In the Mouth of Desirein the mouth of desire, inverted spires
lean toward the grots of Hell.
tongues forked, skewered with sapphires
in the mouth of desire, inverted spires.
Adam's apple burning cores, as moths for martyrdom's fires.
on the path to perdition: many had attended well.
in the mouth of desire, manipulation stirs.
the crone fanning her cauldron
a hot vat of ruin, Wiccan...

Morning Ritual;AutumnOutside the trees are called
by the Autumn’s breeze.
The door isn’t perfectly shut
as the leaves seep through
the uneven cracks.
The whistling tune from
Nature’s broken karaoke
machine finds its way under
the door. Slowly the shadows
become dimmer as the morning
sun sets in and the birds begin
to chirp as the crickets causes
a ruckus enough to wake
the subconscious mind from
sleeping internally.

Untitled 4Don’t clip my wings
My paintbrush has traced many lines
My feathers have flown in many formations
A commander of confidence
I am flying
My heart is racing
I know I am alive
Am I living?
These talons need to be removed.
Where are my wings?
What happened to my art?
I remember a paintbrush.
Why am I naked?
Did I doubt it?
Did I clip my wings?

The Digits of Pi
The digits of pi are a squiggle
That never will cease but to wiggle.
It won't stay in place,
No pattern will trace,
It has a continuous giggle....

Droplets of RelativityLife moves ever forward
Every minute that passes
It changes ever so slightly
Stepping closer
Step by step
Til the steps fade out into the night
Millions of them start and end
Like droplets of rain
Eventually they evaporate
Into clouds they form
And soon they'll fall, again and again...

SunriseI think the sun rises not from the east—
but from your stomach
Nor does it sink from the west—
but returns to your stomach
When I touched it I truly understood the work of art that God created...

Self-conflictedI'm so conflicted,
I can't find my way back home.
I've been missing,
I tried to save myself again.
I've been wishing,
A star would find this hole in me.
My heart keeps skipping,
down the road to a loathsome beat.
I keep slipping,
I'm so high I've lost my feet.
The words their all missing,
from everything I wanted to say.
I'm so conflicted...

WaterlilyBetrayal
Like a phoenix
Except
I’m rising from the water
Taking flame when I touch air
Redemption
Like a hero
Except
I’m no better
Than the enemy now
Fire
In my eyes
Except
The flames of my hatred
Will last for eternity
Loathing
Can change you
Except
I don’t feel changed
I feel free
Betrayal
Can only get you so far
Redemption
Will only give you so much
Fire
Can only...

Ordinary days Beautiful recirculation of my lifeWakey, wakey!
The buzz from my advanced THRITY THREE TEN seem to yell
Opened windows slapped aging mango leaves on my face
Monday already? Morning already?
Granny’s creaking chair again!
Savoring with folks of mine the bland toast with juicy old gossip, mom’s warm smile
Welcomed into my everyday worn out NIKE with pain
Unending miles, but starts with a mile.

ingThe sun is burning
Population growing
Poverty pulsing
Rich repeating
Man-beating
One meeting
Fleeting
Ding.
Phone alerts ringing
The chorus is singing
Fear is clawing
Up our throats, feasting
Least of all, dying
The moon is rising
While the Earth is spinning
Heads are pounding
Bosses are hounding
No more housing
Delousing
Ping.
The microwave meal is ready for eating
Time for feeding
Has your skin been shedding?
How’s the fat shredding?
Oh you’re still driving?
No that’s not...

So, and so, or soSo creeped out by my own ideas,
So I am so bad as I seemed, because
So and so said so, and
So and so sees it, and I'm
So scared to be what I'm scared of, what
So and so is said to be, what is
So so bad, so bad as it seems, she's
So creeped out said so and...

Cycling O'er and O'erThe kind ones, the mean ones,
the big ones, the lean ones-
Some try, some don't,
and some cry, but some don't.
Actions and reactions,
what are they but events,
cycling o'er and o'er?
We laugh, we cry,
we live, we die;
cycling o'er and o'er.
The poor ones, the rich ones,
the happy ones, the sad ones,
"Why does money even matter?"
Cycling o'er and o'er.
History repeats,...
