Train Under WaterBrother,

I'm writing to tell you I'm dropping out of college; I haven't told anyone. I'm twitching, Michael. The hunger came back a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure it ever left. Regardless, it's crying now, and I need to go. I need to keep moving on. I'm leaving for Chicago tomorrow. My train takes off in the afternoon, and when I get there, I'll leave again. I want to go somewhere new, Michael.

I want to go somewhere I have never seen before.

Now, I know you have to be worried, but don't, Brother. Don't you be afraid. I'll write Train Under Water4 years ago in Short Stories

WaterI lap at your feet, welcoming you into my depths.
Seducing your toes to step closer, wade further
It’s a cool day, and I offer warmth and comfort
Begging you to swim, even though you know

I know

That danger lurks with me

water-colour emotions
you can't buy happiness, but you can buy tea, and thats kind of the same thing. i've been told that i have a knot inside my chest,
like those of the inside of a tree truck, eternally circling and looping. thats kind of how it feels, heavy and unstoppable.
if i have a tree inside me, then maybe that could explain the shaking, its just the westerly winter winds blowing and
making my far too fragile limbs bend but never break. i soak the tea leaves into the roots that are deep within my
fleshy heart and hope the capillaries will carry to wherever the aches are most ingrained and unnatural.

WaterI give life and...
I can take it away again.
A little of me is never enough,
but too much will kill you.
I am a sculptor,
carving new landscapes.
A mover of mountains,
even if only a few pebbles at a time.
I am a rare treasure,
a jewel in the desert,
though taken for granted
many other places.
I flow, I ripple,
I can freeze time.
I fall from the skies,
run from the mountains,
wash upon distant shores.
Complex and simple at turns.
A thing of reality and of myth.
The only thing I fear is man,
and what you do to me.

Water of Life

It had been eighteen years since they'd seen their home world. Eighteen years since the earth had lain before them vibrant and blue. They had come home, and brought with them the water of life, salvation for a world in need. They'd left a desperate band of men with a mission, journeyed the stars as beggars, then thieves, and ultimately destroyers to return home to be heroes.

'Orbital control, this is the Lazarus on return approach, we're inbound heavy looking for our vector, over'

Nothing but silence greeted their request.

Earth was being consumed by a terrible plague when they had left, a plague that destroyed the infected fromWater of Life7 years ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes

WaterLuminous springs of purity
like a song sung by God
calm blossoms of sweetness
the sensation will sweep us.

Our soul will revive,
dance spirit across the rain
drench us in our power,
beneath the sun shower.

Hands cupped to take a sip
as we're swam away by life
we jump into the river
left with but a shiver.

'The water touches her lips,
eyes widened as she sips,
never felt so pure,
the water was her cure.'Water5 years ago in Free Verse

My lone RoseYou stand alone.
Like the reddest of roses on an open and barren plain,
The striking crimson on a bleak and grey backdrop
Catches every eye that glances across the hollow atmosphere.

Cast out from the bed of dozens,
Your thorns cut too deep,
Standing as one,
It was the loneliness you chose to keep.

And you now strike a chord,
In every living being,
Your beauty is dangerous,
But well worth seeing.

So cut as deep as you can,
I need something to remember you by,
A small scar across my heart will be just fine.My lone Rose3 years ago in Concrete Poetry

The Bride of the Water God

Beneath the still, silver waters
The god in eternal silence sleeps
Waiting for the ripple of crystal tears
To shatter the mirror of dreams.

Beyond the reach of endless streams
Lies a treasured, fleeting love
And as the starlight fades to embers
The heavens stir, forever weeping.

Ice rims the verges of his heart
Withholds the blessed rain unfallen
And yet, yet she comes to stay,
This sacrifice for a dying land.

Beneath the moon's argent rays
The night-blooming cereus wakes,
Warms the cold celestial hand
To gently touch her shining face.

Above the lush earth and sea
The unbound heavens whisper softly
Of this cherished mortalThe Bride of the Water God3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms

In LoveIn Love

The way I blush when I think of you,
The way I smile when I remember your words-
The way I almost wanna pass out when someone mentions you-
The way I wanna go to bed early,
Just so I can dream of you-

The way I wanna hold your hand,
The way I write your name on my schoolpapers-
The way I wish I shared every class with you,
The way my heart beats faster,
And the way I feel when I imagine you with me-

I'm just like every other girl,
Who's ever wanted to be held by someone else-
And I'm just like every story,
Hoping for a love-filled ending-

Because I'm human too,
And I somehow still feel-
After all I've been through,

It was me in your arms
My lips on yours
There was only us
And the clouds
And the stars
It was the world and us
It was us against the world
But in your arms I could take it
Anything the world dished out
And with your kisses I was strong again
In my dreams it was me in your arms
My lips on yours

(Heated) Water and I told her;
water won't waste gravity.

she breathed in
scraps of a
wonderful life,
until she melted
down.

(she loved to swim -
sea-burns & headaches;
the way it made
her smile, she
couldn't stop)

her clammy breaths
enraptured
humidity,
as heat felt her
up.

(she wanted to drown -
wayward & dehydrated;
this time it made
her energy
stagnate)

Water for Elephants

It was raining heavily that night.

I squinted, trying to make out just what the shape was. The rain obscured most of my vision, preventing me from seeing clearly through my window. Whatever it was, it was bound to block traffic later, what with standing in the middle of the road. I sighed, putting on some boots and grabbing my red umbrella on the way out of my office, thankful that for once, Feliciano wasn't absent-minded enough to forget returning my umbrella for once-I had ended up having to run all the way home in the pouring rain more often than not thanks to the ditzy owner of the Vargas Circus.

we could walk on water.I will find you on the edges of the river,
right between the creases where the moss
grows thick and the water gurgles hymns
so softly that you have to still your pulse
just so that you might hear it.

[Quiet, darling, quiet; open your heart and listen.]

You will find me in the pocket of the ocean’s
darkest wave, curled against the starfish and
seaweed, painting my moon-sand skin with
every color so that I might be as achingly
beautiful as the coral you dream of.

[Pray, darling, pray; open your hands and believe.]

We will find one another in the deepest part
of the deepest lake, pressing kisses together so
that when we brewe could walk on water.4 years ago in Free Verse

You looked at him surprised. – Closing? – You looked at your watch: it were six p.m. You were shocked: you spent about three hours in the library!
