motionless upon cobblestones projecting dreams beneath the mind’s solitary finger tracing moats and intricate possibilities festooned in bearded ivy dreamscapes adorned as towering secrets my writer’s retreat tucked beneath the arbor of a smile

The words we use bring us together or keep us apart

Create or destroy

Bring darkness or light

Sharp as swords

Hard as bones

In memory forever stored

Words seduce or repulse

Yet from the same tongue spring forth

Let me be a silver and not a viper tongue

Too many words or too few

Can clear things up or confuse

Powerful words

Spoken or written matters not

Corrosive acid or honey sweet

We choose what we spew

e.v.e.

I stand alone, a lifeless island

Unloved and unloving

My charity starts at home

And stays there, I look out for number one

I take care of myself

I think only of myself

My only concern here is of my place in the sun

Should you be hurt or damaged

When I guard what’s mine

It matters not the tiniest to me

For you are unimportant

worthless and unseen

Invisible in my philosophy

The only thing that matters

Is everything I own

And nothing in the world would make me share

I’m soulless and I’m heartless

Incapable of love

But I’m a lifeless island

The trees like torches,

Were ablazed with fire,

The red was slowly spreading,

Roasted flesh,

Could be smelled,

And so could the burnt feelings,

The flames

had covered my body

But still

The blazing heat,

Couldn't be felt,

That was when,

I realized the fact,

I am the stealth of the city

I claim the tallest point and

Vanish from the inside out

Ten thousand lights blanket me

From the sound and pain below

Blinking their stories, speaking

In a language only time can teach

The silence is alive, far beyond the

Pale voicelessness of the daytime

Look down and you’ll see

Your life in your line of sight

A dark purple sky threaded with

Empty promises and white stars

Galaxies dance above nocturnal

"He looked as if he

Was made from tree sap and warm
