You Reap What Your Sow, My Love
MANHATTAN UPPER EAST SIDE
740 Park Avenue
Manhattan, New York
Tristano’s Penthouse
Tristano sat at his dining room table. He was blasé from the daily ritual of surviving, and he detested himself for still craving the touch of Artesia’s hands on his body, to hear the passion in her voice when she speaks, and the feel of her tight pussy gloving his dick.
The yearning to locate her was driving him mentally insane.
His cell phone rang.
Tristano lifted his cell phone, slid it open, and placed it up to his ear. ...

Malady Of Decadence
Malady of decadence, narcissistic disposition
hysteria, perversion's melancholy a metaphor
for being old and losing touch with reality
speaking in feminization as an erotic poet
playing, "Forget-me-not" with a secondhand
posy to be remembered.

Tears from stone
I don't believe
I ever held any power
to hurt you.
That never stopped me trying.
Searching for your weaker seams,
telling you secrets that prove I don't care,
moving on and doing all I've done.
Yes, I meant to make you cry.
Parched
greedy
thirsty for those tears.
I'll never have to regret
causing your nightfall;
since you are dry and
immovable as stone,
it's simply
impossible.

Phoenix
What a stupid
fucking metaphor
It indicates you end;
burn alive,
and then rise
as a new creature.
So tidy.
But it indicates
you end.
Fuck that.
I’m crawling away
from the blast zone,
face covered in
tears and snot,
gasping through
the impermeable
thick, black
smoke.
My hands and
knees are shredded
from the forward
motion,
one hand,
one knee,
one hand
one knee;
not stopping for
broken glass,
twisted metal, ...

everything can become anything
when our culture can
manipulate us into not
believing the facts
of our 5 senses
that is when our minds
will become senseless

It's dark under the bridge.
I will meet you at the pillars.
The crowd will disappear.
Does not matter...
I only see your torch.
Burning for me.
A beacon that cannot be ignored.
Separate journeys often lead to the same place.
Father time offering a shaky foundation.
The steps are scary...
They creak and break.
The climb is hard, the fall is worse.
You will never make it with armor.
The weight is to much to bear.
Changing into a skirt and heels.
Also too much to bear sometimes.
But even Father time notices.
He told me to change. ...

Today
Oh what drab, colorless roils drape the sky
As the sky, ashen, grey faced the sun
Clouds billowing
Spread out as tho' to compass all
The sun, the moon, and stars do hide
Those lamps of heavens reaffirming light
Tho' not darkest all -
Not as dark as familiar men's souls
Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot
Not as men who on stout legs stand
Thin voices hiss the birthing of death
So discourse this discordant band
Full of hubris and cold...
As the sky, ashen, grey faced the sun

Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot

Thin voices hiss the birthing of death

3 years a stalker
Waiting, watching, preying, stalking.
You had me in your clutches
You had me in your trap
No matter which route I head
There’s no way getting back
Chasing, coursing, tracking, hunting.
You broke me just as you wished
You broke me beyond repair
However I try to fix this
Forever in your lair
Taunting, teasing, crushing, squeezing.
Wanted me all to yourself
Wanted me as your slave
Well you’ve chosen the wrong girl
I’ll never be yours babe
Grabbing, choking, screaming,...

Like a dog
You break an egg and there's nothing inside,
between lack of will and surprise
you decide to become a vegetarian and send
an ovo-lacto contempt for everyone.
Animal protein consumers
who might want to find something
inside the shell of an egg
and they think the watermelon's red
is good because it could be blood, but it's not!
Bloody-Mary at five o'clock
like a tea for an Englishman who says he knows
but he never goes there to confirm
and after others say they don't want to
go there and say it should have been...
