Early Memory ( after Sharon Olds )
Imprint—a bridge, and someone—
an Aunt, squeezing my hand;
wobbly-walk, trees after rain
infused light of branch and leaves—
sound but not sight, water
moving underward, echo—
muffled voices—human and animal
heat solidified on skin, humidity
beading necklaces, lace and dirt—
after-rain muddiness drying in sun;
imprint, footfall of a paw, fossilized
now long gone, having moved on
leaving its mark on the world —
history in hours,...

Vampires Request
Sleep, dearest creature of the night, you who adores the shining moon, I said to myself as the music began to echo through the room
A necrophilia blood sucking devil, gifted black demonic wings alike a bat when it flies, strength beyond reason and a tongue full of sick lies,
Yet a ray of sun may be lethal to you, burning you away as if you were paper caught in a
Firestorm of inferno of heat, vaporized at last,
Life force relies in blood, impurities of constant change I need since I have already passed away theoretically...

A STIMULATION OF YOUR THOUGHTS
From my mind I remember how life use to be back in the days but right before my mind eyes life changed with the times for no longer is there true honor and respect no longer is your word your bond as your words no longer hold any weight, for it all has change for the worse for now we have gotten so wrapped up in this computer world that some of us no longer pick up the phone and call and chat with someone which has been replace by texts and emails even when we break up in our relationships for social media has become the new play ground for some adults. ...

Presently ....
sometimes she looks back
trying to find her old self
that garnered strength from within
before life and what she thought
was love started tearing her asunder
over and over
how she always seemed to be
surrounded by those who demanded
things from her
time, love, money, patience, always
expecting her to fill their cups
ridiculing her if she didn't
she had to tear herself away from
all of that
self preservation had become
her only friend
she lost a lot in the separating
she is...

Without limits
Destination unknown, but I am going to a place I call home.
It’s far away beyond the stars, beyond the lights and noise of cars.
Flying through the universe, thinking fast,
No handbrake on, welcoming death as a matter of fact.
After drinking to feed my thirst;
This is no time for stopping or reverse.
The track is set; I am on my way,
To seeing the edge of all that came
And all that which passed across my eyes.
I have seen it all so I have no goodbyes.
To all I left behind to cry, I wish you well; but all things die,
And in...

slow dance.
We, the individuals
waltz in a rhythm to music
only our own ears
pluck up to hear.

Adam (Tree Of Life)
Tree of wine in
passion's early glare,
not forthcoming of dawn,
engorges fevered veins.
The coolness waits
among seedless worries,
in sorrow's early light,
beam of the Moon's flight.
Adam, dreaming,
sees a child aloft
piercing the apple of his cheek
where the woman groans.
She, in morning's blood
soaks the sweet clay
under the tree of life,
burning in the mists of day.

Shipwrecked Soul
Ahoy! There she is!
In formal times, gracefully gliding across the glassy sea;
her figure so stout and proud.
On a voyage (life’s journey) so resolute, unwavering
against the coming storms (challenges)
and serpents (assholes) of the deep blue sea (the world).
Her sails swelled by the gift of wind,
carrying her body so peacefully
to a coming doom (death).
There in that moment, she was,
a silhouette
in the burning backdrop of the far off,
dusking horizon (future).
No other words to describe it....

Seduced, I Fold the Known
Seduced, I Fold the Known;
Showering the bleeding moments
To allow the Soul to dance
Delighted
Devoured
carefully caressed
to uphold the unfolding Unknown
To notice a moment of such a wonder,
sometimes passed in silence
where ghost-like bodies melt into skin;
footprints are evident to Existence,
shadow-filled heartbeats pound Times into Lifetimes
for a split Forever shared
It's dreamlike and lust filled
when worlds are weaved into a star-like parlor;
Breathing Heaven empty of Angels,
Licking words upon...

KARMA
Shoot and be shot at,
ignore and be ignored.
In this life,
such is the rythme.
Curse and be cursed,
love and be loved.
When you find the rythme,
you'll realize.
Life is short
and what goes around,
comes back around.
simply karma
ignore and be ignored.

Butterfly
Sweet butterfly, what have you to wear,
catering yourself a set of beautiful wings,
wings that will travel upon singing breezes
as you dance among the blooming flowers,
serene and intense in liberty
so free to gather and roam,
joy awaits you through your loving tenderness
and graceful charm, in wonder and surprise
caressing the sweetness with your wish,
open up the banquet, spread wide
drinking from brightened wells,
catering yourself a set of beautiful wings,
wings that will travel upon singing breezes
as you dance among the blooming flowers,
serene and intense in liberty
so free to gather and roam,
joy awaits you through your loving tenderness
and graceful charm, in wonder and surprise
caressing the sweetness with your wish,
open up the banquet, spread wide
drinking from brightened wells,
