My Goodness. My heart. Words I never want to repeat. I didn’t know this is how it would be. You’re an anomaly in nature, you’re silence when the sound is on. You’re a cherry stem, Marfa lights, the escapist nature of the Taos hum. Have you ever heard yourself laugh and caught yourself falling inContinue reading “My Goodness, You’re a Miracle”

The Poacher’s Liability Issue
There’s a point that I’m reaching Metal-stained depression that questions my poise. Soy sauce and Som Tam alleviate my diseases Witherspoon Street, right off of Des Moines. I’m better off. Leave me- said in telekinesis Park my car in dimmed city streets, seemed so adroit. As a meditative escape- to break free and avoid theContinue reading “The Poacher’s Liability Issue”
Coffee Stains and Bloodstains: A Poem of Addiction and Love
I feel like an addict. I whispered as I fell asleep by myself Waking up in shivers and zero responses to my pleading for help. I’m normal, I’m honest Sitting beside a two-week headache and a toilet of vomit Telling my Tylenol I’ll be back before dawn. Another broken statement soaking in promise. My mind’sContinue reading “Coffee Stains and Bloodstains: A Poem of Addiction and Love”
Tiny Little Voices: How I Learned to Embrace My Emotions and Overcome Apathy
My comprehension of human relationships has been severely impaired by the cumulative effects of my past experiences, which have left me scarred, traumatized, and besieged. This sounds like the beginning of a very sad movie, butI guarantee you there’s hope. The term “relationship” itself becomes vague and ambiguous here, further complicated by my incessant andContinue reading “Tiny Little Voices: How I Learned to Embrace My Emotions and Overcome Apathy”
The Existential Crisis of Kissing Your Iris: A Poem of Obsession and Delusion
They’re psychoanalyzing my pride. I’m ignoring the obvious: a war vet with ear plugs on the fourth of July. You’re that pyrotechnic glow on my mind. This memoir is a token of antisocial expression. Our vermilion bond was anecdotal at best, demoralizing. You’ll only ever see it as a victimless crime. siphoning bits and piecesContinue reading “The Existential Crisis of Kissing Your Iris: A Poem of Obsession and Delusion”
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”
Stone and Ashes: How You Haunt Me
Soul is sequestered. Hanging fruit in a forest of giants. Praying for atonement or holy alliance. Molding my bones. Soul seller, solely uncensored. Sling to be highest bidder, sold to Goliath. Liquor bottle pried in my fingers. Corroded and weathered. Like sewing a sweater, stitching holes I’m developing. Alone in his centerpiece, exhausted, but smiling.Continue reading “Stone and Ashes: How You Haunt Me”
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”
How to Survive the Hellhound: A Lyrical Exploration of Trauma and Healing
Dear anyone, Heartbreaking, shattering, crushing, blasphemous, bludgeoning, over-saturated. Don’t be surprised if we can’t be separated. Science needs a new invention to mend hearts or a swab test for tears, where a story is written by the chemicals in them. And the chemicals in them are only ones that I can create with my signatureContinue reading “How to Survive the Hellhound: A Lyrical Exploration of Trauma and Healing”
Rorschach’s and Gunslingers: The Last Time You Said Stop
Sigh I don’t get it. They tell me to write happy things. But the thing is, you don’t feel the need to discuss your happiness on paper when you’re happy. You just embrace the moment and live it. I don’t want to talk about that. Momentary silence. Dusk-lit bedroom apartment. Buzzing of cars from trafficContinue reading “Rorschach’s and Gunslingers: The Last Time You Said Stop”
Soul Baby Soul: A Poetic Journey of Passion and Regret
It’s almost complete, the distance between falling apart, From whispering secrets, a sequence you act nonchalant, Like a purist in person. I told you to stop kissing my heart, Questioned why, choking back tears, “au revoir,” So insincere. A brassiere draped over post-traumatical scars, And it’s worthless. Holding hands under Jupiter and Mars, Deafening stare,Continue reading “Soul Baby Soul: A Poetic Journey of Passion 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”
