For Harry
The wind swept up their dreams in the sunset and dress seams. A faulty house stood on its last posts haunted by years of ghosts from the man with an unspeakable name in an attempt to keep fear aflame. They thought they knew better, the two in the house, for there were easier flames to douse […]
Art
Art is a masterfully crafted word. Simply the combination of 3 letters provides vivid imagery and emotion associated with the noun. In art, unlike any other human action, we have both the control, as well as the lack of control, to create art that means something to us, means something to someone else, or none […]
Time
If “time” is linear, home come it moves fast for some people, yet slow for others? How come on the same day that I can literally feel the molasses of time sticking to my fingers, someone else merely feels a breeze through their hair and it’s… gone? They say “time travel” is unrealistic, implausable, unexplainable– […]
Secretly
Outside my window there’s a world that sits back while we uncurl its secrets what it’s keeping. To be honest it’s me it’s keeping captivated, motivated, my head up and I keep on leaping, to keep the beat to beat the heat, simplistically, physically.

Vocal Currency
Words are my currency. They can be traded at various rates, gain value according to either social regulation or general allotment and can be exchanged into other types of currency– languages. Words are, sadly, suffering from a time of inflation. The over saturation of some of English’s finest words, such as exquisite, hate, and love, […]
Spin
It swirls as it moves, an off grace about it, like a dancer on an abandoned stage, waiting for her audience anyway, practicing as she goes, her pale skin hiding her rage. Only on the surface does she boil, covered by foundations. Somehow she stays animateed, her every twirl, every move is calculated. Measured and […]
Time & Space
Those times that go too fast, or when life seems too slow, that is the Prince of Time– watch him go. His life is lonely, his body is nonsense, his castle is nonexistent for time is but a concept. He is the only one who knows nothing but the truth; it’s his reality, his soul, […]
