Hidden Stories
A lament Deeply frustrated Seared with pain Burdened with purpose But tied up in chains I have worlds in my mind Characters wander around Their clanging voices In my dreams sound Their epic stories Clutter my thoughts I see their pain and agonies See the battles they have fought I need to let them out Continue reading

Mood Drop
A lament Why does my mood drop Like a stone in a lake? Like a dead bird from the sky Like a beast bitten by a snake? Why does my mood drop Like a foolish climber off a cliff? Like an elevator gone rogue That is descending too quick? There is a gravitational force Working Continue reading
