Hold Me Like You Mean It
And so at last, you sleep,
in the circle of my arms
that push back the shadows so that you can rest vegetables, seaweed, herbs:
the foam of your dreams.
PABLO NERUDA
I once had a striker plate
where my chest is
so that whenever someone fell into my arms
they would ignite in pretty pictures
a bonfire to the throes of lust
the scent of sex and libertine-want hung about
me as if I was the perfume isle in the drug store
cloying and thick with the regret of
loneliness
and longing...
in the circle of my arms
that push back the shadows so that you can rest vegetables, seaweed, herbs:
the foam of your dreams.

She Made Me See What Real Loneliness Is
At first, I thought I was
okay with being alone.
But that was before I
saw her smiling and
saying "hi" to this guy.

While She's Looking At The Mirror
Caroline sees
herself looking
sexy in the blue
lace lingerie.

beauty in chaos
the roaring sky cried in joy
pearly droplets of tears,
the parched soil quickly
soaked up
every ounce of rain;
in between heavens and earth,
the wind ran berserk.
the clatter...the commotion
caused some stir-
a zealous acceptance
of the change of weather,
inspiring leaves to dance,
and trees to sway,
in intoxicating merriment
the flowers sprang
in a bountiful spray,
while animals and birds ...
pearly droplets of tears,
the parched soil quickly
soaked up
every ounce of rain;
in between heavens and earth,
the wind ran berserk.

We’re Here, f**k It, It’s Fine
We sit on the couch
the one you fucked up
the one I fucked you up on
your naked body pressed into mine
until the adrenaline, shock
and post coitus dopamine become more manageable
I hold your shivering body
knowing that I’m the net
that it means more than all the bravado
and dick swinging
that you need that soft space to land
because power suits and sweet-dagger-retorts
take their toll
sometime you need to be
you
trembling in that blushing hue
of...
the one you fucked up

Wailing Notes And The Quiet Beyond Them
I stretch in crisp air
it’s so sharp it burns
I’m here haunting the grove
sun cutting through trees
in an elegant arc of beautiful
I watch phone-screen-zombies
lurch through the cascade of light
hunkered against the glow
as if it alone provides warmth
locks on the case pop
the first note cries out
the sax’s curves as familiar
as walking
like sex beneath my
calloused fingers
I wait in the preternatural silence
drama in the scattered...
it’s so sharp it burns
I’m here haunting the grove
sun cutting through trees
in an elegant arc of beautiful
I watch phone-screen-zombies
lurch through the cascade of light
hunkered against the glow
as if it alone provides warmth
locks on the case pop
the first note cries out
the sax’s curves as familiar
as walking
like sex beneath my
calloused fingers
I wait in the preternatural silence

Let’s Take Each Other To Hell One Last Time
I’ve always had a way
with the petrified and scared
despite the way my body pulses
aposematic signals
from the scarred knuckles and hulking frame
to the frown lines etched into my face
and I wonder if it’s
because of a sympathetic-nervous-system response
reminiscent of the times I hid in a closet and read books
my small boy body discoloured in the hue
of the beating I took
adrenaline still pounding through my trembling flesh
or if it was because I didn’t care if I got hurt ...
with the petrified and scared
despite the way my body pulses
aposematic signals
from the scarred knuckles and hulking frame
to the frown lines etched into my face
and I wonder if it’s

my small boy body discoloured in the hue

That Was Then. This Is Now.
At first, nobody liked Betty.
She was nothing more than a nerd.
But that was high school.
We saw her at Roger's bachelor party.
She looked so hot in that dress.

He Spotted Elizabeth Nude Sunbathing
David walked on the beach.
That's before he spotted Elizabeth nude sunbathing.
Then, the tide came in.
That made Elizabeth look up at David.
She stood and pulled his shorts down.

I gave you my love
Not exactly sure what you did with it
Couple of empty vodka bottles in the trash
You're still looking good for the camera
Back story
Star power
Salty tears
Hard work
You're like a stock I'm holding through losses
The minute I sell it, it goes up
Holding on
It's what we did before the fame
Innocence
Determination
No Botox baby
Couple of empty vodka bottles in the trash
You're still looking good for the camera

You're like a stock I'm holding through losses

It's what we did before the fame

Stand Tall
The giraffe, guardian of my spark,
stands tall, silent sentinel.
Guardian spirit, infinite vision,
its calm presence my soul dwells.
Its gaze sweeps across the broad horizon,
as if seeing beyond the passing of time.
With graceful steps, she walks firmly,
bringing serenity that aligns me.
Our hearts beat in harmony,
gentle strength in eternal vigil.
Neck that touches stars and ground.
Unites the worlds in full communion.
I am happy to harbor such charm
and in its shadow I find my cloak.
My soul, which...
stands tall, silent sentinel.
Guardian spirit, infinite vision,
its calm presence my soul dwells.
Its gaze sweeps across the broad horizon,
as if seeing beyond the passing of time.
With graceful steps, she walks firmly,
bringing serenity that aligns me.
Our hearts beat in harmony,
gentle strength in eternal vigil.
Neck that touches stars and ground.
Unites the worlds in full communion.
I am happy to harbor such charm
and in its shadow I find my cloak.
My soul, which...
