heartbreak

They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

Shapes of Self-Love
Think outside the box But stay within their lines Awareness brings a birds-eye view Of the purgatory To which we find ourselves confined

The Media Cirlce
This is a poetic monologue from my one-act play BOYS LIKE US. This poetic monologue centers on the Exonerated Five and Scottsboro Boys being tarnished by the media.

In Red
What lies on the road? Shadow, light, a shape... Is that...? The siren wails... Okay, I have been away for a while, but I like this prompt. It is a good way for me to get back to things. I have been working on a few pieces for challenges and my head has been in a very different space this week. I hope you like my Friday the 13th contribution...!

Setting you free
At some point, it has to be simple, right? We're not simple; We were once worth it, but is that still true tonight? I can't envision a future with you anymore,

Everything
My love, my everything! That’s it; you’re my everything, and everything includes love. You’re my everything, my love. What more could I say? I think that I said the most important thing there is. The rest of the time, I’ll keep writing you rhymes and sexy stories, pained, of course, that everything between us would still remain only words and a few images. Waiting is time flying that we never get back. I don’t know if it’s a good bet with love. Things happen. I can die. It can happen out of the blue or slowly, but that’s not the point. I could survive but you’ll still be occupied. So, this relationship will always be platonic, with words and images that mean, it’s a little more. You’re my everything even covers what I’ve just mentioned. So, you can forget it. I just wanted to show you what everything means. EVERYTHING for me you are and mean. But why?

The Liberation Of Expression
Pull me, drag me through the movements and i'll stay entire in my wrecked pieces. I'll cry yet my tears will be my security since it is everything you will get from me.

Gradiosity
You stare into the mirror of delusion Obsessed with your own self worth And grandiosity Pretentiously thinking the world

"Bitter Tears: A Daughter's Tale of Fatherly Betrayal"
In shadows of our youth, he stood, a father once so bold, But his heart, so cold, betrayed us, left our dreams untold. Three sisters we, in innocence, his love was but a lie,

Salt . Top Story - October 2023.
Salt. The way it hits your baritone mood, your slippery tongue, The way your morose passions were lit up inside like an erupting avalanche of hellfire
