you know i love you
god only knows
chance it as it goes
slaughtering obsessions
of other peoples opinions
across the surface
of a body of emotions
vulnerable open
figurative clothes off
this is not the time
to run to my hiding places
you know I love you
talking to everyone else but you
I'm stuffing emptiness into space
scars against white lace
dancing towards a truth
on you I won't intrude
I'm fine on my own
the potpourris on the stove
I knew I loved you
on that first drive home
I'm drawn to your...

"die and become"
roads ridden numb
felt the shiver strum
lush lips part beside
sidewalks too bright
didn't look- too shy
didn't say no goodbye
unlucky numbers bet
hushed songs slow set
trickled beads of sweat
the breath of wings
salt crusted fog stings
tears for chimney smoke
honey pot sticky stoked
lust giddy goslings
flitting off saplings
broken branches with envy
for the leaves so sunny
brushing against legs
swooning in the lakes
bubbling for air
lacking all it takes
to just say her name
to just...
felt the shiver strum

lust giddy goslings

swooning in the lakes

symbiotics
(edited:)
glistening blossoms bloom
the center of gravity
dawns around noon
horses neigh reality
the wind whistled a lost tune
off in the distance
shady backdrop reminiscent
skeleton oak moved
in sync with flickering leaves
against the winded breeze
spirit to choose- moods to bleed
free the fool who runs to see
blinding beauty flows between
light shine music, gleams the teeth
ancient currency feels the stream
the edge is closer than perceived
flowers...

morning blessing
A sunny morning blessing
light beams craving and caressing
my skin, worshipping the sun
my dress, my dress undone
as if heaven has fallen in love
blinking reality into softness
warmth so honest
sunny morning ritual
sweet my sorrow's wishful
solar dance moves
my laughter, my stomp boots
beggin' for soothe
bright and true
light beams craving and caressing
my skin, worshipping the sun
my dress, my dress undone
as if heaven has fallen in love
blinking reality into softness
warmth so honest
sunny morning ritual
sweet my sorrow's wishful
solar dance moves
my laughter, my stomp boots
beggin' for soothe
bright and true

mountain symbol
Leave a cherry on the mountain top,
If it’s space you need, you’ve got-
(-golden white rivers flow out of me-)
Quarantine
Shelter in place
I want to go towards your face
Cuz that’s where reality is.
A river between mirrors
Of fear and loneliness.
One safe place
Your island in the stream
I’d sit and wait
Pen n rifle, shadow n light beam
Your pain's got something to say-
And temperance has faith
Mountain symbols of release
On the other side of pain
Love is safe
If it’s space you need, you’ve got-
(-golden white rivers flow out of me-)
Quarantine

Cuz that’s where reality is.

And temperance has faith

DARK POEM

bitter wine
distractions dance the night into day time
breaking miracles across the horizon
as this bitter wine
shatters into colors of sun rises.
lucky onlookers are too naive
to appreciate this glory
but the colors are so disco
it's truly moody
how the clouds drip down
bitten by endless miles
i taste what's in front of me
it's tasting hated
i'm drinking it anyway
Bittersweet evermore
fermented apple core
droopy smile,
distant eyes,
i told you dont die
but you were too shy
i was...
breaking miracles across the horizon
as this bitter wine
shatters into colors of sun rises.
lucky onlookers are too naive
to appreciate this glory
but the colors are so disco
it's truly moody
how the clouds drip down
bitten by endless miles
i taste what's in front of me
it's tasting hated
i'm drinking it anyway
Bittersweet evermore

distant eyes,
i told you dont die
but you were too shy
i was...

The Builder
I’m a sweet heart-
Just forget about me.
If you’re so super smart,
Why don’t you see?
I’m about to leave.
Forget that I love you.
Building the wall, after all.
Still I stall.
All sprawled out, blue
Starved thoughts move
Impeachment day eyes
Would it be a lie
To assume you don’t care?
Doomed fear
It's the builder in the mirror.
Just forget about me.
If you’re so super smart,
Why don’t you see?
I’m about to leave.
Forget that I love you.
Building the wall, after all.
Still I stall.
All sprawled out, blue
Starved thoughts move
Impeachment day eyes
Would it be a lie
To assume you don’t care?
Doomed fear
It's the builder in the mirror.

sunny mourning
be it that the sun
warms my skin
photosythesis a kiss for my lips
blow wind for need
doomed forecast sees
my jagged past crash
i'll take off the take-off-cliff
hawk eyed-wild cried
fearless wings
jet black free
rise up, reprieve
my flower from seed
the bed that bleeds relief
delicate blossom opening
each petal
the sun shining
beautiful and blooming
warms my skin
photosythesis a kiss for my lips
blow wind for need
doomed forecast sees
my jagged past crash
i'll take off the take-off-cliff
hawk eyed-wild cried
fearless wings
jet black free
rise up, reprieve
my flower from seed
the bed that bleeds relief
delicate blossom opening
each petal
the sun shining
beautiful and blooming

Tomato Skin
Tomato skin, my skin
Hesitant, lets you in
Your thumbprint- a soft imprint
Staying, pulsating bravely
While my pain sang.
My chest, a drum to play a song on.
My heart hums along.
My body a clever blade of grass,
Still swaying and sweet.
Eyes starry in the trees.
Staring up at twinkling
Infinite forever whispering.
Harvest moon of twilight
Rolls over, naked with delight.
Your arms around my trunk
Pulling music from my blood
Solstice kiss my lips
Gentle stumbling fingertips
Love,...
Hesitant, lets you in
Your thumbprint- a soft imprint
Staying, pulsating bravely
While my pain sang.
My chest, a drum to play a song on.
My heart hums along.
My body a clever blade of grass,
Still swaying and sweet.
Eyes starry in the trees.
Staring up at twinkling
Infinite forever whispering.
Harvest moon of twilight
Rolls over, naked with delight.
Your arms around my trunk
Pulling music from my blood
Solstice kiss my lips
Gentle stumbling fingertips
Love,...
