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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
My Mother Used to Say: Loneliness and Faith
Hi. I’m okay. My name is … (private exchange) Oceanic delight, Mariana Trench – let’s lie on the waves Get lied to with promises as you wave your goodbyes The “we’ll soon see each other”s, the “I can’t wait to arrive”s Gesticulating giant, wide-eyed naivety shines Juan Valdez roast – a vagabond’s variant vibe CashContinue reading “My Mother Used to Say: Loneliness and Faith”
