I was writing a scary story to post for Halloween, and I completely dropped the ball on finishing it up in time. I’m still working on it, but in the meantime, here’s another of my very rare poems. — It’s quiet in this room As the world lies asleep And I sit here awake But…

Are you afraid of the dark?
There’s a light on down the hallway, Piercing through the dark, Its yellow glow creeps in my doorway, Causing my thoughts to stop. You see, a light would be so comforting, Since I’m home alone, But only if the power had not been out, From the frightful passing storm.
Ungranted
I would never wish upon anyone The feeling of wanting to touch someone so much that it hurts And having that wish go ungranted for weeks on end.
Justice
If I could choose to be alone, If I had the strength to walk down that road, I would still need you like I need you, I would still feel your touch across time zones, I would still have a heart that beats for you, And I would still not have words that did my…
Function
My arm extends and falls atop the pillow upon which her head had lain, My stomach twists and there is an ache in my chest that pills cannot cure. Only one pillow had decorated the bed, and now there are two, The second serves as a constant reminder that she had been there, That I…
Judging
I wish I could get inside your head, See the world from the goggles of your judgement, Part the weave into threads, See what makes you treat others like dirt, Take it all apart and find out why you always feel so hurt. Why do you bicker? Why do you start fights and condemn? With…
Fake
I guess we like to play ourselves for fools every time we say those three damned words, The ones that hurt so much every time my answer comes back in deathly silence, You like to play your little games, And that’s fine, I have games too, But if you want to have a chance at…
Ode
It’s just me, her, and the road underneath, She glides down asphalt like a sword into a sheath, I press down the pedal and zip into fourth, Top end evens out, giving way from torque. “This is crazy,” I think – the speed, the thrill! Like a lion on the hunt, going in for the…
Distance
It has been quite some time since I’ve seen you, I guess that has its ups and downs, But your smile made me question everything, And though I may never know you any better, At least I have known you in the first place, Though, maybe our paths will converge, In which case, I look…
Gratitude
I’ve seen you before, But we haven’t spoken much, You radiate, you shine, The day is made brighter when you walk outside, I want to know you, I want to laugh with you, I want to share time, So let’s slow down, Let’s not let this sign on the highway pass us by.
