POEM - A Casket Without A Key
Beneath the soil where shadows creep, There lies a box in silence deep. Its edges worn, its hinges cold, A story trapped, untold, unsold.

The Last Vote
Ethan Clarke’s hands trembled as he gripped the cold metal railing of his balcony. Below, the streets buzzed with the fading cheers from his election rally. At twenty-eight, he was the youngest provincial assembly member ever elected from his district — a victory that surprised even his closest supporters.

(Un)Fortunate Cookies
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you... ...unless you are a troublesome person. * You are a loyal friend... ...until you matter to no one.

Transcorporeal
Electric rocks hallucinating in vain To further the destruction of the primate brain The veils of reality being burned To turn the world into a paradise of false profits

Missed Connections
1) Starbucks; Newport Beach, CA: Your hair was too blond, your tan too bronze, your teeth too white, and your tits too big. You spoke in infantile squeaks, and ended sentences, both declarative and interrogative alike, with verbal curtsies. You sent your order back thrice. I was the hairy-chested, gin-blossomed Palm Beach prick in the salmon polo shouting at the mousey 16YO cashier over sold-out scones. I'm a moneyed malignant narcissist in the market for a purely transactional relationship. I pronounce “w” words with an “h” preface. I drive my Tesla like I just left a 3-martini lunch, which is often the case. Of course, “TRUMP” bumper stickers adorn it. Stick around, you’re sure to see a COP kick my ass when I try to impose my “master of the universe” delusion upon him as he's cuffing me for DUI.

So many days I wept over you You thought I leapt over you But in reality I didn’t know what to do My heart has been kept by you

Writer’s Block
Is it truly writer's block Or avoidance of writing about the same thing Or just hate towards the muse the mind continue to choose

Hearts Collide
I knew you with merely a glance, Not with words or a fierce romance. Nor your soft touch calling me near-- Just seeing each other so clear.

The ABCs of Me
Alone doesn’t always mean lonely, but sometimes it feels worse. Beneath the smile, there are bruises no one sees. Choosing peace often looks like silence—but it costs me pieces.
