Long Textured Poems

I met with some bankers in fine textured suits.

a cure-all for things that ail your back.

I served 'em...

True love is unquestionable. 
What is true love?
To me; it is more feeling based rather than definitively worded.

Collected bi-gender, shared love—
She’s...

trusting family member
than an entitled warrior,
while outside "property improvements"

Hope for richly resonant peaceful warmth
wraps perfectly and mutually redeeming moments
correlatively weaving absorbent straining ropes
woofing full wefted tapestry

we came to know
There stood an Emerald Tree
Whose beauty did bestow

Tall and strong
Rich textured bark

Carefully stored
From Heartstone
To the...

Lips sewn to silence
just the way he likes her.
Living only through him
though she’s not alive.

Moving through the pulse and the flow
A timetable of fixed dilation
