Snippets: A Realization

A Realization 

The trench of himself, dug deep 
Whose earthen riches unplumbed 
Filled by murky waters 
An island 
isolated 
alone 
He sees 
The world would rather have it 
that way.

Snippets: Life is many things

Life is many things 

The oceans flow 
Not as the tempest 
Of Charybdis engulfing ships 
But as the road 
From life 
to life, 
A cacophony 
That alone you do not make. 

Snippets: The purpose of anger and jealousy

The purpose of anger and jealousy 

Is it worth it? 
On, then off, like a switch? 
Up, then down 
that oscillating wave 
of your heart beat 
emotions beat 
beaten by pain 
bitten 
a gadfly to your dreaming arteries. 
Then stagnant 
like water puddles 
breeding mosquitos 
Stung, sole reminder 
That's the only time I'm loved.
