24th time around the Summer 

crucial to the sun,

   heat from August

   s   t   u  c   k   

 to

her forehead

           as bugs and

flies buzz by

             when the sand touches

her toes

   the sun

m e l t s              into

the amber horizon


getting creative with the backgrounds because i been stuck in the office.... 

enjoy this office plant poem pic :) 


grey kind of ocean blue

immerse yourself in a body of water

   feel her,

 in and out,

stronger,

then weaker,

then strong again,

   the feelings within a human

change with 

the shape of the

water

smallest pocket poem yet

two beautifully broken

yet mended together

 t r a n s p a r e n t

        bumble bees        

          shiver into

the night

 


a beautiful rectangle        

          composer of the birds

  her  wind shares beautiful

     melodies with me while 

  i sip my    summer   t e a


the 10AM BLUES

to dress my darling in the most

luscious pelt coat is an

                     understatement  

                  for my feelings

         towards this year.

   while monkeys have been flying,

vibrating, through the placid sky,

   we hear the neighbors ramble their

soothing grace while harvesting

the midnight crop.

      fragments of you,

   fragments of i,

 

                elongate over

   centuries   of

time.

 


pale pink shade of rose

I feel my feet

      wither and vibrate

on the    perforated edge

    two steps back

                       and there

                          I go down the

oblique rabbit hole

           a haven where

tears were harvested

        devoured a pine hue

only to provoke the   truth

   help me find my way

back to you 

     


Wednesday

POEM.

       laughed,

smiled,

watched:

          as I wasted

years of this life

         (my precious human life)

    fell backwards down a

dark lit rabbit hole

        (fast, faster, CRASHED)

just to find my mother

dead,

       at the end.    my mind’s

    t i m e

consumed with lies and doubt,

teaching my soul

       life lessons, learning  NOT    to

hold tight to   thorns. 

         ((no matter the beauty))

a mistake made at night,

       only to bring 

light,

back to my home.


Dave Matthews Band - Stand Up (For It) (Live At Red Rocks)





I woke up to the angels
They're singin' in my head
You look so good naked next to me
An angel in my bed

Tuesday

stars that cry

evaporate the thought
of our love- 
i can't even fathom 
the rock road or
the maple trees
no more




blue fuse

filling the room with
laughter,
   the child reaches
  and grabs a night

Hozier - Better Love (From The Legend of Tarzan)





Blind to the purpose of the brute divine
But you were mine
Staring in the blackness at some distant star
The thrill of knowing how alone we are, unknown we are
To the wild and to the both of us
I confessed the longing I was dreaming of

here lies the body


"welcome to my Father's resurrection"
    i screamed as the men came in

the wooden door shut hard behind them
      the trees with cripple bark, the 
     clouds with a melancholy stare

wither away with the need to devour grace
     the fate between oblique women and horses
winter worms and their bone(s) 

   lay out to dry the minds of blind children




the warrior's adventures on the horse 


warrior of the pine mosquitoes
    hunchbacks make their way 
    home with sixty-seven horses

marsupial minds rotting between
    dusty morning suns and 
    snake eyes 

wish him luck as he enters the 
     Summer Haze Sunrise 
(orange)

tart alligator eyes
   her blood covered fangs
   hang in the lavender moonlight

(the) raven hides his
       wings in the forbidden
       yellow hue

June Bugs cover my two eyes

bones rubbing together, creating

forbidden whispers

black markers

being afraid of what may be,

being afraid of what could have been,

    being afraid:

is more of a waste than the honey

bees produce at night


cashew love


elegance painted across
her eyelashes

rose tinted glasses

collecting flowers 
just to harvest 
my fate

air, so soothing, 
gently passes by 


poem

twisting,

growing,

vibrate

devour the

love SHE

gives you


her salmon colored mouth

harvest   the melancholy love

still left in her olive heart

    collect the tart lavender

thoughts that shiver down

                    Summer’s Spine

     her eyes a shade of pearl

    devour the fear

that reads on her lips

 


back pockets

her coarse mind
always in the way
 
      a distate
for everything:

the day, the month, the time

   even if she has to alter 
her eyes,    things could 
be worse


with extra elbowroom,
      she can finally see


poem

drag the verticle stars 
   upside down

alter the dark mind
go back in time 
he sings to me at night 

cultivate 
     the love
the meek moon
shares on Sundays

have a quaint thought?
  ask the man next door

tedious times, call for 

    intricate flies to infest
mascaline men and their 
        thighs 
as time passes 

