Poetry

flow like skin

flow like
my sin
on skin
skin bent
over
from within
chasing my morning
grin


co-written I

If this tiny shuttered window to my tiny shuttered room could write music
an entire concerto would be expressed in one single note
just sharp enough, compressed and full of color like

the moment of blossom

If it could paint a picture with all the shrinking shadows of the sun
each morning a new masterpiece by noon would be undone
remembered in reverse with the blurred lines of

a future that would never come


selections from the dust bin

self, defense that was
a sacrifice
back to my life of vice
squad had me cornered
had to get out, please
show me the door
out
of my mind, you are toxic
radioactive,
language cryptic, painfully distant
an enemy unseen
clearly not your knight
but my Kryptonite
atoms spin inside, fusion
eyes glazed with pain
which cast a spell
feel drained,
my pain, small
meaningless, your gaze
squashed, irrelevant, tangential
so kind
and you are knot
to my noose, forget me
not to receive, I give
but you give,
not
a chance I stood
to help

-*-

I want to make
cover you in sweetness
So very desirable
cream and milk
a [her name] split
out of you

I want to
every part
kiss you too
cherry and chocolate
jerry and ben
creamy your skin
a mouthful
of you

-*-

you are simply
per-fect
no defect
i’ll defect
to you
feeling circumspect
i’m a wreck
simply abject
for you
i’ll learn your dialect
keep your secrets
become your subject
always protect
t-you

-*-

slept
with my laptop
again
need to stop this
dirty affair
shows me no love back
take and no give
input no output
does not calculate
right now, my life
does not compute


more green green grassy grassyness

grass and tree

grass and shade

black oak and grass

path cut through grass

fence post and grass

grass stands still
moves in waves
verdant patches
sun on hills
hisses
leg itches
sweat dripping
knee high walking
black oak shades
the darkest green
to a path
an open seam
a gate
out of this dream


a new comfort spot

u
on my mind
is a new comfort
spot
the trend
kept deep in
thought
fought the longing
but have not
forgot
u
are on my mind


a pew

what would I not
do for you
my duty, through and through
you, a priestess
me, in a pew
as your thoughts form
i do
what would I not
haven’t a clue


square 1

square 1
both bookends
greet me again
the sting, the pain
opportunity
greets me again
breathes with me
again
feel your grain
to love you with fame
flame, no restrain
to love you again & again
opportunity
is my middle name


rain on tin

sexy beats
treats
provider create
procreate
suffocate cuz
i’m not great
Alexander, the
fornicate, steak
straight, straight
so straight

-*-

please
allay your fears
peril nears
New York wears
prayers
naysayers
rope tears
split hairs
who cares? I carez.

-*-

skin
so thin
your sin
onion skin thin
a donkey I cannot
pin
carnal sin
tin, rooftop
rain on tin


noman has churned

noman
has loved u
better
been your rudder
motor
like i
have
made you
utter
His name in
vein, churned
you like butter
toes curl
to a shutter
heart rises
to a flutter
as ihave
my love
my love


Caught in the Fog

I am caught in the fog
Lack intention
Resolve, resolution
Too much reservation
Hesitation
Low vibration
Creative limbo
I am caught is this fog


Get on My Poetic Side

get on my poetic
side
lined by the
thought
you’d never
ask
me for the
honor
you with
words
are like
spells
cast like that
are rarely broken
