Within shadows, darkness falls from the moon
star glow flames the magical sky above...

My withered hands bare cracks
of smiles gone unnoticed, circles...

I write of peace in darkness
making friends with demons...

I've known for some time now
that writing has given me the strength...

Black paint spatters cover a room
that once glistened from the...

I press my nose to a
window sill, kissing nature...

I wasn't designed
to be a scapegoat...

People whisper; as I continue on,
oblivious to people's real thoughts...

Soft, summer winds leave me isolated
trapped between ebony nights, balmy days...

Hot pink, crumpled silk
adorns silver grey haywire...

I wanna go back, to that ole river that sings,
travel upon that holy highway...

I've placed food upon plates
over a tasteful conversation...
