I'm a shallow well,Repeating the same verses,Like an old echo. Weep into my depths, O Muse,And fill me with purpose To the very end,We're all just telling stories,So does it matter,That after all of this time,I have but just one to tell?

Apartment 2
All doors return here,To this bitter place I live,Unwilling to change. I'm trapped in these tired cycles, Or is a cage a comfort?
Apartment 1
This cold apartment, With windows facing the east, Drag out lonely nights. The sun rises to glory,But sets well beyond my reach.
This Week in April
I think this day wasvery important to mein a distant past.We grew older together,In a different future.
What Books Need
Some books need coffee,A quiet lounge at midday,Gentle distractions.My mind wanders to and fro,Sweetly consuming slow words. Others need darkness,A calamitous ruin,Rain and thunder on.May the world dissolve away,So long as I can read on. My favorites need you,Bright-eyed passionate reader,To cut out my heart,And exchange our bleeding souls,To reveal the truth in us.
jealous
I can't stand her eyes,When they alight with passion,Thinking about you.It's an ugly thing, you see,The green envy within me.
Too Many Thoughts
For once in your life,Stop thinking and just shut up,Sleep in soft silence.My thoughts whirl about my mind,Cut on shards of lost futures.
Knight Errant
A true Knight Errant, Through adventure and honor,Seeks only a home.Will you, good Queen, offer one,And allow this soldier rest?
mountain youkai
I miss the mountains:Lonely spirits on the lake,Fishing for lost dreams.If they happen to catch mine,Hope they kindly release it.
reincatnation
If I had a choice,I'd like to return a cat,and lounge in the sun.And the lady I live with,Would treat me most handsomely.
