nude
have courage to stand
naked with me.
we choose to show
our skin, sweats
our fragility.
both divested,
see through the clothes.
our skin vets
vulnerability
and is so much more
than the daily grind;
that status quo
of a maddening world.

caged
He wears a mask of outward calm
A cool composure, undisturbed
He walks with a sure and measured gait
Steady murmurs ave nightmare paved
His attempt to cadge this unkindness
But meets only a ravens gaze disinclined
To murder his presence
Took to him fully in the eye
He still moves on with dignity
Watches this crowed sky land distant scars
A comet streaks against the dark
A counterpoint to masking mars

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

stars with a dead tongue
they do not
know the darkness.
how the light can fade
into coptic
and all conclusions
drawn unreasonable.
pale words cave,
ave surprises carved
in stone from hollow stems
no longer native,
motionless as time
caught in dry gases
of exhausted stars.
today I write
with inspiration—
careful to dream
on a cusp of night,
knowing that all stars
are not the same
and never so far away.

NSFW
it’s fortuitous.
walking in
feeling undetected.
is this where
all the introverts
congregate?
kill me now.
I’m having
societal thoughts.
leaving unnoticed
suggests contrary results.
like an clip from Pornhub,
and I’m in
the middle
of a circle jerk,
nobody cares
how I got here,
I’ll take it all.
when the leitmotif
breaks,
money shot,
everyone stroking
their egos, and
when they’re finished,
one of these jerk ...

the nineties
come as you are.
Bobbit sheered folly
drinking O.J.,
spike it with Molly.
MTV, pop culture
anaconda.
internal cigars
smoke out Rwanda.
U.S. strikes
Saddam Hussein.
are you still master
of your domain?
San Fran levelled,
stripping Gaza.
Timothy McVeigh
bombing piazzas
gaping holes
in our ozone.
We? Be like
Mike. Dolly clone

perpetual notions
life’s nihilistic beautification
and cynical reflection
feeds a perpetual cycle
of expectations
and disappointments. the farthest distance
in the world
is between how it is,
and how you thought
it was going to be. like a confirmation
of internal inadequacies
based on
insatiable curiosities,
we all strive
to amalgamate
you and me to us.

crossing fate
shibuya crossing have
all these lives scrambling,
in line passing
in every direction.
at some point, we all missed
a turn somewhere
despite preparedness.
we follow along
with the crowd large
enough to ignore traffic
lights and signs
and hope to make it.
I wonder if it’s fate
or mistakes
that lead us.
I stop at the edge
of the curb.
how odd this
pause—
as if in life
we weren’t moving fast enough;
as if in love
we were moved by others;
as if in death...
all these lives scrambling,
in line passing
in every direction.
at some point, we all missed
a turn somewhere
despite preparedness.

cloudy with a chance of showers
when time
dries out
and leaves
you wilted—
left with
the soft touch
of conjecture
or promises
quenching relief,
myths blend in
two; the memory
of middles
fading
beginnings
and shaded
ends.

Certainly so
we began with one certainty,
faith waves timely streams
drifting lovely would
haves and could haves
barking bare.
it’s only when we dance
a duet shining the sun and moon
eclipsed we realize nakedness
exposes more than nudity,
that there is no certainty
and rivers striking postures
are as fleeting as love.

——
she’s out there,
waiting.
her wounds
deeper still.
she paints
herself black
remaining
undefined.
to see you
majestic as
her soul presses
in perspicacity,
she craves
my hands
on her,
like all
the stars
in sky.
so dance
with me.
dance all
damn night
with me. I’ll lead
you through
the night,
to incite
a rebirth within
nebulas core,
to heal the
fight...

seeded garden
heavens leave bolides empty;
implode and ingest whats gone to seed
the lone darkness will reap all
and fallow stars are gathered too
each heart will slash and burn and sow
from each other’s aloneness
grabbing hold what dark
has grown from infertile lands.

poor me, an allegory
long coats are blown
chasing reality;
which is why I drink
my doubles in a short skirt.
dreams surrounds
the tongue
with liquid courage;
I’m too intoxicated
on hiked up tomorrows.
I’ll mingle in
the simile of swallowing
cozen words
more addictive than pussy.
I’d rather have
the bartender pour
my drink behind metaphors
casting the shadows
of yesterday.
