Cotton Candy Man
300 Cotton thread count
Cinnamon sugar sheets
Dizzy spinning around
Melting me at 300 degrees
Into liquified sugar
With his candy hands
Finding all of my
Four sweet soft spots
I’m smiling dying
Keeping me breathless
Addicting him to
Tonight and dopamine
He’s smiling humming
Completely shameless
Taking small bites
Here and everywhere
Watching ourselves
In our mirrored dresser
Making a licking
Sticky candied mess
He’s taking his sweet time ...

Mother of Bones
There it is
The moon
Up high
Suspended
For what seems like years
Before it goes down
Being swallowed
Like medication
So many moon pills
The same color of skeletons
I’ve held in the
Palm of my hand
Miniature in comparison
Resembling the river stones
Embedded in my freshwater veins
The perfect remedy
To help me sleep
And continue to spin
Towards the next day
Towards the sun
My blazing vitamin
Who I absorb daily
Warming all the
Variety of bones
I’ve been...
The moon
Up high
Suspended
For what seems like years
Before it goes down
Being swallowed
Like medication
So many moon pills
The same color of skeletons
I’ve held in the
Palm of my hand
Miniature in comparison
Resembling the river stones
Embedded in my freshwater veins
The perfect remedy
To help me sleep
And continue to spin
Towards the next day
Towards the sun
My blazing vitamin
Who I absorb daily
Warming all the
Variety of bones

Dream Lights
It’s dark out tonight
The stars are closed
But I’ve got dream lights
Illuminating me
It’s how I was made
Pep in my step
Walking in tune on
Sidewalks or blacktops
To the sound of
My soul’s whistle
Following the instincts
Of my mind’s missile
Navigating myself
Towards the ceiling of my
Brain’s right hemisphere
Moving the bulbs around
Careful not to shatter
My tunnel vision
Filled with dream lights
Never nervous when they
Try to flicker
Because I’ll remember ...

Moths of Pompeii
Volcanic dust
Secrets of yesterday
Melted passengers
In the air of Pompeii
Sweeping antenna beads
Scooping up ashes
Like holy hands
Fleeing sooty pallbearers
Nocturnal wanderlust
Swarming with care
Across Mount Vesuvius
In molten lava-light
Floating Roman embers
Seared patterns of eyes
Blinking in their wings
In sand and grey tones
Powder clinging lives
Survived
On the
Moths of Pompeii
Secrets of yesterday
Melted passengers
In the air of Pompeii
Sweeping antenna beads
Scooping up ashes
Like holy hands
Fleeing sooty pallbearers
Nocturnal wanderlust
Swarming with care
Across Mount Vesuvius
In molten lava-light
Floating Roman embers
Seared patterns of eyes
Blinking in their wings
In sand and grey tones
Powder clinging lives
Survived
On the
Moths of Pompeii

Stiletto Meadow
At nine years old
The water ate my lungs
Turning me ice cold
In the year 1984
With my mother’s heels on
Playing dress up
And hop scotch
Across the pond
Where the scent of
My ghost lives on
Gliding with the swans
I’m dead and gone
Butterfly broken wings
Reflect beside my
Fossilized teeth
Playing hide and seek
Sunflowers larger
Than the vintage sun
Gave rays of shade
To my antique bones
It’s now 2084
I’m dead and gone
But the scent of my
Ghost...
The water ate my lungs
Turning me ice cold
In the year 1984
With my mother’s heels on
Playing dress up
And hop scotch
Across the pond
Where the scent of
My ghost lives on
Gliding with the swans
I’m dead and gone
Butterfly broken wings
Reflect beside my
Fossilized teeth
Playing hide and seek
Sunflowers larger
Than the vintage sun
Gave rays of shade
To my antique bones
It’s now 2084
I’m dead and gone
But the scent of my
Ghost...

