Sliced Her Like a Knife SliceThe Story:
ragged faded
lady hoarder,
dumpster-diving
diva boarder,
dancin' to the tune
of her Dandelion Wine.
milky-eyed maiden,
peddles paper posies,
masticating carnivore,
toothless, useless whore.

not anymore!

We Are Worlds
"We are Worlds"
Internally eternal
in each of us
another world
Unknown
and alien
supporting strange lifeforms
hidden beneath our veils
watching silently
illuminating exotic ethereal lines
Connectors electric
touch each other
another’s world
reaching out instinctively
we regenerate ad infinitum
Lux Vitae unfurls
too deep...

Demons
With darkness scintillating in my soul,
And the seven of wands in my hold,
I take up the challenge upfront,
Paper planes ready to fold.
The sea washed away my sandcastles,
But isn’t history made of the remains?
Lies may plunge...

Dead EndsThe ocean jade, its
white-veined waves,
flush the sponge land,
as dangled toes melt into sand.
Far across the earth ends
in a silver bright horizon...
Almost blue then, there
the sky, the water
Transpose in sight
Coalesce inseparably
Those seas, those skies....

The wordless poet, sunk in her stupor of defeated uninspired misery
She sits alone in the darkness,
Encompassed in her imprisoning spotlight of gloom
Surrounded by a million lights of happy souls
