For Her
My heart hasn’t beat
Since that fatal defeat
The day I walked the line
By one poison kiss
I graced the beating abyss
A labyrinthine trap designed
To make my blood cold
The terror untold
By star-shine it was disguised
Treachery unmasked
Too little too late
My Judas, I bid you goodbye
Since that fatal defeat
The day I walked the line
By one poison kiss
I graced the beating abyss
A labyrinthine trap designed
To make my blood cold
The terror untold
By star-shine it was disguised
Treachery unmasked
Too little too late
My Judas, I bid you goodbye

L.I.E. (Loyalty Is Everything)
Loyalty is everything & the only thing that matters
Anything less than that is just unnecessary chatter
Rather have one's loyalty than claims of loving me
History's shown the love word is used too loosely
It's a deceivingly clever way of putting blinders on
While secretly having plans of Children of The Corn
Spewing scorning words to the herds that'll follow
Those consuming it, chewing it up & then swallow
Making my heart hollow to the point of no return
There's lessons in blessings is what I've discerned
I've...

Once Upon A Heart-Ache.
Our fairy-tales haven't quite been like the rest.
But you've always been cast my make-shift king.
With a tongue coated in pure gold; I loved it when you'd lie to me.
Tell me all your riches were mine alone, for the taking.
When did your perfectly penned paragraphs stop bleeding my story?
Right around the time you buried my kingdom; deep between the thighs of peasants.
They were all true Princess's in need of saving...
But you forgot, I'm the fucking Queen.
I promise I'll go easy on them; won't tell them your darkest secrets, if you keep...

K Varf
come take my innocence
and make me wise
inject me with your black essence
dispatch the little hope
in my presence
and burn it with my dream not redeemed
drive your blade to the grains
that sliver down in my veins
to your hour glass
do it once everyday
and twice on Sundays
please if you may
for I know of no other pain like you gift
that fills me alive
with your tides and rift
race the thoughts
of my worth as I brace
for the break
and when I rip in two
make...

Little Red Lying Hood.
What's the matter, little Red?
Have you grown tired of hauling your scarlet burden;
through the vastness of his forest?
You never thought he'd stick around long enough,
to see what was kept in your basket?
Too bad it simply held lies and betrayal.
Grandmother wouldn't be so proud...
Good thing she's been dead to you for some time now,
and you took over her name in irony.
Innocence can be the only true fairy-tale,
but some still believe in magic.
So you mask your basket in a crimson cloak.
You may have a heavy...

Bonne Nuit
You tell me all thats left of me is speeches,
and they always end the same way.
Blame... blame... the victim game.
So maybe I did use you for comfort,
but then why's my bed so cold?
And all you can offer is this blanket of regret.
At least you're sure to wrap me up tightly,
before feeding me your somber bedtime stories.
You know I was always better at midnight fables.
And I can see you're exhausted at the thought.
Your yawns are growing louder by the minute;
drowning my apologies into the darkness.

Wanderess
You can feel the pins pierced into your ribcage again.
One by one; and you ached for him.
Just one word and you'd pray for him.
Your heart was so pure; untouched by reality and believed in magic.
A beautiful glass treasure kept cautiously on display.
And he wanted it.
A heart full of gold, but a head full of chaos.
His crystalline stare begged you to take control.
But you couldn't be his savior.
He spread over you like a plague; infected.
Everything but his blood's been inside of you.
And you'd have taken that...
One by one; and you ached for him.

Deception and it's Ally, Optimism
Bet most of you see
a better world
than the one that
really exists
It took my own seed
to teach me that
We're all sheltered
in our minds
Never suspect your own
children
It's the Pollyanna creed
"You will only sow the creature
of your own suspicion's seed"

The Ways of a Black Heart
( prose poetry )
Why have you cowered for so long? Leniency reigned through his tender years, it’s all he’s ever known, you can’t blame him.
Yet now you call upon an army, to bring reason down to bear, and also raise up, to wake up! But it’s not meant to happen that way and that’s why it never does. A half-hearted intervention.
You and his father think that outsiders alone will and should pick up your mess? To lay down the law to a boy who you’ve instilled in him a sense of privilege - of entitlement?
Who does that and still tells...

red fingernail polish
you painted my soul with red fingernail polish
you got from a gumball machine for five cents
a cheap garish red
bright and noisy
because my quiet days spoke too loudly to you
in fact they scream
you run with a whore off I 82
scoring thrill by the minute
I wasn't like her
my reserve made your blood run cold
your betrayal made mine boil
you took our relationship off the fire
still, I simmered
big smoky plumes of denial fill the air around us
I deny my anger
you cover yours

Homeless
What is a "homeless boy?"
Serious question
for a serious pen
Is a homeless boy
one who insists on
jumping
out into his sister's
home and then
into another
But estranged
sister's home
refusing to go
to live with
either
of the two
provided options....
but now being called
"homeless"
a horrific reframe
