sun in your eyes
Sun in your eyes
in the white sea of sun-bleached straws
I saw a crow struggle and drown
in the glare
I was given a chance to see and hear
intimately to know
an eddy of hot water hotter than lava
running down the drain
the Australian way
This was hell, escaped.
From the struggle of the past...Dancing
in obscene sexuality
I heard the raw laughter from the mouth
of a toothless whore
like gaping sores of syphilis
I also heard sweet music
In the evening
I was salvaged by a crow
in the white sea of sun-bleached straws
I saw a crow struggle and drown
in the glare
I was given a chance to see and hear
intimately to know
an eddy of hot water hotter than lava
running down the drain
the Australian way
This was hell, escaped.
From the struggle of the past...Dancing
in obscene sexuality
I heard the raw laughter from the mouth
of a toothless whore
like gaping sores of syphilis
I also heard sweet music
In the evening
I was salvaged by a crow

Discombobulated (thoughts of an insomniac)
the pen seems to be my only comfort lately. this drives me crazy. you were my comfort baby. now you’re some distant lady. you got my mind all hazy.
see we were all good just a week ago. Then flash. Like two worlds clashed. there was a new hoe. I know that seems rash but I don’t say that to be rude though.
I’m just in my feelings and paranoid as shit. the way you got me thinking has my mind all flipped. twisted, turnt, burned up, and hellbent. my mind is in the gutter and it can’t be dealt with.
there’s a ghost in my house and I think it’s from the demons you and my roomate...

Cold Tongue Of Twilight
When talcum is the cold tongue of twilight
the mirror of the soul's absolute chaos
of dark disharmony among the minions
narcissistic grape vines going to vinegar
listening to antiquated Sasquatch
the mother tongue of deception
trumpet it's lunacy using a stopwatch
listening to the shoe drop as old fools
run with the devil as their wheels fall off
when talcum is the cold tongue of twilight
the mirror of the soul's absolute chaos
of dark disharmony among the minions
narcissistic grape vines going to vinegar
listening to antiquated Sasquatch
the mother tongue of deception
trumpet it's lunacy using a stopwatch
listening to the shoe drop as old fools
run with the devil as their wheels fall off
when talcum is the cold tongue of twilight

how quelling, now, your dwelling
plucked-flower reaping song
“We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees,
yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid
when told they are loved.”—Brandi Snyder
how linden
in the garden,
resplendent in the cradle
of the wind,
the conversations
of bright, charming roses
and sweet forget-me-nots,
cut short by strident knife
in prime of life!
not knowing
where they’re going,
they huddle close to hear
the reaping song:
hasten to me,...

Fading Godiva
Held by the Kismet of fate
of pewtered shattered glass
dripping life's vanity
reflecting neon pale blue
in shadows of hypocrisy's
eventual fading Godiva
realizing, you're not
of maddening horehounds
grasping at the throat
no longer in the limelight
of pewtered shattered glass
dripping life's vanity
reflecting neon pale blue
in shadows of hypocrisy's
eventual fading Godiva
realizing, you're not

dark romance
solitude
has
left me
barely
breathing,
twisting me,
pressing me
into wine,
my debris
considered
and scattered
through
what was
a dark
romance,
i saw
nothing
when i
became
nothing,
until i
came up
for air.

Deceivers
Hit me with your worse
While I’m still going strong
Hit me with a love that’s a curse
When life just can’t go wrong
I’ll be there before you can text
Although my phone is never on
Telepathy is how I connect
These feelings are just that strong
And I, I will do, I will do
Everything to and for you
I will wrestle with death
Until he has nothing but good health
Drain you of ego and fill you with myself
Although I’m a thousand miles away, you’ll swear I never left
Destiny says it’s you for...

Realness .
I imagine my lips touching yours, just the slightest graze and my pulse shoots up . Tachycardia I think you could be bad for my heart . I am such a slow analytical shy version of a person but I am genuinely arrested by your impulsiveness and how you move gliding through the world effortlessly with a smile and eyes that beckon . I just stare at a man who doesn't even know who I am, too quiet to be acknowledged lost in an ocean of noise and waves and waste . And deep down all I crave is sereneness, and a touch of tranquility with less haste and squandering endorsed by calm still water and extra...

Tell Me
Tell me you love me
Even though it’s a lie
Tell me you’ll stay
Please don’t say goodbye
Tell me I’m worth it
Your time wasn’t wasted
Tell me I’m pretty
Without hesitation
Tell me my heart
Wasn’t shattered in vain
Tell me your sorry
Before you hurt me again
Even though it’s a lie
Tell me you’ll stay
Please don’t say goodbye
Tell me I’m worth it
Your time wasn’t wasted
Tell me I’m pretty
Without hesitation
Tell me my heart
Wasn’t shattered in vain
Tell me your sorry
Before you hurt me again

Hidden Hearts Unveiled
In a home where love once brightly shone,
A man named Mark felt deeply all alone,
Unhappiness had crept within his heart,
He sought to mend the wounds, to restart.
A dating app, a flicker of hope's embrace,
Mark ventured forth, a new, unknown space,
He sought a match, his perfect mate to find,
To heal the hurt, the ties that had unbind.
His wife, Emily, in shadows, shared his plight,
Both souls in search of love's sweet guiding light,
On "SoulMate" app, two profiles came to life,
In secret connections, they found...

Sin n Stir
I am shaken to my metaphorical core
Shaking in a place I never shook before
For evil intentions have invaded my gentle place
Disguised behind a well hidden face
When finally my fingers pulled back her lacy veil
I witnessed as my sacred heart went pale
All bleeding ceased as my poetry fell silent
When my muse took off her mask love became lament
How do you live within your peeling skin?
An inked face tattooed concealing all your sin
Laughing behind your hideously painted smile
With false confessions wrapped in veiled...
Shaking in a place I never shook before
For evil intentions have invaded my gentle place
Disguised behind a well hidden face
When finally my fingers pulled back her lacy veil
I witnessed as my sacred heart went pale
All bleeding ceased as my poetry fell silent
When my muse took off her mask love became lament
How do you live within your peeling skin?
An inked face tattooed concealing all your sin
Laughing behind your hideously painted smile
With false confessions wrapped in veiled...
