hidden in plain sight.
they don't know
that I write
not just here
but anywhere--
ever.
no one does
save one or two
and even then
I've only mentioned it
in passing
no one knows
the extent
that I feel most present
and seen
with pen in hand—
writing
how figuring it out
this— bloodletting
via quill and paper
is the way
is, my way.
from processing
to pulverizing,
this step by step
self taught course
of raw introspection
diagnosis. ...

a kryptonite of flesh.
a thunder of delicacy
as formidable as it is tender
under my ear
almost to neck
but
not quite
close enough
to distinctly hear—
every.
single.
breath.
taken.
which is done
intentionally,
of course
as that spot
is where
all my willpower
goes to die
a
slow
glorious
death.
that spot,
of my most sensitive flesh
wired by nerves
directly connected
to my innermost core ...

the grisly misfortune of the way the world works
I wish I wasn't this ugly
that superficial didn't matter
and it was substance
which was cherished
not hair colour
body shape
or sexual promiscuity
That my ugly
wasn't the first thing seen
and I was listened to
with the same intensity
as anyone pretty
I wish I wasn't so ugly
and immediately ignored
that I didn't think of
the darkness like I do
letting it get to me
realizing the way the world is
versus how I perceive it
that ugly never overcomes
always having less...

We are Earth
all of us
our unique fingerprint
carved into the present
moment of memory
We are earth
from root to crown
our individual history
recorded in each line
Sacred geometry manifests
patterns of existence
into the living
until fossilized
underground
We are Earth
experiencing form
all of us

a return sacrosanct of whispering.
Take my grace
and bend me
to thy will
Surely
you know
It's of yours.

Only through yours.... (+Spoken Word)
you see me
from the depths
of my very deepest
all the grossly hidden
the raw, broken, bloody
that is not want for hiding
you see....
me
as imperfect
and of promises
that are never traded
upon a rainbow
of eye rolling misconstrued
it's the exigency of truth
requited in myrrh scented hope
a will and wit that fluoresce
you see me
with a sweetness in self protection
a scarred kindness
that blooms
in tulips and lilacs
perhaps roses,
when luck ...

This 'dude' no longer abides....
An outright phoney
espousing of honour—
I've decided to no longer
silently sit by
and abide that tragedy
That.
supposed.
oath.
of sham solidarity
once seen
in a harsh spotlight
of reality
it's
"Bitches will be Bitches "
yeah, truth is like that
spotlighting
the spoken
deplorable
showcasing a detailed hypocrisy
in all that throwaway high horse...

the time it takes~
.^
i had a conversation
about my unconditional love
for you
just your name out loud
tightened my throat
and left my hands shaking
with that surreal feel of plush softness
only your ears provided
ק×
finding a half chewed tennis ball
under my couch...
.
.
...then harsh ugly crying
until hiccups turned to understanding.

i considered a shelter visit
practicing what i preach
and all that inherent righteousness ...

to be of magic and moonlight
written to and inspired by the song:
Floating by Julee Cruise

soaring
of thine own mind
weeps
and twirls
exquisitely ethereal
lightest feather'd

two as one
O'
this higher plane
b'twixt heaven
or higher still
consumed
untethered
in their
moonlight dances

coincidence of desires.
because of you...
when the sun
finally rose
delicate hearts
didn't burn
to ash
the night became
of velvet
enshrouding two
in sanguine promise
O' to be felt
realized from within to out
being of each other
known begets known
because of you—
I exhale in harmony
because of chance
and charred black
happenstance
there are words that soar
and this

an endless depth of indulgence.
Warm
moist
breath
on bronzed flesh
of delicacy
such unfathomable
tenderness
when
skin
connects
to
skin
a certain
heat
that emanates
of an
unmistakable
To be... to be....
Ohh,
to
be
so fucking
intoxicated
By this,
our passion
It builds
with each quiver
with each
and every
thought
—hundreds upon hundreds
My lips,
physically ache
in sense memory
my body...

firsts, obsession, falling in love and all the endless lessons learned...
pages worn
some permanently
dog eared disfigured
spine gnarled
and willingly abused
discolored
smudges to lettering
yet still intact
enough
to claim
of truest love
to be cherished
and known as
coveted
above all others
many attempted
but none able
to curry the same favor
on travel
long and short
for obstacles of waiting
years and years together
yet, fondness
remains
still it grows
in it's warmth of familiar
the knowledge ...
