Roasting Marshmallows on a Dumpster Fire
The bullshit that I keep coming back to
is your declaration
that you're going out in a blaze of glory
at the hands
of two of your favorite people
Sir, it's been a distinct dishonor
to witness this glorious
pile of ash and trash
you've left in your wake
To how many have you fed
that line about who has "more of you"?
What a wonderful consolation prize
Honestly, the thing I might like best
is how you left
dropping a sack of flaming shit
on my doorstep
content to let me take the...

devil's 2 step
would you walk willingly
right back into the devil's embrace
knowing intimately...what awaits
allow yourself to be held...again
locked in his acidic chains
feel the familiar slice
of dagger breath across your neck
still healing from the last tango
from which you barely escaped
would you...
could you let yourself be led
...eyes wide open...
into the darkest corner
of his deepest dungeon
because hell hides nothing
once you know...you will always know
& the curl of his jagged claws
as they sink...
right back into the devil's embrace
knowing intimately...what awaits
allow yourself to be held...again
locked in his acidic chains
feel the familiar slice
of dagger breath across your neck
still healing from the last tango
from which you barely escaped
would you...
could you let yourself be led
...eyes wide open...
into the darkest corner
of his deepest dungeon
because hell hides nothing
once you know...you will always know
& the curl of his jagged claws
as they sink...

away
come unto me in dire need
those sick with grief
weep eternities, for my loss
intertwined fates, kiss
and then depart
dark art, is the separation of lovers
who in desparation, come together one last time
secreting their affair under midnight's bliss
then by sunlight, cursed
may I find you one more time
in another century, perhaps
beautiful belladona your lips are poison
but they are truthful
let it be swift
aching heart I can bear no more
honesties rose is vulnerable, before me ...
those sick with grief
weep eternities, for my loss
intertwined fates, kiss
and then depart
dark art, is the separation of lovers
who in desparation, come together one last time
secreting their affair under midnight's bliss
then by sunlight, cursed
may I find you one more time
in another century, perhaps
beautiful belladona your lips are poison
but they are truthful
let it be swift
aching heart I can bear no more
honesties rose is vulnerable, before me ...

Paper Cities
I dip my toes in the sunlit bay of New Life
Watching the golden ripple of my design.
Lack of apology keeps me buoyant
As I slip with deeper intention
Breath growing sweeter with each draw, I hold it.
Never my own to keep… sweeter, still
Floating upside-down
In an idyllic stream of consciousness
Raspberry waves, supple with covetous healing
Embark unrestricted; storm beaten and evolved
Eagerly open to the sky
Awash with heartbreak and gentle chaos
I ponder.
Lain bare,
My hands tell the story my voice betrays...
Watching the golden ripple of my design.
Lack of apology keeps me buoyant
As I slip with deeper intention
Breath growing sweeter with each draw, I hold it.
Never my own to keep… sweeter, still
Floating upside-down
In an idyllic stream of consciousness
Raspberry waves, supple with covetous healing
Embark unrestricted; storm beaten and evolved
Eagerly open to the sky
Awash with heartbreak and gentle chaos
I ponder.
Lain bare,
My hands tell the story my voice betrays...
