Forces of Nature
Today, we are wed
Under warm rain shower
Upon a cold forest bed
Autumn leaves hang heavy
Dripping in celebration
As we’re joined in fusion
Where woods are wet
Today, we are wed
On pungent moist land
Soil damp with our tears
Some sad but most happy
That tell our long love story
Fondly remembering
The journey we’ve taken
Today, we are wed
And I couldn’t imagine
Treading any forbidden path
Through this labyrinth
Or tracing a map
Of any other trail
Than...
Under warm rain shower
Upon a cold forest bed
Autumn leaves hang heavy
Dripping in celebration
As we’re joined in fusion
Where woods are wet
Today, we are wed
On pungent moist land
Soil damp with our tears
Some sad but most happy
That tell our long love story
Fondly remembering
The journey we’ve taken
Today, we are wed
And I couldn’t imagine
Treading any forbidden path
Through this labyrinth
Or tracing a map
Of any other trail
Than...

P T S D-reams
i’m so sick
of seeing
you all
in my dreams
long night
after night
memories
still haunting
and half
of the time
the stories
are all wrong
painting you
in colors
that you
never wore
desires
i dreamt up
wishing you
were more
waking up
thrashing
and yelling
forlorn
those words
i was never
quite able
to say
feelings
i wish
would just
go away
trying to
forgive you
little...

you all
in my dreams
long night

and half

k-
you are a moonlit tear
trickling down cheek
the love in your pen
is felt by many
bouncing moonbeams
through the ether
you send us
wise words
and a kind soul
my heart is with you
dear friend
💙

Morpheus Reveals: Magnum Opus
i became
a field of soft fern
an evening meadow
a transmuted soul
consumed
by white mushrooms
and long blades of grass
planting their roots
in my veins
i’m afraid of
what they’ll do to me
so i rip them all out
but the fungi remains
too deep to
uproot
now an IV tube
its spores spotting
my left forearm
over scars burning red
where skin once bled
what does it want
from body and flesh?
does it not
want me dead?

Slaughtering Song Lyrics / Unusual Remixes
Part 1:
Aladdin’s “A Whole New World”
+ “Reading Rainbow” mashup.
Books can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, honest, now when did
You last dream of books to buy?
Books can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic book to read
No one to tell us “No!”
Or question us
“You sure you need another?”
A whole new book
A dazzling place we never knew ...

Scribbling Nonsense
Addicted to adverbs
Conjunctions and hyperbole
Can you believe I’ve just
Created this monstrosity
An inspired creative frenzy
Or just a crazed lunacy
Laughing maniacally
Authenticity compels me
Obsessing over misspellings
My pen is running dry in this
Grammatical maelstrom
And I’m losing the fight
Slashing run-on sentences
Wielding the editor’s knife
I fix a paraphrasing and the verse
Dissolves right before my eyes
Verbs blur into maladies
Prepositions interject and then
I’m...

Flow Sweetly
so hard yet so vital
the walls we once
used for survival
can encapsulate us
long after the need
for protection
turning self
preservation
into isolation
i pray your path
becomes easier
to communicate
the human connection
is a primal
necessity
the walls we once
used for survival
can encapsulate us
long after the need
for protection
turning self
preservation
into isolation
i pray your path

Breathing Fire [My Birth Chart]
gemini sun:
a contemplative wind
susceptible to whimsy
aries moon:
a transformative pyre
never settling for confinement
sagittarius ascendant:
an inferno blazing new trails
seeking hope on the horizon
leo south node:
childlike in determination
mastering the flame of creation
aquarius north node:
an ethereal projection
humble yet timeless elemental
a contemplative wind

Rowan
named your newborn son
after my baby cousin
and i can’t help but wonder
if your new baby mama
knows just how twisted you really are
your games are unironic
poisoning and hypnotic
you plagiarize the subject
while framing the delusion
with a name you stole from heaven
coming to conclusions
assuming your transgressions
will be forgiven and forgotten
but i will never be silenced
i know justice is overdue
it’s coming for you soon
pity not the fool
...
