My thoughts,Meandering as they seem,Wander with a purpose.They flick through shadows dark,Fly through forests deep-Gentle in their motions,Settling as if they never were.They dance through day and night,Hunting for a place to rest,A spot to sink in,Wandering far from where they started.Eventually they find their place,Intrusive and novel as it may be,It feels more like … Continue reading More Home Than Reality

Collection of Short Poetry
A collection of short poems.
Butterflies & Centipedes
Falling in love is a scary thing.You never notice until it's too late.Water drips and sends ripples, some feel like storms of thunder and others like waves- lapping at your feet.Your heart begins to beat again- well it always beat, but you forgot it's rhythm.And again you listen to it's gentle tune.Around him it beats … Continue reading Butterflies & Centipedes
Angel’s Tears
The sky fills with clouds a warm gray, the Sun tucks away, blanketed behind His fluffy comforter.And cold droplets fall down like angels' tears, rejoicing for renewed life.Grass blades drown out, soaking up each tear deep within their roots. They grow tall, reaching towards the sky, singing and praying; praising His name.Flower petals drip cold … Continue reading Angel’s Tears
Smiling Faces
We should be nurturers. We're supposed to be a community. We're supposed to listen, to talk with others. To ask, "How was your day?" But when they say, "I'm fine," we're supposed to keep talking.You look into their eyes when they smile or they laugh, through those little window panes. But sometimes- sometimes they're not … Continue reading Smiling Faces
Books Are Easier to Read Than People

But people- they make no logical sense.Their decisions are fueled by hidden motives.Their faces pose as masks, the closest contender to showing their true expression.Mouths … Continue reading Books Are Easier to Read Than People
Light Like Fireflies
1. 2. 3.Lights blink out like fireflies;One by one they float into the night, Their bright fire dwindles out as they find their place among the stars.He takes them home, leaving their light to shine on forevermore.But here,Down below,Their warmth no longer radiates on,It leaves when the light blinks out its last.And we mourn;We mourn … Continue reading Light Like Fireflies
Coping Techniques for When Emotions Suck
Emotions suck, that's a fact of life. Anxiety, sadness, anger, etc. Usefull in a primal sense and a modern sense, but they always come when we don't want them to. We're never actually prepared to deal with them.

The Old Grandfather Clock
At the hour when all seems still in the dusk of night, the sky sits an unwavering sheet of black, blanketing the horizon. And the old grandfather clock chimed midnight. Noise erupted from its bellows, sending forth a shrill sound through the dead night of the old, crickety house. Though none of the residents of … Continue reading The Old Grandfather Clock
Are You Listening?
Are you listening? Not just hearing the single words, the sentences, each-and-every syllable coming out from the person’s mouth. Are you really listening? Listening to the feeling and emotion interlocked with ever crooked glance and smile. Listening to the tears slowly dripping down their cheeks … Continue reading Are You Listening?
