Now opening...

You Kissed Him In Front of MeYou didn’t notice my tears.
As you both kissed each other
like two lonely plungers
who just escaped from plumber’s solitary confinement,

Incomplete soul mates
Running on muted slow dances

For the wingless dragonfly to finally open her heart to the world

And I didn’t have to put my baby

Our retinas
became diamond forged binds
In serenity’s lock

because nobody likes Chocolate.
For transforming the freckled clusterbomb on my face,

SentencedThey 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
They...

Into YouCohabitating with your floral penance,
I slow grind
With
Memories
All metaphorical bets,
Off

Step Inside the Storm
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

The Delayed Flight HomeUpon 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...

Craving her conjugated inhales
Hopped up grins,
Engorge momentary lapse of pre-judgments
Grandfathered seconds pass my retinas with
3rd eye epiphanies,
