People are afraid of me.
Why are they afraid of me, you might ask? A rare disease? Hideous scars? Vile breath? I reply, with a smile on my face, that it puzzled me at first, too. But now I know. People think worse about me than that. Much worse. But I've learned. And I know that it isn't me. They...
The road was slippery, I know. Probably from all the stuff you puked up on the road from drinking at that party you went to with me. It wasn’t your fault that you were incapable of driving in such a drunken state. I mean, it was completely my fault when you decided to consume a six-pack of Budweis...
You pull on another pair of skinny jeans in the fitting room, looking to see if they are tight enough. Finally you settle on the perfect pair. The denim seems to magically compress all the baby fat you never managed to lose. But as you try to walk, a slight pain shoots up your knee. Could the jeans ...
It flows, yes,
softly and quietly.
A harmless melody,
of this casual drip, drip, drip,
A red puddle in the middle of the floor
like a melted popsicle,
an uneaten delicacy,
as I thought your blood was.
The scent attracts many
Me, as one.
My mouth waters
as I indulge
what I can salvage.

Imagine three, daunting, obscure yet inventive towers standing next to a lone house in a newly restored neighborhood. Shards of blue glass, clock faces, orange paint, and metal bits cover much of the surface on the towers. Anyone walking by will stop and stare, wondering about the incongruity they r...
Sometimes we lose ourselves in the game of life.
A game where you play with your friends, family, and complete strangers.
A game where touch is construed as a misdeed.
A game where love doesn’t always work.
A game where a look can be death.
A game where being yourself isn’t top priority.

A laugh
A pat
A joke
A gentle pinch
A smirk
A twitch
A tease
A hard flinch
A frown
A push
A mean laughter
A more than hard shove
A friend
A companion
A bully...
If you will break someone’s heart,
Never give them medicine before
So they can get the full torture treatment.
Rip her pulsing heart out savagely with your bare hands,.
And remember to squeeze and hold on tight.
Tear the beating core into two pieces,
And destroy both halves as completely as...
I lean back
Because the satisfaction
Of this love
Is too much for me to
Withstand
Because that’s what love is
Infinity and counting
The love makes me want to sit
And relax
But I can’t
Because the smile on my lips is getting bigger
And the laugh in my throat can’t wait
To fill your...
The rain pounds on my head
Drenching me in liquid love
In my nose
Eyes
Ears
Mouth
Filling the hollows with what should be there
I breathe the sterile scent of love
As it leaves me
And the sun comes out
To dry me and my love
And stay with me forever....
The flower blossom spreads the joy
Of life
And spring
And chastity
As its first bud opens
Leading the presence of time
In the world
The colors of foremost beauty
The scent of vindicate strength
Everything and anything is held in the sprout
Of a flower
Everyday
Everywhere
Whether it be ...
They calm
They simmer
They’re 5
They’re ten
They’re love
They’re hate
They’re me
They’re you
They’re everyone
But I’m not sure any more
Why it is everyone, you, me, hate, love, 10, 5, why it simmers, and why it calms
Because I’ve lost
But I’ve won
But I don’t know...
It is glowing with life.
It is radiant with love.
It is shining with passion.
It is serene with sentience.
The beautiful flowers bloom softly.
The green grass grows softly.
The flying birds chirp lightly.
The waiting butterflies glimmer mightily.
The pinstriped bees fly strongly.
The fres...
The man looked out the window of the tour bus as it stopped to refuel. They were in a marshy village, where kids walked around barefoot and dirty, mothers carrying young children, and big, rolling hills covered in healthy, long grass. The man saw assorted clotheslines next to several grass huts and ...
“Mother, I can’t take this challenge,” I said. I bit back the tears that seemed to slip out from under my long, dark lashes. My mother wiped them and shook her head. She sat down on the living room sofa.
“You are the one that can save the world. The government wants to do a very ba...
