Turning The Universe Inside Out With The Ravenousness Of Our Aching Hearts
1.
The rivulets of water
pool at our wondering feet.
Vibrant moss cushions the dark event horizons
that unceremoniously yank us inward
like lost children finally found.
Haphazard flight paths of insects
spasmodically surge nearer,
urging our own hands and eyes to react,
and somehow in the reflexiveness
of those twin human movements
both of us realize that the Now
we currently share cannot surpass
the devastating chasm that the earthquake of Us
has inevitably opened up.
Azure firelight flickers...

A Fleeting Moment Of Shifting Perspective, Glance Of Insects, Birth Of Suns
1.
drooping animal eyes made of
wildfire
forested heartbeats
spun into magma seas
of future regeneration
carbon crisis kindling
awaiting
extinguish me
with the balled-fist
of the angry present
2.
awakened
morning dewdrop
universe
surrounding us
pillars of infant dust
coalescing
sweet starlight kisses
arcing over the meadow
as we race into
the smoky twilight
barefooted
and aware

Lovesong For The Sick And Disturbed
hearts dangled over
the abyss
perishing flames
of disconnection
ripened
in a primate's reticent eyes
hungry ticks
of the clock
stalking shadow
length of day
creeping across the blooming flowers
which lean so desperately toward the striking sun
yet
for all the scintillation
reality is bound up
in ravenous restraints
binding all those
that traipse upon this planet
of rock and water
I
the outcast
am
unshackled ...

Freestyle Poem, to Agonoize – Open The Gate
Infinite energy
unbounded
spirit of chaos
gnawing on charred
bones
Dynamite eyes
bleed into the endless horizon
thunderstrike oblivion
cut me open
into human pieces
rainbowed arcs
lancing across a trillion
alien skies
joy magnified
dancing like fireflies
in the darkness
no fear
no...

25000 Light Years From The Galactic Center, Something Stirs In The Darkness
verticality
of towering evergreens
cradled inside
a teardrop
this is what my eyes
endure
pulling the half moon
closer
fingers digging
out ancient caverns
patient eons
punctuated by meteors
damage inflicted
explosive emptiness
oddly recomposing
with infinite spidery quantum worldlines
billions of eyes
absorbing pale reflections
of the sun
each mind a single silken vector
sipping from the devouring lava
of present...

I Am The Rock Hunter, Burying Myself In The Elegant Carbon Of Discovery
1.
A scream
battering the darkness
a hopeful kite
loosed from gloved hands
hiding burnt skin
inside vocal emanations
2.
sung songs strike meteorite heavy
against the plural skies
mind
meandering
a Martian lodestone
forged then ejected into space
asteroid ferociousness
vectoring
fully ripened anger of gravity
unleashed
sent on a million year journey
destined to eventually rest for intricate moments
in the astonished palm...

bright shine, rubescent starkiss
lips caressing,
photon moon
backwards splash,
wildflowers bloom
touching,
sharing sky
focused breaths
lining furtive clouds
with hope
ever expanding
horizons
teaching truthful

universal students
unmasked
bodies lusciously
embracing

dawn reincarnates

Oxygen Is The Flame Of Life And We Are Charcoal Wanderers Lifted Upon The Cosmic Winds Of Combustion
1.
supersized life
lumbering
prehistoric monsters
traipsing through
ferocious forest and foliage
gulping
bountiful O2
the chemistry of more
evolving colossal muscles
the architecture
of domination
pressed thinly
into the pages
of the past
like gaudy giant wildflower
blooms
bold and brilliant
as the regal sun
streaming towards
the sky like high cliff waterfalls
the stunning insects
buzzing or flapping or crawling ...

Optical Transmission Spectroscopy Of A Non-Terrestrial Exoplanet
shine pink skies
scent of gardenia
another world
flourishing
terrace triple moon
with snowy castle peaks
flowers silvery in waves
curling like burnt angry diamonds
molten born
amidst
her naked creation,
hair purple entwined
body blossoms
lustrous and star dancing
cello stardust melting the corners of our eyes
with the tallow of emotion
resin rainbow
coaxed recesses
innumerable cells
flourishing mosaic
golden winged fruit
the moment...

Despite Being Stranded In Another Solar System, She Still Tastes Like Three Shades Of Gray
1.
scintillating sleek skyscrapers
lining the horizon
and I am hungry
like a car low on fuel
burn the palm trees
in effigy
what do you give
the man who has everything
how do you speak
in a language of blackened halos
sometimes the only thing
that remains to do
is pressing down the accelerator
and yelling
like no one can hear you
2.
