Stars
Nights glow purple glazed,
seen through obsidian eyes.
Searching through shadows
immersed in twilight's embrace.
Lost in the constellations.

Mistakes in Stone
I, fully convinced,
Blazed a trail through walls of stone.
I, wholly mindless,
Destroyed beauty and love.
My folly now etched in time
Blazed a trail through walls of stone.
I, wholly mindless,
Destroyed beauty and love.
My folly now etched in time

Redeemed
Once a stalker,
a murderer,
a killer,
now a sweet girl
who hugs Josh
when he gets triggered
in the groin.
Kisses him sweetly on the lips

pretty pictures
I try to stay away from
the hearts and flowers
in my poems
because the hearts
would be crushed
and broken
and all the flowers
dried out and
dead

the question
standing in the
bathroom
looking in the
mirror
asked the question
"Where did it go?"
the answer came
came like bombs
falling on Berlin
under black and
white news clip
skies from 1944
time...
you old bastard,
you

Better Elsewhere
A whole different life - in dreams
Cinnamon complexions
physical inspections
Never a doubt,
I am where I belong
The cruelty of waking
to an empty room
Insignificant
and unloved
It wasn't always this way,
but it is.

Scented by shampoo
I wear you
my sweat shampoo
inside the nose
behind the ears and
at my fingertips
the edges
burning in the tongue
my vinegar shampoo
(with pepper)
