  • Autumn's Evergreen

    Autumn is when you left

    and the feelings inside of me were storm clouds,

    each drop of rain an emotion

    Sadness

    Relief

    Fear

    Autumn is my release

    Feet pounding on leaf scattered trails

  • What is a Poem?

    What is a poem? 

    Well, a poem is a song.

    What song?

    A lullaby, and the lyrics are your dreams.

    A poem is the river rushing, carrying thoughts and words.

    A never ending sky, and the caw of a lonely bird.

  • Who Is Autumn?

    Autumn is a woman with a top hat and golden eyes atop a horse as dark as night.

    Autumn is the auburn hills glowing in the light of the harvest moon.

    Autumn is the pumpkins and the squash and the nostalgia.

  • The Storm Inside

    Before the storm,

    I see the darkness,

    an ominous silhouette on the horizon.

    I feel the wind, making the trees sway from side to side,

    a gusty swoop of exhilaration.
     

Loves

  • The Art of the Unloved Child

    i will meet you on the soiled floor with splintered knees and pointless pinkie promises, bearing the gruesome girth of your loveless little lies / forever fighting to quench my thirst, but your roots will always remain sodden / they say

  • Writing Dreams

    If I could run away, I’d be gone. I’d clamber up the fence onto the roof and take off running. I’d bound up into the air and across the fields of puffy white clouds, bouncy and weightless. 

  • Catharsis

    If not for the moon

    that pulls the ocean tide up,

    revealing raw sand,

    then when would the sea

    be able to thrash waves

    when only at stillness?

    And the surface water sits,

    heavy on its floors

  • Know better

    I should know better

    Because you being gone 

    Will save me

    Even while you remain in my mind

    Sometime soon 

    My heart will forget you

    To make room for a girl

    A girl named Amelia
