The Escape Velocity Of A Rorschach Sunset
I.
As the fiery half-eaten orb
melts farther into the mountains,
the heart shudders in astonished jolts.
A gilded feast of morphing shadows tempts
the pattern-hungry brain to arrange
dozens of weather-beaten points
into monstrous faces of jagged rock.
Vectoring like a maniacal dragonfly
the eyes construct (and deconstruct)
tensile bridges of silken meaning.
The shifting boundary of the rugged terrain
slips in and out of focus;
the cerebral cortex strains
like an under-powered microscope
scanning for a...

How The Heavens Grew When We Fell Into Each Other’s Eyes
Moonbeams dancing across the sky,
sweet dream romancing, a twinkle in your eye,
heads tilted at the sea of lights above,
words unspoken delighting like shooting stars,
the ocean of eternity nestled upon these yearning lips.
When the music jumps from constellation to constellation,
we ride this sensation of elation,
decorating the depths of night
with the way we throw our voices into the dark,
and we know all there is to know,
we go where it is we need to go,
furious kisses of now,
eyes igniting like luminous stardust, ...

Do I Tremble From The Cold, Or From The Turbulence Of Your Midnight Kiss
Beautiful dreamer,
you bring magic into my life,
and tears of joy fall from my eyes.
I am alone,
except for the steady rhythm of the rain,
but still you grace my heart
with your soulful presence.
I revel in the way you truly listen,
and I also drink in what I can,
however limited my earthly memory,
however large my desire to kiss and caress you.
Oh,
how long I have searched
for your intoxicating center.
As sleep blooms
I am made whole again,
and the night is tranquil,
and the night is...
you bring magic into my life,
and tears of joy fall from my eyes.
I am alone,
except for the steady rhythm of the rain,
but still you grace my heart
with your soulful presence.
I revel in the way you truly listen,
and I also drink in what I can,
however limited my earthly memory,
however large my desire to kiss and caress you.
Oh,
how long I have searched
for your intoxicating center.
As sleep blooms
I am made whole again,
and the night is tranquil,
and the night is...

Words Scribbled On The Back Pages Of A Novel While Waiting For A Train
I swallow the snake’s tail
I dine on the patterns of chaos
that emanate from each flicker
of the tongue.
Whisper death into my eyes,
dream hatred that sputters
like a dying flame;
moment of regret I incinerate you again,
again.
Light years in my eyes,
a bevy of desire outracing the sun,
a mixture of parting elements,
happiness departing my body like
plague vomited into the stars.
Strangle sprint spirit sin...

A Galactic Starburst In The Shape Of A Bullet
1.
I am a thin sliver of doubt
floating upon a sea of devastating tranquility.
Yet I dream with the velocity
of exploding stars.
2.
As planet Earth rotates at 1,000 miles per hour,
my mind twirls with dream-time possibilities;
like a ball on a string we simultaneously zoom
around a lemony sun at 66,000 miles per hour.
3.
Even when I try to cease these clock-tick movements
the chemistry of life churns onward as heartbeat by...

How To Lose An Argument With The Monsoon Sky
1.
on this blood blossoming highway
my heart is a steam engine barreling onward
as the sound of air
violently decompressing
floods the passing terrain
with the crimson wailing
of indelicate endings
2.
trapped under the wreckage
of her defunct smile
I met an angel with a bow
made of ancient bones
and poison-tipped arrows
imprinted with the double helix
as the black soot of...

my heart is a flame-dancer wandering along the distant riverside
1.
her feminine curves broadcast
ripe messages of conquest
and luxurious harmonics
delaying the reclamation
of the darkened silhouette
that haunts the boundaries
of my tattered cloak of isolation
2.
as stars gaze down into my eyes
the connections abound
light shines
in tremendously
tiny increments
the geometry suffocates
like the emaciated outline
of her sensual starlight smile
cleaved into the halted
black of night
3.
she presses a pair of hands against my ears ...

Home
The winter flower's bloom
erupts in fragrance
as your weariness cascades
and crumbles with each step closer
to the warmth of home
(which is simply any space
in the universe where
our hands meet
and our eyes say hello).
In truth,
I hold on to you tightest
in the moments
when we close ourselves off
from one another.
Even during floods of anger
I know that soon,
in the patient darkness,
only regenerating beauty
will spill from your night-sleeping eyes
to mine.

Articulated by Raising the Blade of the Tongue
1.
Nervous butterflies line my palms with coronal patterns:
silent, colorful eyes that erupt with the crunch and
scald of evolution.
2.
I set a trap of future lullabies and pet names
under your patiently restrained eyes
(which twitch and pause with the muscled power
of romantic possibility).
3.
The wisping curtain of our harmoniously whispered song
flows from the stringed instrument of our meeting eyelashes
and penetrates our concrete-carved defenses
with the sun-kissed beauty of our outstretched,
welcoming...
