My Penguin

Penguins…
They find eachother
Stick with one another
Together forever
Him with her and her with him
Through the cold and death
Loving eachother
That seeps through
Till the last breath
But if only I could find
My penguin.

Ataraxis

Tonight,
cicadas and crickets
are singing for us
the trees dance and sway
with their wind partner
a red sun listens behind her
sunset curtain
as your smile reflects
the last rays of twilight-
Your breath 
brings the sweet summer breeze
to my neck
Your voice
like wind through
the grass
Your arms tangled with me
like winding roots
Your hand is a fortress
in mine-
And in this Eden,
the daisies and dandelions
blanket beneath you and I
A starless sheet
hangs over the world
but the fireflies around us
light our sky,
tonight.

Good Morning

Birds sing their waking
Silence dead and gone
Aurora rays pierce the sky
Resurrected dawn
Sunlight drips to your lashes
Slides down to your nose
Your eyes glow in the early light
like a morning rose.

Chewing Glass

O' how thy eyes are set on me!
My trembling face turns from thee
Thy angelic hands brush my pain
The touch chills December through my veins
When you speak my spirit wisps
My days turn from stone to brass
But the night you shared a kiss
I was chewing glass.

Hate Mime

Trapped inside your box
Walls made of nothing more...
Nothing more than invisible profession
Soul tainted weak and sore..

drip..

Sorrow heart behind mask of paint
Tears strolling down the cheeks
Creating rivers of white pastel
And tales never to speak..

drip........................... drip..

Rain beats and pours
Heart's burn intense
No plans to repent
Of silent murder galore..

...bang...

Invisible voice from moving lips...
What is your plea, mime?
Pale skin and blank face
Visible hate in your eyes...

...drip.

Candy Land

Over the mountains of Hershey tint
Beyond the forest of peppermint
More sour than pounds of Lemonheads
Higher than vines of Twizzler shreds

Longer than shores of Pop Rocks
Taller than trees of lollipops
Thicker than chewy taffy stalks
Bigger than cotton candy Ring Pops

Cooler than a Winterfresh breeze
Hotter than Mike & Ike's Hot Tamales
Stronger than a Jawbreaker's pain
More colorful than a Skittle rain

All the children's wish come true
To dive in piles of sweets and goo
So be prepared for sticky hands
This child's going to Candy Land!

Braille Screams

Within the days,
                                                   eyes of ilex
                                                  lulling to the
                                                 snowy grass.
                                            Hearts and echoes
                                                  beating past.
                                         To want them would be
                                                   vox and vex;
                                             My love is silence
                                                    at its best.
                                          Speak while I am still
                                                   a living verb
                                             and not the words
                                                upon my grave.
                                             Consume me like
                                               the ocean waves,
                                        before I am nothing more
                                                  than literature.

Calypso

Head hangs
She runs away
From both my loving arms
I thought that we were bestest friends,
you cat.

Building Blocks

Building blocks and dreams,
She's the queen of her kingdom,
Imagine Nation.

Winter Whispers

Walking on her oceans of white
Frozen tears from sky unite
Reflections of Autumn's death remiss
As beautiful nightmares become abyss
Dreams of feathers cease to sing
Of geese that vanished with Autumn's wings
Wilted smiles of little flowers
Bent in vases as fallen towers
The memories that fade throughout the age
Has frostbitten the skies of winter sage
With lifetime whispers that never part
That winter still lingers in my heart.
