Poet Introduction
I have been writing for years. Finally ready to share my 15 year journey. Does not have to be pretty but has to be honest!

Window of Clouds
I'm on my way down
The earth unfolds
Towards my empty hole
Here I will rule
I'm no ones fool
I can chew it up
Grind it out
Tear it up or
Lay fire down
I feel a pull
An unfamiliar pain
Towards a glow
A bright, bright light
I can not see
This can not be
Different places
Smiles on faces
Able to be free
Not meant for me
I can no longer look
My strength it took
A voice sings
down from the
Window of clouds ...
The earth unfolds
Towards my empty hole
Here I will rule
I'm no ones fool
I can chew it up
Grind it out
Tear it up or
Lay fire down
I feel a pull
An unfamiliar pain
Towards a glow
A bright, bright light
I can not see
This can not be
Different places
Smiles on faces
Able to be free
Not meant for me
I can no longer look
My strength it took
A voice sings
down from the
Window of clouds ...

Platinum Plate
Lies pour from his face
straight to my face
over and over again
Each time he comes around
Something new to say
to make me stay
and I will
Yes I will
Yes I will
oh yes I will
cause he's a beautiful liar
I wish for no more but
I know the drill
because he will
yes he will

because he's a beautiful liar
I always hesitate
make him promise
over and over again
Not this place again
self doubt sets in

Music & Vinyl
Feeling amplified
when both
red curtains
of my eyes
close to the sound
of harmonic vibrations.
My spiritual DNA
begins to dance
in anticipation for
my third eye to awaken
Ready to record
from an
elevated plane
of audio signal
and in that moment
I'm like
Music & Vinyl
Music awakens
my sleeping
library of
memories, strangers
and places
All manifesting
in forms of
emotion and
ripples of color.
Reels of film
and vignettes ...
when both
red curtains
of my eyes
close to the sound
of harmonic vibrations.
My spiritual DNA

Spanish Cedar Boxes
Living in a
Procrastic Nation
with lots of problems
And I don't really
want to solve them
Got thousands of closets
in my head
Where all my
Spanish Cedar Boxes
go instead
Because I want
do more than survive
I want to strive
for my best
Pandora Life
I'll deal with the
Boxes when I'm dead
Avoidance is my virus
with no cure
Zeus tried twice
so I'm sure
That's okay with me
Don't want to deal
With all of
My tragedies
Pressing on
My arteries
Feels...

Symphony of Waves
I don't know
What went wrong
My heart is
Hemorrhaging
From a fresh memory
She walked in the room
The immediate chemistry
You forgot all about me
So I'm digging deep down
And turning the locks
Because I can't watch
It's not my style
Hasn't been for a while
Instead I'll send you a
Symphony of waves
So you can still
Surf me babe
Glide your fingertips
Across my lips
And kiss the wave
I've been know
To have selfish tendencies
When it comes to my heart
But this time...
What went wrong
My heart is
Hemorrhaging
From a fresh memory
She walked in the room
The immediate chemistry
You forgot all about me
So I'm digging deep down
And turning the locks
Because I can't watch
It's not my style
Hasn't been for a while
Instead I'll send you a
Symphony of waves
So you can still
Surf me babe
Glide your fingertips
Across my lips
And kiss the wave
I've been know
To have selfish tendencies
When it comes to my heart
But this time...

Spiders
Clans of
venomous spiders
nurtured her
from conception
Their black spiny
spindle of legs
wove her skin
of immortal silk
decades ago
Spinnerets
sparkle like
poisonous ornaments
from the wall of
nightshade that
blooms in
her bedroom
Innocence embodied
in a toxic
withered frame
Lean in a
smidge closer
Her web of
white gold
sparkles like
sugared crystals
You know
She needs one
reason to sting
The lingering
scent of red
in her web ...

Makeup City
Lashes dipped
and curled ready
for the town.
Black tar
surround eyes
almond brown
Eyelids sketched
with shimmer
and gold
Electric red
lips have a
permanent glow
The face
This place
Hey, lets head to
Makeup City
Where everything
is pretty
and cold
Foundation
flawless and smooth
Flashing lights
Mascara eyes
Electricity in
my stare
I feel a fever
coming on
Where everything
is pretty
and...
and curled ready
for the town.

Ghost Queen
Permanent residence.
My testament
of abandoned cold
hallways lined with
ground floating dust
that has long melted
into the air like me.
This dark fractured castle
is my beloved shelter
that is fit for a king
but belongs to a
ghost queen.
Windows whisper like a
beacon of ocean tides
calling me to peer
out and gaze to
the haunted sea.
I dare not go
out there.
Many have died in
my honor.
I have held off
armies of ships
multiple times from this ...

Inferno
The anger is welcomed
when I can not feel
One foot in front
of the other
Feel my blood boil
A spark of light
Transforming
my eyes
I am an inferno
blazing my own path
I will not apologize
walking over ash
Your smiles didn't work
The politeness
Overlooked
Take away your comfort
Your lies didn't work
I will burn you down
Be sure to watch
your step when I
am on on fire.
Carless
Brutal
Reckless
You see my inferno
cannot be undone
When you hear my
flames...
when I can not feel
One foot in front
of the other
Feel my blood boil
A spark of light
Transforming
my eyes
I am an inferno
blazing my own path
I will not apologize
walking over ash
Your smiles didn't work
The politeness
Overlooked
Take away your comfort
Your lies didn't work
I will burn you down
Be sure to watch
your step when I
am on on fire.

Godless Goddess
Can't you feel it
in my invincible
invisible air.
Take me in
blow me out
I am everywhere
So let my voice
seduce you into an
expanse of ecstasy.
So take my hand
follow me
to an infinite
cosmic fantasy
Toward a
divine dance floor
odyssey.
So come on baby
Cause I'm a
Godless Goddess
So pleased to meet me
Cause I'm a
Godless Goddess
You should let me
set you free
Cause I'm a
Godless Goddess
So come on baby
Are you brave...
in my invincible
invisible air.
Take me in
blow me out
I am everywhere
So let my voice
seduce you into an
expanse of ecstasy.
So take my hand
follow me
to an infinite
cosmic fantasy
Toward a
divine dance floor
odyssey.
So come on baby
Cause I'm a
Godless Goddess
So pleased to meet me
Cause I'm a
Godless Goddess
You should let me
set you free
Cause I'm a
Godless Goddess
So come on baby
Are you brave...

Ivy
Thought it was impossible
Maybe even debatable
that a mothers love could grow
Since it's inevitable
I wrote this song
'cause I wanted you to know
My love's like ivy
Growing higher
than the tallest tree
My love's like ivy
Imperfect vines sprouting
hundreds of leaves
My heartbeat goes on
even when I'm gone.
My heartbeat goes on
when you play this song
Few years have gone by
my beautiful baby girl
Had to teach you to be strong
in this cold frozen world
My little queen ...
Maybe even debatable
that a mothers love could grow
Since it's inevitable
I wrote this song

White Midnight
Tragically magical
each forward step in an infatuation
of purpose that leads closer and closer
to my altar of collaboration
a constant, dependable hour who
whispers a seductive caress
that lavishes my face
and dress made of lace
my own private silky twilight
so for midnight
I wear white
nothing affects me like the
heavy air of midnight
the vast motivation that inspires
me to create something, anything
to fill the endless void
something beautiful, maybe
something true, absolutely ...
