LIFE, LOVE, AND ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA:

LIFE, LOVE, AND ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA:

BEAUTIFUL   DREAMER     THIS IS THE VIRAL EQUALIZER   WITHIN THE TIMES OF SEETHING FIRE   IT HITS THE MEEK AND KILLS THE HIGHER   IT SINGS THE CRIES OF BLEEDING HEARTS     AS THE STRUCTURE IMPLODES, AND THE SYSTEM DECAYS WHAT 

VIOLENT WHIMS

VIOLENT WHIMS

So much is being aired out these days, and abusers are finally being awarded the chance to come out of their darkness and make it right. Yet, with this movement of honesty and raw vulnerability, I see people tuning it out. I hear people patronizingly 

MY HEART IS RIPPED OPEN AND WORN ON YOUR SLEEVE

MY HEART IS RIPPED OPEN AND WORN ON YOUR SLEEVE

 

These four walls

Are the cavity of my dreams 

Breathe and fall

With the habitat of the field

Glean the gall

To be taken to higher peaks

We the dolls

Of awakened and brighter beings

 

 

 

 

Fought with all

We were tethered to barren trees

Came the call 

To re-leather our harried feet 

Brave and raw

Unmistaken in what we’d seen

Blades once drawn

Were retreated in their defeat  

 

 

I can live 

in the gravity in between 

blind and stilled

by the sanctity on the screen

Wipe the bill

There’s no fallacy here to free

Wide-eye’d thrill

Her morality weaning weak

 

 

Hide the hills

Of the palaces that you speak

Where the chill

Is of magnitude unbelieved 

 

 

My heart is ripped open and

Worn on your sleeve

Disheveled upheaval

One moment’s reprieve

I’ve just got to go now

I’ve just got to leave

There’s nothing to show now

I’ve let it all bleed

LEANING WITH STYLE

LEANING WITH STYLE

Leaning with style Into forthright denial   To the sultry retire- ment; imagined surmise     Of the deeper,  The darker,  The caverns of stardust; The weaker, the bleaker, The pitch forks and creatures.   Her wits worn to feverish, Blood sworn in secret, The 

UNDER OATH

UNDER OATH

      Stead-fire, Stead-fire,  Sturdy of home;  This itch got me inching  The whites of my bones.   Headlines, Headlines,  Ready to blow  This cryptic encryption Is Hijacking Rome.       Hemorrhaging fetuses  Red to the toe; In wedlock our grievance  Refuses to 

DAME

DAME

 

Foghorns are raiding the halls

of my blank paper white walls;

so long and vast as they call;

stroking the glassy eye’d doll.

 

Circling rovers on mars

worshiping planets, and stars

are birthed to be robots of ours,

cursed to be sold out for parts.

 

 

 

She is a female

who doesn’t quite retail 

to he who would derail 

the sum of her details.

 

She is the one

you can’t hunt or run from,

she’s the lover you loathe;

 your midnight implosion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She is the girl

that you wished you could curl 

into simple equations 

but division’s betrayed you.

Made is this woman 

to break your illusion, 

and straighten confusion:

a dame aint for using.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh she’s wild, and unsheltered,

can’t deny that you’ve melted

in the heights of her temper

she’ll be right back to render.

 

Eyes sharp and weathered;

alive and unfettered, 

darling I would think better 

than to unwind and untether.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conflate every stereotype, 

you hate that she won’t fall into line; 

debates every inch of your hype;

can’t fake it; she’s onto your lies.

CAN YOU CRACK A SOCIOPATH?

CAN YOU CRACK A SOCIOPATH?

Is there any room in the universe to have compassion for the sociopath?     Aren’t we all a little sociopathic at times? What constitutes the fundamentals of a sociopath? How do we amend something we can’t understand? How do we maintain a relationship with 

FALSEHOOD

FALSEHOOD

it’s never who you think it’s about    Lies on lies on lies on lies Your great demise in fitful files Of moments captured by the deep Entrenching patterns, let me sleep You lie and lie and lie and lie I can’t keep mind my 

FLAGPOLES

FLAGPOLES

Like two wild flags ripped of their poles and floating together aimlessly.
It just Doesn’t work.
A flag needs a pole in order to fly.

 

 

My heart aches

each time that

I think of your smile

What would it take

Just to bring back

your lips to mine?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t show me the road that’s been traveled by most 

For I’d rather just coast by the skeleton’s ghost 

Don’t prick me with fire as I lay out to roast

Pourin’ gas on the fibres of all that we know

 

 

 

I’m already floating on gardens of rose

I’ve returned to my essence and let out the smoke

I’m far fetching moments to star trek the show

Though I’m learning for always I’m no longer chocked
