Mood with Molly in her cozy
But large room. He layed on her
Bed she layed on top of him.
"Hmm,"...

Insecurity

A shameful secret that everyone hides behind their fake facades, when we should be honored to wear them and show them off
Why do we hide who we truly are from the strangers that we meet?...

Fabrication

"How Do I Feel Today"

Where Gladiators Fought

Part I

Where gladiators fought for life,
we meet to fight for love
The constellations in the Roman night sky,

in the white blood of light
The night is throbbing with the heat of our battle,

You are my muse

I wonder: would you make me your mistress
lost in a world of poetry under your wings
I’ll celebrate heaven's gift; more to me a tortured love

Written three years ago tomorrow,

mental state of yore
recent post traumatic stress 
triggered courtesy war
torn legally tendered greenbacks, 
where enemy bonded, heisted, and netted 
mine...

Robbed

It has been long,

I wish for your voice once more.

It landed on my left hand

Stop Killing My Country

Stop Killing My Country

Accused of political banter, 
to speak the words, God Bless, 
and America in the same sentence. 
Bespeaking the fear,
