Blankly, gazing out at you Void of everything I once knew. A pickle jar, Emptied. Tongue’s grit Rough and sore. ~~~ Don’t spoil Your sour mood, For me. Or anyone. But lick your lips, And twist tight, What you might. Until the seal stops, And your wounds have healed. ~~~ Words retracted, Or withheld. Kept … Continue reading Pickled Crow – July 26, 2019

Tarrying For You – July 29, 2019
Lingering in my lust, For what I can no longer touch. Breathing fire, To taste the Sweetness. Dessert before dinner Leaves nothing Forward, After it’s expired. To begin again, One foot heads In a direction While the other tarries In the hunger I’ve built up For you.

The Passerby – July 31, 2019
Disturbed. A lifetime used To wonder, But never reach out. ~~~ Time is dirty, Muddy prints left. Tracking down Nostalgia lane. ~~~ Doors opened, That should have stayed closed. Latched and locked, But picked with curiosity. ~~~ Trouble spilling on the floor, Swept clean. Specks of dust remain, Undisturbed. ~~~ It is present, But invisible. … Continue reading The Passerby – July 31, 2019
Below Me – July 22, 2019
Flying, soaring No need to come down. Between the droplets of clouds, Arms slicing the crisp, wet air. Carving out a home A place where the pull Of everyone, everything Floats far below me.
Closed – July 17, 2019

My Reverie – June 13, 2019
The sky’s exhale takes flight, I’m drawn Beneath its branches. The law of Attraction is simple. The inexplicable Beauty of The trees breathing in the breeze. A gift of life in motion So pure, unaltered to the naked eye. Praised by The attention Of those who see. Just as it’s supposed to be, I want … Continue reading My Reverie – June 13, 2019
When You Know Me – July 14, 2019
Covered with a new skin I dream of the day I surface In front of you. Naked, Just like the first time. We’ll judge, And see what we want to see, But will you love me For who I have become? Shell cracked Stepping in front of you, This is me. Will you love me, … Continue reading When You Know Me – July 14, 2019

The Looks – July 3, 2019
Toxic, The looks we give. Disappointment in a bottle. Scorching the fibers That build their self-esteem.
Smile Through – July 9, 2019
The hardest thing to do Is smile through All the pain carried Deep inside of you.
Contagious – July 9, 2019
The energy spewed, Spit across the room. Spattered, Exerting an electricity, Contagious. Passing from generation to generation Gaining strength as it travels, Further from the epicenter of its origin. Leaving a trail of tears, frozen. No longer knowing why, But—-just—is.
