Contemplation and escape...
A thin trail of coffee aroma touched her soul strings.
And the rays of the spring sun played in a light haze in the quiet of the apartment.
In the soft foam of the airy drink, she built her castles.
The smell of coffee, caressing her thoughts, carried away far from the earth.
Dreams of happiness swirled over her, making her forget about the world and herself.
A cup of coffee in itself embodied a sensitive trembling, exciting fear.
And in a pleasant woody haze, taking a sip of fragrant darkness,
She wanted to become invisible, not to feel the severity of the...

Lost in the Twilight of your Smile
I'm an intense man
It's taken years to lighten up
Celebrating my dimples
I'm told I have
I studied your smile
In the hazy twilight
Emanating your glow
Maybe I'll succeed
Wouldn't that be something
It's taken years to lighten up
Celebrating my dimples
I'm told I have
I studied your smile
In the hazy twilight
Emanating your glow
Maybe I'll succeed
Wouldn't that be something

Mentor, From Seuss, To Cliche, To Me
back when words were nothing
but tools to pry the undergarments
from a woman that didn’t understand
poetry.....
scratch that
I think women have poetry scribed
into their bones
coursing through their veins
as if tundras
star filled skies
and grass spun daydreams
are in their DNA
back when I didn’t understand
poetry
back when words were harsh
a dialect of cunt and fuck
and the rhyme
oh the incessant repeat
of monotone beats
and metre was a measure
I didn’t...

the dappled dawn
the dappled dawn stretched and yawn
as her warmth spread over the hazy morn
waking her children as she go
the trees heavily laden with dew
reached skyward for her first touch
she smiled inside herself she knew
they understood her the best
eagerly awaiting her presence to usher back the chill night
whispering words of encouragement to her sleepy children
they understood the language of the dawn
the mortals could not know
though they study her steps closely
she was alive
a part of all that draw breath ...

Fortune Cookie
This is for a special poetess...
Getting out of bed dressing to think what the day would bring
I only want to laugh, breath, and allow my heart to echo when my voice sings
Facing a world that can be so detrimental, unfair, and damaging to the mind, so cruel
Is it better to hide my sorrows, my shame under a pillow only to give laughter it’s just due
My skin is just as beautiful once I dust off my hidden composure and allow it to once again shine
Its worthy to be grand as I am, I was born in it and its mine
My emotions, found in the safety net of...

Beards & Breakdowns
It always starts with a beard -
The breakdown.
After days bleed into weird -
The falling frown.
Realization behind silver
Filaments, crawling
Under the surface layer
Of the lit up mirror.
Precision of vision bright -
Madness is quite
The sight
Tonight.
Gnarly follicles screaming.
Wild hair dreaming.
All seeming -
Freeing.
Like
Detachment adjacent
to
Detachment
Unhinged
Lunatic fringe...
Madness begins...
The breakdown.
After days bleed into weird -
The falling frown.
Realization behind silver
Filaments, crawling
Under the surface layer
Of the lit up mirror.
Precision of vision bright -
Madness is quite
The sight
Tonight.
Gnarly follicles screaming.
Wild hair dreaming.
All seeming -
Freeing.
Like
Detachment adjacent
to
Detachment

Lunatic fringe...
Madness begins...

Xanadu
Roller-skating
Up the highway
Of a redwood
Tree trunk
So fast the
Wheels gave way
To feathers
Of electropunk
As muses of
Neon doves
Soaring over a
Sea of fantasy
With art for
Hearts that love
Technicolor
Defying gravity
Dream beams
Of creativity
Landing to inspire
Magic streams
Of timeless
Movie screens
Into me
Into you
Enter
Xanadu
Up the highway
Of a redwood
Tree trunk
So fast the
Wheels gave way
To feathers
Of electropunk
As muses of
Neon doves
Soaring over a
Sea of fantasy
With art for
Hearts that love
Technicolor
Defying gravity
Dream beams
Of creativity
Landing to inspire
Magic streams
Of timeless
Movie screens
Into me
Into you
Enter
Xanadu

Buy low, sell high
When the walls finish melting
and you find yourself
again on the open market
don't hold back, sweetheart,
don't hold back,
sell yourself...
Not like that.
I mean sell yourself
like you're a
two-dollar whore
and the rent
is due
tonight.
Throw your pimp
against the wall
and grind on
her in long, lewd
circles, as she
conducts business
around
your back,
trading shares
taking bids,
selling low
getting high,
and you're...
