Still-life. A stilled life. He weeps to form a garden made from her debris. He weeps, and he cannot even leave. He weeps the funeral back into togetherness, to the final time in being the blank witness to a sunshine that distanced itself so well. It was the final time to view the light, even… Continue reading Short Prose – 250 Words – “Height of Her Burial” – Love Story – 6/15/2021

Poem – “Reversing Tears” – Romanticism – 1/30/2021
Track your swum milesBack to the reliving love,Watered by the stormsWe drew our arms through,Together,Keeping smiles on the pagesWe turn,Together, in a hold. We hold historyEver on page one,Finding love in unending tearsBacktracked on the first mileWe ever sought to cross. Oh, love,Keep smilingWith waters to your naked heartLeaning in reverse,Falling upward. BeautyCloses curtains,Nestled thus… Continue reading Poem – “Reversing Tears” – Romanticism – 1/30/2021

Quote – “Unity Between People” – 1/9/2021
"Distrust breeds itself upon those whose grudges bare themselves in remembrance. Memories that do linger, latch themselves as leeches to siphon away any thoughts of a future where hands are held, as steps are walked. Though, between those of shared pain, there is that hurt laying beneath the flames of anger. It is our ocean.… Continue reading Quote – “Unity Between People” – 1/9/2021

SafetyEludes the shores,Of your form in the twist,Of your shades to be kissed,Of your wakefulnessHere to be missed.

Quote – “Corrupted Justice” – 9/9/2020

Quote – “How Hope Begins” – 8/9/2020
"Hope is always the conquest of light over those who never held it. It begins small, soon transfiguring to a giant illumination. For hope is never begun as a plural, as it is begun in a singular. Hope is the one match to begin a forest fire."- Modern Romanticism
“The World goes Beyond the Hopeless” – Poem
The world swings lettersOn jagged rocks,Near an ocean, where wails from whalesAre the same sounds as the crying widow.Love possesses dragon scales,Covering the entrance of intrusion.Beyond the wall that shields a personFrom exploring the outermost,And the wall goes aflameIn the current of disdain.Those lettersSwung on the piece of wood, hung from two ropesOn rocks,Spell out… Continue reading “The World goes Beyond the Hopeless” – Poem
A Quote of Wisdom – “For Art to Grow…” – 3/7/2020

My sweet, kiss my bitter lips.My love, how shall we dine on my guilt?My beauty, with everything sweet to see,My bitterness, is yet exquisite.

Your black hair… Continue reading Poem – “A Face, and a Hollow Form” – Romance
Poem – “Bring me Hope” – Romance
She's not in danger,Not beneath me, the ruler to herNaked empire; of boats upon smooth silk,Of a navy that is swept in maddening windsThat speak in coldness of words.Whispers that threaten and attemptTo subdue that which I desire.They are voices from a different place. She's not in danger,She, the woman whom I seek to gain,As… Continue reading Poem – “Bring me Hope” – Romance
