I’m an ant in a colony, but I cannot work.  I cannot work because I’m missing two legs on one side. The other ants want to kill me because I am no good to the rest of the colony.  Upon learning of their plot to take my life, I muster up every ounce of strength... Continue Reading →

The Wolf and the Panther

He shows up every third blue moon.Howling gray wolf cries under melancholic moonbeams,calling for my embrace before he gets swallowedback into the void of my hazy lunar dream. Stalking black panther pursues him in the black night,in hopes I don’t soon wake. Make the movebefore my rogue lips steal the moon’s hue. Get ready, my... Continue Reading →

Because my insecurities are only silenced once it sees you, the other player, fold. Because when... Continue Reading →

Happy Little Lies

Time and death are the ultimate truth — more powerful than any emotion we can ever hope to feel. Love envies... Continue Reading →

Snowflakes touch my face like tears.

*Note* This is a poem originally intended for my second book of poetry, We Never Get Snow Down Here. The book itself is a collection of poems that tell a story, so this poem will not make full sense without it.  However important this poem might have been to the puzzle, I could not include...

Mind vs. Heart

My heart writes endless love poems to you, and stores them away in my mind's locker. My mind shakes her head in disdain, and scolds my heart for being in the wrong place. Even more, she shoves my heart into her locker and secures the lock. My heart screams and bangs her fists against the... Continue Reading →
