Don’t lose sight
of my meaning
for the clouds in your head
painted in vivid scene
Skywriting courtesy
of imagery mind you
god like Geppetto
narrated in animated dream
I’m A Real Boy
hip-hop-skip-danced
in spirited pitch
puppet smiling in glee
Pen arts bow to me
stun in curtsy
then swoop conscious
clubbed as comic relief
I is He we are Thee
strung in complement
to hobble punchline
metaphoric humbled repeat
Lord of the Rings
knock loose in
spun tales of...

Chattered Teeth
Its frigid like a whip outside
the Hawk is out
I took two steps in brisk
to land clenched teeth in mouth
Consider me a visiting guest
I’m not used to low temps
There’s beach life sun at home
arctic gust got my energy limp
Dr. Seuss me some Camu Camu
to keep immunity high
Then toke condensated puffs in jest
to keep comic from going awry
I can’t stand in the cold
I can’t stand it at all
Have me laid up in downed sheets
smothered curled in a ball
Sniffles flute to whistle
wrapped burrito like when born
It’s...

Sword tongue spoken

Happy Born Day
Letter to my first
I unleashed you
into the world
with the snip of a natal chord
With tenacity we fell
in love at first sight
even then I knew this world
thru me was yours
Three played together
as I watched you
grow strong
from a feeble introduction
To hold your head high
looking up to me
a child-father
no prerequisite nor question
Seems I did the teaching
but truth is
I learned myself
in sacrifice thru you
Re-lived from first step
to remove training wheels ...

Smolder
That OCD sly stone look on my face
is the armor brick in my heart
no pebble filter to what empaths bring
Listen to logic to comprehend not inferred fracture
sculpted vibration of a baritone
past-explosive BEAST king
That’s knowledge rumbled slow boiling
volcanic stirred to epiphany
elusive c/o/n/-fused delay to react
Core touch on low pitch growl
in lava crawl to docile hairs in ovation
erect on nape back
Chip off the block erupted sculpted mane
coarse knotty dread
prickly quills defend to enforce...

Alpha Male
Otherworldly lucid
envisioned insights mosaic
writing clairvoyant entranced
Quill expansive unapologetic
in complex worlds
to masculine stance
Livid thoroughbred
baptised in fire honored in flowers
of past horror stories
Survived injury carried by One
mirrored in backwoods
as night turn dark to gory
DUICE
in solidarity surveying eyes
are of no consequence its personal
Every cut healed to scar
how the star was born
vitality endured unmerciful
To reject what taps my strength
bound to weakness ...

The Destroyer (Part 5)
Doling excruciating pain is obsession to valiant soldiers
that’ll arm wrestle the very epitome of Death to that
Fighting for infinity wraith on the other dark side
of time and space in stone grip to strike back
Black Panther speaking open heart surgery
to parade of Ancestors razor claws drawn
I do it for Wakanda across the chest
til life RIPs respawn or blood gone
Silver fox too cunning to be meat
in afterlife a simp or devoured
When I die it’ll be sacrificial in stance extinguished
glorious Lamb to awaken bright side empowered ...

He-She-Other
Eyeing life side-eyed asphyxiated in this spotters scope
concave monocular teetering in and out of trance
Observant surveilling wretched buffoonery trending
cyclic magnified in this inauspicious life dance
Shrewd to learn intricate reasoning in depths of people
evolved judgemental life views secluded
Laid in the cut calm as a fly on the rancid wall
gender-neutral bathroom festering larvae included
Planted trigger behaviors become iridescently apparent
in blank jungle silence of blossoming juvenile minds
Passive watching random demonic ongoers...

XOXO
All I know is
be real keep integrity
takes too much energy
to level down for a snake
When the grass low
I’m good it's cool
when I’m not
it's chaos folks levitate
Run don’t walk
mowed at that growl
a howl’s far worse
nape hairs stood on ends
If you got me fucked up
was a person
I’d collect bodies
not friends
Steel fiber
sharpens teeth
off with their heads
Queen of Hearts salt remarks
Overstand I’m a different pedigree
seasoned lone wolf
murder to eat by Nature
no false starts ...

Exorcizing Demons (Part 4) (ExercisingDemons near-collab)
Walking abandoned faint section
of steel train track entranced
by opulent bug with a God complex
in murder of crows nest
Dante inferno hallucination drapes
bewitch stage scene entry
absent benevolence malice feint
convenes eternal rest
Fallen endlessly soul struck fowl
bestial wraith outside carnal realms
only rule at Tartarus entrance
was Allowed temporary burning
Carnivorous phoenix leading eye (Job 1:12 view)
dichotomy Shrieks aerial ablaze
legendary incarnate landed
craves carnage fiercely feast...

Mr. Grinch
Honestly since you asked
I’m disgruntled
enjoying today alone cup near full
Quick temper galore
I’m typically Mr. Freeze solo
during holidays
it's a dagger in the ice chest
that goes ignored
Intoxicated subzero don’t do toxic stupid shit
PTSD suicide or murder
that’s poison ivy black rose debauchery
just one more dark problem
Life is perception some perceive demons
I make tea for mine
when not decimating them,
urbane Alfred: Batman & Robin
I been embrace the shadows
depress at least 20...