where are you now
that the winter has thawed
  the venerable minds of 
years 

past 

eating eternal babies
versatile nuns and 
honeysuckle rain
fall and hit her skin

oh so gently 
lines that make words

a murky mind, 
   objects placed in time
where memories
remember Quaint, dark
noises
   
 cedar talons 
piercing through HER
     body

just to harvest the 
magenta Children 
of tomorrow


here I am, lying on the kitchen floor (almost dead)

transforming into
         sixty seven
 versions
                 of me 
wearing a marsuplal mind
tonight the bergamot moon
will RISE

fangs to show, a golden 
heart to throw

against this brick wall
    for the winter worms
have come out to play
       



good god

harvest my guts
    in the midst of
this virgin hurricane

orphans and sunflowers
        weeping gourds 
and   hunchback ravens


when it rains here,
the children moan
red lips

cedar,
honeysuckle,
beehive.

dull rosemary sprouts in the violet light

cedar,
honeysuckle,
beehive.

across the

a silk sunrise, rotting

while bone(s) and 
  Red Robins sing
              lullabies

pass by

slower than molasses 
    during this HOT July 

this is a poem

the raven 
displayed it's 
fangs

on August Afternoon

before the fence caught 
fire, before the girls rode
their bikes

the raven displayed 
it's fangs

the slender sideway
ate the night,

before their eyes 
before their eyes

strings and 66

an alligator mind
mysterious 

brings ya back in time-

Jun Bugs fly to the moon,
  cotton mosquitoes continue
to suck my sister's blood

cripple from the heat
   the bones of our ancestors
rot in the nocturnal night

I begged 
my mother to watch as 
I jumped off

circling around-

I couldn't take the
storm winds any

family portrait 

i dreamt of a time
where i dragged 
my whole family
down- to form
             one line-
    dead 
in a burlap sack
the river funeral
has just begun 

bears and flies, oh my

fell asleep with the

good thing I live 
in the woods

not a soul around
to make a noise

you don't want to love me-
it's more even the Devil

embrace the taste

external sunshine

moon

kiss the river

goodnight

eternal as a flower
my soul
grows 
as you
walk in
this 
room

go to town

melted

cans
stuck
to

cutting words out 
of newspapers
just to form
a sentence
to
explain my
feelings 
towards you


Friday



vines and flowers
would you mind 
sewing together
pieces of you &
pieces of me so i 
wouldn't feel so
broken lately?

small pocket poem 79

i found myself drifting
up shore, drunk 
with regret on my teeth
and lies in my pocket


poem

here she lies:
   a girl body
with a coyote
heart.

antediluvian 
and desolate.



poem

leather minds
   tear apart
close clouds
with no mind
        no time
kill the babies with
a golden knife
door knobs 
that 
bite

poem
walking home one night the stars
begin to sing to me....
i had to follow the moon to make my 
way home. the owls and wolves all
danced on the sidewalks. the trees
began to sway- i could finally smell
the leaves.


window poem. 

when the sun cries and your 
flowers don't bloom. trips
to the moon and rides to our
dreams. I love you no less
than the Sun and the Moon. 
microscopic pocket poem

imagine the flowers grew
inside and all the trees
held our secrets
poem 556.2

the flame dances
with the saxophone.
the phones off the
hook. children 
screaming loud. 
peaches and cream,
life is like a
dream.

poem #99998

dark grey Matilda
the witch whom sits
on my dresser all 
year. 

real or  not?

she holds the spirits 
with i dream. she 
scares away my 
bad dreams. she 
protects my human
brain. no need to 
move Matilda. she's
beautiful where she 
sits. 
feathers made of silk in my sleep
i don't know where i was when 
i went to bed last night.
the place was cold, damp and 
full of earthworms. missing 
girls appeared on the sewage river
tied in bows. 
messages reading, 
         "who 
is here" 
pale pink moon

nectar drips,
  let me pick 
that up, 

off your chin


to go where?
let's talk about the 
planets spinning, 
moving in thin air



smells like apple pie

i made friends with the bees
long ago-
the wind swept our 
worries away. 

we rest together, on the
mushroom top. while 
the moonlight sits
upon our 
tan skin-


water  makes sound

i'm in some sort of room
fans made of animal remains
walls painted with blood
when the sun rises, the work 
must get done. leave the lion
alone, 
leave her be


black

the piano strikes a mood
  the room begins to move
the walls sway- side to side.
as i swear my body is
upside down- thick air,
clouds block my view
of anything
real. 
close
my 

e

paperclip songs

membranes and such
magenta thoughts
sunset eyes 
under disguise 

poem 55

remember how we met
with roses on my eyes
and your brown brown 
thighs. the sun hit your 
lips some kind of way
that very day.

