poem

Celestial

Seek and you shall find me Gray and half chewed by rabbits teeth Laid in a cradle of dust But I would not wish that upon you Nor even your capture A frame of cracked bones, chattering Teeth and a hand squeezed tight like a grenade Will you, Robin and Sparrow, whisper Secrets into myContinue reading “Celestial”

The Devil

Dragon wing Tortured laugh Blank book and Unlit candle I outmaneuver you to have My way with the treasure trove Glistening diamond, gold and wealth But it’s all just pretend I feel your coils around be, just as bright as the the rubies on the grail And your whispers in my ears “All is wellContinue reading “The Devil”

No Eye Has Seen

Carry out the command In my hand As I spread it out like a picnic blanket spanning The world There are countless limitations brought about by perspective And all I need to be is your Horizon Though the edges are tattered as they taper out into The endless night Void, the last frontier A divineContinue reading “No Eye Has Seen”

Wine Stains

Blended fabric forms the web As I’m tangled in your Many limbs The storm of man and blood and soul And a woman out of time Struggling to breach the subject Of an attack on the palace Her people ransacked The rations burned By godless heathens But I’m just a fly, and what can IContinue reading “Wine Stains”

Spring Dreams

Cold trickle Downpour on the ledge My fingers try to take grip Like an idea on the balance beams of your mind Spin it Flip it Any way you like But it comes down to survival A hope for the future and The promise of eternal summer

Sheol’s Rain

Break through the shallowsAnd the ruins Ancient runes call your name and Call you home Behemoth Son of the fiendBut your feet are tired from wandering and IHave a spot on my old couchYou keep me up lateSharing stories of the bristling Leviathan As we remember our days In hell

Imbalance

There’s something solid on the other side of the mirror It winks at me. I reached toward you and only Only break the glass Perforating the skin But there is no blood beneath Only the bones of a story Notes and plot outlines Prayers for silence And The reflection of your unfulfilled adolescent dreams.

Brain Chemistry

Your voice in the windCalling in a way that can’t be silencedPerforates my eardrums Runs me ragged through the streetsAnd there is no place of silenceNo call to answerIn the halls of the deadWe walk onReap and sowShrink and grow In your memoryAlways in the shadowOf your damned memory

Avoidable Tragedy

The plains cry out Sentient in their lack of verb – If you kept me any longer I might Take wing with you– But there is nothing but ice in the sky A solid helmet over the head of the earth– Keep me in your prayers I’ll keep you in eyesight–

Lexapro

I’m rattled on the inside Like the brain concussing against the steel wall of my unbreakable skull The dusk gleams off my helmet as I ride onward Famine– But that’s okay I’ve come to expect this sort of treatment Starved for meaning and The Word Like dopamine on loan With interest payments– Put what remainsContinue reading “Lexapro”
