Need or Bleed?
Posted on December 9, 2017
You need me. I bleed you. When you understand the difference, then you will understand my pain.
Will You Be My Runaway Muse?
Posted on December 8, 2017
I have two coins behind my eyes, mirrors I use to self-reflect, I see runaway women walking in the corridors of my mind, their feet blackened with holy dirt from the promised land, they peel back my thoughts, like skin from rotting apples, smearing the dripping fruit, on the walls of my brain, painting dream […]
Piano Player
Posted on December 6, 2017
Hey piano player, I can hear you playing downstairs as I sit in my naked room in a state of tomb gloom. Those notes press through the walls and like wild flowers thrusting out of white sand they bloom into the other side, into my empty room. They shuffle through the old crackling paint as […]
I Wish I Wrote You
Posted on November 28, 2017
I wish I wrote you. The syllable count of your facial features is perfect. The way your hair flows rhymes with your glances. Your clothes fit like tightly lined up stanzas and when I read the words with my lips I find the meaning underneath. I wish I wrote you, but I am no such […]
My City
Posted on November 26, 2017
I live life. I hold my city’s hand, embracing her imperfect culture like she is the only one for me. I kiss the scars of the fractured streets on her body, admiration creates traffic. Her night sky hair falls on the hills of her shoulders, She smiles, her skyline shows, buildings like teeth. Her lower […]
Living Trails
Posted on October 29, 2017
I found Eden in your eyes, stories of forbidden love, temptation, and betrayal in your glances. You have a familiar face as I have a serpent’s venom trailing in my blood, black poison bubbling in my heart and leaking from my pen, a chronic low grade fever gnawing at my soul’s infected edges, black poison […]
Transfer
Posted on September 26, 2017
I jailed my inner shadow inside my pen. That dark beast howls as I make him bleed. I click my pen and cut him, he pours from the slices, click, click, cut, cut, I am mad. I am mad. I got my fingertips stained with ink. I love this murder weapon. Now, he rises from […]
Seasons
Posted on August 23, 2017
I felt all four seasons with you. Spring in your touch, summer on your lips, fall in your embrace, winter on your tongue. Don’t leave me in a state of blankness. * I feel spring in your touch, desires flourish within me, leaves tingle as they sprout, roses bloom and I place them on your […]
temple
Posted on July 5, 2017
You carry your pain like a shattered halo under your tongue, your words sometimes get caught in it and fester there. When you don’t speak I know you need me to untie your infection with the religion you find in my mouth.
Wishing Well
Posted on July 3, 2017
You are my wishing well, and I place all my wishes in you. My kisses send forbidden desires to fall into your liquid heart like coins. I listen to their splashes, making a wish with each one, They ripple from your heart to the rest of your body, waves of lust, you fill. I came to […]
