Rotting flowers can still smell sweet

After all I see good people pay good money

Just to eat dead meat

I’ve seen people lose whole decades

Staying with people that they ought’nt

All because their too afraid to meet

Someone new

Heck she could be fresh as autumn

After all they’ve seen of living is

Constant states of retreat

for how long or for to where

Hell you know they never know

but I bet you...

Mocha chocolate irises

Flecked with gold the color of

Wonka’s winning ticket

Five winners of

Their own untimely demise

People have fought for these eyes

Like they fought for the same

Golden tickets , unaware

That that they are vying for

That which they already own

Fate, destiny, luck

All words with the same inherent meaning

Differing slightly only with specific belief systems or the way the...

As I heard the cry of the last wolf, I knew it was over. It didn’t seem the least bit fair as it barely had a chance to begin. Then again nothing ever is on this side of the valley. Fair that is. I didn’t have to be there to know that Moon beater had captured my girl. I had only to close my eyes to see his arm wrapped around her neck, his hand unnecessarily clamped over her mouth. She was from th...

My brother Jesse’s in the throne room and he’s down on his knees

In life he never cared for worship

But now he’s whipping all the angels

The sweet and the loud

He always did need a crowd

In fact I’d almost swear

It was an orchestral frenzy

I know, they will all be very tired

Hoarse and sickening

Tried and tread

Treated by me , ya know

Those that haven’t yet been

Tempered or tempted or even

N...

You never read my poetry anyway

Meaningless words put to the page

Still the knot in the pit of my stomach remains

You never check in on me these days

I still tell myself I love you anyway

You went hundreds of miles far away

Could have been a year or just a day

Guess that didn’t satisfy your quota for pain

You had to take my baby with you that whole way

I dial the numbers every day

Be a good...

Well this shouldn’t be that hard a writing assignment she cautiously mused, chewing on her pen cap nervously as her eyes went from the window to the door and back again.

She made it a point to always be ready to BoIt in less than a seconds notice. It was the end of the day and though she didn’t look up she could feel their eyes upon her as she quietly got up the nerve to stand. Closing her ble...

I’ve uncovered something in the histories that may change everything. Before the great cleansing was ordered by the overlords there were a great many species on this planet. This is common knowledge. However, in all my years of research I have never come across a Creature as curious and ambitious as this one. I can’t believe I have only just discovered it. It was called a feline or a cat. This ...

Does it count as an experiment when they put you on drugs because they don’t like that you are different. You are underage you don’t have a say. You ask for blue hair for Christmas You are instead instructed to take speed. The one thing you had going for yourself was cross country. You were in the junior Olympics you were a well oiled machine and then you were passed out on the trail a side ...

Once there was a beautiful girl with hair that curled like seashells the color of beaten gold

For one with so much promise. She never grew to be very old

For beauty and promise attract jealousy

Which have their own kind of power

quite frightening to behold

We find it in this famous story of old

Our Goldilocks has been portrayed as selfish vain and coy

But histo...

Young adults figuring out who they are. Hopefully people who have been through similar situations and had similar experiences. Maybe my pain can help them get through theirs. Obviously gypsies Roma. People who are fascinated by our culture. For some reason I see my audience as predominantly female. Perhaps because my girlhood has been the cause of so many problems....
