vagabond
I sit in your car, upon your grave
If I was to mute the music, I'd hear the birds
I'd hear their wings in the wind
In the distance, light traffic hums in waves
We connect through music, so here I am again,
unhinged
Truthfully, I'm so lost, no one truly understands
I'm alone, I say I'm nothin' like you, but it's a lie
I feel you every damn day, in every damn way
I know you firsthand—
You were quiet like me-
reaching out in vague ways
Hoping someone could see-
'this is just a phase'
I know I'm stuck here ...
If I was to mute the music, I'd hear the birds

poem
When evening
moves into marble
purpose
I align my body
where prehistorical sea
lies waiting
for reflections
And dark holds
my hand firmly
I caress
each flaw
I align my heart
where masked fear
falls in nightmoths
from my eyes
It pains me to see
You
again
one syllable
knows
enough
I align my soul
From my pelvis
I will return
the locks
of your hair
From my womb
I will build ...

depravity in the garden
gentle is the night that stole my innocence
it descended on me in terrifying fashion
raping my purity
stealing my faith
a little girl with stars in her eyes
in a night's time they were snuffed out
my gentle god who wanted to prove
how cruel he could be
to amuse a woman, to get her into bed
time passed...
you revealed your true desires to me
I covered my ears and screamed
I didn't want to hear
I didn't want to see
you countenance is terrible
you removed the markers
let...

Persephone
To rise to Heaven
You must walk through your own hell
but I like it here.

ocean bloom
Aqua blooming ripples of ocean, wisping hair
A strange figure's silhouette glides seamless;
Its darkness has no devotion for a breath of air
—Pious sigh—
earthbound quakes, earthen crusts crack
Causing tsunamis in their wake, destroying paths
Concrete crumbles and in its place, oceanic wrath
There's nothing you can do to detain me
Even earth's vast craters cannot contain me
Open your mouth wide, it keeps me alive
These relentless waves, your fiery grave
...And mine...
An immense nimbus forms in my presence
Meek...

pitch-black
gift me your black hole
envelop and tether me
snuff all lights within
envelop and tether me
snuff all lights within

Hold Me Please For One More Day.
If I gave my heart to you,
Could you make it one from two?
And if I held you near, in pain
Could you shield me from the rain?
I live my life within your heart
Where golden drops of sunshine start
And every day without you near
Reveals a blue, despondent tear
What is black and what is white?
And is it even worth the fight?
Night's another shade of blue
When living with a heart this true
Walking on an emerald pass
Immune to touch from weathered glass
All alone with thoughts of you
With...
Could you make it one from two?
And if I held you near, in pain
Could you shield me from the rain?
I live my life within your heart
Where golden drops of sunshine start
And every day without you near
Reveals a blue, despondent tear
What is black and what is white?
And is it even worth the fight?
Night's another shade of blue
When living with a heart this true
Walking on an emerald pass
Immune to touch from weathered glass
All alone with thoughts of you

Doomed
Our task as poets
is to feel and feel it all
no matter the hell.

The Wolf (Blood Moon)
The full moon bleeds for us
Among scattered stars
Shadows cast in the trees
The dim light just enough
You could see if you were looking
Do you even remember
And the transformation begins
My heart beats stronger
The beast begins to consume my soul
Yellow eyes filled with hunger
Reflecting the red glow
And the cravings inside intensify
Like a virus, invading every cell
The past is broken but forgotten
Only the desire for revenge remains
The flesh, pain on display
Each bone twists and breaks
Skin...

Little Red
the dark red wolf
howl at my door
he desires entry to my realm
in the darkest reaches of space, I dwell
how he ascended
to my place of habitation
I'm unsure...
perhaps I left coded clues
the maggot-riddled meat
I threw him as scraps
didn't distract him from my scent
he was hot on my trail
from the time of my entry
here in the mortal realm
I embarked here on this journey
SF CA, Delancy street, fancy meat
Embarcadero=embarked here
this is hidden knowledge I'm revealing ...
