The Edge of Elysian
Medusa lives in these trees she sings of this breeze cries with those leaves The branches pick and they preen form shells around soft carcasses marbled and pristine Crackling vines across rooted cemeteries She exists between earth and sky water and hell vividly unseen
-
absent
A wild rose blooms in a bottle of darkness grass fields of shrubs perturbed by silence There are no forms of existence here
-
idleness
There’s a stillness in the air that only comes when nightfall descends All the birds are burrowed in their nests wind whistling rustling their feathers Soft waves of snores hit your ears And when the rain hits cars flitter by cracking asphalt beneath the tires like pellets of the ocean …

Ode to Autumn
These leaves come down as if it’s snowing out here I watch as the wind kisses those branches makes those fronds frolic with the pavement They make up a kaleidoscope of reds and oranges purples and yellows they ring stardust upon my cheeks And when it rains here it showers heaven…

Missing Daisies
What does it feel like to be missed? Is it like looking at the stars and they finally gaze back at you? I imagine it’s like a four leaf clover wanting to be found how winter welcomes spring all the snowflakes kissing tulips Do you miss me? I like…

layers
She splayed out like coral dust and lavender sheaths Rose water leaves and honeysuckle buds I would have died for a touch

The Crow (is) Awakening
It rains for days on end here transforming from light pallets to boisterous drops It doesn’t bother the crows they flap those obsidian little wings spurring on tidal waves I’m afraid I might drown here

Tidal Waves
Let’s go to the end of the world darling paint that grass golden light up red streaks in the sky The sun will follow us cast rays of amour the glow shall light up your skin I’d trace that path until the ends of this earth

Song Without Words
There are words in the wind little sonnets that I’ve made up just for you It carries my tune my remorse and if you were to listen hard enough you could feel how I yearn for you darling But that breeze flows past you it ruffles your hair kisses your cheeks…

Complacent Mirrors
You had eyes like the raging sea airy moons It was either soft ceruleans or dappled iron Freckles of speckled suns the orb of Neptune Two hundred and fifty years until we are switched A sharp crescent of Pluto is what you become I still dream of…

adam’s ale
loving you was like a riptide you could take me in and spit me back out you only did what nature told you to do and it ruined me
-
cirrus
I search for you like birds do the clouds With strips of noctilucence and bitters of cotton I’d follow you on the mare’s trail

Evergreen, You’re My Favorite
I welcome you like the Evergreens do the rain With shaky branches and fallen leaves I am a disaster for you Rough patches of dirt and mildew I’d mold this earth just for a touch With cold winds but hotter suns I yearn for you Am…
-
paths
There are dainty dew drops that kiss your cheeks little one One day with thinly veiled envy I saw that bead travel across your lips What I would have given just for a mere taste just to be that sensation

Halcyon Days
I imagine that loving you, darling would be a forest fire long days in the Sahara trying to breath under water Maybe you are those riptides the ash to this circle of life The sun sets while you rise you are not to be trifled with yet I hold you…
