  • Poem – “Returning the Wound” – 10/2/2023

    On that path,removing watchful facesfrom streaked sidelines.On this stretch,leaves are decoratingwhere progressbecomes cleared stains,on a revealing road. Landing down, a downpourclears what stills itself,to remain in thisheated outpouringof crude honesty. Running down, from eyes,carving rivers on a formless shore,tides are flowing througha sickness that needs its saving,from that eternal craving. Healing begins at a woundon…

  • Poem – “I Am Filtered Through” – 10/2/2023

    Misplaced thought,misunderstood notionthat begged an emotion,a teardrop to create a markthat solidified our start,from a liquified stateas we arrived, too late. Here, is loss,as you are beginningat an ending I held,at a distance, in mind,as I have been waitingfrom far behind. There, from across,I have let sadness crawlup to me, displaying to meits constant renewal,…

  • Poem – “Entangled in Dark Threads” – 10/1/2023

    Spent heart, final remarkto send me wishing for a secondthat will lift you from a fading scar.Tired eyes, written reprise,while these lips ache for moreto burn after, to burn beforeI walk ahead, again. My eyes drop countless spotswith similar angles,to mirror a reflection,your resurrection. Your hand slipped with the rain,that dances off rough pebbles,on a…

  • Poem – “A Breath Too Late?” – 9/28/2023

    Sequence it,a final dropletfrom an eye,for an aftermath,where shelter standsforever, if we meant to everremain gathered. Spell it, relate to it,while faces are stayingin their frozen expression.Ice is another layerupon those miles of grief; what do we dig through,in the rust, upon the crust,as fire melts a momentinto deceitful lust? We want, we cravefor something…

  • Poem – “Gathered for Storms” – 9/28/2023

    The last of us to gowill be the first of us to remain,daunting and hauntingupon skeletal remains.Tragic kisses are borninto farewells, for sculptureswhere a depictionstays with its inscription. Love must abide bythose who were awareof what was slipping bywith the rain, under shelterfrom storms and pain. Life would not rewritewhat keeps itself roped,around necks of…

  • Poem – “A Face Among Fog” – 9/27/2023

    I cannot make out a breath,lost among silver pathwaysstraight into desertion,since she’s released her owninto that crowd. A disappearance,a repeated reappearancethat I couldn’t bring backto its original way.It became loston its silver streak,with tears remaking trails,having fear as its sails. She’s a tower high,an anchor low.I am kneeling into a grave,finding nothing to savebut those…

  • Poem – “The Lesser Who Favors You” – 9/27/2023

    Am I not that signwhom you’ve shadowed?An anchor has kept you kneelingin hopes, for something elseto drop, to keep you close, or closer. In love, with a methodof having your arms outspread,your mouth wide open,hoping for what will connect,will come to rekindlea familiar rush. Who will you find,who will come from behind?He will rope his…

  • Poem – “Your Loosened Mask” – 9/26/2023

    Will you ever beanything other than anotherroaming, scentless petal,floating always withinthose ripples,of your current time?In finding shells upon a shore,you’ve become hollow.In seeking Hell,with nothing of yours to adore,you’ve stayed to wallow. Will that mask,hiding your tearsfor your colorful portrait,ever come loose?You’ve driven daggersfor open wounds,for open doors, but you arenever coming undone,while you have…

  • Poem – “Letting Your Stones Sink” – 9/25/2023

    I pull lettersfrom open chests,carve white into greywhere memories fade,are washing awayinto discoloration. I’ve taken those lettersforming sentences,at a sentencing to a lovethat wouldn’t stop breathing. I felt that rushof cold air, from barren lungs,when pain floatedup from an ocean’s bottomto meet me, to chastise me,for what I couldn’t believe. I had to let goof…

  • Poem – “Barest of Autumn Trees” – 9/25/2023

    Torn through, dense fibers,of your ceaseless repression.Are you growing, with this vanityin knowing that you are yearningfor something that is stirring? I have lifted your veil,drifted down your throatto your heart, decorated in embers,from piles of rotten kindling. I have remembered your tale,as one more raindropfor an endless ocean.There had never been a seed,nor anything…

  • Poem – “If We Mean to Bleed” – 9/24/2023

    Fatal silhouette,who would you bewhen you are reminding meof what cannot be?I am losing the ideal,helping myself, letting myselflet go of your hand,letting you fallto those unknown depths. You remain, in mind,choosing to be behindunder earth, buried to bethe kin of your kind. You remain as a stainon this damaged heart,strangled by its own veins,written…

  • Poem – “Resist Me” – 9/24/2023

    I know I’ve been cruelthrough saving nothing morethan a shard from a broken mirror.I bled you to keep you warm,while I judged your fearsto not be your comfort, because I thought that holding youwould mean to sink intoyour thoughts, where you are gathered. I thought to understandsomeone, who was hungby one delicate strand.One thin wireof…