Cloudscape
Coy he isn’t
He’s confident inside
His cloudscape
Where black and white
Collide into lightning
Lighting the landscape
Of his poetic mind along
With an occasional cigarette
Answering the call
Of being struck
On his back porch
In only a towel that’s
Still damp from his shower
Where lines of smoke
Are written in sync with
The pulse flashing inside
His electric blue eyes
When he’s focused
In rainwater soaked hair
Embracing the storm
Where grey turns to chrome
...

Rosary made of Rosemary
Save me through cremation
Not with mother earth
Ascend me towards my father
And his cloud of caskets
Lined in silver silk
Where I will be
Dead asleep
With a hidden door
Beneath my scented pillow
From my Rosary
Made of Rosemary
With its
Needle like leaves
That threaded
Into my spirit
From countless
Prayers and songs
Make my ebony hair
Strong and radiant
Help it continue to grow
Braid and weave it like
Enchanted unbreakable rope

Worshiping the Sky
Hundreds of thousands of steps
Up pyramids towards the clouds
Where I'm high on the sun
Free of all my troubles and doubts
Should I take my body
Or leave it behind
A weightless experience
Widow my shadow
Cause I'm tired inside time
Worshiping the Sky
Leave gravity
On earth
To worship you
The big topaz blue
I want to be endless
But not too far from home
I want to be fearless
At peace with what will come
Worshiping the Sky
Take my breath
Submerge it
With you...
Up pyramids towards the clouds
Where I'm high on the sun
Free of all my troubles and doubts
Should I take my body
Or leave it behind
A weightless experience
Widow my shadow
Cause I'm tired inside time
Worshiping the Sky
Leave gravity
On earth
To worship you
The big topaz blue
I want to be endless
But not too far from home
I want to be fearless
At peace with what will come
Worshiping the Sky
Take my breath
Submerge it
With you...

Only for You
I was made
Especially for you
I didn't know it at the time
Being love blind
For so long
Made me forget but
Something made my mind's eye
Bloom like an azalea
Towards you
Being dehydrated
From affection
The stretch was instant
My trellis with plenty
Of wooden stakes
Firmly grounded
For me to lean on
Pulling me up
Showcasing our
Favorite colors
Deep garnet red

Vidalia - Collaboration with Styxian
I Love You
Like roses bleed the color red
Blooming velvet petals of flesh
Gifting bouquets of life
Consummating consonants
as we vocalize the vowels
Words held our hands
until our hands held us
in physical sentences
Like the sky breezes into the blue
Creating fingers of soft air
Tracing your silhouette
Leading to night, candlelight
exposing skin above shadow
Like day once brightened us
now we lay heightened
Like the sun kisses skin...
Like roses bleed the color red
Blooming velvet petals of flesh
Gifting bouquets of life
Consummating consonants
as we vocalize the vowels
Words held our hands
until our hands held us
in physical sentences
Like the sky breezes into the blue
Creating fingers of soft air
Tracing your silhouette
Leading to night, candlelight
exposing skin above shadow
Like day once brightened us
now we lay heightened
Like the sun kisses skin...

Paper Planes
Whispered words
Skybridge lines
Igniting my jet engine eyes
Floating into my mind
Fueled by paper planes
Can't wait to read
In lightning speed
Bypassing the sun
Don't burn me down
Transcend my flight
Erase my turbulent life
Blast me off first class
Towards cloud movie screens
Watching us in weightless fog
Worshiping each other
Fingertips and figure eights
A plethora of skin
Intertwined loops
Skimming eternity
Laying side by side
In laughing afterglow
Drifting...

Wintergreen
I remember at fifteen
Blinking lights
Color of wintergreen
Above a summer night
Underneath a June twilight
On a ride steering
The Ferris Wheel
Slow loud spins
Feeling alive
Elevated to the top
Loving life
Way up high In the sky
Laughing you and I
Eighties painted eyes
Red feathers in my hair
Glancing at you
Trying not to stare
Wondering if
You'll make a move
Or will it be me
Your hand on my knee
We're spinning around
Inventing...
