look away
It had to end.
After months of staring into a
mysterious pit,
my irises, seeing through, looking past,
could no longer bear to reflect the sight
of a
rotting
suburban wife.

Warrior & Princess
The dragon's haze
In reptile scales
Depicts gravity
Spinning my eyes
With sensual whirlwind
Taking my breath away
In fleshly wonder
To experience the fire
Of darkened fallout
Graven pits
Lest confession
Consequent disposition
A captivating commitment
Instant tempest perpetuity
That certainly dissapates
Along with time
The cravings of desire
To smoke and ashes
Rising in the air
Infinitely miniscule
Mystical and mythical
My golden quest
Purifying in...

Wedding Photographer and the Best Man
Marissa adjusted the lens on her camera, capturing the light as it streamed through the stained-glass windows of the cathedral, painting the wedding party in a kaleidoscope of colors. At 27, she had carved out a name for herself as a talented wedding photographer, her weekends filled with the promise of new unions and the hope of everlasting love—a hope that, for her, flickered and faded with each passing year.
Her relationships, much like the shutter of her camera, were quick and fleeting. She’d married young but divorced two years later. Since her divorce, love had touched her...

Wedding Belles
One of my wings, is badly bruised
Still unwell, and not amused
Sorry i couldn't make it your wedding
I'm still entangled, within my bedding
Can almost hear the wedding bells
At the wedding, of the lovely Ruth, and Michelle
I thought of flying there, on my Pegasus yesterday
But my Pegasus is on strike, he wants more hay
Then i saddled up a penguin, like a horse
But i ate it, as i was covered in chocolate of course!
I'll be there in spirit, and in heart
Sending you both happiness, with a Cupids' dart
Have a beautiful day, and a...

Love’s Rushing in…!
Traveling at 186,000 miles per second
is the light in the night from Lightning
which blasts the molecules of air apart
to create a vacuum most frightening
but it’s not heated air being pushed apart
that makes that clamorous din.
After Lightning has struck
and the vacuum collapses,
Thunder is the air rushing in.
And the X-chromosome lies waiting alive
in the female egg with grace
for the first sperm penetrating its membrane
bringing spark for a life to embrace.
If an X is first, it will be a girl.
If a Y, it’s a boy...
is the light in the night from Lightning
which blasts the molecules of air apart
to create a vacuum most frightening
but it’s not heated air being pushed apart
that makes that clamorous din.
After Lightning has struck
and the vacuum collapses,
Thunder is the air rushing in.
And the X-chromosome lies waiting alive
in the female egg with grace
for the first sperm penetrating its membrane
bringing spark for a life to embrace.
If an X is first, it will be a girl.
If a Y, it’s a boy...

Rekindling
Time drifts quickly,
Issuing desperation into the void.
A besom's stirring memory,
Ascends to the fore.
Reflection, stokes a flame,
That sparked long ago.
Yours, is a prod, that could ignite;
A flicker, that might engulf, into burning.
Do you recall?
Or is it mere imagination,
What almost was?
It's something I relive,
When warm winds, only arouse memories.
Memories, that invoke you,
& that cause me to think about rekindling, an old ember.
Issuing desperation into the void.
A besom's stirring memory,
Ascends to the fore.
Reflection, stokes a flame,
That sparked long ago.
Yours, is a prod, that could ignite;
A flicker, that might engulf, into burning.
Do you recall?
Or is it mere imagination,
What almost was?
It's something I relive,
When warm winds, only arouse memories.
Memories, that invoke you,
& that cause me to think about rekindling, an old ember.

Dimension XXX
Somewhere up in The Milky Way
a constellation waits for us,
in infra red, and in X-ray,
shot out by pulsar blunderbuss
so nebulae will stay in flux
to power Cupid's cosmic dart,
for an infinitude of fucks
and rapture in each other's heart.
And there we might forever stay
in neutron Yin, and proton Yang,
and gobs of space where we would play
as angels quenched by stellar Tang,
glittering, like a shooting star...
serving champaign and caviar.

when whore house was fun
When a whore house was fun
I sat down to write about flowers, those often
called weeds and grows on untended pavements
but another thought got in the way as I recalled
that flowers in a whore house are usually plastic
except for a chrysanthemum on
a painting on a wall of an artistic whore
I have had much fun in houses of ill-repute
it is not only sex but also laughter and dance
The girls liked young sailors and the possibility
of a steady relationship.
It did happen to a sailor coming home from Brazil
with a blushing bride,...

just rip it off already
she called me one night
outta nowhere
said she got my number from my aunt
{that's a whole other fucked up ball of wax right there}
& did I know how to reach him
she was desperate
any day now she was expecting
{...his...twins...}
not at all surprised
I sighed
listened to her tell how he'd tried to shoot her
shaking my head in disbelief
because even then...she stayed
abuse is a crushing iron fist

The Vow
love shown in caresses of gnarled hands
dried out from the spring of youth
skins worn like old Cashmere
that once as in love draped around
shoulders and ample bosom
hair grey highlighted with white
framed her sweet face once so pretty
love in honesty shone through his eyes
as he touched her face vowing eternal
the love of them together in a golden circle
dried out from the spring of youth
skins worn like old Cashmere
that once as in love draped around
shoulders and ample bosom
hair grey highlighted with white
framed her sweet face once so pretty
love in honesty shone through his eyes
as he touched her face vowing eternal
the love of them together in a golden circle
