the fumes stalled within the bones evergreen trees turn brown in dismay the sea parts just to get away and the sky shuts away the sun if only it could kill them and leave me instead, photosynthesis fuels my enemies why is every breath a punctured lung spilling blood on the whimpering ground each blink […]

planes
in defense of the motherland staring down the enemy at large poised to be downed encouraged to be brave metal is scraped in time and tears do eventually dry but the courage to try as bullets rain down and the wind has a face purposeful pushing towards a watery grave rise up and ignite the […]
Looking Forward
rising higher and higher on a path uncharted yet desired giving sight to unlimited worlds and hated for it what is revealed is also mocked hidden figures become immortal legends the light of worlds unseen is relentless and the paths they lead filled with terror and peace both pleasant and pain everything we see is […]
Stop Wishing
a new world is not a planet in a new galaxy within the fingertip of a new universe my new world is one where you stop wishing for tomorrow and lay in the grass beneath the sun’s endless rays far away from civilization and say, “I could live like this forever”

Little Whispers
The little whispers Just beneath the wind Tell me a story of recovery Panting, through the pressure Painting a masterful retort With every missed hour of sleep Till tomorrow shines brighter And still he works to find dreams
