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”
Pigment Alignment: A Celebration of Our Colors
It’s almost time for a confessional. Let’s bathe our feet while we dance Sediment wash. Baptism in the chemical sand Trekking through the barriers that barely stand In touch with invariance. Writing love letters. Barely legible; sun setters Cantaloupe sky. Dusk settles. What’s warm love in November? It’s cranberry cheeks. Your tongue tingling. Teeth SurrenderingContinue reading “Pigment Alignment: A Celebration of Our Colors”
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?”
JOURNAL: Fire Breather: A Short-Story of Self-Dialogue of Confusion and Acceptance
I’m a fire breather, spitting flames, chowing down on dragons for breakfast. Who’s up for crispy lips and tongues reduced to ash? I’ve been holding back for a while now, keeping my cool, not letting my inner fire show. My self-esteem is like a blazing sun, making the actual sun nervous. Inkblots and profound contemplationsContinue reading “JOURNAL: Fire Breather: A Short-Story of Self-Dialogue of Confusion and Acceptance”
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”
How Naivety Shaped Me: A Poem Letter to My Younger Self
This is a letter from my older self to my younger self, using the advantage of hindsight and the possibility of time travel inspired by sci-fi movies. I hope you will believe me when I say that I am you, and to prove it, I will reveal a secret that only you and I know:Continue reading “How Naivety Shaped Me: A Poem Letter to My Younger Self”
You Knew: A Poem of Compatibility and Conflict
It’s bittersweet: grapefruit sauvignon, rose-stained cherry motif, Nightmares on Wax on repeat. Please beware of the beast Swiping left, recurring sentiment, pattern repeat. Didn’t fall in love with your pictures, fell in love indiscreetly. Deciphering flaws, explicating Jungian traits Brain’s defensive mechanism, delegating safety restraints. Decoding reflexive emotive, premeditative distaste Automatic, chemical composition innate. FeaturesContinue reading “You Knew: A Poem of Compatibility and Conflict”
So Little, Little: The Story of a Tin Man’s Quest for Love
Why am I here again? Why does it matter? Handle these items with care. They are fragile. Wear a mask and lie to your closest, Keyser Söze display. Let’s erode together, hold my rusty hand in the rain. Tin man toppling, iron giant in grave. Hear the fucking rain pound its way on my armor,Continue reading “So Little, Little: The Story of a Tin Man’s Quest for Love”
The Cloak and Dagger of Our Hearts: A Poem of Unspoken Love and Pain
You’re not what I dreamed of Or hoped for, that potential was reached Long before, I harbored emotions in secret Sophomoric sequence, plot twist I saw all along Held my breath for a year, lungs turned carbon to smog Another movie screening, hold hands in between it Reach maximum zenith, whisper “never leave me” underContinue reading “The Cloak and Dagger of Our Hearts: A Poem of Unspoken Love and Pain”
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”
