• Poem – “Reversing This Tide” – 5/19/2025

    I’ve been coming hereto swim in a space,undeserving of an offerof worship, of gratitude,while it mocks meat all angles.I’ve left my heartscattered, after beingfunneled througha spiral, a stateof blanketing confusionwhere what coexistsis between a beginningwith its battlefield.I must make it end,to lose more tearsthan blood, on the wayto opening a pairof solid gates, to initiatea…

    Tell your secrets,while coming closerto reveal what youhave been keeping close,locked in your heartof disdained hearts.A spell to bind us,twist me according toyour disvalued you,while I collectthese cards you’vetossed about.It was nothingto be someone todo this, for you,while you watch me,above your eager,trembling smile.Come even closer,sharing with meall you’ve wrappedon the inside,all that might burnon…

  • Flash Fiction – “Melting Lovers” – 5/18/2025

    It is an even field, an evened space between them, or that is what’s assumed. There’s a summer’s sunlight overhead, and a thousand unseen droplets of sweat from a hundred different bodies. All of them, animals. A choice is highlighted. One that acts out in doing what can be done to close this gap. Whispers…

    You found interestfrom what isolated meto become dust,to paint rustonto a motionless,frozen promise.You’ve heard mewhisper through yourparanoid ears,the sounds from withinthe emptiness of a shell.I’ve been crowdingthis world of minewith nothing butthe presence of wine,the color of yourbloodstained lips.I’ve been coveredin your presence,as secretive as hallwaysnever receiving light,as dark as their roomsconcealing your spite.You opened…

  • Poem – “Permanent Imagery” – 5/18/2025

    It was always you,forcing yourself back in,seeing me sinkin this mind,as I begin to thinkabout those words.I had said it,that I loved the onewho will eventuallyremain the one,for what that is,locked in shadow.Passions divide,expressions are widein these open laneswhere I am lost,while also found.It is a pain,one that I, for a time,will not demandits departure.For…

  • Philosophy – “Why Crisis Does Only Reveal Character” – 5/16/2025

    Strength and weakness. Knowing your limits. It’s not to say that an individual should not be encouraged from reaching further. But to know where one is, at their current time in their own life, means that whatever’s being reached for cannot be instantaneously received. Any attitude of impatience seeks to bypass where does strength and…

  • Flash Fiction – “Her Rebuilt Fortress” – 5/16/2025

    Whatever I’ve seen happen to her, stays with her, while I’ve gone to shed tears in private. If I’m to blame, she won’t admit it, and won’t lash out. It isn’t necessary. I recognize it, by myself. For I see what I’ve caused, because I’ve broken down her walls. Four of them. They closed her…

    You’ve fought,bereaving throughthose unwashed notes,tending to woundsbeneath your nails,while you’ve beendigging to uncoverliquid tragedy.Weep for more,let it be what youcome to adorewith cluttering ruinsfilling those spaces,between rivers.To building blocks,to winding clocksthat will count downthe seconds, untilyou’re underwhelmed,having finallymade your home.Treasure it, do notmeasure it to limit it,being outside that circuswhere you had oncefelt at ease…

  • Poem – “Unlike What We Imagined” – 5/16/2025

    Having covered ourselvesin quilts, stellar to beall we imagined to be.But we were deceivingword after word,believing in a promisedevoid of a future.We filled gaps with air,isolated mountains to cross,for we were just unableto fulfill our pledge,to see a need to exert,to divorce from loss.In both our visions,we failed to see theseforced scenes,these fields of fireafter…

    You’ve known me,when this instinctbecomes what Iwill begin to breatheafter I’ve craftedthe summer, for bothof our sunrises.From two distinct,delicate horizons,we recognize that wecan quite easilybreak this, but we’vegone on to believein our search.Light spills around,shadows are endedfrom their long stretch,for we cast none.On continuing to rise,we will meet each other,greeting each otherunder dire expectation.To explore…

    Subtle footstepsstill go swiftlywhen following fromshadows behind,where light meltedto form a shade.Something tells methat feelings will,at last, be reversedwhen I am reviewingwhat I’ve rehearsed.It will be when Irecognize what soundsI’ve been echoingwhile stuck in this maze,losing sleep from what Ihad vowed to keep.Corners toss me,flavors confuse mewhen I am deepin this interconnectedpassion, from memoriesstill too…

  • Poem – “Dancing in Our Tears” – 5/14/2025

    An ocean’s waveslap at our feet,feeling what our heartshave long craved,as we staggerto fill our cups.Limping onward,walking these circles,these reaching ripplesthat decreasethe length to theirtrembling stretch,the deeper we sink.We must surrenderwhatever we rememberabout our failureto cusp realityin a tear-stainedhourglass.It will bring us up,even if that is toa flaming noose.It might end us,or it might revive…
