I'm a young creative with a passion for poetry and penchant for dark humor. Here you'll find all sorts of writing, the bulk of which are poetry. Of course you'll find other writings here as well. I occasionally write short stories, articles and anime related content. Feel free to look around and by all means comment or leave a like if you enjoy what you've read.

How do I articulate this moment  In this moment: You’ll have left us You’ll have found your self In these seconds, and minutes You’ll find in yourself so rich an experience Any metric would fail to measure it     This is: Where nothing turns into something Where the manifest destiny of the cosmos meets [...]

Shades of Blue

on By

What color are your blues? Are you besieged on all sides by hues all together new Are they the shallow powdery blues that only the sky knows Or deep like the ocean, Aegean and Navy Maybe your blues are hard like stones of slate and cobalt Or maybe just maybe  You’ll be a rich blue [...]

But how could love be so perverse? Twisted and tangled in the heartstrings of so many. For the love of all things just and righteous, [...]

Broken English

on By

Tell me, do you speak the tongue of the broken? The language of the languished, Connotations steeped in the negative, [...]

Music Soul Child

on By

The big band takes the stage. I wade through the taught bodies having been seized by the beat. The maestro fidgets about conducting their ecstasy. But the beat has long since escaped his purview. The drums no longer respond to the tap tap of the heavy set man affixed to the stool Nor do the [...]

Poem 3

Opposites attract-something about magnetic poles You are absolutely celestial- I’m rigid My limbs have longs since turned to stone My ears grown grey with gossamer... Soon I’ll be surrendered to the ages But you’ll  still be here And the whole universe will hear you weep for me Imagine Aphrodite in love with Prometheus Its laughable.
