I Want to Destroy a Monarchy
I’m coming for YOU, death.
Your monarchy of pain and destruction
will soon be over.
There’s no begging or pleading or praying to you, for we all know you will never answer.
“Who”
or
“Whatever”
“YOU”
are
The gut-wrenching hopelessness
creates cortisol
which raises my heart rate
and alters my breathing
and panics me.
You can’t miss out on that.
He was everything to me,
but not what you would expect.
Maybe he was better than you. ...

EYE
EYE stumbled in front of the spring garden
EYE devoured its colors
how could EYE not?
EYE saw the troll in the corner
EYE focused only on its antagonism
EYE resented the persistence
of yet another specter
EYE didn’t want to acquiesce
Closing my eyes
I reminded myself darkness tries
to infringe on beauty
I planted those bulbs
I am mindful of not accepting
malice’s invitation
I let the troll fade into the background
I see the covetable...

Self Soulmate

Snack Fantasies
On the palm of my hand
grew orange peel trees; lemons flourished on their peppermint branches
A lush chocolate cupcake
beneath a swirl of blueberry icing was temporary lodging for the senses
Insuppressible fingers ‘cupped’
all the cravings trying to cradle as many guilty pleasures as possible
Caramel waterfalls flowed
around cookie tower mountains and watermelon canyons where I boarded a pretzel raft and glazed over all the confections
Finally, air-pop-corning a return ride to my cupcake lounge, and...

The dance
The blade ripped along the seam of my dress, approaching my skin but never penetrating
My attire was now reduced to a garter belt and stockings
Guests’ gasps were silenced with lavish refills
Your glance summoned and the knife was traded for a rose
I freed the remains of the slashed garment binding my black spike heels
My flowing long hair was insufficient to cover the nudity
Delicate music commenced and the room accompanied us in dance after our first twirl
You whispered, “I always take what I want”
My attire was now reduced to a garter belt and stockings
Guests’ gasps were silenced with lavish refills
Your glance summoned and the knife was traded for a rose
I freed the remains of the slashed garment binding my black spike heels
My flowing long hair was insufficient to cover the nudity
Delicate music commenced and the room accompanied us in dance after our first twirl
You whispered, “I always take what I want”

None of this is fair
Unlike the meticulous planning of a wedding, an obituary serves as the invitations and a few phone calls procures essentials for an interment
Within days the accommodations are booked, the staff ready, the guest of honor prepared, and the room decorated
Memorial cards printed, limos waxed, and even the reception room is filled with fare for those invited to feast
The sounds are discrete at a funeral ceremony, a library silence, an inherent rule of respect I suppose
Friends, families and acquaintances hurt along side you. “I’m sorry for your...

Christmas Prowler
Hello my Christmas prowler, shake the boxes as much as you can, squeeze the packages and try to guess, I know what you desire, still I will not confess
Sugar plums continue to dance in your head
Ask me where I have been and sneak up on me with your camera while I am shopping,
I am acquainted with your trickery and enjoyably confident you will not be stopping
You have met your match as you try to peer and to sneak, but you underestimate that I have merrily allowed you to follow me and permitted you to peak
Dashing through the snow
...

Cosmos
Stars breathtakingly began melting; I witnessed them showering the dark sky
The crescent moon diverting, caught every luminous drop
Keeping your promise; you gave me the universe
My firm grip on the sheets graciously betrayed me as you immersed yourself into me
Possessing the thunderous heavens, contractions tightened my grip imprisoning you
Intimately granting and exhaustively consuming, with each breath, we became absently lost in our own cosmos
The crescent moon diverting, caught every luminous drop
Keeping your promise; you gave me the universe
My firm grip on the sheets graciously betrayed me as you immersed yourself into me
Possessing the thunderous heavens, contractions tightened my grip imprisoning you
Intimately granting and exhaustively consuming, with each breath, we became absently lost in our own cosmos

Lean on me
Pardon
those chaotically scrambled panic attacks, with signed papers from
your mind’s warden
Permit
obligations and after time-served, face those doubts which incarcerated you
Lean
on me because I will never abandon you, I will be waiting for you upon your release
be confused;
question yourself;
scream;
cry;
laugh;
Walk to the edge, I will support you
curl up in a ball;
think;
hide;
get away;
stay;
Be alone, or cling to me
run;
walk;
sleep; ...
