You are the candle
in my hollowed out heart,
burning bright through
my hand-carved face of despair.
You set the gleam in my eyes
and then snuffed my soul
with the cold blow
of rejection. . . . more

You degraded me
with homogeneous mixtures—
too much androgen cheese
was added to testosterone burgers
and I was ostracized,
cut from society’s happy meals
and thrown into waste bins.

I try you on in the store
the way I would try on
an expensive leather coat or
a pair of high heeled boots,
mulling over the decision
in front of a mirror
and the sales lady,
wondering . . . more

If you were here right now,
standing right in front of me,
I would kiss you.
I would plant one on you
that would steal your breath
as it burned into your memory.
Lip to lip, and hip to hip,
my arms would . . . more

"I can't believe I finally won the lottery;
a dream come true, ticket to happiness!
I'm going to have a great time shopping,
now that I'm filthy, stinking rich!"

The
colors
together
tend to mingle
and turn an ugly
shade of burnt sienna.
Individually they were
beautiful shades that existed . . . more

dead center summer,
she walked through fields
with eyes cast down
trying not to step
on last minute crickets
or fluttery moths.
it was mid-July,
with dry heat sun-baking
mud on . . . more

We've come to the end
of a beautiful relationship;
right now, I just want you to know
the fact that it is ending
takes nothing away from its beauty
and its very special meaning to me.
I've loved . . . more

Tears falling
in an ocean of blue ink.
I'm drowning in my head.
Arms flailing,
splashing words on these pages,
but nothing I have said.
Pulled under,
submerged in my confusion.
I'm breathing . . . more

In death's dream, hollow
spiders wove webs of memories-
intricate patterns of life and death
between birth and undefined lives
written across misery's blind, blank eye.
Life is found in divinity . . . more

Heaven rests in your eyes,
while grace is in your touch.
You love every inch of them,
and covet just as much.
To be loyal and submissive
is to love you,
every kiss laced with a promise,
every gesture . . . more

I sat in the dark
eating stale cereal
from a Tupperware container
with a fork
because every other dish
in the house was dirty.
And I don't even like cereal.

She needed damaged dreams
to be repaired, so crane prayers
lifted metal spirits higher
until the storm slammed
into downtown events
as below, on Thirteenth Avenue,
due to rush hour traffic,

Lilacs
fill the cool air
with the sweet smell of love,
reminding me of great grandma's
tight hugs.

Wand and frond of fairytales,
slip to lip of caterpillar crawl
when magic brews in cauldron
of chicken bones and Jack’s beans.
Five and twenty blackbirds
have carried this wail with cow
half way . . . more

Ahh,
that beautiful,
painful,
magical,
muse
of "Spoken Word"
as I hear
the smooth impromptu jazz
in the background
amidst a glass clinking,
low conversation crowd
in a room
too . . . more

You say my eyes are pools that you can get lost in,
deep as an ocean with windows directly to my soul.
You could stare into them forever, or so you claim,
with your clichéd advances that seem to . . . more

with my head on your chest,
I felt the planets align and the stars
shone brighter than they had in years
and I signed in utter contentment.
But dread draped . . . more

dissolve it, chew on its bones
and maybe it will disappear
for reader and writer.
Take sinewy, sultry lines,
and dance with them
until your midnight . . . more

Grapefruit sliced in two
takes sweet revenge against me;
squirts juice in my eye.
