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!

Glass Cup Lips
Press with fragile pressure
For your ravishing pleasure
Hydrate and rejuvenate
Don’t crack or chip
Just slide and slip
On my Glass Cup Lips
Nourish your dehydrated soul
Let your spirit unwind and unfold
Sip towards breathless heaven
Cradle my face with both hands
Sink into my grooves to expand
Beyond dry limited dreams
Drink from my wishing well
Bottomless crystal kisses
From my Glass Cup Lips
For your ravishing pleasure
Hydrate and rejuvenate
Don’t crack or chip
Just slide and slip
On my Glass Cup Lips
Nourish your dehydrated soul
Let your spirit unwind and unfold
Sip towards breathless heaven
Cradle my face with both hands
Sink into my grooves to expand
Beyond dry limited dreams
Drink from my wishing well
Bottomless crystal kisses
From my Glass Cup Lips

Dark Stars
Never seeking attention
Dark Stars aren’t born that way
Existing only for inky perfection
Upon an infinite ebony skyway
Stitching into each other
Midnight’s ageless background
To hideaway from prying eyes
Without making a single sound
Uncomfortable with the shine
Elevated buried treasures
Never found or cracked open
Locked away with pleasure
Five dark pointed shoulders
Lifting bright stars high
Without malice or jealousy
Enhancing their light
Dark Stars aren’t born that way
Existing only for inky perfection
Upon an infinite ebony skyway
Stitching into each other
Midnight’s ageless background
To hideaway from prying eyes
Without making a single sound
Uncomfortable with the shine
Elevated buried treasures
Never found or cracked open
Locked away with pleasure
Five dark pointed shoulders
Lifting bright stars high
Without malice or jealousy
Enhancing their light

Vortex of Visions
Unlocking my creative door
In a levitated mindset
Blood and air pumps faster
Igniting my mind on fire
Where I hammer
That bitch
Writer's block
Onto a crucifix
Knowing my day will come
Our roles will reverse
I’ll eventually succumb
But not today
Today I’m dead and alive
On a different plane
Feeling faded and divine
Blending sane and insane
I’ve disappeared
Writing blind lines
Scrolling my religion
Inside a blazing whirlpool
Vortex of Visions
In a levitated mindset
Blood and air pumps faster
Igniting my mind on fire
Where I hammer
That bitch
Writer's block
Onto a crucifix
Knowing my day will come
Our roles will reverse
I’ll eventually succumb
But not today
Today I’m dead and alive
On a different plane
Feeling faded and divine
Blending sane and insane
I’ve disappeared
Writing blind lines
Scrolling my religion
Inside a blazing whirlpool
Vortex of Visions

Grim Reaper Banshee
My dry ice veiled voice
Hunting the haunted void
Piecing the ominous air
Surfing my lips in death’s prayer
Parched from shrieking
Lifting my cursed airway
Obsessively seeking
Frozen apparition doorways
Frostbitten and withered
Ghosts anxious to be thawed
Melted by my screaming presence
Teasing hints of transcendence
Absorbing my legendary wailing
Draining my omens into delusions
Spirits trying to escape Lucian
From unheeded lost warnings
Unholy misfortunate memories ...
Hunting the haunted void
Piecing the ominous air
Surfing my lips in death’s prayer
Parched from shrieking
Lifting my cursed airway
Obsessively seeking
Frozen apparition doorways
Frostbitten and withered
Ghosts anxious to be thawed
Melted by my screaming presence
Teasing hints of transcendence
Absorbing my legendary wailing
Draining my omens into delusions
Spirits trying to escape Lucian
From unheeded lost warnings
Unholy misfortunate memories ...

Kamikaze Sky
Devil lives on the sun
Drinks 100 proof fire for liquor
His last call waving me over
Beckoning his destruction
In the name of seduction
Sitting oh so all alone
Up high on his inferno throne
Wants to melt me down
Wear me like a golden crown
But deep down I know
I’m not the only one
Got holy water angel wings
Laced and spiked with rum
Bestowed by my mother
Who prays to garnet
Rosaries from past lovers
She says it’s a big bad
World an unsafe place
Empty words have no faith
Beware of...
Drinks 100 proof fire for liquor

Wear me like a golden crown

I’m not the only one
Got holy water angel wings
Laced and spiked with rum

She says it’s a big bad

47 Monkeys
Slithering tails with
The strength of 47 Monkeys
Surround your throat
Aching for a choke
Bringing a kaleidoscope
Of colors when eyes close
It can be heaven or hell
Surviving our ancient spell
Clans of silent rumbles
Forcing families of tears
Aztec Mexico born curse
Siphoned into your ears
Dripping abandonment fears
Cohabiting together on
Fragile cracked ruins
From our insidious weight
Who’ll never stray
We’re here to stay

