Anne Sexton, Why I took My Own Life

...
I wore my mind like a corset—tight, laced, unseen—
while the world asked me to smile with lipstick teeth
and stir the soup without stirring the storm inside.

There were mornings I woke as if e...

Skull and Bones

...It was a somber afternoon in New Haven,
Where silence echoed louder than sound.
The towers of Yale loomed like sentinels—
We, the chosen, gathered without a word.

Not boys. Not even men.
But v...

The Atom Cries in Silence

...Beneath the crust of Saturn's breath,
Where silence swells and swallows death,
A single proton-left alone-
Whispers truths to shards of bone.

They built a star inside a cage,
Lit it young, the...

Flower Chide VII, Pokenose

...Caelith pulsed in the starless seam,
No warmth, just orbit, cold with gleam.
“Equality is just a myth,” it sighed,
“And safety, merely a dreamleaf dried.
A lull to cradle wilt and thrall,
For le...

I Feel Pasts

...
I feel all pasts,
As if they were yesterday,
Decades are but minutes to my minds and feels.
As if I were still two-tens and five,
Rather than three-tens and two.

Flashbulbs pulsed to songs p...

Flower Chide V,Petalbreach

...He looked at Rose not past, but through
And said, “What waits will change you too.”
She plucked out a petal and handed him.
It pulsed between the stem and rim.

Rose turned back with nothing sai...

I Live Zealously Breathless

Oval

...An oval shape—a ghostly pane,
A frame of whispers, soft refrain.
It hung in quiet, out of view,
Where silence slept and shadows grew.

I glimpsed “the oval window, a portal to another dimension,...

Then Slash Now

...then:
I swallowed escape
in pastel capsules,
my pockets jingled with regret.
The nights pulsed—
bass, sweat, strangers.
Every weekend was a blackout baptism.
Every Monday, a resurrection I did...

something about that jazz

...as we danced every step was discovery, the creaking patio hardwood
rhythmic and soulful. the light was wet, it’d just rained. under the melting
evening sky time softened, dripped. we glistened, jew...

Humpback Whales At Sea

...

Clicks, whistles and pulsed calls
coming from whales you can't see 
Within the compounds, no walls 
only ocean water and Captain Lee 

Sonograms and ultrasounds, its a joy  
when whale voic...

Jazz Vinyl's Pyre

...(Snaps fingers) Let's talk sonic alchemy, a cauldron bubblin' deep/
  Rare groove rising, a phoenix from jazz vinyl's pyre/
 Acid Jazz is born, setting the soul on fire/ in London's smoky clubs, ba...

I twist in torment

Vogon Poetry Contest

...Mea Culpa, but I Plead not Guilty.

Safe at home,
it was an ordinary day.
I was on PoetrySoup,
reading poems, page by page.
And then, the house shook,
I ran outside,
and to my surprise a ligh...

Allah's Love

...Allah's Love

In realms where stars ignite with fire,
Where silence throbs with hidden desire,
There dwelt Allah, unbound and free,
A god of flame, of lust’s decree.

The dusk caressed his mol...
