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”

Orwellian Glass House: A Short-Story about Despair, Redemption, and Hope.
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”
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”
Nice Guys Finish Last: A Poem of Unrequited Love and Frustration
I’m stronger than you. Or I thought I was. Maybe I am. Don’t touch me. Make up your mind. Tell me you love me. Fuck me like you mean it. Mean it when you fuck me, love me when you tell me, you love me. Tell me a secret. Show me your ghosts, and I’llContinue reading “Nice Guys Finish Last: A Poem of Unrequited Love and Frustration”
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”
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”
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”
