Let Me Give Her Diamonds

Let me give her diamonds
for my heart's
sharp edges.

Let me give her roses
for my soul's
thorn.

Let me give her solace
for my words
of treason.

Let the flowering of love
outlast a winter
season.

Let me...

Glue of Goshen

My dreams became galling
To my fratricidal brothers
My father's favor appalling
Birthed from different mothers

"The master of dreams is coming."
Down the cistern they tossed me
Their plan to kill me numbing
My dreams engulfed in irony

Reuben discouraged their plan
They...

More Beautiful Inside

“More Beautiful Inside”



That morning 
we all

and the love inside
everyone aligned
caring for one another
a pathological kindness
bloomed like a virus
inside us

some say

Falling Into Books

And I disappeared back into the books,
Whirling in a seamless stream of context,
By whose scarlet blood I assumed some looks,
Forevermore ready for what was next.

From this moment on I could not assume,
That what I had...

When you called today
I sensed in your voice “sweet smiles”.

Sent out to me, all of those miles.

Circumstances leaves you few A chances.
No nick, no pick, no give me more.
Just a little sauce.
No custard tart.

more generally hats designed with brim.

through pareidolia’s visual drift
causing our human perception...
