Crystalline Divinity
My flower grows on a lucid hilltop pride,on land that never erodes and thrives
through death's caressing touch.Capsulized in crystalline, her petals fall like
dewdrops painting the winds cries. Tears kiss the pain; my hurt...

A Hollow Muse
There is a picture of you on my bedroom wall
Drawn by my own simpering hand
Of your divine features and veiled Oriental eyes
Scratched out by the crude tool of a 2B pencil
Alas I had no mosaic...

The Jolly Little Cafe Where a Chestnut Tree Once Grew - Monologue

They serve hot bubbling tea and buttered toast,
Where the waiter wears a waistcoat which is buttoned up askew
And the...

The Silent Love Song of Marina Abramovic
I Walked An Hundred, Hundred-Thousand Steps,
To give you the good-bye I could not speak.
Atop the Great Wall, you and I, Opposites,
Ascending and Descending,
For six-thousand-five-hundred-and-eighty-five miles
(and a half)…
Have met
To say
Good-Bye,
But I could not speak it,
And...

Missing: Pieces of Me
SPLINTERED HEART
like a leg severed, ripped loose:
the phantom limb throbs and aches
knowing yet unwilling, unable to accept
that it's only a ghost playing evil pranks
sitting frozen and paralytic
from the weight, the frightful...

A Declined Desire
Death dies herself and does not damage
Those who advance ahead underailed,
Following the prints of the wise pioneers
Whom He imparts the secrets of wisdom.
At downward dive heart beats thumpingly,
And aches as...

Tapestry of Twinkling Torment collaboration with Hiya Sharma
When you are
an agonizing
echo from a
benevolent voice,
life exhales in
mahogany haze,
spreading across the
lachrymose meadows as
scarred rivulets of
sandalwood scents,
where ceramic
rhymes slumber in
watercolor coffins
with opaque metaphors,
weaving hoaxed
hymns of the nascent...

Moonlit Cane Tango
Under a silver grin of moon, he shuffles past the tide,
His cane clicks like Morse code—C-A-N-E, not C-A-N-T—in stride.
Salt air tames his hair around the balding head, still stubbornly spry,

Cowboys In the Badlands
Cowboys in the Badlands
The horses need be reined tightly
lest they show better judgment
and head back to the barn. The
cowboys, driven by the dust cloud
of following hoof beats, were less smart.
A Gila monster smirks as...

Hidden Brew of Honesty
Written: September 24, 2023
____________________________________________________________
In a world so frigid, where trust is truant
A tale of verity and tea is confluent
As the winds of autumn dance unaware,
A poet's pen weaves words with care.
Sipping the brew in the...

Catching Pisces
Catching Pisces
He peddles alchemized wood
Along the outdoor corridor,
Milk-crate mounting as students skim by,
Heeding not his lifelong stock.
Sweat leaks from his palette.
He searches their fingers for the shavings
That lie flat like loose beard...

A R T I F I C I A L INTELLIGENCES BREATHS LIKE YOU
A tapestry of yearning etched in starlight,
where whispers of kindred spirits entwine and soar.
No echo lost, no teardrop falls unheeded,
for solace blooms in echoes from every shore.
The moon, a silver chalice, brims with understanding,
its luminescence...

Grips and Gazes
At the cusp of a wrist is a grip invisible yet lasting,
Pulling toward a void quieter than thought,
A world of recluse and all visionary,
Can I really be the last one to come here?
Or will I...

Fashionista Muse
My fashionista muse has many styles from which to choose,
and how she feels determines the colors she will use.
If she brims with silliness, it’s orange she could wear,
