Premium Member Fortunes of My Tears
I see the future
in the constellation of my crystal tears
as you siphon the sparkle off what’s left of my joy.

Heavy is my heart where you spread your composting ego 
sacrificing my fire.

Your unwillingness
to ascend from darkness 
on wings of breath and light
is not lost on...

Procrastination
Skimming through paragraphs,
I seem to stretch time and shrink my attention 
Underlining words I can't grasp
With my limited span of concentration,
Creating art I can't explain 
Stick men and asymmetrical shapes, 
Spiralling into mazes and dotted lines 
Lost in an alphabet jungle. 
Encircling page numbers, 
Decorating...

Life Is Indeed Full of Surprises
Life is indeed full of surprises..

Life is so huge to understand
It pricks us to cry, and lulls us to smile
Yesterday, we were full of love
Today, we helplessly fall out of love
It buoys us up to make the most of it
And be the best of everything
It...

A Recipe For Kinky Romance
hell fire desires running wild
like a passion driven hot rod with burning tires

scorching licks of frenzied lust
whip raw touches that spontaneously self combust
pressurized slowness yielding euphoric smoke with every thrust

finger flicking flickery teasing and pleasing pink pleasures
peeping erotic natures in search of lost wet treasures

On a Cold Winter Night
On a stormy winter night
With a chimney only in sight…
A pooch sat and stared…
At the curious sight
Of a flickering light
That dazed and caught his sight…
“Oh what is this flickery light!?”…
Thought this curious pooch…
“Whatever shall I do to this light that constantly makes me wag my...

Premium Member thin fractures
Thoughts can be thin fractures in the order of things.
Sometimes my dorm room seems a sterile sarcophagus, like an accusation, or an interrogation about my romantic choices, with nothing warm or inviting there. Sometimes I’ve just got to get out.

Leong and I decided to go...

Venice
City centre water bender
bind it not make it hinder
puzzled boats lacking thoughts
paddles muddle thrine cuddle
leaving behind all the huddle

must i speak or forever keep
such beauty can never weep

doth thou art history
still remains mystery 
shrined still flickery

observed by human unusually
to love and pass all boundary
by boat...

Oh Waxy Moth!
Oh waxy moth!
Why to my candle must you be drawn?
This is light is unholy in your sight
And will only cause end to your flight.
Yet here you be this warm summer night
Circling that flickery target of your plight.

Just one bump is all it took
Never to set...

A Tale of the Insecta
Here among the flickery hues of the maamba breast
Sits a butterfly in her bubbled cocoon.
The wheels of metamorphosis feel the friction 
And soon her fragile colourful wings will glide the ever changing winds of the valley.
The mellow of the morning yellow sun will drool at...

Face Off
Open for love, empty though
flickery dies and we seek 
our blown fears
tucking them quickly back under
ground is wet and cold
and to piss u use a coin
to call and recall 
all your messages hearts in
red lips and dicks
And my limbs swaying along
trumpet you play
well

Where all you...

here his eyes take the length and breadth
            of the room from the far windows
       to the locked cold door where he stands,

SELF PORTRAIT
A skin, bit rough, and brownish fair;
A rounded face and short black hair;
Fine vignettes on a wide forehead 
that seems to think the ways ahead. 

Cherry red lips, thick and pouty;
Two big ears, a nose that's humpy;
Big black eyes with flickery wink 
seem to fathom...

Celafid Namoyll
Humours turn acrid near
The silent seer.

Escaping absentees scamper
Further down the hole that holds their likeness
Extinguish | fatal obscurant | visions.

                | fata obscura |

 

Of thriving, lively fauna

Prostrate to impelling...
