The folly of belief— an ode to fill-in-the-blank love letters
It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew" ~Henry Rollins
I start
with the when
forcing my thoughts
to navigate around it
avoiding
so i feel it less
which leaves me darker
more broken tender
thoughts of
-how it should be easier-
then
amidst - during
after
.
.
to today
known
futility
[despite all the constant wishing]
(Ohhh the wishes)
how they
fill
those
vulnerable
spaces
...

Coffee
Coffee ...
Heavy fragrance ...
Whispers to the nostrils, promising ...
and attracting a glance to the cup
It's desire to penetrate you...
A sip, another ... one more ...
hot sun spreading,
It is touching you on the inside,
As if he awakened you to life ...
And you shine, smiling ...

Balancing the scales of (the) justi(fiable)ce.
Yours, is a new face
Oh so desperately dark
tantalizingly to tremble
temptational taunts
unveiling
delicious
mouth watering
momentum
as wet fingers
circulate
hard thoughts
and all that is
devilishly
savvy
An unknown.
Choice
purposely pursues,
intentional
misdirection;
blissfully
discreet
romping
through
unnoticeable
shadows

A life cycle of doubt
It methodically creeps
like a cunning thief
pilfering
that which is most precious
and dear
Causing shadows
to quietly darken
disintegration of faith—
slowly
crumbles away
as anxiety
becomes
the rule
not the exception
Internal calls of sanctuary,
muffle to unheard
as a hard grasp
vicegrips
twisting
streams of confidence
Lungs burn
sparse air
life, barely trickles
O' the struggle of breath
within such a stagnant
vacuum
Leaving...

A beginning (to the start) of the end
Then it was over,
as quickly as it began—
ends this extended time of growth
lessons of lifetimes
learned in
delicate gravity
fractional time
fast forwarded
into soulful minute freedoms
The now,
being present
volunteering my own pathways
of decisive staunch resolve
starts an evolution
into a chosen existence
every drop of it
I make my own
the earth
the stars
the mythos
of my own story
woven in prideful narrative

Gothic Girl
She lives in a cemetery
Somehow strange and sad
Her souls leaden ice
Keeps monstrous secrets
And will never let go
Dangerous world of sick visions
Darkness flows like water
All paths guard shadows
And there is no escape
From the world of gentle hell
All curses are stamped
Here is love, Evil is a reward
Somehow strange and sad
Her souls leaden ice
Keeps monstrous secrets
And will never let go
Dangerous world of sick visions
Darkness flows like water
All paths guard shadows
And there is no escape
From the world of gentle hell
All curses are stamped
Here is love, Evil is a reward

The Audacity of Writing a Self Poem
Taught to be humble
Always
Here allowed to spread wings
The audacity
Humble is limiting
It's keeps one to thy self
Not everything need be confessional
Sometimes a personal shout out
Older and less embarrassed
No time for timidness
Unafraid of consequences
Defiant and direct caffeine jolt
On the verge of infamy
Or arrested for having the nerve
Not going to be contained
The audacity
Always
Here allowed to spread wings
The audacity
Humble is limiting
It's keeps one to thy self
Not everything need be confessional
Sometimes a personal shout out
Older and less embarrassed
No time for timidness
Unafraid of consequences
Defiant and direct caffeine jolt
On the verge of infamy
Or arrested for having the nerve
Not going to be contained
The audacity

A Mother's love
What could be more beautiful in the world
Smiles of a mother with a child in her arms?
These moments of enchanting love,
They are immortalized in paintings and poems
The tenderness laid down by the wise nature
Feelings of motherly devotion and love warm us
Like the face of the sun in the blue sky,
In its simplicity does not require embellishment.
Oh, how many times you, beautiful mothers,
Gave the inextinguishable light of the magic
Love in the eyes so calm and bottomless
And keeping the sacred secrets of nature!
Smiles of a mother with a child in her arms?
These moments of enchanting love,
They are immortalized in paintings and poems
The tenderness laid down by the wise nature
Feelings of motherly devotion and love warm us
Like the face of the sun in the blue sky,
In its simplicity does not require embellishment.
Oh, how many times you, beautiful mothers,
Gave the inextinguishable light of the magic
Love in the eyes so calm and bottomless
And keeping the sacred secrets of nature!

Divine Song
Have you ever loved - to a crazy wild shiver,
When a flame rages in the soul, when frost runs over the skin,
When all thoughts, all desires around her fall,
And with every word, every letter, poems strive for her!?
Have you ever seen how heart to heart breaks,
When a river of radiant tenderness ... from look to look flows,
When one touch gives rise to a storm of ardent passion,
In which there are so many adventures and so much crazy power!?
Have you ever heard a divine song,
When the bodies of two lovers will forever unite together,
When...

When one touch gives rise to a storm of ardent passion,

How to do Sixty-Two!
In FULL Gratitude
of who you are!
I get asked a lot
for advice, so take it
from an old Crone:
Fearlessly face yourself
running will solve naught
paths are not escape routes
Where you go, you are*

rain.
At arms length
feeling disengaged
Mind unusual with hints of strange
Disappointments tinged of disillusion
Yet another cheap suit of confusion
Cowardice twists to neatly placate
Watch and read
No such thing as predestined fate
scattered-strewn
I watch broken pieces soar
Sailing vastly through
To a found of deary rainy shores
A glutton for punishment
Repeats this damned inner chime
Thoughts, tumble to tear
Through...
