_At last!_

I snap shut my spiral notebook. I had promised this was the final piece of the horror genre I'd be authoring. Each time I complete a story, the silence in my apartment becomes even more unsettling, and the solitude becomes more troubling.

I went to the kitchen just outside my bedroom door to make popcorn when the sound of the bathroom faucet streaming struck me. I concluded it was a str...

‘So, who’s going to die today?’

“That was the final text message sent from your son at 6:53 this morning to three of his classmates.”

Detective Malone and George Brown sat facing each other in the interrogation room. Mr. Brown was slumped on his knees, staring at the floor, while Detective Malone continued,

Your son opened fire with an assault rifle at around 7:32, and you purchased that rifle t...

The sound of silence washed clean the testimony

Gasps grasped the hanging moon

False truths lies dungeon gloom

How quickly to chase light

After clinging, learning from void

When shall the dragons return

The luminaries of adversity

The pioneers of mercy

who know all the secrets of the palace

The gardens the mirrors the secret passage

The keys to unlock all that’s haphazard

But the sound of si...

Cold and weary

the moon was covered that night and it was hard to see clearly. We headed toward Galileo Street, across from that brick School adorned with vines.

I could not yield the vision of warm ocean mist spritzing our faces while the tide ticked our feet & ankles.

Your white cotton-linen shirt gleamed in the dark just fine, I was lost in a cologne of Tobacco and Pine. My senses now empowe...

Did you storm the weather

Will you blather the blether?

Angels and thieves gathered together

Under parasols and umbrellas

Turquoise skies and lunatic lullabies

A seasons disguise

Hazel eyes

The seas roaring with our goodbyes

Sail off to Jamestown

Sail with me tonight

A town lit bright

Fireflies take flight

Let’s not think twice...

Slowing tides

He shows His distance

‘I have to leave, again.’

Subtly the moon whispers: ‘I’m still here.

Allow me to hold those tears

I’ve been collecting them all in a mason jar

from the lovers the grievers all the beasts of the season.

When your love returns, my Dear then will I set free those tears,

the oceans now full of all’s despair.

New life will form, your roots firm, earlier will co...

She didn't just have stars in her eyes

She had planets in her soul...

Dead roses

Blind minds

Embers of fate

Few find themselves blessed enough to find

If only more could see

How can we love a God so seemingly unjust

How can children learn to trust

You

I tell you the truth you tell me I'm meek

I tell you that's too much

You tell me to trust my gut

I hate you with all my guts

I love you for everything you could be

You take your talent and use it so vicious

I see ...

Egotistically eccentric

at night come the

Heckles from skeletons

nightmares and mixed messages

See this game ain't a joke it'll cost us

fuego fills your heart

And a magnet has you stuck to

A fuckin trick

A chemist

steal ya glow from ya soul label you a menace you know—- the Bella

Then you left alone in the cold

Never really trusted you

I just really lusted you

Faults on me my own enemy I...

Dance slowly with me under the moon

Listen to the beat of my heart

Tell me you don't just see stars in my eyes

You see planets

Lay with me on the beach

Until we question where the sky ends and the ocean meets

Whether those are waves or clouds

Share with me your sins

Share with me your wins

Brush my hair with

Tender care...
