Devastatingly beautiful effects of love's dark endurance...
My answers come in hushed oblivion
tenderness teases away
those small traces of terror
lips part lips
warm bodies press
into permanent evanescence
Admiring such rich landscapes
imprinting these single moments
to cosmic memory
I harvest the meaning of your
unlimited bounty
Fantasty swirls consecrated air
realities explode
into scattered mosaics
broken by spacial distance,
where conceptual time cradles
then seals
everything lovingly reaped
as a forever...

The forger
The forger stopped by a garage sale
Looked around, could not believe his luck
As a magnificent painting by a little known master he found.
A geat deal for the few hundred bucks of his own money recently printed he paid.
All smiles, proud of his steal it is with a gait in his step
That he went back to his car, the precious gift for his beloved under the arm.
A gift she was so happy to receive, she gleamed, dollar signs in her eyes,
As she took the Masterpiece to the appraiser
Who took precious time with magnifying glass the signature to...

Dear Diary,
I’m a grown woman with the mental age of a twelve year old tween.
I’ve started reading and writing poetry. Dont ask. I don’t know why? Kind of wish I was better at it. There are a shit ton of people on here who know what they’re doing. I’m not one of them.
I ate my weight in cookies today because I was mad. Super mature decision. I’m sure I’ll throw them up later.
I’m working over time to present the world a nice version of me. Epic. Fail. I want a drink and I wish I smoked. But that’s dumb I’d just end up with a headache and stinky breath....

This Soulless Metropolis
Ups and downs
Cities and towns
Smiles and frowns
Kings and clowns
..
As the main doors are flung
Wide,
To release the mass of
Screaming children,
The sun was in my
Eyes,
Which blinded me
To his approach
And I didn’t
Know,
I was leaving school,
To be kidnapped
My smiles were bright,
My spirits as eager
To take
Flight,
As the rest
Of these
Innocents
He had a layer of greasy
Unease
Upon his skin,
Which was taut,

Porcelain Smiles
She sat amongst her collection
of dolls with porcelain smiles
Tightened bows on their dresses
and brushing hair, of various styles...
Ribbons from her hair made a sash for one
threads from her hem to stitch up some
She sung in whispers, to her silent children
kissing their cheeks as she slowly rebuilt them
Molly her favorite, with a missing hand
lost in a war with her brother gone mad
This one she cradled just a bit longer
as it seemed to cling, a tiny bit stronger
No other had a crack, though many the miles ...

Broken Heart
She broke my heart
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!

Android Dreams of Electric Letters
A champagne pain painted the sky
In the opening of my eye, the dawn.
Electricity surged through my circuitry
Coming alive in my conception of the sun.
I did not understand.
I began to move, inspecting my hand
A buzzing sound vibrated in my being,
Information flooded with a demand
To comprehend, what I was seeing.
To understand what is seeing.
I knew I was being, but knew not, what is being,
Looking again to the sun, which vibrated
Rose orange, pulsated, my system awakening,
Some strange energetic force...
In the opening of my eye, the dawn.

To comprehend, what I was seeing.

I knew I was being, but knew not, what is being,
Looking again to the sun, which vibrated
Rose orange, pulsated, my system awakening,

I enjoy a subtle treat,
But no glazed donuts for me
Since with an overwhelming sweet
My troubled guts will disagree,
By buds if taste too fairly warned,
To avoid at any cost,
Or be much less sugar adorned
Like cereal without the frost!
And think as well about your teeth
Or acrid candy aftertaste
Whereto the tongue, it will bequeath,
A wish for brush and minty paste
That gives all our corrupted breath
A balm forestalling oral death.
But no glazed donuts for me
Since with an overwhelming sweet
My troubled guts will disagree,
By buds if taste too fairly warned,

Or be much less sugar adorned

And think as well about your teeth
Or acrid candy aftertaste
Whereto the tongue, it will bequeath,
A wish for brush and minty paste
That gives all our corrupted breath
A balm forestalling oral death.

She works until midnight
She works until midnight tonight –
The sentence makes me pause as I remember,
once upon a time…
Midnight was the hour when the party got going,
when liquified dancing took over my mind
and I couldn’t even imagine her;
Because that was way before her time.
Later, midnight was the hour
of waking up groggy
for feeding and rocking
and burping and changing,
thinking the tiredness would never end;
But that was before her childhood.
Then, midnight became the hour
for one last check on the sleeping cherub -

Abeyant
beneath the shaded underside
of a sweet bone-white moon
when the dusk hour said for a
brief period you were mine
my soul stirred once more
from its nighttime slumber
and like the voice of soft water
I could hear the angels sing
the glow of love had been
exhumed from the darkness
soft birdsong was a lullaby
as joy surrendered to echoes
until sorrow’s petals opened
the mist of absence roused
and now I am left in the
ensuing silence to drown
of a sweet bone-white moon
when the dusk hour said for a
brief period you were mine
my soul stirred once more
from its nighttime slumber
and like the voice of soft water
I could hear the angels sing
the glow of love had been
exhumed from the darkness
soft birdsong was a lullaby
as joy surrendered to echoes
until sorrow’s petals opened
the mist of absence roused
and now I am left in the
ensuing silence to drown

true and deep
moonlight
a well honed
blade that cuts
true and deep
when laying in
bed alone all
these years
and love
a strangers
face never
glimpsed
while walking
hurriedly home
through a
downpour
of rain
a well honed
blade that cuts
true and deep
when laying in
bed alone all
these years
and love
a strangers
face never
glimpsed
while walking
hurriedly home
through a
downpour
of rain
