like a ship on a silent sea,
lantern‑eyes searching horizons
no voice will answer.
You glide,
like a wolf through endless forest,
each step a question,
each howl a prayer to the night.
You cut the dark,
like a... [read more] |

"draw us into orbit"
In the villa imagined,
a single flame persists—
not Ormen’s candle repeated,
but a fragile axis
around which shadows turn.
And when Bon Scott fell,
his voice extinguished,
the band carried his gravity... [read more] |

its pull rearranging galaxies.

their endings feeding the marrow of others.

They take what they want and never think twice
Take away your life, and safety
Innocence gone, darkness remains
Nobody will listen, nobody will care
It's your fault this happened
Now deal with the consequences
Some of us forget
Some of us... [read more] |

You keep telling me in my head that
it’s going to be ok

I thought of you tonight
On a windswept high,
As the music I was listening to
Crushed my soul
I’ve never felt so sad…and alone
As I listened, I wrote down these words
A lady working at the Applebees
said “I’m so dead inside” not talking... [read more] |

Sitting on the windowsill
She told me the moon
Will charge them tonight
With goddess prowess
Caressing fingers through
My hair, tickling my skin
As we lay in bed together
More like molestation
I admit with a whisper
I never wished for this... [read more] |
