The Rag Doll
This is a peom I found in an old facebook mail I sent to a friend at the end of 2009. I don't think it has been posted here so I'll do it now. The Rag Doll After a long quest for the friendly touch, I fell at first sight and hoped to feel your … Continue reading The Rag Doll
Meeting the Archangel
Meeting the Archangel Descended thus, did he. The angel with one wing. Who are you? "I am summoned to bring forth a world of suffering." Why? "Of your past, was I, and thus the remedy for hurt. Of your present, am I, and thus embodying all woe. Of your future, will I be, and thus … Continue reading Meeting the Archangel
Spider
Spider A spider creeps up the wall It lingers in a shadow Until dawn. NOTE: This poem was originally a bit longer. I explained how the spider was gone when the light dispersed the shadow. After much rewriting (well, about 20 minutes of rewriting) everything beyond the first stanza felt redundant. Just reading "Until dawn" means the … Continue reading Spider

I can say with the honesty of my soul, she is the most beautiful person I have ever known, seen, thought of, and longed for. She … Continue reading Dawn of Delirium

My Treasured Friend
My treasured friend. When did you become so cold? When did your eyes roll back and ashen? When did your heart skip a beat and slumber? Did you not remember your friends? Yes. You forsake me in times of need. That is why I slumber. You see I was already gone. Forgotten. - F H Hakansson
Dead lover’s scribbles.
Dead Lover's Scribbles 1. Hollow. A bottomless hole of perdition. In my chest. Instead of a heart. "I love you, always and forever. These feelings will never subside. I know this truly. Because you are the one." These were not lies. I know you meant it. When you spoke. People change. What makes them go … Continue reading Dead lover’s scribbles.
