aether. (equilibrium in practice)
Your breath over my shoulder
gentle pressure of lips on my nape
timbre of true complex depth echo, but small
a bask, in your whispered voice softly in ear
Can you feel my breath catch?
or my palms oh so damp ?
My fragile newly opened heart
almost punches through
my well thought of infrangible ribcage
I feel tender fingertips in all places my need lives
Have the Gods been listening themselves?
Is my honor in such glory due?
To need this heady benevolent reward is
to breathe
For whatever deeds done, to such my...

alone, yet not alone with her heartbreak. [800 years and counting]
Last night @ 6:41pm EST
I fell so in love
Yet alone, where no one knew
under a dazzling brilliant shine
I could hear centuries tell their stories
Jupiter and Saturn shook hands
The true magic of an ineffable conjunction
eight hundred years of secrets strewn
...I captured it..
as my heart broke...

dreams in recompense.
I woke up hours before the alarm,
forgetting, for just a few drowsy seconds,
left in a haze—
only a dream's kind of stillness,
a foggy, jumbled emotional bliss
I swear
I found you there,... waiting
with arms outstretched in recompense;
Instantly my skin ached to bone with brutal need,
despite knowing far better, when in usual awake;
It was only you and me and all our torched
greed;
Your mouth left quiet,
cursed by my own mind's thieve
I have...

like the wind.
run
as if thine own feet wing'ed and lighter than this heady wicked air
run
as fast as a blue leopardess in all her ferocious steady stare
run
from toxins, that sear and singe upon once tender, now burning flesh
run
in an ardent purpose driven by a claimed honor all but repossessed
run
as drops of curdled blood pulse from eyes that blur with tortured sting
run
as reddened sputum streams out a mouth which once, such glory sing
run
with a chest exploding in implosion...

detected pangs of an incandescent insomniac.
Sleep is but a featherlite gentle kiss on my lips
there, teetering on the cusp of awake
swirling with an (un)recognizable pang
nothing real to allow a muster,
not even a will enough to want or care;
a bitterness,
remains—
as thoughts persist,
in all the gradient grandeur of but one reality
and my own harsh burdens to carry,
So heavy
Heavy and duly just.
within all of my(this) incriminating darkness
there, teetering on the cusp of awake
swirling with an (un)recognizable pang
nothing real to allow a muster,
not even a will enough to want or care;
a bitterness,
remains—
as thoughts persist,
in all the gradient grandeur of but one reality
and my own harsh burdens to carry,
So heavy
Heavy and duly just.
within all of my(this) incriminating darkness

vaporize
fool
too much
too fast
too willing
to my own brutal detriment
a submissive nature in open apparent
to be a sure mark left so embarrassed
tattered in a foreseeable idiocy
reeking of, "go ahead please just use me"
misty versions
cyber contusions
listen
(I didn't)
when I was repeatedly told
listen
(maybe this time)
to warnings of an admitted fraud
it is the truth, in all it's specific bold
inner tears and ripping scratches
bullshit self worth ~ just strike the matches ...

lone.
a
fragile
hypocritical
soul
where loneliness grows
like a weed ~ neglected
yet in a persistent ire
standing strong in passage
willfully against
all of the elements
it's audacity remains—
thrives
especially
in such perfect conditions
when even the sun bows
...O' how lonely does bloom...

meteo(r)oar ~ alien DNA and all it's perceived poison
I can feel the dull driving ache of your absence~
like the crush of a vacuum
That's what happens when your blown apart
by a meteor
Alien, in all it's perceived eloquence;
Perceptions aren't truths known,
they're flashes of unsubstantiated
Yet a flash was all I needed.
Unexpectedness of the immediate,
mixed with a deep seeded desire to know more Created the perfect explosion
I AM your beautifully damaged aftermath.
Your alien DNA roared,
and most certainly became an elixir
of which my mind and body
adamantly...
like the crush of a vacuum
That's what happens when your blown apart
by a meteor
Alien, in all it's perceived eloquence;
Perceptions aren't truths known,

Unexpectedness of the immediate,
mixed with a deep seeded desire to know more Created the perfect explosion

What the funk? (blues & jazz)
my heart's desire...
she beats a mean beat;
every pound in my chest
is another secret that reverberates
a cacophony of beating pitter patter
becomes a heartbeat of a jazz infused
swing-styled scatting scatter
another beat~ Billie Holiday croons
still another ~ Armstrong's cornet looms
pulse quickens in innocent shivers
whilst Thelonious Monk's piano delivers
or Miles Davis to lead a swing band
as his trumpet is blowing jams
The beating becomes...

Somewhere bluebirds fly
Troubles melt like lemon drops
Why oh why, can't I
