The rot of humanity's shadow is not in the ink, 
but in the darkness that fuels the pen,
gruesome daggers, dripping honeyed poison....

Red rose corset, black trim,
dress leaves little to imagination,
light lace to hide my secrets,
choker with meteor made black rose pendant....

Simmer ember tiny star
Supernova from a far
Azure wave through the void
Shattering marbles like glass toys
Simmer ember tiny star
Supernova all to char

A fleeting Fata Morgana that transmutes the deadly shiver of existence into the chrysopoeic alchemy of the infinite, where the boundaries of time and space are but a mere illusion.

Poem that is written with each gentle kiss

Music I play twitching the corners of my lips

Art brush paint four magnum opus till death

Final one I will whisper with my dying breath...

In the underbelly of the behemoth, 
where darkness devours the light, 
lies the truth - a macabre cotillion 
of vice and virtue, forever swirling, 
a maddening waltz of the dualistic kiss....

There is but one thing in my life that matters,
one ounce of sand, the rest is finger extensions,
caught in the side breeze — that is all you need,
one thing to keep — oar the aspen river rose....

 whistling
in the rain
how I love you
so they say
a dream is not
a nightmare in a play
a tragedy but whose to say
halved misery the other mystery
milks silken

In the twilight of my existence, I shall find peace in shadows, thorns ensnare my frame darling, dark and loving mistress, a fragile leaf clinging to the branch of eternity, a tender lover's embrace, I shall be no more....

As a societal pariah,
am I not deserving a grand denouement?
When my tale reaches zenith,
will I be shackled,
by the abhorrent atrocities,
your accursed kind has wrought,
upon my tempestuous form?
Light my pyre,
I need a tan....

*nocturne eye flicker*
*bite lip*
*rip asunder*

Malediction of a tragedy fused elegy,
mirror of red rum and visage of chaos.

The truth is a labyrinth of mirrors,
I am the reflection that stares back,
real you tryst behind quicksilver....

In a nearby village, a man unfurled his manifesto of machinations.
Shotgun blasts echoed the summit until he turned,
cheeks flashing in the biting cold.
A bouquet of flower petals,
explosive roses frozen in time,
sculpture at the snap of one’s fingers....

Esoteric enchantress mellifluously serenades
Abattoir hymn of threnody in this boudoir 
Quintessential embodiment of thanatopsis
Quixotic dreamscape’s lachrymose fountain
Melody of scarlet puppetry in a masquerade 
Grandiloquent gaiety phantasmagoric vitae...

Lost at sea yet the lighthouse blinds me,
crash into a cliff and a siren’s beckoning,
breast beat slowing as gravity crushes me in twilight.

As my specter bubbles to the surface,
I come by an ancient creature,
bioluminescence and teeth jagged.

He seems friendly.

Who am I to judge....

I detest cowards who cower at night's darkness, 
afraid of shadows and their own demons. 
Fear is a thief that steals courage 
and leaves only cowardice in its wake. 
Be a warrior, not a weakling. 
Face your fears, 
and let the darkness fuel your lights fire. 
Weakness is not an option....

If you look
            You will find me

            Here in the garden
                            By my favorite roses
Now black
                                      Where you buried me


                                          Signed
                                            Mommy

my first seduction 
was with a bowl of stale feta, 
a tragic affair with a refrigerator 
that wouldn't shut. 
crumbs scattered like apology, 
i whispered sweet nothings, 
"eat me, make me whole”
the hinge creaked, 
and i poured out, 
wanderlust in the cheap cheese, 
another unloved abandon, me....

Too many sailors who have lived to tell,
Her siren song permeates,
day by day it fell.
Luring in ships to crash,
break,
splinter on cliffs,
She masters ethereal crescendos,
opera riffs.

Each day leads boats astray,
the reel of the sea witch,
Nay terror,
her voice pitch rich is much more bewitch....

“Ready or not?”
Footfalls and bosom heaves
Through the forest of trees 

Someone please come rescue me
Dragging across the leaves
“Ready or not?”

Silence that’s brief
Duck barely dodging axe’s swing
Footfalls and bosom heave

“Someone help please”
Echoes my cacophony scream
Through the forest of trees...
