    Poem – “My Love, a Destroyer” – Romance – 5/10/2020

    Where will the waters take you? Love did set its sails upon your back. You may float Down the stream, to the next dream, Where eyes are upon you, in the newest storm Unleashed upon your worn soul. Where will land drive you Over its bowels where fetid tunnels run, Above to its mind, where…

    Poem – “Forever Understanding of You” – Romance – 5/10/2020

    As I stand here, Watching how the oceans form At the command of sadness, I am merely here to take a few shared breaths That my weeping beloved expelled, too. Little did I realize, That her sadness was mine, too. Little did I acknowledge That the Earth was hers, too, To bleed for. To hold…

    Poem – “You’ve Long been the Dust in my Eye” – Romance – 5/10/2020

    Why must I, Swipe a single tear, Always a single tear, From one solitary eye? Its boldness in blue coloring, Its boldness in shaded contours, Has come from some deep well Full of emotions from Hell. You’ve long been the memory, You’ve long been the tragedy. The woman meant to be my destiny, Now broken…

    Poem – “Blind and Miserable” – Romance – 5/10/2020

    The way that scorn lifts a needle To thread my existence into shape, To weave an unforeseen future, Filled with great uncertainty, Makes me hold a blade at my wrists, Fills my eyes with the Earth’s oceans, Empties my heart of its contents For something else to be grown, Never me. The world has long…

    Poem – “Let me Devour you” – Romance – 5/9/2020

    Let me open your velvet chest To see your golden heart. Let me bite the apple To make into existence, our sin, Our plunge, Into the deepness, Into the openness Of our hands, Both our hands Upon the heart of yours. You see everything, from above. You bleed everything, far below To make the shallow…

    Poem – “What I don’t Understand” – Romance – 5/9/2020

    Was it madness, Or was it joy? The fields where you roam, Picking lilac from the thorns Causes pain to never cease, Though only to increase. For in the shadow of you, You are as much adorable As the love I once called out to you Deep in the grove, Where pastel-like coloring to leaves,…

    Poem – “Arms Wrapped around the Unfolded Form” – Romance – 5/9/2020

    Why do we lift, Why do we escape Deep into the form of a woman? That blush against the skin, That subtle kiss on a whim, That way to speak into the ear of a listener Who will sigh, in return. The embrace, and the breath, The catching of her falling tears, Those miserable fears…

    Poem – “I still Love you” – Romance – 5/9/2020

    Keep your hardened heart On the road, ahead. Let your eyes take you somewhere, Far ahead. I wish to kiss each strand of hair, That blows with the wind. For I still love you, Dearest thing. Your eyes were the calm in my storm, While your heart, I held fast upon Like the most treasured…

    Poem – “Two Faces Apart” – Romance – 5/8/2020

    We sleep in graves Shrouded by something like petals, Offered to us. We kiss Only the soil above us, Among raining tears, From Heavens that share our grief. Will we still plead To God, above, To offer us love? I am plentiful in my sadness, You were, with your smile upon a twitching face, The…

    Poem – “The Unstable Heart” – Romance – 5/8/2020

    Here is where The Heavens quake, As hearts break, As snow falls To make the tides rush in their white Glimpses to fresh eons Of something painless. The unstable heart Is but a while to be born, Then an instant to be dead, Faltering in every move To be heard, like what rumbles in its…

    Philosophy – “Diversity is the View of the Surface” – 5/8/2020

    For those who say that diversity sees more than appearance, they would be wrong. Diversity focuses on appearance, and nothing more. Artificial diversity is objectively different from natural diversity. Natural diversity, that exists among the the varied species in a wilderness, is different from a bio-engineered species meant to exist in that same wilderness only…

    Poem – “Black Hair and Streaming Eyes” – Romance – 5/8/2020

    All the ocean, divided in two, Seems to run over your cheeks. I am locked in the deep, Divided from you. Why have no birds ever seen the sun When we could fly? Why have no whales stayed at the surface When we could breathe? I am lost at the bottom Of all your tears.…
