You speak as though you know him,
but we all know that you don’t.
I try to tell you about him,
by Ariel Douglas (20 October 2014)
I know exactly what you’re doing,
I see it in your eyes.
For that matter I’ve heard you say it,
you’re running away from God.

Broken Bones
Broken People
Shattered hopes
Shattered dreams
Devastation
Decrepitation
Why must you hurt me?
I've done nothing to you,
all of the pain and suffering,
all because of you,
you treat me like a toy,
that was meant to be destroyed,
every single line,
you would play coy,
(1) One Thousand and One Nights
"Tell us a story." The voices whisper.
It's getting dark out.
There are far too many shadows.
The room echoes of silence.
8 years can fly by like a passing train,
They can be full of happiness and sun,
Or they can be full of depression and rain
Sometimes your thoughts can be overrun,
Before I could detect it, the roe-underdeveloped-grew.
Like a virus implanted within a safe home,
Between swain and Lady lover late at night, it spreads so easily with the joint of intimacy.
It is an it
My eyes translate images into a new language outside the two edges of the globe.
The striped shirt hanging loosely on a rack
In the middle of a crowded Marshall's
Has not the label of male or female.
I miss you,
because without you,
my life feels like,
a punch in the gut,
a curse word yelled in the middle of a public prayer,
falling,
falling hard,
