Blue-grey smoke holds allure Against the black Married in seamless perfection To my Cuban tobacco tongue Window down, system up Pulse pounds past giving a fuck Moonlight licking shore like Aromatic lips Each heart pluck a steel string Diamond diffusion Through broken tears   Necrotic muscle sends Septic plasma round Highways & byways Beneath mayonnaise […]

Fingernails

  I only left a hateful mess, despairingly On my way out the door So as you’d even fucking notice I’d been there, in love before… Now I’m longer ‘the nice guy’ unable to see the ‘bright side’ Eggs don’t chase sperm Never will, will never learn…      

Choke

  Wake in the middle of the night, in sometime to come? as the memory’s punch in the throat chokes you with realization’s grip Like I’ve tried to, in my sleep, Once grieving mouth moving to form Hissing syllables with once loving lips grazing sacramental skin Callous(ed) hands clasped tightly around your neck since your […]

Unfinished. Unsought.

  Of Sherbet and Gin, tasted your skin. Blood alcohol’s begun to thin, to the gun in his mouth’s searing chagrin. Trauma-bound Saturday, once again. Damaged hearts in screaming din, when darkness find each other, within. Capillaries fused. Occlusion abound. Valentine mist. Intoxicant cloud. When lips first touched? Sweet melody – so loud Unfinished. Unsought. […]
