Yoko One

Masochism evolved the saint Each turn was begging awareness from the pain We all take turns, swinging high and testing fate There is no fulfillment in relent There’s just connecting higher planes   Who? The lamp in the room What? Finds stillness in the wind. When? When being summoned Where? Jay street Why? “There is…

Melt your Heart

But if you had the words You seem unable to find If you had the freedom You needed to walk your lips to mine Would that save us any time? While I’m digging for your lines Seeking your intentions, hoping to find The blue print to our design I saw you string this bind Still, would…

Tell Me A Story

Egg shells need keeping Looking after for, not for those still sleeping Through life that needs believing in Yet you spill yolks for being keen on warm hands That can’t discern from fast folks and end up being had. I have to be honest My sash has been torn from my chest My eyes close more than…

Follow the Sun

Be kind to the distance. Be patient with resistance. Love with persistence. Who? Human What? Awaken When? Death Where? Within Why? Irony

Sharing is Caring

You come inside Ready or not Did I say I was like you? Can you read all of my thoughts? I’m sure you try Your body seems kind Enough to take mine Into consideration Still you come inside Ready or not I’ve found myself in another web, caught You don’t have to read my thoughts…

Don’t Need No Body

Handed over Sacrificed Her eyes released, left petrified In hopes of a marigold paradise Flowers fill eyes with words to spell Broken words too soon befell Fragrance to cover foreseen cries Veils roll over cautionary lies Iris fills a sunny flower hue Blind as gold mirroring false in her truth Why not grow a garden…

Love Me Like You Do

The leaves give in to thieving air The trees exposed for bones are rare This time is now for taking care Shape shifting is for letting Letting in & letting go If you could see, you might know You might show, you might see And never grow Branches dance without a care Stripped away of…

Lidocaine

Nose runs deep Candy forgets to be sweet Cheeks turn to roses Body freezes, losing its heat Mind goes Wherever the wind blows Can’t discern who to trust Who to keep While kindness creeps through a stranger’s teeth Can’t keep up with feet Limbs become dimembered meat Give to you, this torso Conquerings for the feast But…

Origami

None of you is real until my arms have laid inside you You cannot seek still until a body rests beside you I have every yearning to be the light uncovering all the lies you Hold against me in this borrowed coat That I can’t seem to find my way into Let me be the ground to…

The Zoo

We live in a magical zoo So I gift to you this wanderlust view May you fearlessly take in all that you do As our expansive oceans embrace and support you May you tread forward determined and true Follow your heart as the sun Guides you through A menagerie of life Bright, like a morning…

Shhhh…I’m fine

I’d say you sound fine, but I’m reading your words Distilling your line as it twists through my mind Reading your words through my eyes Sounds so kind I’d say you want mine To reflect a like mind Picking at letters that Blur as the time Pushes miles between dots in our I’s I’d say…

Roses Dipped in Thorns

It wouldn’t be home without you. Mufflers sit still in damp rooms Lights lay heavy Keep tombs No life to the means you create Fill seconds with breath to saturate Minutes, when minutes could not relate Lungs vacate the premises Heart holds its state It just wouldn’t be home without you. Keys hang heavy with…
