An unintended treasure
Weathered by lifetimes
long ago stripped of retro sheen
that character though...
never quite goes out of style
60's burnt-sienna swagger
Well loved, used and so worn in.
Memories fleck and mark cider stains
chipped fingerprints
deep milky welts-
absent minded watermarks
forge sigil shadows upon real wood
The type of craftsmanship and function
where old souls remind,
"They don't build them like that anymore"
Passed generation to generation,
blood to blood ...
long ago stripped of retro sheen
that character though...
never quite goes out of style
60's burnt-sienna swagger
Well loved, used and so worn in.
Memories fleck and mark cider stains
chipped fingerprints
deep milky welts-
absent minded watermarks
forge sigil shadows upon real wood
The type of craftsmanship and function
where old souls remind,
"They don't build them like that anymore"
Passed generation to generation,
blood to blood ...

Comfort
In a range of colors as far as my I can see
The carotene seems to be filled with light energy
Because somewhere in between this red and yellow
I always found that this hue was kind of mellow
Perhaps it was because I had a special blankie
Otherwise I’d wake up feeling kind of cranky
Although the color had faded over the years
To me it felt as bright and fresh with cheer
I was eight and there was just something about it
I remember never really going to sleep without it
It reminded me of my family in younger days
Like bright...

Enigma
Bound by blood, I find
workings of your thoughts and mind
unfathomable.
workings of your thoughts and mind
unfathomable.

Still No Beige
Gave these colors a home
Not my usual go to
Came out pretty
Even good
There was even a flesh hue
Mixed and given placement
No longer an orphan
There's always a way in abstraction
Not my usual go to
Came out pretty
Even good
There was even a flesh hue
Mixed and given placement
No longer an orphan
There's always a way in abstraction

bear, bear
the thief of always stole my heart
placed a part of my soul in the body of a pup
I didn't know a piece of me was missing
until he cuddled into me and gazed at me adoringly
his personality perfectly picked by the universes
a sweet disposition full of fire
I loved him from the beginning
I laugh because his traits are so like my own
strong willed and stubborn but tempered with love
he walks me everyday
and shows he's paying attention
he's a stern master in obedience training
he leads the way as a natural dominant
I'm...

Light
U have a job
U don't cash your check
At the end of the work week
Muh coming with respect
Cause run shit she didn't
Teach u to go and eat
When them brass knucks hit
U will have not seen a 3foot5 1 year baby
U don't cash your check
At the end of the work week
Muh coming with respect
Cause run shit she didn't
Teach u to go and eat
When them brass knucks hit
U will have not seen a 3foot5 1 year baby

Rose Gold Love
You've got that shine
A star's flame
Waited for you for
Such a long time
Feeling for you
Inside my mind's sky
Now you're finally mine
Sent by the Alchemist from up above
Feeling like Rose Gold cause I'm in love
This metal fits me like a glove
Feeling like Rose Gold cause I'm in love
It's no longer just
You and me
Inside I got
Another heartbeat
Left me stretch mark scars
Shaped just like hearts
Permanent reminder
We'll never be apart
Sent...
A star's flame
Waited for you for
Such a long time

Now you're finally mine

Feeling like Rose Gold cause I'm in love
This metal fits me like a glove
Feeling like Rose Gold cause I'm in love
It's no longer just
You and me
Inside I got

Left me stretch mark scars
Shaped just like hearts

DYNASTY FOUNDING
You need no hounding.
With arms arounding,
get yourself pounding
into my grounding,
dynasty founding,
till I am sounding
in moans abounding
and words astounding.

MY SPIRITUAL DAUGHTER
They say that through time and patience is where we learn to adjust, to the many things that will alter our lives to living in humanity whether alone or with someone. For it is through those we love and those we lost or those who have come across our paths, whether it's for an season or for an reason of change that we experience the feelings and deepness and emotions of what, true love feels like and looks like through our own eyes sometimes even through the eyes of the children's. Yet sometimes beneath the surface it can stimulate your subconsciousness, and awareness of a real and rare kind...

Her
You brought life, then stopped
Unspoken, broken, distress
Another mistake
Repercussions none
Unwanted, left behind, blue
Needed more than could give
Just a toy, didn’t want
Was never going to play with
Expectations gone
Grown up without chance
Cast aside at all times
Sensitive to none
Found illness inside
Thunderous times abound
Put ignorance there
Must begin my own path
Without toxicity and pain
Slowly fade away
Move forward in time
Show the world what I can be ...
Unspoken, broken, distress

Found illness inside
Thunderous times abound

Without toxicity and pain
Slowly fade away
Move forward in time
