Last Dance
“The wood feels so cold,” she thinks,
Running her hand along the freshly, waxed surface,
“And his tie is not straight.”
Her trembling fingers instinctually reach in,
Repositioning the ruffled fabric,
“There, that’s better,” she smiles,
Leaving her palm resting on...

“Scrabbled”



I could write a book
about all your dance moves
fire handed on a platter
heart beating like a hammer

a body of work
glanced at nonchalantly
on an open floor
dance cards marked, 

silent deals made
and understood
blind man’s bluff 
toe tapping...

Just like all the other cats
He brainstormed and finally thought
Of a way to get him as liked

To make himself look like a cat

Eternally I Wait
I sit. watching out the window.
snow falls gently through the crisp air.
a tingle, sprite-fully dances over my skin.
my fingers instinctually relieve the sensation
with a brush of my nails.

How long has it been.
Since I last touched...

The Veil
I've found no rest under the veil. 
Terrors spool their wretched gifts
atop a haggard pillow- lying in wait. 
Waiting for my conscious mind to

Where One Finds Good, Evil Always Preys!
From the very conception
We were born of good and evil -
Born from coitus pure and carnal,
But born angelic from inception - 
Or were we just morally neutral?

Just as children learn of good,
So do they learn...

A Void Dance
It’s medicinal,
Matters of the heart,
Once felt, 
Can risk being torn apart.
Abandoned,
Left forsaken,
This soul of mine,
Where has it been taken?
Wish I could awaken,
I used to dream,
One day it’ll be me,
Instead
Fortitude has forgotten me,
Begotten not devotion,
But constant...

Reigned in by none, my sign burns of fire

Savoring life with every breadth of my being

We were born into a sabotaged life,
Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 
Protruding branches trapped by the tree of life,
but sunlight produces chlorophyll, the attribution revolution.

We had to fight to be born,
against gravity, disease and other sperm.
