onyx'd ancestry.
A generational tender beauty,
aged in precious;
Gram's ring—
She raised her namesake well
Then he passed it down,
per requested wish;
Firstly worn, to match my funeral attire
O' how it shone......
Her light echo'd through all the darkness
aged in precious;
Gram's ring—
She raised her namesake well
Then he passed it down,
per requested wish;
Firstly worn, to match my funeral attire
O' how it shone......
Her light echo'd through all the darkness

Devil May Care - An erotic redux
Your mouth,
It's smart and witty
BITING
Into that tender skin under my ear
where I spill my secrets,
I was so clear,
that's
where...I lose it all
Where 'good girl'
sheds all airs
and I'm left swimming in
"Devil may cares"
Head thrown back
to access flesh
"Ohh, God"
I. Love. It.
Self control never existed
Did I, before your mouth moved across my skin? ...
It's smart and witty
BITING
Into that tender skin under my ear
where I spill my secrets,
I was so clear,
that's
where...I lose it all
Where 'good girl'
sheds all airs
and I'm left swimming in
"Devil may cares"
Head thrown back
to access flesh
"Ohh, God"
I. Love. It.
Self control never existed
Did I, before your mouth moved across my skin? ...

self soothe singsong (you are my sunshine)
During these new nights
of lone attempts at self soothe
and redirecting this bullshit spiking curve
I hum to myself with a handful of wine
and... remember...
There was once upon a time,
where my attempts to vocally soothe meant
drinks and flips through the karaoke book
along with a faux spotlight of tipsy bravery-
I would set my sights
and sing with all my scotchy delight
slightly impressing
upon a crowd of like minded 40 somethings
with their scattered applause
an'd affirmatives of...

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

11th Dec 2020 3:58am
hubris(n't)
Convoluted
within such grandiose
To glow and highlight
yet devouring a shine
Favoring as a fuel
that unconfined hubris;
Hidden in the very deepest,
such unbeknownst ire
Odious in nothing but ignored silence
An unspeakable comeuppance
of a slow burning true self serving;
As are the whipping flames
of all the unjustly deserved tediousness
that roars into a blooming jealous fire
within such grandiose
To glow and highlight
yet devouring a shine
Favoring as a fuel
that unconfined hubris;
Hidden in the very deepest,
such unbeknownst ire
Odious in nothing but ignored silence
An unspeakable comeuppance
of a slow burning true self serving;
As are the whipping flames
of all the unjustly deserved tediousness
that roars into a blooming jealous fire

morning (self) aftercare.
I cherish and immerse myself
allowing for this moment
of blissful chosen weakness
A reminder and a lesson
that not all pain equivocates the negative
or is even a sign of meekness
Sometimes, it's the pain
that makes one feel most powerful and alive
with a replenishment
of self awareness
and nothing
but unadulterated
knowing and learned pride
P.S.
and randomly
a possible
sore af "fanny"....

DARK POEM

4th Dec 2020 4:04pm
a plea from a (very) reluctant nonworshiper
I am loathe to beg at religion's feet,
due to past reasons that stir of purest rage
and solidified a purposeful excommunica'y
Yet it's now that I will an exception to rise,
as hard as this task is, fuck me, I will try...
Yes, _od dammit I am here,
Unbelieving, still I beg~ set aside pride and kneel
look up and silent scream upon such Grace
or Grace(s), not sure anymore of their individual faces
i plea to thee, all and every, such variety;
A tender undeserving soul of love and light
-so personified-
A...

i won't be seeing you~[in my dreams]
I fell asleep and dreamt
of nothing but you...
Warmth morphed into heat
to burn so complete
Flesh betwixt flesh
Writhing in the aether, enmeshed
A kiss on my belly sparking
those wings of butterfly flutter~ embarking
Your fingertip'd glide across alabaster
s l i d e
Eliciting a tiny mew of a goosebump sigh
echoing within that dreamy ever after
Never—
not once
did I see even a trace
confirming what I knew,
even in dreams
yours, is a face erased
swirling in my imaginary blue, ...
of nothing but you...
Warmth morphed into heat
to burn so complete
Flesh betwixt flesh
Writhing in the aether, enmeshed
A kiss on my belly sparking
those wings of butterfly flutter~ embarking
Your fingertip'd glide across alabaster
s l i d e
Eliciting a tiny mew of a goosebump sigh
echoing within that dreamy ever after
Never—
not once
did I see even a trace
confirming what I knew,
even in dreams
yours, is a face erased
swirling in my imaginary blue, ...

waiting to cauterize.(a heart's bloody tale)
a frenzy
hurried into rushing,
only to wait
Oh, it's the waiting,
it tears at you
ripping it all open
from stem to stern
I watch —
as the flow trickles
languid
and
s l o w l y
traversing down my chest
my bloodied heart
so exposed
Yes, even then,
vulnerable and bleeding
a heart beats ~
waiting.....

pauses.
It beats faithful, trusted still
while asking your name
between each paused beat
I haven't the courage gathered
to say aloud
the certainty of what my mind hides
hoping to just live always
within those pauses, between cherished beats
where we remain forever
while asking your name
between each paused beat
I haven't the courage gathered
to say aloud
the certainty of what my mind hides
hoping to just live always
within those pauses, between cherished beats
where we remain forever

a (trio) of defenselessness
(i)
bloodied broken
and breathless;
coursing
with overwhelming emotion—
a heart leaps
because fighting for you
is a lifelong reward...
.... now reaped
(ii)
it's funny,
how my thoughts
s
w
i
r
l
so lost in my head's own peril
a forgotten reminder,
to coax my heart to keep beating
(iii)
the most unwanted star ...
bloodied broken

a heart leaps
because fighting for you
is a lifelong reward...
