Ah here comes the depth Here comes the midnight walks In an empty field filled with ghosts And blood and Screams from so many past lives I’ve been here too many times To care much about the escape I’ve come this time to dance With the shadows -Sasch

Dear Lover
The life you desire doesn’t exist with me It makes me sad I’m not the one for you I’ve no desire to grow into something created for you I’ve stepped away from the crowd I spend nights on the outskirts of town Contemplating the darkness within me I’ve nothing to give but words on wordsContinue reading “Dear Lover”
Matters of Life
Revisit After revisit With him Drifted off into normalcy Scared me And now it’s time to sip some whiskey And try one more time One foot in One foot out And short periods Of having two feet In the same place -Saschia
A Whole Woman
She is a combination of everything she’s always wanted to be. She left limits for roadways and labels for truffles.

Aphrodite is a healthier option TheContinue reading “I am Aphrodite, Farewell”
My Home is Rising
I’m setting my foundation below the surface Beneath the bulbs Mingled with tree roots Over 100 years old I sit alone and pick and pick I ride the drunkin boat And flow in all directions I wrap myself in gauze And slip into the silence I am here I’m alive And my home is risingContinue reading “My Home is Rising”
Creepy Trees
When did this begin Was it when I asked Was it just yesterday What is today again? I’m not sorry I’ve drifted Now I know which way is wrong Let’s try this again -Saschia
