"I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it until it begins to shine."-Emily Dickinson

restless wings.

to and fro
energy flowing
let it go
the night is waning

the stars are young
and fighting the dawn
time for sleep
has come and gone

little bird, wake from your dream
the nest rustles from your siblings sleep
rise up and stretch your wings
the day is just beginning-

and it will be lovely.

-for my little bird.

Fabricated.


Lies and truth, weaving out in a paradox of color. 
A life being fabricated. 
Pieces of apathy and love sewn together
Into a harmonious flowing texture of thought and being.

Cafune.


Giver of the light
take my hand
lead me into
your tender dreamland
cradle my head
let me surrender
whisper sweet nothings
my candid pretender
gaze upon the fire
enkindled in my eyes
feel the feverish desire
wanton rapture in disguise
singular pleading movements
swift carnal motion
gasping heartbeats drowning
in a cognizant ocean
wake me from depths
of catatonic slumber
sing soothing praise
my gentle abductor
entrust me your heart
relinquish all fear
my soul is your home
and my home is you, dear.

isolation.


timeless nights unpacified
restless days unsanctified
erratic thoughts, turmoiling mind
frozen wasteland of frantic time

frosted fingers flailing
quiet courage quailing
crystal shell, empty void
countless moments lie destroyed

self-reflection gazing
clouded eyes appraising
broken glass, shredded skin,
dying starts from within.
