Micro-Poem

These poems are brief, but they burn. A single line, a sharp image, a moment that lingers. Micro-poems distil feeling to its purest form. No excess; just essence. The weight of a novel in a breath.

When a whisper says everything.

The Cold Chain

it gleamed silver in the muted air

Tearful Eyes

dulled my mind and left my soul despaired

When Roots Rot

deceit drained our desire to flower

Naïve Boy

I always believed life would be fair

I Exist

to be rescued from this icy place

Veins of Corruption

feet dragged in the filth of apathy

When No One Saw and No One Heard

the soil soaked in my hurried hurt

Beasts of Terror

they rushed across the land

Fierce Hunt

gave me a brief moment of rebirth

Beaten and Broken

wrapped me in snug warm wool

Deep Black Eyes

while my moist lips trembled

Brave Enough

I wish I were brave enough to speak
