Poet Introduction
Coming together of two great forces: verse & universe
Echo
it was certainly your fault
and even if it wasn't..it still was gonna be your fault
why i woke up so thick...my beast burdened
mood darkened..from a fuzzy dream
i am harkened.....{drugged} back to the
familiar days of...
pulses in overdrive...atmosphere electric
eyes glazed...senses blazing
losing grip on the moment...as cyclonic movement overtook time
my embrace craving the weight of your pressure
come now, love...
I'll accept responsibility but...
would this Aurae slip into your nightly reverie
calling up...

...as love
opaqued over
her obsidian pillar did love
manifest
condensing miles into moments
pausing time
drawing spirit & mind
intertwining into a single breath
monumental
in sheer movement
shared in a hemisphere of kindredness
of inexplicable familiarity
did love drape
fold..mold
and steadied itself

The Muse and The Phantom
perched upon our eternal post
herons with eyes ever open
we make contact between shades of grey
a hum in the throat of potential
interdimensional lovers of humanity
vibrating down an (un)common frequency
we've journeyed from two different realms of perspectives
soared through varying atmospheres of understanding
seeking ways to commune
when tongues move in unfamiliar patterns
through the sludge of neo tribalism
encountering the pack mentality
new age theologies and castes of identity politics
isms & civics...

Minute Man
don't think to tempt me
if you're not committed beyond the moment
I'm not a one night flash in your dark
a stroke to your greedy ego
I'm an investment...but worth it
don't get me wrong...
no promises needed
I have no expectations of being the answer to your every undying wish
but if there's using to be done...
let's agree to do it together
trust me...you'll get more out of the experience
if you take the time & get to know me
I can pour more fuel into the blaze
when I know you won't evaporate with the fading stars
leave...

The Human Hourglass
how much dust are we
an accumulation of experiences
shifting listlessly down
drowning...dreaming from
birth to death & whatever time lies in between
isms and possibilities
measured by our moments only
mirroring hopes of true transcendence
achievements are merely a bonus
in the grand scheme of things
icing on the perfect cake
maybe the muse of a condensed lifetime
so long as we don't idle
on that human hamster wheel
letting it overbake
putting the call on hold
gravity falls & we're meant to...

Lyrical Sorcerer
I love the way my everyday words sound
as you wrap them in your mouth
seeping rooted sycamore
flavoring the senses
tasting them...allowing them to ferment
before dripping from your lips
every sigh & interjection
thickened injection...spreading intersections
reading my poetic expression
takes on new texture...more depth
more nuances...fingerfucking latent undercurrents
and your voice as you breathe out my words
exhuming lyrical spirits
infuses sorcery into each verse
I cup my palms to capture them as they...

Fingering you...again
My apologies....
I know I haven't fingered you in a while
Lingered my lewdness inside the folds of your
Quilled imagination...
I've been wondering...
Have you felt me stirring
Restless between these sheets
Still bearing the stain of each previous exploration
It's been too long since I've moved
Some of that furniture around the underbelly
Of your unique boutique
Fed you my rhapsodic aggression
Feng Shui your silky interior
Your brand of hunger demands my full...

A Reintroduction
i see you
from across the room
across the distance
a woman you are
of sophistication..of sultriness
and assertiveness
casting an alluring ambiance
in any room you occupy
your true spoken word is
non verbal at its root
speaking of pedigree and expectations
vetting cerebral connections
taste testing for intellectual stimulation
at all times
a woman
about your business
got no time for
juvenile simulations of manhood
or facsimiles of alpha male strategies
and what...

Instinctual
Mmm
he injects me
whispers fire in my ear
lips grazing tempting
inhaling verse from my sighs
trailing words down my thighs
quivering in my need
he teases
fingers inviting
aggressive eyes inciting
so bold in his manner
as he leans in
curving my longing into him
quietly demanding
come on, baby
you can do better...
and
she did...do better
hips arched..
angled the way i like them
gifting my arrogance full access
she got wetter...oh so plumper
spreading her thighs ...

Sand Scripture
I watch as the words we wrote
so beautifully infused
with passion & hunger
with us
spread across the sands of time
slowly erode
I want to capture them
gather them up
salvage their truth
but the waters have betrayed me
washing them away
and it hurts
sitting on this island
in the middle of monsoon
without you
but as rhapsodic
winds would twist in
the bosom of a whimsical fate
waters receded only to
prophesize a tsunami of loving sentiments
washed ashore in
rolls of familiar sea...

Nameless
what is this?
what are we?
do you remember me asking that?
forget I ever asked
I no longer need an answer
there's a pretty good chance there isn't one
you know what I mean?
indeed
like where are we
self evident....
soul residents grazing in our here and now
gardening tales of our crypt
paraphrasing past manuscripts
playing catch up as we rewind footage of
...our hedonistic happenstance..
besides...every moment since has negated the need
each open communication
all the fiery nights ...

Unbroken
maybe our moon
will spill rhapsodic sentiments
of soul-whistled music throughout
the night filled with seductive notes
fingering hidden keys of
verses saturated with heady emotions
pulsing..rhythmic...steady
filling beds of unlined sheets
underlined through the abyss of
strained memories...pained and pleasured
stretching a spectrum of
such pretty thoughts & fiery veins
and yet...
desire was left hamstrung
the depth of our roots was lacking ...
