Your cotton colored crevices continue to shine under the ivory of your lies

Piling up dents of truths as your beauty allows forgiveness from demy goddess eyes

Smooth bent truths broken loose in a

Once autumn your eyes

stitched a chrome cloth

all those diaries once written

on paper disappear lost

in a hearts journal-

hair of char gave meaning

to the copper of seasons the sons

we brought into existence

now sing our imprints

and why-

what is love and then death

as like infusing iron

My thoughts had begun to perish

When a cloud of sand engulfed me

Like the whirlpool I stood silent...aghast

Tiny memories flooded me

Ringing softly like the

Sound of music

Thousands of Wind chimes echoed

I could see

Through their shenanigans

Playfully clicking In a far away land

A thin layer of dust hiding under angled radars makes the plastic cup look like it’s

Floating

Moonlighting in a supermarket with frozen purpose and my other friend the taroof search

Wheeling past the slabs of the dead and the zombie choosers.

There isn’t enough energy to scream and push so gingerly I pick pushing

Never Was.

I feel it deep inside when I think of the time that never was
And how it was always tied up in reasons of just because
With all those declarations that were made and then lost
I never thought I would have so much nothing at such a

the red sea turns yellow with passion and the dog stands guard

the woman drinks a little and the man is violent barred. what a star?

enough of the cauldron the white wizard dreams to the conjourer

magick doesnt really exist only in the fairy tales that we live

sponge down that car and whistle

An hour collapsed.

The seconds wailed

at the sands inertia.

Minutes seldom differ

when the times

refuse to change.

eyes glazed upon your face

pulpit then the middle place

redeemed set upon the knees

im set for the best case

scenarios of love to handle

freeze circle the ring

enter the dragon for a mute

and then the bells ring clear upon the thunder clouds

like a sunday morning bright in heaven

and the

I love the way you melt in my mouth

caramel swirls

dulce leche promises

cinnamon kisses

chocolate whispers

dripping vanilla creme


I love the way you give me rough candy

hard candy

that takes a long time to suck

and lick

and how the sticky sweetness

clings to us


You say

I said leave me alone

And you know that’s what she done.

So I’m driving by her house tonight

Wondering where she’s gone.

 

Then I’ll have a drink or two

at a bar where we used to meet.

The band will play I’ll drink some

The Show Is Over.

I feel my time is done here
I feel I have said all there is to say
I have done all I needed to do
I played a game that never went my way.

My heart is heavy with emotion
Soaked in my blood

He walks out of the battle pen dripping with ink
knowing for certain he was placed in that moment in time
to put words to these things
these stories that shift the atmosphere
bump into each other
causing friction and storm
He foretold this in way no one will believe
He’s there when widows weep
