Poet Introduction
The haunting bittersweetness of coconut cream pie
It's been a long while
Years are mere moments
some days shine bright
of your warm memory
it's only in dark shadows
where the sting still stings
Finding my own smile
in tattered old photos
or sounds of our similar nature
tears can't help but brim
quivering
at our alikeness
unmistakably similar
so uncanny
I can't help but chuckle
yeah, that too... is familiar
Laughing through tears
grief finds it's own way
through, over
and around
Every single one
of...

Betwixt Exultation And Love's Torment
Blindness
Slowly lifts
We stagger to pinpoint focus
You
Are a harbinger
I bear hallowed witness
Wrapped up in the minutiae of sensation
Anticipating this epoch desire
Bewitched and utterly bespoke just for you
White static
Multiplies starved frenzy
Rumblings of archaic thunder
Stir my wickedness
Calling forth a sum of your whole
Everything you have to give
Becomes mine for the taking
Knowing your beast is restless
Revelation mingles upon a periphery
Twine shadows conjugate sweet lustre ...

Ride or Die
Two kindred spirits
embrace an unspoken pact
always... and then some
embrace an unspoken pact
always... and then some

The Weight of gravity²
I can't sleep tonight
so I write you.
I write to alleviate anxiety
from the day's events
{nothing more than usual}
and I write to you because
yours
is the voice I seek
to soothe—
your specialty,
which changes the trajectory
of a truly stressful day
oh how you love me to say
Writing you connects us
through merciful Gods
much smarter than myself
Maybe- if you're quiet enough
right now
you can hear my thoughts, ...
so I write you.

boldness in the hereafter
i.
the weight
left behind
was dense
almost sticky
as it hung in air
adhering him
everywhere
ii.
Freedom
is kaleidoscopic
i grow my power
stronger
bit by bit
reinforcing
consequences
of new choices
anytime
anyplace
with anyone
anywhere
reborn,
with that unrepentant
nature
i thought died
when he did.
iii.
Reaching out,
grasping
tightly
with both hands ...

The perfect storm
I stray
from where it's warm
choose the perfection
of icy wind
cutting me
in tidy little ribbons
releasing anxious pain
in whispered
rivulets
It's my way;
wandering alone
roaming far away
from hearth and home
unharbored— jettisoned
finding rapture in ruins
my own shipwrecked architect
Squalls carry familiar sounds,
recognition is a meandering thought
slivers of miracles
erode time
tamp down depression
refreshing stagnant minds
hailing the horizon's harmonic...

There's Such Sights To Show You
I know
without you asking
Feel your soul's rampage
Unspoken are chilled secrets
which twist a dire spear
Harnessing natural care
we instant soothe
our mutual destruction
long and purposeful
Both sharing
needle and thread
Stitching each other closed
with tender hushes sewn
Mewing pleas to divinity
at every languid pull
Stem the bleeding
Where scars weep tears
Rip themselves open
Revealing
streams of unconcealed chaos

The folly of fear & the precariousness of dissatisfaction
..
Tell me
what is it like
when you're away
are you pseudo celebrating
with ironic plastic freedom
are you having pangs
of lust filled
'Ican'twaittotasteher-isms'
a waiting mechanism
full of pesky gnawing throes
that yearn luscious-ly fine
pulling upon a tendril's bows
clawing inside a mind whose
brilliance could be diamond shine
Tell me
what is it like
when you are gone
are you at ease
comfortable in your own skin ...

Waiting is the hardest part
I run across the heated sand
aware of the tides
wave after wave
inch their crashes closer... bigger
towards an anxious shore
Winds whip to carve scars
deep within the water's edge
strength barrels ahead
rip tides cut dangerous
out of sight— it lies in wait.
The wind in the leaves
is it's only tell.
Blue beckons grey graphite to iron
sometimes nearer,
skies glow an orangeish hue
humidity mixes with dense pressure
a strange feeling
to prepare
to encompass
