Cloud Kiss
Take my hand
I know this place
eternal peace for me
the clouds in our beautiful sky
Tis fun at first
hand in hand
jumping from one to another
giggling even
Like landing in a bowl of marshmallows
bite one, youll experience all there is
the innocent sweetness
pure bliss
With our hands entwined as one
feeling this softness together
the purity of what we feel
like the whisper of a stolen kiss
I know this place
eternal peace for me
the clouds in our beautiful sky
Tis fun at first
hand in hand
jumping from one to another
giggling even
Like landing in a bowl of marshmallows
bite one, youll experience all there is
the innocent sweetness
pure bliss
With our hands entwined as one
feeling this softness together
the purity of what we feel
like the whisper of a stolen kiss

Anxious Poetics
Spun of sugared fables and salted truths
I can easily fall prey to Anxiety's
penitent thoughts.
Watching monochrome yesterday's
and the million tomorrow's
that already haunt.
Feeding Melancholy laughter and smiles
in avoidance of cursed uncertainty
to be Apathy's pitiful child.
Becoming Happy's pretty 'lil liar
while living on stale breaths of courage
'til the taut corset of butterflies flee.
I can easily fall prey to Anxiety's
penitent thoughts.
Watching monochrome yesterday's
and the million tomorrow's

Feeding Melancholy laughter and smiles
in avoidance of cursed uncertainty
to be Apathy's pitiful child.
Becoming Happy's pretty 'lil liar
while living on stale breaths of courage
'til the taut corset of butterflies flee.

Still Life
If we broke it down
into palatable pieces
I’d of said something
about Jackson Pollock
and the colour of blood
how I’d never seen red
roll down glass outside
of movies.
Perhaps there’d be
the part where your spit
hit a cheek. How it burned
with the fury of lava—
this skin, a village
waiting for destruction
all terror,
all terror in the flood.
Some days, I float above fists
thinking of them as canvasses
on crooked easels. Blots
on fingers, feet &...

Hymn to Creation
i.
in the beginning
there was a ram
made of wounds
and starlight
electrical currents
for blood masked
a humble den
of deceit
ii.
the bear tasted
of dark, honeyed pine
forming clenched palms
in the veiled morning mist
carpet burns on knees
that wholly eroticised
the initials carved
into a thigh
iii.
rabbit peered from her hole
flat-eared and frightened,
a universe imploding...

my song
if there
were
some way
for me
to convince
you
to be
enticed
by
my song,
maybe adorn
myself
with words,
wrap myself
in lines
from poems,
would you
accept
all these
things,
would you
be interested?

Friction Fractal
altering according to need and necessity
seething on the gag with one small admission
my mouth is vicious
please God guard my mind, my tongue
biting down on the restraint
until it builds and all the birds of the air gather
with expletives flying I release the tension
where it comes from I don't know
the men are in the war room
guard your minds brothers were maneuvering
bring the houses together and unify
assaulting schisms tangy with pressure
jilting midnight's pleasure
I prolong the moment of...

Faded Rose
tender emotions well inside me
honesty in presentation my heart swells
tears form, I hide them inside, you never see them
you only see the glare of pain
it touches the hurt spots, that make me afraid of losing
a family of generations
attached to me, each in a unique way
my understanding shaken I stood alone
I didn't see the tears in your eyes
my eyes shone too brightly
then diminished in the light that glittered more than me
my Delta Dawn was a faded rose
divinely flavored with sorrow
you sup at God's breast
