Two LinesTwo lines staring at me,ironically daunting, taunting.One hand on the mirror,one hand on the plastic.Two lines changing my life,alternative ending, depending.One foot on the gas,one foot on the brake.Two lines killing a soul,history repeating, cheating.One eye on the clock,one eye on the counter.Two lines determining...

Ten MilligramsHe bumped into my world,so deep and alone,like pillars made of stone.After he mixed his drink,he said I'd love to see,but you should go...melting like warmwinter snow.My mind works at speeds known to fewand I'm flying higher than I should.He said quit spinning your mindbefore I move on to projectingwords that mi...

Midnight SymphonyThe hollow voice of nighttime sighsas spring winds whisper lullabies.A midnight symphony beginsbefore approaching storms set in.Crickets serenade the night.Shy moonface observes the sightand paints the meadows subdued huesof celestial twilight blues.Constellations cover their eyesas clouds roll in to fill the...

Catch Me If You CanSwaddled like a babyin its first of newborn days.Writhing, twisting, shakingin the corner through the haze.Smoking, coughing, drinking, laughing,tugging at my skirt.Pulling, clinging, yanking, ripping,unbuttoning my shirt.Screaming in my earuntil there's splinters in my head.Pounding of my heartto match the...

Kiss Me GoodnightKiss Me Good NightKiss me good nightbefore I lie downin the earth'sseductive embrace.The dew on my faceis the misty sprinkleof your tearsas I start to fade.Kiss me good nightas I close my eyes,heavy lids fallingone last time.Death presses its lips,in a passionate kiss,tightly to mine,stealing my breath.Kiss m...

I Am AllI feel his open handagainst the small of my back,and it's comfortinglike flowers swaying in the breeze.His mind is like a pool,crystal clear but deep,and I could easily fall in,get lost within the chilly abyss.I hear what he thinks,and he knows what I want.It's on the tips of our tongues,flailing like a ship lost at s...

It Always Feels Like WinterI am alone in my thoughtswhich race incoherently,knocking around in my brain,trying to find a solution.I'm choking on my fears,losing contact with reality.I just want to let go, but if I do,I'm afraid I'll never come back.I need someone to hold on to me.Hold on tight before I rage awayonly to get lo...

Last CallAnxiety bites its nails,nips at the heels of Nervousness,and gnaws its way through the fleshof Desperation and Fear.Shame barks in with Remorseas Guilt sings back up,and Compulsion makes an appearancewith its Obsessive partner.I casually bat my hand at Animosityas it buzzes around my headtrying to evoke the likes ofI...

CocktailsBored with what's on tapbut never heeding the warning,I'll take my mixed emotionsstraight up with a twist of lemon.Shaken or stirred...it really doesn't matter,because the words jumblesoon after the glass empties.Uncomfortable silencesalting the rim with astringencyand sharply digging into mewith a turn of the corksc...
