Long Shapeshifter Poems

"The Messenger"

Love is rich with 
venom and honey. 

there was a female ...

snake, 
it watched 
with green-eyed 
avarice, covetting
a dove’s nest

They say Marriage is a 50/50 love, yet
at its end I became that lonesome dove.
Seeing I was outnumbered, I slowly caved into 
her marital masquerade, a benevolent shapeshifter
of sorts in a solemn Pisces recompense of
"yes...

Man In My Head, 

You live there– 
(here I should say) 
but I suppose I don’t need to tell you that.
You’re the one making your space.

You’re forever within the confines of my mushy, distorted headspace;
so...

I'm not a shapeshifter or a drifter searching for a home, 
one who's weary of roaming like a song on the wind 
that no ears can hear except for mine alone.
I'm not a gypsy cursed...

"I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs no poet has ever painted
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart"

Cold, emotionless, and her nature, defiant 
Hard to connect with as well as unreliant
A boarding school for...

Snakes of all shapes



Snakes lie and wait in the grass,

Along the floor or high in the tree they creep but the bite lasts,

One wrong step the venom is the king of killers,

They can strike with...

GHOST ELEMENTAL

Lightning, currently water- currently fire, solid in spirit,           ethereal flyer.
Vanishes upon completing its journey, by energys desire. 
As a shapeshifter in exhale, flashing bare.

winds of separation you blew towards me when you set the boundaries of longing. 
it was you who overfilled the bowl I held out
then whilst spilling the wine, you laughed.
how did you, then, walk away?

Wisemen, shaman, and medicine men understand skin-walkers
These are usually quiet meditative types, not the biggest talkers.

People who can transform into bears, wolves, eagles and fox.
Men and women who self-hypnotize and live outside of society’s box.

Ancient Conspiracies 
Thousands of years ago
They came to earth
Alien shapeshifting reptilian creatures
From Sirius the dog star

They founded Atlantis
Enslaved humanity
They destroyed Atlantis 
In a nuclear war

The descendants walk among us
To this day
Forming an ancient conspiracy
The shapeshifters...

I am fascinated by the movement of an encroaching shadow
Changing forms, reminding me of the fictional shapeshifter
On the other side of the meadow lurks...

Eyes are bewitched by a twitch
a  that has made a home
in the ever-twirling mind.
The twitch is both a she and a he -
it does not care whatever or witch,
It settles in the flesh-nest,
lays a...

I am you, or are you me?
Are we truly who we’re meant to be?

Seemingly fluid, so unfixed
The facets defining, so intermixed

On the sweetest day in June
I am the Lilly you watch bloom

In the deep cold...

Not a single drop of ink on this white page.
Not a single drop of soaking silent tears
Not a single night of those haunted nightmares.

Not for you
Not for me

Not for these unspoken moments
Not for these improbable...

Death comes close in the night
when shadows grow and sleep envelopes, relaxing guards
who snore slumped in corners
their spears and shields useless on the ground, 
their dinner crumbs of cheese and bread 
just laying there for...

Through mirror’s bilge, Mariana on deck -
Wick’d queen, licks lips, with a delicious scheme.
In mock ascent, ego gives cheek a peck.
Suddenly daughter’s reflection - a gleam,
As snow forms queen’s exhale into a scream,
Her rubious threads...

I have a secret it's buried deep
Almost afraid to fall asleep
My shape will shift when unaware
It really is a frightful scare.

This morning found black feather on bed
Midnight is trigger I truly dread
No idea where I...
