In stars above
Humming in hemlock heartbeats ~
along the shorelines
which once swallowed the sun
in their searing shadows ~
I see those smoking seawaves
swirling upon my skin,
as the silhouettes
of damask dahlia damsels
drizzle and dance
in the tornadoes of
tangerine tulips ~
tiptoeing
and twirling me
with the tormenting tides
of papercut solstices,
and plucking the songs
of those diabolical dusks,
petal by...

Fulcrum of a RoseThey say the scent begins in bloom,
But I have felt it in the fold–
where petals hide, and shadows loom,
not where the colour are bold.
It lives between the bloom and bruise,
a hush the sunlight doesn't see.
It stays with those who never choose,
to shine, but still learn how to be.
I found it's centre,...

Heartbeat DependencyYou imagine them whispering in your ears
Through the screen of your computer
You forced me to listen to your heart
Quick and irregular
I'm afraid to uncover my ears
To hear the beating of your heart
I hope it never stops
Otherwise mine starts...

Fumbling SheepI'm a really hungry wolf
One that’s never satiated.
Your heart isn't enough
I need your whole arm off
I'm a truly gentle wolf,
Feeding on your bounty.
Maybe flesh is all I need
Not the tears you cry with doubt
What a lucky sheep you are,
Well-fed, with plenty of wool
Yet your eyes are full of fear,
Fumbling blindly in the dark.
"I mean no...

Howling WildernessThe sanguine sun just waved goodbye
and hides in the silhouettes
of hills in wilderness;
But, I still stand here between the line
that separates night from day;
No phone in my pocket only my own,
my own weary self
escaping from the city's endless hustle;
To slow down, that is my aim . Hence, I am here.
But little did I know,...

Fulcrum of a RoseThe crescent ~ half awake,
yet wholly aware,
like the essence of my presence ~
drowsy and divine ~
glowing in golden hues
is the mentor leading
me through scented silence.
I am the thorn and the petal,
the yin and yang,
the dusk and dawn,
the salt and smoke ~
an ember of fire
creased in lunar light,
a...

My Redemption
I'll never forget this day,
This day of pain,
The pain of her ever going away.
Just waking up,
Feeling something was wrong.
Ringing her phone,
Not getting an answer.
I couldn't hear her voice anymore.
So I called, I called, and I called.
That feeling of being on edge increasing
Until it stopped.
I had no choice but to call another
To only hear she was...

Mindfulness
Woke up this morning
come to find
can’t recall a thing at all
really think I’ve lost my mind
after sleep digging deep
to collect my thoughts
and what I recollect
amounts to naught
insufficient hard drive RAM
my memory is shot
what I remember as best I can
is not a lot it's diddley-squat
it's failing me
old age is what's ailing me
and yet will I forget
such...

Set Me OffA beer bottle don’t burst for no reason.
You shake it up.
It only shoots
when the cap cracks open.
I can’t be good
when I see your DJ setup,
and I wanna taste
what’s dripping,
what’s dying to break loose
when the cap cracks open.
I want my lips
On your fingers licking good.
They know what they’re doing —
Your fingers on the lid.
Play something.
Doesn’t matter...

The quiet OneShe doesn't speak, she just observes
feeling all the hidden curves
every laugh and every tear
holding close what's far and near
in the noise, she's calm and still
quiet heart, but strong will
things that burn inside her chest
never spoken, never stressed
she's the calm beneath the storm
different, soft, a secret form
the loudest voice you'll never see
the quiet one, who...

My trauma wears CrocsMy Trauma Wears Crocs
My trauma wears Crocs—
bright yellow, with stickers peeling off.
It doesn’t care how serious you want life to look.
It clomps into therapy,
kicks its feet,
asks if there’s snacks.
It’s loud at the wrong time,
laughs when I’m crying,
sits beside me on the floor and says,
“We’re not going anywhere, are we?”
I thought healing would wear silk.
Turns out,...

Black Eyes Closed
Black eyes smile down, a frown
The voices in my head of silent sound
Live weird connected without ground
Look around at all the nothing I've found
Eyes tired unfocused and uninspired
Teeth pulling pliers torture tools for hire
Liars, so many liars, flash flooded fires
The leper that was so very admired
Eyes closed, on the back of eyelids now froze
The red...

SINISTERSINISTER
Why prove it?
Prove that you’re significant to the a purpose that has no
sensibility,
In a world where we conform to that which surrounds us.
Does it make sense?
With this we ponder each day,
That your right is the only right and that the only validation needed
is yourself,
The opinion of others doesn’t matter,
Self-absorbed is the only thing I see,
Maybe,...

AnxietyAnxiety, the constant feeling of doom
Its like you can’t even come out of your room
most days I’m panicky and anxious
and I think to myself it’ll never get better
I get told quit being so under the weather
So I try to think about things that make me happy but my brain starts to fade...
