A night in county lockup after f**king on the kale display
I bummed a vape
pen that Jenny
had stashed in her
bra and waited for
someone to post bail
I grinned at the list of
charges read that morning:
Assault
Battery
Indecent exposure
Lewd and lascivious behavior
on a Whole Foods
kale display,
I handed the vape back
to Penny.
Jenny?
Whatever.
The chick
in here with me.
She got drunk
and peed in public.
Me.
I was sober.
First time all week.
When you played
jump rope...

Mother
In that house
I see trivial wares in frivolous places
Piles of desires cluttering spaces
Overfilled closets of uncharted dreams
Decaying on the hearth, my shattered esteem
In that house
The emptiness endured; the hollow pride
Unfurnished wisdom; the devil’s chide
Your loathing of me was all to scathing
In your diffidence, I am bathing
In that house
The spoils of childhood wearing too thin
Unhandsome depravity of counterfeit...
I see trivial wares in frivolous places

Overfilled closets of uncharted dreams
Decaying on the hearth, my shattered esteem

In your diffidence, I am bathing

Why are traumas so hard to expel?
Its very easy to be consumed with an unforgiving energy, it is like a rare fruit, one that you know you're allergic to but instead you keep thinking how sweet it is going down into your stomach. But, whenever it's there it stays there, you start gaining weight that won't move until it's all cried out. Fighting hurt with hurt never amounts to anything substantial because 50% of nothing is still nothing.
I've been carrying around this hurt from the first year of this marriage and I keep searching for a reason to believe or trust his “I love you”. 2019 was the worst year in all my 31...

you are all i ever wanted.
There is one lyric in a song I've been listening to nonstop that is so simple, but it sums up my feelings for you perfectly:
"All I want to do is to be with you."
Of course, it's natural that one who loves another would want to be with that person. But, it's all about context, right?
For instance,
Do you know how painful it is to see you laugh and smile so easily with another girl?
Do you know how hard I try to make excuses just to talk to you alone?
Do you know how much I long to sit close to you...

Love Me At Your Own Risk
Sometimes it takes a real person to say how you feel
I think about you all the time
you know that it's real
I say I'm ready for love
Hoping it don’t kill
me in the long run
I’m just trying to heal
But before I get my chance to change
I just wanna let you know that I'm the one to blame
If I was a saint then i'd be ashamed
I got a heart but that's just a waste
And I'm not afraid of the heartbreak
I just don’t know how much my heart can take
I was blinded by your love and that was my mistake
Took me awhile but now im...

Real women vs. Hoes
Real women is what men want
real women don't put up a front
real women don't flaunt
rea women do things and don't believe in don't
real women isn't afraid to speak their mind
real women don't be mean, they're more kind
real women get overlooked because they don't put out
real women is what a woman is all about
real women don't take no one's crap
real women take charge, like if their men cheating, its a wrap
real women are a diamond in the ruff, not a cubic zirconia
real women walk with confidence
real women can hold a conversation...
real women don't put up a front
real women don't flaunt
rea women do things and don't believe in don't
real women isn't afraid to speak their mind
real women don't be mean, they're more kind
real women get overlooked because they don't put out
real women is what a woman is all about
real women don't take no one's crap
real women take charge, like if their men cheating, its a wrap
real women are a diamond in the ruff, not a cubic zirconia
real women walk with confidence
real women can hold a conversation...

The Apology
I wrapped myself in melancholy, as I wore a mental hue a shade of red. A faded red rose petal plucked from the garden of young love. I keep it pressed next to my heart as a memorial of what once was; a tangible metaphor of a dove...loves sacred animal, soaring high within the catacombs of my psyche sitting under starless skies skating on the edge of a crimson red razor blade balancing between reality and fiction wondering if you just loved me or were truly in love with me is my daily affliction.
I often reach deep within my soul to collect the scattered and sharp pieces of you that I...

A Shattered past
I feel I’m at war here.
.
Cannot find a sheltered place.
.
I know that you crave more in this.
.
But we're so many stars away.
~~~~~~
|Fuck|!!! q:^(>…IT!!!
~~~~~~
————————————————————————
I offered this heart
With all the steel to peel.
These wounds so quickly revealed.
How am I to ever heal for real.
When this godamn pain has congealed.
A wish to start this from the start.
Before we tore it all apart.
We will always be.
A shattered past in the dark.
...

Replacing Pictures
Images that you placed up and swore that they were you
Sweet fucking messages sent back and forth swearing that they were true
Me telling you what I fucking needed and you lying about what you would do
Please be honest, lies were told on both sides, all you wanted was me coming through
The poetry you swore was and you imagined it was all about yourself
You know that I've lost so much, but you will settle for whatever's left
Secrets were shared, things so fucking deep family and friend didn't even know
But you was not being satiated, you needed so much...
Sweet fucking messages sent back and forth swearing that they were true
Me telling you what I fucking needed and you lying about what you would do
Please be honest, lies were told on both sides, all you wanted was me coming through

You know that I've lost so much, but you will settle for whatever's left

The insipid nature of a lesser poet.
There's softness to the edges
where battered bruises swell
stagnation wreaks of havoc
as bitterness shows it's tell
Fraught of curious cruelties
left strewn all laissez-faire
piercing blistered lashes
wielded sans a thought or care
Cloaked of cursed shadows
casting lines to widely catch
hooking hatred with barbed wire
smallness knowing it's outmatched
Bile sowing discord
becomes urgent breath to bate
sounding off in tempered tantrums
only ends in your own sealed fate
...

solivagant ~
ever…solivagant…
i dwell in the depths of my dream realm.
perhaps, in my past paths, too many were
given a key —
to unlock secrets of my heart, mind, my soul.
slowly, my steps are longer…
faster than before…
above is below,
below is above.
away,
away.
can you hear the echoes of my footprints --
imprinted upon the decaying lavender-moss;
getting louder?
can you feel my ravaged heart-beat,
becoming stronger?
the ruby-blood rushing through my pale, ...

Curtain Call
And so the time has come
to abandon the world of imagination
such a comforting to place to reside
but also that crutch
that keeps one from moving among the living
The revelations arrive
all at once
when the universe
taps you on the shoulder
giving that push
to bravely take that step
into something unfamiliar
maybe even frightening
to a degree
I have lived to survive
for much of my adult life,
meaning little luxuries
and mostly hard work
to keep nourished and sheltered
I have not...
