Pillow Talk

Head down for a conversationFace wrapped tight to block the lightCurled fists under chin in safetyFrom or in what’s shown tonight What do you want to surfaceFrom beneath the din of dayWhere movement drowns the messageAnd my masks keep you away Darkest hell or tailored heavenSo real I can taste the smokeSo warm sweat beaded Continue reading

Hold Music

The space betweenBefore and afterThe distant laughter The hate unseenThe past in tattersSwings from the rafters The intersticeBetween the timelinesAnd different skylines The smoke-made screenTaken for grantedEach memory slanted Hold hope and painIn either handHonor them bothTo understand The limbo longHallway extendedFrom where home ended The right and wrongForever blendedIn air suspended The fading songIts Continue reading

Birding

Regenerate wingLost in birthPast blood and featherLitter earth As pure snowy owlFinds new course to flySo will I Transform sighs to songAngel’s breathWords new mortal mindDid forget As bronze lyrebirdRecalls sound to crySo will I Move boldly anewFearless diveIn speed and powerCome alive As agile ash hawk Wins hunt by surpriseSo will I Transition each Continue reading

Daughter in the Rough

Carbon born cold that newly beholdsHer motherCruel crush untold, new soul and soft bonesTo smotherBearing the blame of ancestral shameUncoveredBark out the flame of the one you namedAnd othered Born in the rough before diamond’s riseTemper the infant with stranger’s eyesFrom pressure you birth your own demiseAnd call it daughter Carbon long pressed could never Continue reading

Half

Lax lashes flicker lowTo shape what sunlight showsIn linesWhen raised the piercing glowBurns colored imprints thrownHalf blindIn filtered eyes half-closedHalf light and half shadowDo findHalf hidden half disclosedBlanks filled by heart and noseAnd mind Let light growLeave what you knowBehind Tongue that touches truthTastes bittersweet of youthHalf staleRuns laps around each toothFrees words stuck at Continue reading

In Golden Hour

Unspoken pain rolled dense like the snowDrifts deep and wide that line streets we knowWhen it’s too painful to even thinkInto the couch and phones we all sink Anchors of false famil’yar stillnessWeighted by the lead of doubt’s illnessSit and sink and dream of futures lostPain compels stagnation at all cost Until sinking burnsIn golden Continue reading

Grave Reminders

Fallen feathers whiteNestle in the greenOf grass by rain renewedFallen from sure wings That soar above the cloudThat float atop the graveOf rippled waters darkThe surface of the lake The song they make is drownedBy lapping at the shoresConcealed by waves that whisperPrayers of wanting more Jeweled dragonflies can hoverOn the winds that push my Continue reading

Become

Dim skies meet grey eyes And lashes dance for rain Downpour once more Pooling puddled painOvercome with grief restrainedCloud breaks no escapeAnd mem’ries soak the droughtCoiled back sobs crackLetting it all outOvercome with loss and doubtTruth loud must ring proudAnd silence won’t resistOld songs play onThrobbing sounds that shiftOvercome with memory’s blissLight finds new timelineAnd Continue reading
