful despair.The medicine goes down easy,Administered daily by idle hands.But they're only obeying a contrived mind, which deludes itself in the art of Pretend: "Yes, you are my very best friend." At our highest, this meant till the… Continue reading Poisoned
Centipede, Step Through
Centipede, centipede,Walk through the night.When you find your crevice,You’ll feel all right. Centipede, centipede, Abandon your flight;Step beyond the crevice,And see that there’s light! Outside and yonder, You’ll fear for your life;Just find the right rhythm,And you’ll Become the Night! So crawl, never surrender,Slither through, just don't hide;Forget the venom, never tender,Always Resist. Press on. Defy!
Validation
The moment hung thick in the air,Like morose memories. "How could I have been so stupid?" Waiting turned,And a rotten carcass was all that was left. "And why didn't you come?" In the end, the chair was left empty in the middle of the room;Would I have sat,Dear,I fear we both would have disappeared. So… Continue reading Validation
Forever, Sky
I was lost in flatlands where the buffalo once roamed --The Plains the Cree call Home --And it was then that I watched my spirit soar. Ravenous,A desire to be free moved through me;"Wildflowers,"I thought,"My heart belongs to thee!" So cupped in my hand,I held an ancestral past,Wanting -Nay, Desiring! -This moment eternal would last.… Continue reading Forever, Sky
The Time I Swam With Talking Geese: How I Learned to Seize the Moment
When I woke up from my slumber, I first saw her eyes shining like two pearls in the sky and looking at me with love and warmth. I held her gaze for as long as I could, until the tears that had begun to form in my eyes forced me to blink. When I reopened… Continue reading The Time I Swam With Talking Geese: How I Learned to Seize the Moment
Abyss
Into the abyss I looked, and henceforth I found myself.
Rant: “Disillusioned”
I'd ask what the fu** is wrong with people...but the answer is sadly too obvious.
