I wasn’t raised on scripture or a certain ideology  I had my own brain and was allowed to let it follow me  Many times in youth, hit hard with the truth, But I never let it swallow me And I’ve met God plenty of times but he never did acknowledge me I’ve been broken before, [...]

Knock knees with me please Tangle toes and trip up fingers  Over my lines and creases Breath into my cupped palms Suck your belly up in my arms Dig your elbows into my ridges Scratch my shins with uncut nails Lick my forehead with your split ends Kiss me at the coil of my snake [...]

He wanders my heart’s chambers Like Gandalf, light-of-his-staff-less and blinded  In the winding, dark caves of Moria And of course, he meets his Balrog He meets his fire and his shadows He meets his falling demise  Straight into the darkness of me and my beating love But I’m no fellowship. I’m not the braveness  And [...]

I am just this fleshy, bony  Bag of body,  Enveloped in pink toned hide   And sheltered by the soft bristle  Of tiny blonde strands.   I am hard to the push,  With ossein structure   And a hole in my stomach  Waiting for life  But only being flushed with modified substance.   I am the present head of [...]

There is nothing more important Than sharing yourself with others Even if their reaction isn’t what you were looking for,  If you wanted more or are left feeling sour, sore With a rage in your core Because you needed that cage of You Poured out and explored  And pawed over, Crawled through and only scored [...]

I’m a better person than I was yesterday and tomorrow will be the same,  well, that’s all I can hope for. My brain fattening like the lentil, otherwise I have to ask - what did it soak for?  Yesterday I had all these ideas, these ambitions and plans I was stoked for. Now I’m a [...]

I wish I told the flowers to shut the fuck up.  To stop admiring their own beauty, To stop talking of how others Are so infatuated with them That they want to de-petal their pretty limbs That I spoke louder with my poetry As they sung over with their own hymns  That I was too [...]

Mama must’ve missed me today. Muddled in the mews and the maze  Of mundanity. Making music  With the murmurs of smoke inhalation, Mixing spit with her match made And mindlessly musing through Mate’s make-believe masterpieces Called timeline memoirs. Miserably Making it through work, massaging Her muscles with marred hands From painting murals in the boss’ [...]

When lowering, your weight is forward Don’t have to tell me twice Every lean over leads to topple Every topple leads to face first  And my nose needs a break, I tell you  Downward Spiral, could be Nah It’s a Pretty Hate Machine day My ears rattle My feet tap My heart beats My arms [...]

The sun shone then disappeared in the blink of an eye. I turned my head for a moment, and, it was gone. It felt wrong to miss it as it said goodbye but how could I have known it would leave so quickly? Suddenly the sky was dark, I missed the sun but the sun [...]
