Parallel Lines
Still-
We are bound to an infinity
Naive to the
Straightness of the other,
Drawn as one,
We seem.
Synchronized,
And aligned perfectly,
Shaded by a single path
Upon a purposeful paper.

One For The Road
Drop all your tears at once and
Hear me out!
A one second kiss is all I'm here for.
Just an honest instance,
Between you and me.
No promises to make, then break

Forgive My Oxymorons
This is much real,
Than the poetry I write,
I will not compare this,
To a dark cloud hanging behind
The silver sun,
Or a flock of birds,
Flying above an endless crimson tide,

Don't Be Shy Now
I long-
To see a sunnier day,
Than what you forced me to face.
An old friend once taught me
How to see that silver lining,
Even the dimmest ones.
That's why I hold faith today!

For You
My words-
Are simple,
And they are my own.
Shy words that ink my stories in the
Blank page life
Has reserved for me.
From my head,
To my lips,
To my fingertips...

Waiting To Exhale
One final breath
She held for a moment,
As streams of blood
Gushed from her thighs-
Lonely red melted petals
Flowing freely from her fleshy bud,
staining her skin,

Stop!
When your feet are worn out
And you don’t know
Where else to go.
Cuffed in the very middle,
You seem all confused and low.
Looking at that farthest north.

Lock.Load.Fire.Ricochet.
LOCK
Your iron heart.
AND LOAD
The sharpest of bullets.
AIM
Your rusted shotgun.
AND FIRE
At your fated target.
BURN
One flicker finger.
AND BLOW
One kiss for the sun.

Periwinkle Boy
I am no better-
Than an impatient
Petal of a hillside periwinkle
Hurrying to break away
From its stems
And roots
Just
To falter
And mingle freely
With mountain dusts.

More Or Less
You asked me-
To be less of that
To be less of this
To be more like them
To be less like us
You told me-
To be less of a fighter
And more like a lover
To touch you like a flower

Camping
I can linger
On your edge
Forever
And beyond
Seeing this
Masterful landscape-
Endless miles of brown skin
Streams of sweat
Flowing freely
From each pore,
Evaporating right

The Sweetest Spot In The Middle Of Goodbye
Goodbye is difficult.
It is bitter.
Sad.
A torture.
A slapstick comedy,
A parody of a promise,
A pleasantry exchange.
Tiresome and hurtful.
But, right in the middle

The Date
Do I smell good?
Do I look better now?
How about my shirt?
Look at my hair!
Just the way you like it, ey?
I brought my biggest smile
And bought the prettiest pink roses
I can find.

Master Of The Sea
If the pearly calms of sea
Will cease to surge a sigh,
I will swirl, this water world
And sing its lullaby
And if the silver water swirls
Swell into walls of tides,