Fire Monsoon
Let’s break the rules
Create a twilight sunset
To intertwine our scents
Fan flames so high
With feathers of lust
Upon the midnight sky
Sear an orange glow
A flickering ember stroll
Caressed onto curious souls
Cinders sent from high above
Careful not to wake up
The resting tired world
Me and you
A Fire Monsoon
Burning down the moon
Create a twilight sunset
To intertwine our scents
Fan flames so high
With feathers of lust
Upon the midnight sky
Sear an orange glow
A flickering ember stroll
Caressed onto curious souls
Cinders sent from high above
Careful not to wake up
The resting tired world
Me and you
A Fire Monsoon
Burning down the moon

Bleeding Blood
Upon the sharpest
Hook moon of fright
Answering the call
Of a newborn night
Summoning inside this
Rusted metal shed
Surrounded by misted
Red air of dread
Remnants of lovers
From who I just fed
Withered and brittle
Inside my stained bed
See them swirl on my
Slivered vicious tongue
Flavored screams sung
To stay forever young
Inside my painted
Bloodroom of doom
Where witchcraft and
Bloodcraft become one
Ensnared by my
Long lifeless hair ...
Hook moon of fright
Answering the call
Of a newborn night
Summoning inside this
Rusted metal shed
Surrounded by misted
Red air of dread
Remnants of lovers
From who I just fed
Withered and brittle
Inside my stained bed
See them swirl on my
Slivered vicious tongue
Flavored screams sung
To stay forever young
Inside my painted
Bloodroom of doom
Where witchcraft and
Bloodcraft become one
Ensnared by my
Long lifeless hair ...

Pinky Swear
Two iridescent ghosts
Looking for new hosts
Underground closer to hell
Leaving our red shells
Feels exhilarating
Spirits lifting
Since we agreed
We’d go together
Forget good God
Forget evil Devil
Somewhere different
Balanced enlightenment
We’ll spin the dead moon
Comets gracefully speeding by
Swivel the silver stars
Towards our golden start
Tunneling inside infinity
Pinky clasping pinky...
Looking for new hosts

Strike a Lighter
Arrived hand in hand
No standing in line
Got our backstage pass
Let’s make tonight last
No stadium seating
Outside beneath the stars
Music’s ready to start
We’re downing crown & coke
He steps a little closer
I’m moving a little slower
Nah we should go faster
Baby we should strike a lighter
He slides off his T-shirt and smiles
My baby’s a heartslayer
Yes - he took a stab at it
He runs to the mosh pit loves it
My baby’s a jawbreaker
Yes - he’ll take a jab at it ...
No standing in line

Ventana Pages
Peeking through the
Beaten path
Of smudged glass
With caked on specks
Of aged dirt
Searching for
A sign of myself
On the other
Side of the blur
Scrolled onto
My Ventana Pages
Where I spilled the fluid of
My soul with calloused fingers
Behind sheer curtains
Of contemplation
Inside all of my
Different bedrooms
Merging fear with
The beauty of words
Same wild midnight spirit
Unrecognizable with growth
Pondering who I am
Where am I going
Asking my reflection
Who...
Beaten path
Of smudged glass
With caked on specks
Of aged dirt
Searching for
A sign of myself
On the other
Side of the blur
Scrolled onto
My Ventana Pages
Where I spilled the fluid of
My soul with calloused fingers
Behind sheer curtains
Of contemplation
Inside all of my
Different bedrooms
Merging fear with
The beauty of words
Same wild midnight spirit
Unrecognizable with growth
Pondering who I am
Where am I going
Asking my reflection

Making it Beautiful
Home playing piano
Making it beautiful
Just for you
In your favorite red dress
Each heart beat key
Bringing me closer for free
Fingertip music notes
Catching a ride
Exhaled at midnight
Melody blown kisses
For only your ears
Devoted to appear
Millions of miles away
Playing piano keys
Until my nails bleed
Sitting all alone
Making it echo
Just for you
Making it beautiful
Just for you
In your favorite red dress
Each heart beat key
Bringing me closer for free
Fingertip music notes
Catching a ride
Exhaled at midnight
Melody blown kisses
For only your ears
Devoted to appear
Millions of miles away
Playing piano keys
Until my nails bleed
Sitting all alone
Making it echo
Just for you
