Palaver Sermons
It couldn’t have been long Maybe six months Eighty-seven thousand and sixty hours Perhaps it was decades, darling Everyday in your presence multiplied into eons Every moment aligned perfectly So perfectly I’m sure we were together in every single dimension every parallel universe constellation The galaxy shifted…

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…

Between the Constellations
There is a world inside of your eyes Speckles of Orion and thunderstorms Andromeda and passion Wet hot desire burnished deeply into those amber irises You gaze at me with a devotion so pure smeared white and gold As if I am your providence like you are the…

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…

love beyond the frost-line
I was molded out of clay You spread your hands across me effacing me Smearing Sculpting You have made every past deed in my life your own Carved your fingers against a three dimensional object Formed our very own Big Bang Copernicus systems meeting up where…

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…

Sweet Bergamasque
She was nothing sweet like Bergamasque Could’ve had bits of Mozart in her sprinkles of Requiems yet she didn’t do it for the dead She did it for the ones who couldn’t stand her essence yet craved her memory A solemn treaty of sentiment Words that could never…

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…

Whiskey and Murakami
“Guts have to go for the long haul. Curiosity’s like a fun friend you can’t really trust. It turns you on and then it leaves you to make it on your own – with whatever guts you can muster.” -Haruki Murakami Are you drinking right now darling? She would ask me when…

Psykhe’s Plea
You were born from the tips of a butterflies compass Systematic members that form a figure eight as you take flight But you are paper thin So thin darling We can all see right through you To the spear that’s engraved into that heart of yours You would have thought it…

Requiem for Icarus
It sounded like a calm day on the shore wind rushing rustling hair the color of classic films you’d feed me with breakfast at Tiffany’s serenade the moon to me with bits of passion I blush the same color as the setting sky and melt with you It was the color of…

Peitho’s Muse
She kisses like an artist would Meticulous with bits of the raging sea etched onto her tongue It would lap away at me just like that sand and I could almost taste it When she would hover above me Only she would be able to distinguish which notes to…

Fairy Dust and Curses
Her voice used to sound like a finely tuned violin Violent strips of Rachmaninov that we used to try and chose all night Those strings came up unmatched when she would laugh It always amazed me how easily beauty came to her as if she kept it in her back pocket A…

These Ties Unbind
You had an oak wood bookcase that lined one side of your room but you kept books scattered everywhere some wide open others had bookmarks hanging out the end I had no idea how she had enough time to get so many They were arranged in a way of various styles colors…

The Evolution of Stars
Those stars were so clear in that sky I felt like I could reach out and grab them and place them right in the palm of your hand that you hold so high to smite us lowly beings who look up to you like the moon who looks for the sun …
