WD 208 “Edge of Dream”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Edge of Dream It’s genetic They say The trials of birth leave a mark on The mind of a child Of ghostly origin tell me nothing Of spirit imbued, leave it in the apocrypha And if I’m too hasty to label myself existent Tell the judgesContinue reading “WD 208 “Edge of Dream””
WD 207 “Stethoscope”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 194 “Reasons to Forget”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Reasons to Forget A snapshot taken without express permission with Hints of autumn weather I saw it deplete you in the worst way Dragging downward toward the recycle bin But I’ve known how to climb back out Ad nauseam Like a dream that can’t stop beingContinue reading “WD 194 “Reasons to Forget””
WD 189 “Overcoming”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Overcoming I wrote my signature on Your ego With the commandment in the bylaws “Thou shalt not change” Because the passage of time is more of a cliff face to me and I don’t See the other side And we kept building new things in thisContinue reading “WD 189 “Overcoming””
