"Fly Away"

It's better this way,
Far away;

I don't expect you,
I'm not asking you,
It's too late
To understand;

We both know why
I have to leave
Behind this life
I loved To live;

I have to fly,
Say goodbye,
It's time;

I've a long journey ahead.

"Blackboard Collections"

#1
You live in bitter subterfuge,
A pejorative, screaming goddess
Who's unrequited love aches
Behind cunning ephemeral beauty.

#2
Last night I lapsed into a delicate repose
Where dreams flooded my sleep
Like one thousand whispers
Producing a sweet symphony in you
