emily

her short, succinct aphorisms
lacking titles, slant rhymes
"ambitiously classical for a Victorian girl"
reclused and reluctant
white clothing, somewhat a decided penchant
unorthodox
maybe a little deviant
she is my passion
a lifetime solace
my Emily Dickinson.

Caffeine

gloomy sky morning
calls for a wee bit of contemplating
would be nice too for cannabis sativa
but hell, this organic herb is nonpsychotomimetic
breeds hypersomnia,, cause: idiopathic
I guess I'll settle with my cup of sugary caffeine
listen to weezer, survive Friday mundane.:)

Home

"I'm home."

Ironic how I often say these words
Like I have fully grasped its meaning
Is it nothing more than these structure,
Walls, windows, and ceiling?

I have always sought shelter
Built on stability and undividedness
Where love resides
Echoes of chimes and laughter

I have always wandered
Searching for warmth in strangers
Like a moth to a flame
A lost child inside a woman's frame

I have always bargained
Despite the stakes too high
With my torn edges
I'm barely worth a dime.
