All at Once

Stress grow from a cyst pool of anxiety
Inside of me a monster lurking fighting me
My shadow is also around I can’t shake him
Fluorescent darkness represents my fluid mind
Intelligent yet cynical then carefree blissful
All at once
Uncertain whose side I’ll take
All at once
One more heartache, I’m bound to break
All at once
These stomping grounds are scattered with snakes
All at once
It begins to build
All at once
These emotions will not yield
All at once

Brunette in White Clothing

Brown eyes with the depth of earth's soil

Worldly with youthful exuberance

Breathless in an earnest trance

Light reflecting off olive oil skin

Spoken word amiss in a silence of echos

A moment held on to with unwavering eyes

Simple, unplanned, unforgettable

The return of savory feeling apprised

The Runner

Shortness of breath
The hustle of leaves
Move swiftly while the wind blows beneath
Urgency sensed as the pavement patters
Shadow in pursuit of a stranger, the latter
Eyes distant as the teeth chatter
Motion
Movement
Action
Forward progress ahead
Limbs question existence
Persistence
Stampede
Going the distance

Tears

Tears taste bitter as the moonlight shimmers

Flashes of false hope reminisce of November

Past tense spoken in present presenting recollection of disaster

Flirting with pride and kissing the hands of the master

Puppet strings misguided self-esteem

If only my life were as in my dreams

Origami

Origami
Folds bends breaks takes
Life folds knife take
Beauty
Complex
Complexion
Reflection
Deafening deflection
Succumbing to lessons
Life bends we take
We fold we break
Swimming swans sirrcle
Paper planes
Soar
Crash
Hear a roar
Reality a bore
Boars rectangular
Shoulders angular
Frame flat space obtuse
Square footloose
Finger bleeds
Paper died
While at the same time alive

A Silent Heart Beats

Hands loose grip
Loyalty in question
Waters rush the brim of the storm wall
Nervous laugher filled with uncertainty
An uncertain me standing against nothing at all
Enemy is eluding me until I see a reflection
Mirrored stranger unkempt hair, neglection
Arguments and shouts shatter windows of fragile eyes
Fragile lies leave fragments of feelings at her feet
Swimming in a puddle of tears
A silent heart beats

Autumn the Birth Child of October
