So Far Away
I Stumble Upon My
Words – I’m
speechless
We were so far away
from each
other…I-I-I’m one
with
r-regret…f-feeling

y-you left me on the
filthy, messed-up
street…
I thought your kind
of “freedom” would
set us...

Matty Mattel Doll Circa Mcmlxv
(alternately titled: idolizing childhood's end
today April 25th, 2021
generates elusive warm treasured memories).

felt toward her “Willies” –

analogous to an outsize pipe cleaner)

The Uninviting Feeling
I'm not at all innocent...when you make
me hurt inside
I'm getting over you...but I'm not giving up

I will...

Skin Deep
I stare blankly ahead of me;
stare into the cracked soul of the being who used to reflect a smile
- the girl I used to love unconditionally.
That love evades me now.
Where has it gone?
I search desperately,...

The Captain and the Codfish
Peter Pan? He is nothing but a tale drawn out,
a hero of half-truths, drowned in fairy dust,
the dullest side of a double-edged sword.
Before my time lost its salt,
before the boards of this ship...

The blades of winter grind into the ice
like blood on a bitten lip
two lovers spin and twirl

Unshackled
Could beliefs be wrong
I've survived for too long
in a world full of conflicts,
wilting nascent innocence--
with venomous fearful experiences..
Broken dreams crawl to breathe

unaware of masked conspiracies
in fiery oceans of betrayal,
now pound against my...

that bring so much deepness
like how poets are
it isn't just about the imageries
that unblur the scenes
