Dégringolade Brines
This vast brine reaches out and calls to me Those same waters that took you away they still fall from my eyes It rumbles tumbles storms just like this heart of mine It spills scatters seven tears enough for each sea Ever since you left me

Vertigo
It’s funny isn’t it The fire burning in our eyes people’s eyes then at once that flame could go away I once breathed in the fresh air whilst talking to stars Took in the smell that deep aroma while serenading to blossoms Your shadow casting its own spell…

Budding Blossoms
scuttle round old ponds there are stories in petals diluted memoirs

The Gorgon Lives in This One
There were vines up her skin slender mossy streams that breathed life into her veins eyes brown like that dried up mud- sticky surfaces that burrow you into the Earth Those branches latch and tangle entwine around the crevices of her heart She had leafy shells in her hair Strands…

A Tribute To Mortals
I’ve transcended realms cascaded off the cusps of stardust and melded sharp meteorites into emeralds Procreated worlds Phenomenons of cataclysms that your kind scrounge for grovel over fluorescent spheres the old moons pray to Heavenly bodies Proclamations of glory and accolades of desire that garnish me in sharp creams litters…

Pipe Dreams
I was the byproduct of my environment Polluted and disoriented Rough concretes and twisted lead that make up cluttered saclike captivities that we burrow in We call it home although it is just a house There are no fond memories here Only bullet paved windows and exhausted blinds…

Ripe / Problems
I fell for you when the first drop of snow landed I could have been a rose in a field of your tulips your bulbs encasing my thorns But you made my petals burn obsidian Your bell shaped words prickled my husks velveted it with your lies It painted…

Fountain of Youth
There was something in the air that day sharp violets tinged with hunger It dripped from her lips Plum puddles riddled with lust skating off the cusps of her folds That vessel could drown you Nearly besiege you Form itself into a fountain with two-legged pillars encasing that…

Velvet Threads
With your hair pushed back black as the raven’s claw Intelligent eyes laughing You had an air of innocence around you Purity Richness Like the scent of a garden freshly bloomed with white roses But those same roses had thorns that could prick and pierce right through…

Whimsical Dreams
I had a dream once. One that consisted of butterflies swarming around a chain of daisies. There were lilacs and daffodils blooming high in a field that danced with the summer wind. Their petals laughed at the sun, seeming to cry out for its warmth, for their growth. It was a…

Human Shaped Rose
It was like rose petals The inner thin layer of her heart shaped like a pretty corolla She was delicate Water slipping off of her husks to gather at the roots Yet she would never grow Those petals turned translucent Combining with those rays she would try…

The Face of Janus
It’s easy enough to do it with a smile A haughty laughter that sickens you but makes their faces glimmer Produces peachy cheeks radiant with rose color tints floral shades They convulse from their bellies No matter how much your eyes beg for alleviation

Queen Anne’s Lace
How old am I and no one ever thought to bring me flowers? Not until you came along, you were the only flower I needed. A dwindle of shrubs, rough patches marring the earth scarring it with sandpaper meadows. Barley peeled back to show you what I kept hidden inside, what I was made…

Blue Mold
This city is beautiful at night with the light of the moon bustling down below on you Yet being so close to the clouds one can’t feel any of it The people are so small taking their bags in tenfold like little ants are those specs of dust The nightlights…

Take Me To The Sky
You had eyes like the setting sun fiery gold with specs of amber delicate fingers plush lips I remember first laying eyes on you our souls burning to stay reunited I would serenade you with breakfast at Tiffany’s a moon and a river and tidbits of huckleberry We spent eons…
