Poetry

"In the night's tender embrace

melodies unfold from the undertow.

Skeletal fingers linger and claw

deep within my gray matter.

Cannibals and werewolves

ravage my body

as I cry tears of utter joy."


"Having testified to the shadow's embrace

I forswear to descend back into darkness

Within the breach of the moonlit night, I am wretched." 

Just because I joke a lot

about the troubles life has brought

doesn’t give you the right

to throw it back in spite.

“You never had a father”

is not a badge of honor.
