Flirtation

Tepid waters stagnate by a spring Recycling and whirling entrapped in a cyclical whirlpool Samara Concupiscent pining Drowning in the black hole pupils And hips and legs slander Pontificate personal preferences unveiling of facets of self Exposure and disclosure Voluntarily embodiment of person-hood What is most tantalizing and aesthetic Is the unobserved Questions arise As…

Live/ Dream

Don't be woke eyes fluttering back into dream stasis a haze-like gloom ascending like flimsy balloon push the envelope, go postal forced to jump through hoops surrounded by hostilities dancing through life fragilities on the edge of  surrender with light footed feathers fasten all bolts and belts to make a plausible entrance do the two…

peaches

my freckled peaches and cream how I slide into a dream how a celestial surprise breaking of the night, a sunrise nervous broken laughter skin on your fingers peeling you bite on your fingernails avert your gaze to the horizon now I slip into a reverie of a flower stolen without permission but it is…

desire

The line between desire   And fulfillment   The reach of the finger, of the breach  Sweat beads leave a tail of remnants, followed by the quake    Run around chasing bread crumbs trailing        Scattered into the cracks liberally       A craving for a sensation    elusive without a tether      Envision a rupture       All these tectonic plates could…

Traveler

What weather worn traveler went where? all our great inventions, and honorable intentions sheltered and shattered nothing left to bear what mind erases and hibernates with pain you are the song I sing on Sunday morning the breath on the coattails of wind coalescing in a bedtime story in a dim lit room, glow-in the…
