When you get butt kicked into a crossroads,
stay there a bit,

look around, avoid devil pacts,
and revise your choices.

It is a cosmic opportunity.

no room

I am so full of me there is no room for you in here. You can be out there, alongside me, but there is no room in here. The hotel is full. I am the Anna Madrigal of my own soul. So you be you and I will be me. If there is connection, I will cherish it. If there is not, I will not miss it. This does not diminish my love and devotion, nor your own to me. It just makes it real.

Insomnia

When sleep, like life, eludes me ....... ...... life giving sleep overcomes everyone but me .... life sapping concienceness drains me .... My crimson shadowy wraith wakens and fills the slumber with it's grip of dark thoughts ... my mind races my soul cringes ..... The beauty of life but a twinkle in the crushing darkness of dispair ...... a flicker of light, the glimpse of a smile, the warmth of a touch ...... but a trickle .. like a single tear .... ............. the cold bitter dark, unrelenting throbbing, deafening, mindnumbing soul destroying pain! ....... like Ten thousand times Ten black holes ripping through the subatomic fibre

Never Forgotten

You are pushing... Trying to erase... But you refuse to wipe away those words that rest gentle on the lines. You can't do it. They are written in pen. You won't rip the well designed paper either. You will have to paint over those honest words. You will always know that underneath those vibrant colours lies a hidden script. A secret code that whispers in your sleep. You have become a spy. Undercover, in your own world. What are you searching for? Is it your treasure which you have tucked away? Hopefully you will find that which you have intentionally lost, And at its appearance, You will forget the tears you shed, And once again remember

Book Club

You mistake The knife for the cake. You savour the gore, lick The conflict, flavour already So like blood, but more. Heady, metallic. Hang a balloon in your ribs, Pop it with a rail spike. Bang. A peel of plastic, maroon, Like a bib, remains. That’s how it feels, That pain. Promises are hammers.

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

14. Metal Mettle

I was born with a silver tongue, Copper eyes and a gold heart. A grain of salt in my head and skin of obsidian. The silver has tarnished, But it stays slick with lies told , And untold. And retold. My lips seem bruised and discolored, poisoned by the silver within. The copper has oxidized, Turning blues and greens under the force of the salt water of my tears. And all the strife they have seen. The golden heart starts soft and pure Shining in the sunlight. But it is soft. Malleable All too soon it is dented. And pieces taken. It is better known as Fool's Gold, When it glints in the light to attract another. The grain of salt becomes a pearl that is my brain. Over time it shall mold Rolled within my cavity, an irritant until it is beholden as some fantastic beauty of nature. My skin is obsidian. Beautiful and Smooth Shattering off with any amount of force, Sharply cutting to those that try to touch me wrong. I am a treasure trove, Of precious metals and beautiful things. I may

Making Jam

Poetry is word jam. Boil down the natural sweetness of words And add the sugar of imagery, alliteration, assonance, allusion, figure of speech, meter, and rhyme to taste.

All's quiet in the deep

Fanged tendrils of forbidden thoughts Twisting with a purpose Squirming to be said, to be made flesh Calling from beyond the veil Moving slowly in the black still water They whisper Fears and doubts, Clouding the edges my eyes in red haze Tempting me with truths And lies. I cannot speak them The words that fester beneath the blade of my tongue Itch for a voice through which to manifest They pester to be named A venom coursing through my veined and slouching heart Daring my lips to part Stop now, cease. You are in violation. There is nothing to see here, Nothing to say. My jaw must stay still And silent Smiling and clenched Do not say the words Do not hint It is betrayal The thoughts have been waiting there forever Wearing me down, Berating patiently Do not speak of them. Their existence is anathema. I have desires I dare not say, Effervescent dreams I could throw it all away I could jump I could fly That was a metaphor That was a lie Never mind, I take it back, Watch my
