We met on the seam between two drownings, his cuff snagged in the kelp, my mouth lined with moss. He grinned like a man who'd forgotten the surface, held out his hand like a memory. I took it. We spun a waltz— water-logged feet brushing the roof of the wreck, the nape of our need. My dress leaked its scales, his...

Waves Onyx blue and nearly suffocating I reach Far back in my memory And beckon the lessons learned Of measured, freestyle sweeps Stretching every cell to beat high tide I look once more across our prairie sea for that dependable horizon Night shades yawn and stretch My bones give up their adrenaline lifelines My heart sheds its protective gear I let loose of my held breath I...

UNDERTOW OF NOSTALGIA the ambiguous     explored on an indeterminate surface liberating     the emotional freedom  a splintered breakaway   of     excitement & expectation improvement  emphasised     by  innovation effect& consequence emphasised  trends in full force conveying emotion  meaning   suggestion & heightened sensation a super reality in the unconscious   with enduring influence maturity denial  of instant predictions &priorities factored to emergine as motivations     I re engage THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...

Your arsenal never seemed so weak when you showed up after countless weeks we didn't speak you were living in the moment Why does this tunnel light never seem to close? it leads me down this shadow path I never even asked about that overdose. I twist I trip to intervene come in between now you're laying low You're back to slipping suits up your sleeve...

It's like a powerful undertow that pulls you down below, till darkness swirls around you and there's no place you can go. It fills your head with sadness and it buries any hope, and soon you find that sleeping is the only way to cope. You wake up every morning with that same dark inner...

Bombarding the bong like oxygen is wrong drinking alcohol like you’re a bottomless hole, The speed the base the MDMA the pace of life wastes you away cocaine and ecstasy next day looking wrecked to me Ketamine replaces vitamins face changes, unrecognisably Why buy more supplies When supplies die off and you die slow Unhappy unless under the influence,...

While casual, coral reef cruising, marlin flygirl fishing, my dinghy eyes got capsized into the shimmy-ing belly of a barracuda Crustacean curiosity got sent on an abdominal mission My dinghy eyes got capsized ... chum dummy fell overboard into the deep end Lost in an ocean of pulse infatuation, sponge orbitals didn’t realize Into the shimmy-ing belly of a barracuda, blubbering thoughts...

Have you ever faced a wave you knew could knock you down? Knowing, this, you took a stand not giving any ground? If duel-we must- with darkness to stay within the light; From darkness we must learn the ways he hides while in our sight. For in the deepest shadows lie, our crown of liberty. If we emerge we've truly...

Rap to the rhyme Rhyme for a reason A blast from the past Its the changing of the season Like Fat Joe in the undertow Homeboy is still on top not one of those rappers that drink a lot Just like fetty Wapp Making headwaves through the days Society getting caught in a purple haze Joe is out on the rap scene People these days are...
