Between bliss and me Grows a berry tree Under molten blue pyrites Indulge in law and sequence Paid respects to the Grand Old Party Each word swallowed up by the sky A new danger behind the door His furniture, an economy of pain Pulling down the slums with his hand Street and field Let themContinue reading “Candlelight – December 2022”

I am not a human I am flowers to the grave I am a black swan to the sky I am the smell of river grass I am the starlight of the city I am the morphine sunshine I am the touch of its golden rays I am without dream The end of a brandedContinue reading “Warm Tears – October 2022”

Paper boat crossing my canvassed mind Saddle filled of spice and poison Stranded in the seed of day Returns to the edge of warmth  Heartbeat of the lake Pumps the rhythm of good and bad Running after the crest of the sky I find myself lost  The eyes of death are watching me I canContinue reading “Paper Boat – September 2022”

Nameless blue whipped across the jagged sky Beyond it, a vignette of scabs and scars scattered Across the red skin of the sun Under us, white silica salt peppered into the shoreline Take comfort in reading the words she never wrote Sounds of the bird song diner Shallow bark of the yellow void And September’sContinue reading “Snake Eyes – August 2022”

Fire of fruit From the local pharmacy Lid tight like a bow I am ready Blue-blooded nights meet Sun-kissed lips A masterful dive into the world below One last memory for the ignorant side of me Current stream digs too deep Into the crease of my mind With hills parched like sun-dried salmon Please stopContinue reading “Autumn-burnt eyes – March 2022”

Heart diving into heavy clay Forever bound and lost in this kettle of earth Poison, sweet as apple pie, spreading through my head Like wildflowers in a field Reach into my mind like a jar of candy And bleach it clean Eyes drifting into a new place An unwinding dream Filming stars in my defeatedContinue reading “Last embers – March 2022”
