Petal

Petal

Petals fall
and brush my face
I look up and see
cherry blossoms.

I have a cherry blossom
behind my ear. 
It reminds me 
of my change,
my transformation. 

From a girl
into a woman. 

Petal. 
My nickname
and something
unspoken
that saved my life.

I just heard your reading. Are you British or something?

So, it's a little funny actually. I'm a southern belle through and through but whenever I recite/read something I say it in a kinda British/English accent because it sounds better to my ears rather than me speaking normally. Because even if I do try to speak normal it winds up sounding like what you heard. I also watched a lot of British tv growing up so in everyday life I kinda have one too...unless I get angry and I sound like a southern girl through and through.

Alive

Alive

Yes I still exist
dare I say,
was I missed?

Alas though
I am alive
here...

Mind's Abyss

To dream a dream
of voices long thought dead,
still they scream
and linger in my head...

The End

The End

Please,
hold me in your arms tonight
for my soul is fading,
devoid of light.

Sleep police

Revised

When it's after dinner
And time for sleep

You're the police.

You want to go out...

Stick a Fork in Me

Stick a Fork in Me

That rumbling seismic shift
in the not too far off distance
is coming for us on the 20th...
