"Home is Where the Heart Is"



Savages 
behind closed doors
Civilised 
but wild animals
sharpening claws
Humanity 
tries to escape itself
can’t run away

"TRUE HOME"
behind closed doors
Now opening...

who just escaped from plumber’s solitary confinement,
your eyes open and wander up.

You didn’t...

To hear me would sound like a symphony of octaves –
played all at once with concrete fingers
on diamond in the rough strings.

To see me…O’, to...

The “forthcoming” backtracks on dilly-dallied whispers.

They place verbal down payments on layaway,
Incomplete soul mates
Running on muted slow dances

Blanketing their pain

“Oh, how I always wished for...

How long did it take her to be free?

How long did it take
For the wingless dragonfly to finally open her heart to the world

How long...

Our hearts were a veritable slow dance

And I didn’t have to put my baby
In the corner

Our retinas
became diamond forged binds
In serenity’s lock

Dipping
Your tear ducts within...

For transforming the freckled clusterbomb on my face,
into baby skin smoothness!

Because freckles are humanity’s...

They place my vowel
Under barren landscape

Sipping from cracked porcelain cup
Of an alienated heartbeat

Devilish grins
Slapping Karma’s bottom,
A quarterback’s misguided win

Liar’s prophetic retinas glaze
With metric, disciplinary ruler

Cohabitating with your floral penance,
I slow grind
With
Memories

All metaphorical bets,
Off

Jumping head first

Another solemn wish
Unto you
To caress my smile

Another didactic breath
For your silky, titanium retinas

of the punctate canopy of night
Perseus astride the winged Pegasus
Hurtling to save his fair maid Andromeda

Calm in the center of the carnage,
inaction seen by detached retinas
Silently viewing
societal norm walls falling 
Violently by lewd winds toppling ...
house of marked cards folding

My
eyes are 
sorely touched

from the line of matchbox cars
clogging humanities sewers

Upon revelation’s flight
Under Orion’s focus

I witness a fiery glow towards familiar horizons.

‘Tis no sunrise

It is a striking reality.

My saddened retinas witness monochromatic pitchforks,
Desolated screams,
Embellished declarations...

Her embedded dialect,
Savored

I become a speechless stanza,
Craving her conjugated inhales

Hopped up grins,
Engorge momentary lapse of pre-judgments

Grandfathered seconds pass my retinas with
3rd eye epiphanies, 
As she...
