Heavy silence
The ringing from the piano fades,
as I watch the dance of my trembling fingers
come to a halt.
I thought I wanted to sing
but the melodies are trapped in my throat,
and soulless
Then the notes begin to slide down the page,
no longer able to compete with the
Suffocating silence

Ocean eyes
If you really knew me,
Maybe you'd see,
Through my drowsy blue eyes
Into a raging sea.
Like crows, your sight flies
to the sparkling sheen coating my irises,
The glimmer of a thousand tiny pearls.
But they are a legacy,
Far too romantic for the tidal wave that
Dumped them in my world.

What's the point?
Trapped long enough,

Emotions numbed and reality crushed,
Time swings to th...

Awake when it's shining,
Otherwise asleep.
In the light I seem free,
My body moves. My voice, it speaks.
Speaks like the one it once belonged to,
Before the l...

Beautiful Tree
A willow tree hides
at the edge of the orchard,
Streams of withered leaves
veiling its stooping trunk.
Struggling to survive,
Its roots are sparse and fractured,
And its brittle branches snap -
At the lightest gust.
All will for life,
Seemingly sucked
Into the soil.
But within the crumbling walls of bark,
Its rings of wisdom lie.
Tales of brut...
