By the smell of iron and roses
By the taste of sugar and blood
By the sound of her voice laced
with kudzu blossoms and honey
suckle, nectar dripping against
my neck.
I knew her...
With rose colored eyes she invites me in
past her lips to where teeth penetrate
the skin or who's skin is penetrated ?
I have laid inside her grave
and naked we were
buried in roses...
Yellow rose bush standing tall and looking well,
You have many stories you could tell.
Some stories of sorrow you might whisper,
While the stories of joy you will yell.
Since your...
In the early hours, X lay awake,
Wondering how long a better life would take.
Even though his heart would ache,
He prayed continuously, for his own sake.
It seemed no one could relate.
Day...
Little boats are not supposed to hold glass screens that reflect an atmosphere of shifting humors but I sit and stare at a little glass square that cannot hold the moon with silver dust and then nothing...
Color devoid from vision
White glares, relentless
Sentiments cease to flow
Creativity exiled in the vast

I wondered when I would be opened,
when my letters would be renewed.
And my thoughts often wondered to a dark place,
where there were no bounds,
no borders, no grounds,
where there are pictures...
Red tastes like fire.
Gray sounds raspy.
Green feels smooth.
Purple smells like feet.
But blue, blue just looks blue.
We can see colors but we cannot taste them.
We can see...
From a leadoff cry to the giggles followed by,
From a chaotic mess to a calming lullaby,
From the first glimpse to the endless sights,
From the promising grounds to wishful heights,
From best...
After that moment between
Me being with him and me being by myself is over,
I am finally able to smile.
I look at myself in the mirror and think about the seats of his truck
And how...
Why does a honeybee fly?
Perhaps only to feed on the nectar of orchids,
or to dance a dance of thoughtfulness with the tulips.
Maybe because flightlessness is most fearful.
What...
Swirling in nothingness seemingly silent yet screaming with noise
Down here death bells toll damning those who dared to defy
Always searching for the way following the sounds of presumed safety
Nothing...