Wednesday



two eyes and one nose

I will wear a Bonnet 
I will be a Poet
I will sing until my Lungs Bleed




semicolon dissertation 
dancing with the wind
birds have three wings
hear the cackle of a crow
sunflower fields shine
rivers that are mind
Hazy Sky, Hazy Mind



fifteen minutes
   midnight 
coffee and cigarettes
shine bright, black love
night tea, honey and salt

change my locks to 
protect the ghosts

 UNTITLED

     when the world seems to crumble, 

     when she can’t stand straight

the ocean has no water, the sea has no salt

 a burning sensation,        yearn for life

days seem confusing

a thick,                                                  pulp HAZE          

 makes it hard read

the names of the days,                            but

when  his eyes intertwine with mine,  

   a  sidewalk behind us, holding us up

    when his soul lifts mine, and we reach

                            higher, higher, higher

   we collect the   quaint night sky

stars         as     the Coyote ho w l      s

the        river rushes in    as he

kisses my heart,

                      tighter

 



pocket poem #69
  eating silkworm  
salad              and
learning to accept
myself.

poem
over mountain tops 
          under the sea
             full of stars
 smeared across the
faint blue-black sky 
             a candle, lit
        the scent races through
the trees, the leaves
               they sway
 making shapes 
making sounds
nothing around
      silence screams 
as i look
over, 
    all  i see 
is your  shadow
waltzing across 
the wet 
green   grass

golden star love

on this very day:
            Sticky July
humidity glued to the sky
   angrily, she began to rain.
devoured the

        mature seeds 
planted           by children of 
color    only to provide explanation.
    an example of growth-
   sense of time slips 
into space as the 

tenuous
rain 
          drops.



Monday

 mini page

   I just want one lick

one bite, of his golden M  O O   N        RISE

   If he insists I do his laundry on Tuesdays

then I can defiantly find time in         between

peach picking and mowing

to read to the sweet birds my poetry

      leaving the windows  open

inviting all my bee friends

            as the morning turns afternoon

I watch the living room paint 

                                               dry.


 

petite poem

if we took as much time as we did

    milking the cows-

                 life wouldn’t 

be 

THAT bad .


 

S.S. LOVEDREAM

as we lay

  on the musty beach floor

sand braids my hair while

he glues together

 my broken heart

….    again.

      mixed with shells and the

   luminescent light             of  the

 crescent moon.

my  mind begins to         c r e e        p

  slowly  into

waves which crash against

     the naked shore.

as he leans in,

  for his lips to touch mine,

the ocean stars

whisper

                          goodnight.


arrows that don’t point

find me under the sun

     love stuffed between

  my                TEETH

like the days 

        where months

               turn to seconds

    i can’t seem to let go

of this feeling

   eating

wholesome souls

with a toothpick

      sitting in his  grin

   


 

sidewalk dinner date 4 two.

   the afternoon swallows the night

                            (  whole, entire, full   )

everyt h i n g             becomes still

candles to give us light

                             f o o d to give us     l o v e

between you and I

     skies melt, angels disappear

to whisper sweet nonsense

                        into our ears

we sense the feeling of life

              through    s o u l s

as they touch

   right before the velvet     M O O N

waves goodbye

  kiss me   o n e   last time 

                           before it stops the rain

 

 

the love blues

when the music stops

the candle goes out,

our evening has just begun

 

sounds dance on the walls

while the rain falls, steady

nothing between us at all

 

just our love that soars to

the ceiling, touching the sky

and melting our minds

 

when the music stops

the candle goes out,

our evening has just begun

Wednesday

 

soft kisses

 

 

caressing your neck

with summer’s truth and lies

that hide under

                   your teeth.

 

where your grin should sit,

when December hits,

      the roads are slick,

   with Thunder Ice

and black birds that hiss.

 

"take the Full Moon to bed, for she
