Carousel
...Stones left unturned for those that seek truth among the urns.
I care not to seek out answers requiring a life’s sacrifice of family and name.
Secrets revealed. Kingdoms rise, then disappear. Bur...

I am Back once more
...I’m back once more.
I spent a long night contemplating which people to remove from my life, the ones who drag me down.

From Shadow to Shine
...Skills were suppressed
while others took flight
a way of life put to rest
another came to bear
Scratched in moonlight
held on for a wild ride
spread across reality
like ash in shifting wind

Queen Quite
...O kabab merchant, thy skewer!
Fresh fish on the line!
And, moreover, in a blur -
Life, be unrefined!
Tangled are the strands of Fate?
Causality, roam!
Make a meal of small, ye great?
Lie dow...

My mother's womb, that dark cathedral of safety where time didn't know how to count the day...

ORES
...I met them at work,
Dressed perfect for this art—
Crop tops that teased,
And curves played their part.
They were mining,
The rarest of ores—
Soft as glass,
Pure as stars.
No shovels in ha...

...when the sky breathes poetry
through sepia-streaked silence,

I swallow sizzling st...

A long time coming
...6 months is a long time.
A long time to be "just friends" with a hint of something else.
Talking to you makes the overthinking quiet
My usually constantly moving brain stills
And for once I can’t...

The meadow's bathing in silver light of the moon; it is such a perfect night
Loverboy sighs at the darkness, candlelight dimming as t...

Neon God
...I do not want a neon God
Orange bright
Flourescent pink, glowing light
For all to see
In darkest night
I'd rather have
The subtle charm
With strength to hold in every arm
Or patient hope

Shallow Hours

By words morose,
Their hollow powers seem mundane,
But are much worse.
Being Lonely in a crowded room,
With empty words
Muttered by survivors;

Sprawl Of Quiet Stars

inside a space where quiet trails
I watch a starscape reel through the night
to taste new charms of heaven's sprawl--
lucent the new light waking laced leaves
like a satin ribbon tw...
