Home

under the shelter of my roof
i have whispers of memories
that breathe in my ear
each time i pass through
the hallway
nothing matters
when i sit under the roof
beside the fire
and let the crackling warmth
bring thoughts forword
of fun times we had
as a family surrounding the flames
it brings a feeling
of safety
in each breath i take

abover the selter on the roof
i sat there
watching the blue sky fade
into the darkend blue of night
watching the stars twinkle down
and seeing each passed person
winking down
using the stars as their eyes
the shingles warm us
creating a warmth
that can only be braught
by the memories that come
and remind me of 
fun times i had
watching sun set down
painting the sky
in the colors of home

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
