Birth of a Hero (Poetry)
What’s the attractionBetween you and ITo only you I’ve swornI look into your eyesLike their jewels in the skyAfter a nuclear reactionA new star is born His destiny is setAnd not his decisionWithout a bit of tryingHis task will be carried outWith accuracy and precisionAfter a major upsetHe’ll go on a rage undying The fiery […]
Dark Blue Heavens (Poetry)

Longing (Poetry)
I remember those eyesSerious, piercing, & trueThat mind so vastThat soul so troubledOnly for a momentI wished to embraceBut, it wasn’t to be It haunts meThat feeling of lackingThis bitter fruitOn which I keep snackingNow I am crackingLonging for whatI could never have ~ Amelia <3 Written February 28, 2007
The Philosopher (Poetry)
This is a revised version of a poem called “The Philosopher” that I wrote around the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election, a bit of satire about the “red vs blue” fanaticism running amok at the time. It wasn’t well-received at the time and in its original form was a bit clunky. Still, I felt it deserved […]

Spells (Poetry)
“Spells” is a poem about the magic and power that words can have over us. Words are like little magic spellsYou cast them by the tongue or the penOr by swipe of a finger or stroke of key Words of anger and hateAre like black magicThey can make thingsWither and dieSpirits crumbleAnd beauty waste away […]
Silence Blares (Poetry)
Outside I felt the crashBut, I can’t hear a soundYour voice echoes in my headBut, my mind has blocked it outInside there’s a bitter painDressed in loathing and self-doubt My senses fail me nowCause I can’t hear a soundFeel the rumbling of marching feetBut, there’s no one else aroundCaught the scent of sweet perfumeBut, the […]
