Twin Curse

Crossing the addictions
of body and soul
Delirium tremens
is taking its toll

Like Nitro and Glycerin
waiting to strike
Their coupling disastrous
all day into night

My spirit when willing
the flesh all too weak
Those few days I’m able
my willpower bleak

The detox not working
no cure comes my way
All food tastes like poison
these shakes here to stay

A bomb ticks within me
its fuse ever burns
Tomorrow

Kindred Spirits

*Kindred Spirits*

 I am often labeled as possessing "special" needs, and while there lies a kernel of truth within that phrase, the needs which burn brightest in my core are no different than yours, dear friend. Just as you crave acceptance, I ache for it too; a longing that colors every sunrise and sunset I

Emotional Buffet 2

I sat apart from life, too weary to live,
Even the breath I owed, I refused to give.

The curse of the world is rightful on me,
I thinned the trees, not the flowers to be.

In the end, the mind grows tired of love’s flame,
I made a firefly my partner in name.

Whatever the cause, it stands as a

Landmarked

Love lingers beyond the neon,
it’s dazzling light will never flicker. 
With each collected moment 
developing that richer hue,
fresh paint on a landmarked sign 
filled with history.

Fall from love to death

It started with a smile
A true love a dirty deep love
Panda dunks and bands flying 
Clubs and soft skin
Past in the can can you remember

He was so sweet so loving
You wouldnt see it coming
The slow poison 
Shes living live laughs jokes with his boys and then

He snapped

The bruise ripened like the fake fruit that sat

The Conjuring

Cinnamon and clover lingers on my breath,
a reminder of power that lies dormant.
Building …
                  hesitating…
                       

Spirit of the mountain speaks

I open behind the curtains 
To let in the most beautiful ultra light 
You who knows this heart better than anyone else 
A soul calls out singing enchantingly 
In flash your blinding 
brings salt to the eyes 
crystal pearls flashing diamond silver
Mixed with golden sunlight 
paints a rainbow of colours 
laced with angel rays shines

I

Am still here
Heaven and earth 
Negotiate custody terms


Heaven became resentful

With every payment
A part of my soul is severed

How can I go to heaven incomplete?

More Than A Soft Toy

She was just five years old so her current hurt weighed more than her body.  

Words spoken by her mama hadn’t ever hurt before, they’d always been gentle and encouraging, but today it was her mama's words that turned her guileless emotions sad.  The little girl didn't know what to do.  All

Coveted entrance

Coveted entrance opens again for the sunrays 
Whisper with the tinges of clouds succeeds 
Coats of fog and moats of hesitation dropped 
Sunbeams set to get into the tidal summit

Lover's heartbreak

All I have left of you is this kiss ?? 
And it wasn't even on my lips
It's just a reminder of how I fell out of love
And I'm left sitting here wondering 

The first week I'd just stand by the shower
And the water full throttle would have at me
It'd be cold but I'd stand there

Two circular villas

Two circular villas perched on the bony roots
No coat, no paint, only the scent of the bare skin
Restive camera instinctively released its telelens. 
From nowhere, a tornado started wreaking havoc.

Thousands of wings

Fingers gliding along the sonorous wire
Captive birds inside get restive for the sky
plucking and flicking of fingers then continue 
At the still point thousands of wings are free

Scent of Citrus

Water rushing, steam rising, accompanied by the scent of citrus. 
Breathing in the scent of citrus suds to ground myself. 
Trying to keep myself sane. 
Water racing down my face, washing away the stress and pain of the day. 
No longer drowning the day out with water, back to reality.

what love could i seek if not yours?

what love could i seek if it’s not yours?
a joyous ode to your name— 
even sorrow would glee to hear.

i’ll leave some words on your doorstep
slowly relenting, slightly scrambling.

like the way they were in my tongue,
your name’s as sweet as the morning dew,
waiting for my lips to utter
each syllables describing all of you

don’t spare me
