Clarity

Skim the surface
Filter any imperfections
Its clear crystalline perfection
Ever so tempting

Within its depths
Against its rocky bottom
Debris has settled
Bleeding it's toxins

Decay

Decay begins
Quietly creeping
Unnoticed
Behind the walls
They seem so strong
Cracks begin to show
Stains spread out
Marring the perfect surface

Broken

Hear you through the walls
So much screaming and stomping
There are cracks in your facade
See it now through all
Those empty hellos spoken
Passing through the hallway
Hate radiates within you
The love you've broken
Her sobs will haunt you
Though you are without a soul

Slumber

She lies beneath the willow branches
Watching fireflies flash their sacred code
Cicadas hum, her lids begin to close
The rich scent of earth, her last memory
She dreams of fairies, of knights, and dragons
Never wanting to wake to the dull world

My Wagon

Some only see a blue
Plastic shell
Green wheels and
Yellow handle
Worn and tattered, shedding
Faded stickers
He is so much more
We plow through frozen tundra
Unearth ruins in
My backyard, explore
Caverns and search
For buried treasure
My silent companion through
Our adventures

Our Journey

Lie against your skin
All warmth and
Thundering heartbeats
Remember when we
were young, all
Sex and hormones
Grand aspirations
Dreams still fresh
Now the lines creep in
Our path so different
Than we thought
Still we journey together

Untitled

Clues are here
For those who seek
Dreams still fresh
Soon to be forgotten
Close your eyes
I will whisper
the name across
the winds of
Imagination
