• Poem – “Bare, with Yearning” – Romanticism – 12/29/2020

    Your face remains idle,As not a tear moreCrosses your ruined eyes,For your placeBy my sideHas been the collapsing waveFor what we could not save. Place your lips, runningAcross the smears to eachOf those tapered fingers.You have feltEnough to die from,In the blackness that recedesTo a heart that bleeds. Cruelty finds moreOf you, over any song…

  • Philosophy – “Of Art, Realism versus the Artistic” – 12/29/2020

  • Poem – “We are Forever” – Romanticism – 12/29/2020

    To count the stars,We are forever,In arms wide as the seaCan scrawl a deep shapeOf us two,As we burn through our ownImage. We raisePorcelain atop ebony,Discovering light in the eclipse,Finding words where can be noneIn the surrender of a void,To the entrance of eternity. My love,How the world has clungTo the deep-blue watersAnd ever-grey skies,Holding…

    Great numbersTo your fallen debris,Masking the entire blueOcean in your heart.Concealed by the rose petalsHeld in your hands,Over your chestWhere memories are mere seedsTo sprout a futureNone have seen.

  • Poem – “Empty, Wandering Heart” – Romanticism – 12/27/2020

    Here, I holdDarkness, with a tasteOf self-mercy.Some illusion has seen me open,Of faces yet to dissolve,Of idiocies yet to departFrom a stained mind. Her heart, I hold,With dewdrops, so wideUpon the rivers where dams collapse,Where eyes close,Where fevers become coldOf veins that build the bridgeBack to home. Of me, I scoldThe iron that melts back…

    Surges of jealousy,Heartwarming anatomy,Fields where lust blooms openYour legs in the brush.Faces that stay in my mind,Not of mine. They held youDeep in arms covered by soot.Wild, as you areThe woman of my tears.I fold a curtain about your arms,To hold you where miles are certain. Kisses and brave guesses,Blood and wedding dresses,Beauty that needs…
