My shoulder blades’ girth played the role of a harbinger As bony as I got; the more I saw myself as a skeleton Malnourished, malevolent, maladjusted malaise Mocking in malformed metaphors to try to explain There’s a concession of an all-dead jury saying my name A prosecutor in a straitjacket who thinks I’m insane HazyContinue reading “Orwellian Glass House: A Short-Story about Despair, Redemption, and Hope.”

The Dark Crush: A Poem of Contradiction and Obsession
He’s sitting in his shadow, match lit, iron sight shifting with his arrow. Da Vinci with a trebuchet, resentment at a younger age. Don’t think I’ve ever fucking been the same. Stay still please, so I don’t have to ever aim. Heartbeat on my cabernet, gospel on the interlude. Never into hurting you, but that’sContinue reading “The Dark Crush: A Poem of Contradiction and Obsession”
Boys Don’t Cry: The Paradox of the Wolf and the Sheep
Over evolving. Dopamine soberly blossoms Noted and jotted in, like an old scripture Bludgeoning forecast, people make what they want of him Hold whispers. Cold shivers. So obviously rigged Language is bothering. Thunderstorm on the brink On the cusp of oblivion, and never stopping to think Or wonder, what wanderlust awaits Waverly love Dozens foreshadowing.Continue reading “Boys Don’t Cry: The Paradox of the Wolf and the Sheep”
Again, and Again: A Poem of Repetition and Resignation
Again I hear footsteps awaken the creaks in the floor Again. Who the fuck’s at the door? Nightstand machete laid neatly in drawer. Revolver ‘neath queen mattress, in case of a quarrel- But- There’s nothing. Just repentance, contempt, intentions dissolved. Gunpowder, protein drinks, and penniless thoughts. Could’ve sworn there was something. Apparently not. Hear aContinue reading “Again, and Again: A Poem of Repetition and Resignation”
What the Fuck Do I Do With This Hot Chocolate?
The moon The moon, The sun The sun, the moon Press mute Succumb Doomed, doomed, doomed I’m doomed. We’re done Who, who, who Are you? Who are we? What are we? Collusion Contusions. So very meek You’re a cup of hot chocolate On the fiercest winter morning Feel the blisters forming Whistle through the windowsContinue reading “What the Fuck Do I Do With This Hot Chocolate?”
The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Mad Scientist: A Poem of Passion and Pain
Mix gunpowder and moments of silence Gather components you’d author with smiles Combustible crossover, lost in your eyeballs Gifting a locket, heart-shaped alloy Wishing upon an asteroid comet Because… It’ll turn to debris before it reaches me Countdown from three, wishing your frown obsolete Douse gasoline, that sets blaze to decree Miscellaneous, mundane Mistletoe mainframe,Continue reading “The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Mad Scientist: A Poem of Passion and Pain”
Toyota Prius: A Poem of Abandonment and Escape
I recognize this abandonment pattern. Neglect and avoid, pushed to the side, suffocate and deprive. Overwrought. Rush to get over the noise. Stiff arm tactical markup. One and death on the goal. Practically harmless. Red zone ballad demarcation. Change is in constance, conscientious tailored departure. Mademoiselle, I’ve heard you tell me this often. Understandable. HatchetContinue reading “Toyota Prius: A Poem of Abandonment and Escape”
Disassociation and Cursive: A Poem Letter to Dissociation and Regret
You spoke passionately, breathing in between; about how we could practically look at each other without speaking and know what we mean. Hold my hands. Slight facial gesture, radiant beam. On the cusp of extraordinary meaning, emboldened by components both constructed with a definition of love. Uphold the only person I wouldn’t give up. UltralightContinue reading “Disassociation and Cursive: A Poem Letter to Dissociation and Regret”
I Know What I Need: The Quest for Fulfillment Amidst the Turbulent Rapids of Existence, Where Inner Desires Clash with External Realities
I don’t know what I want, Whether it’s surface dwelling alone at the swamp Or an oak in a marsh, soul-searching proverbial want. We’re more or less spawns of monsters nobody needs, You were my star-spangled banner, and I was taking a knee. Subterranean breeze, vitamin pond, still smell your perfume, Every once in aContinue reading “I Know What I Need: The Quest for Fulfillment Amidst the Turbulent Rapids of Existence, Where Inner Desires Clash with External Realities”
Fötter Day Reverie: Suburban Breeze and Whispered Dreams
You can hear the suburban chime, zirconia vertebrae, pearly white spine. Glass thrown in stone houses, a regular suburban night, whirring, rewinding. Chronicled childhood in olive drab paint, monocle glass. Wormwood and bottles of Shawshank dissolute solitude. A wanderer who wallows in the maze en route, delaying for tomorrow, never promised today. A virgin diary,Continue reading “Fötter Day Reverie: Suburban Breeze and Whispered Dreams”
Stephanie and Paulette: A Melodic Tale of Affection and Confusion
Blossoming beauty, bud bellowing britches, We reap what we sow. I’m sorry, my harvest rescinded. Behold love at first sight, to love at the last minute, I melted my nucleus because my base was acidic. It’s not that we grew apart; we just didn’t grow to begin with. I want to create a spark thatContinue reading “Stephanie and Paulette: A Melodic Tale of Affection and Confusion”
Asterisked Emotions: Navigating Love and Pain
I’ve become receptive to any piece of endearment, As if getting you to talk to me is some sort of achievement. The curve of your lips, the forming words swirled into art, The muse from the Louvre turns my oeuvre into all, To consume what you do, with every molecule I control, Then to beingContinue reading “Asterisked Emotions: Navigating Love and Pain”
