A ghost of a word.
It’s not a word.
It’s in...his pressing, passionate kisses,
he never forgets before every
single time we part.
.....In the conversations
with long descriptions of his long days,
even when he’s oh so so tired.
....in the amount of hearts and placements of them he puts in his emoji texts.
....in the attention to what I like.
......in how he works so hard for so little. Just to keep the life he has, the life he thinks is worth it all.
It moves my mountains,
with just a little thing done, to prove it is alive, not a ghost of a word.
It’s not a word. ....So easily and often mistakenly, clumsily fallen from the tongue, to its death.
It’s hardly spoken, but so often proved.
A Few More Things
I’m just a visitor to life -
I’ll pack up my mind
and go elsewhere.
Too many parts of me
have spilled on the ground.
I have scraped and taped
and whitewashed my past,
but it’s all been so fast
and my sins are too vast.
I wish I weren’t
the one to blame,
but all the same -
I wish to cloak myself
in a new name
and start all over again.
I will pry open my mind
like a blossoming flower
and let all the color
seep into my head.
I won’t have to go far
slinging my mind
in my backpack of life
but why can’t I take
just a few more things?

The Ocean Inside Him
the sunset painted the sky
so delicately, it brought warmth
to his restless soul
when it touched the ocean
he ambled along the shore
as the gentle breeze brushed against his skin
he took a deep breath
filled his lungs with salty air
and let it touched all the wounds
others cannot see
he stretched out his arms
toward the water
the waves broke
as he gave in to the whirlwind of emotions
and dragged him out
to the vast ocean
he stared at the lilac sky
with barely stars visible;
stayed afloat
silently thanked the water
for soothing his soul
for reminding him
of the passion he once had
for letting his mind
wanders freely
for all the feelings
he never felt before
he slowly lost sight of the shore
when the water kept pulling him further away
from what once was an illusive haven;
he found himself again
as he closed his eyes
for the very last time
and took the ocean with him.

Here I share my favorite pieces from Atticus..
“Dare to believe,
the whisper in your ears,
that you might be special,
that you might be meaningful,
that one day,
you might change the world.
It’s us, you see,
the ones who listen
who will change the everything.”
“We are all earth’s beasts,
living short rebellions of death,
together defying it.”
“We leave behind our unicorns -
the ones that get away -
but they’re never fully gone,
they will always be there,
roaming
in the grassy fields of our soul.”

Reaper: Farewell.
The hour of midnight...
Bells chime and ring..
Most people are asleep...
Except for one soul.
Ready to find his soulmate...
Not even the Grim..
Or sleep will stop him...
He’ll win this battle.
A fight against Mr. Reaper
Will he be willing
to accept Pierre’s request?
He shall soon find out.
From a flaming opening.
Coming from one of-
The open graves,
Here comes death himself.
With eyes gray, dark-
And full of screaming..
Souls in agonizing pain
Pierre is not afraid..
He walks faces his enemy-
Begs that he releases Astrida.
Near the same red-hot grave
A young woman steps out..
Pierre takes her place,
She cries and screams..
Not knowing if-
Her love’s forever gone.
The Grim gives a wink,
Smiles that he still..
In a way got a new soul-
One that was brave.

Love Unseen
I whisper my love
into curl
of translucent
conch shell,
twirling and whirling
like our love,
ankles embracing
the teal sea.
Conch beached
on powdered sands,
pink and foamy inside,
moist blushed lips,
love unseen but
hidden deep inside.
I listen to the warmth
and unearth
tenderness
of your echoing sea.

Outstretched Screams
They linger here, my demons shady
sailing in storm in yawning mind.
“Come to me,” my mortal demons implore
nibbling on my brain, chewing my psyche.
I smile to hide malignant spirits hovering
thriving darkness commandeering my mind.
Beasts with human faces and coated red skins
dripping with blood, pouring poison on wounds,
smothering me with outstretched screams, as
freezing knife of terror plunges within
while monsters gaily play checkers on my soul.
I suppress these spirits but I can’t release them -
they torment, swimming backstrokes in my skull
I want to flee to the moon to escape their wrath
but they wear dreadful disguise of flaming madness
I cry for relief but no one hears my plaintive cries
Don’t navigate my mind, that’s where demons dwell.

My Love For You Is Utterly Insane, Patrick..
Tranquil dusk
Scent of musk
Fuse into smooth ballad
You sway
Back and forth
One step away
I question my worth
Here comes your nightly bloodlust
You gaze into the distance
In silence
I sense your enticing abstraction
As I slowly reach out a hand
To tear off your mask of sanity
I see no affection
But wonderland
Of inhumanity;
In constant flow of exquisite scarlet
No suffocating feeling of dread
Break it down
Oh, my loathsome psychopath
My handsome psychopath
Will you lead this masochist down
the primrose path?
So kiss me & hold me tight
No absolution
No witness
When chilly night
Scent of iron
Fuse into absolute stillness..
