Ephemeralthoughts
I ride higher Than your suicides You write:   Take me back, I’m sweetly reminiscing of Solar wings embracing celestial winds Sunsets of broken chords Summer's shattered sword Winter’s ornery Jaded blue jays Gray's vacant face I salute your honesty But blisters wrought on A calloused heart Cuts deeper Than the oceans' void Let me sleep whimsically With rotten melodies To keep me from Changing the tone of My stuttering dreams But, Soft, teeth speak Like broken branches On dilapidated trees And I’d spend Eternity In the chime of your White fire voice Or Those olive green Teasing eyes Keeping me sheepishly serene Whirling Weaving Into a timid peace      Yet our Crashing Tongues slam Into sour Suns Swallowing the seams of interconnectivity Scattering liquid beams of entropy I forget those days we Wasted on the morbid Memories

Blackhole beauties
Mama I've done wrong Did it again Swallowed the red sun and burnt my tongue Now I talk in caustic prose As I watch precious friends erode into stories that were once told Missing the elastic howls that died in the sweet summer time, our mellow procrastination that became an erratic fascination, hopeless meandering in the forest grove where we found Cherub rock and communicated in implicit thoughts Merely stowed memories in a paper boat Drifting towards a somber moat formed from the friction of  splintered convictions The chords of thunder roar Black clouds of war wash ashore It's time to fall on my own sword

A shell of my former self
Where go thee traveler, trailing in broken shadows? Just another poet wandering down a mischievous path of deceit and beguiles. Who be thee? Another shattered soul sauntering in denial? Carry a name I do not, but you may call me whatever comes to your thoughts. Cassandra. Deliverer of delight and heavenly sight, but caustic to those who try to consume her with the allure of night. Cursory charm, a daring attempt to overtake the apex of my harnessed heart. My penchant roars with a persistence that never rests! Audacious lips of mine will eclipse your eyes as deep as an ocean and dark as wine. Let our shadows combine, our fate intertwine to capture a moment of the divine. Arrhythmic and blind your love needs redesign! Otherwise I'll become another infatuation lost in time. Here I stand austere without effrontery to burden our affair. What is it you'll have me declare? First follow me into the infinite abyss. What after I plunge into the nebulous mist? Our hands we'll share in the company of crescent stares

Converstations with Cassandra
The shouting face of the sea Ravages rocks on the toes of the beach Seashells glued to glass laminate the reflecting rays of the baking sun A pebble preaches to a mountain Underneath an electric dream Galvanize my heart, It needs a jump-start Stuck in a frozen tundra of fallacy Chasing broken tragedies I told her I tried Nothing seems to change the mind So I guess I’ll have to lie Praying a lion’s smile captures her immaculate eyes But my summer’s luck lacks the ability to clear cloudy skies Now I am alone in a misty meadow With taciturn trees Yet you were like the warm belly of a manatee And I was a calloused heart hoping for a remedy

Warm belly of a manatee
Slippery insanity careens through marble forests,   trained insurgents capture dragon flies grinding them up for pixie dust, cowards siphon rain drops from entangled subatomic particles inscribing hopeless anecdotes for economical tyranny, bloated bumble bees bomb pearl harbor, golden harps sprout wings chasing lost lovers nourishing their insipid dreams, homophobes parade **** inside sinking ships, graveyards sneeze showers of formaldehyde, nature's chemical cathedrals synthesize the eleven dimensions of space and time, summer's daughter bathes in autumn's waters a myriad of memories engraved in the brain's tissues trace the tapestry of neural plasticity Prometheus's pollution and the alchemist's sunset

Didactic Pychosis
Neptune's core collapses Splintered diamonds descend in stabbing fashion Sleepy knives pass silently through the night Casting shadows in the caliginous moon light Stitched spiderwebs glisten across autumn's equinox Discordant thought raptures in a Gordian knot The symmetry of entropy plots its course The universe resets its clock

Sunset Samurai
Love, the toothpicks that built the architecture to my suicide *** the physical affliction my body hungers Hate, what swells inside and comes alive when I'm drowning in lies Time, I wish to slit that bitch's wrists and stop the fleeting chase of experience Space, where everything goes numb Life, impatiently awaits death Death, the only thing that makes sense

Sanguine moons for the hopelessly hopeful
To whom it may concern The toils and burdens my soul upturns Burns insipid valleys in her earthly world I am the pronouced hate Invigorating the vapid sensation So plastically waiting to commensurate Residing in the bowels of God my stitched fate Defecates the defective path, one day we all must take Smite the plight purging these devilish urges? Or rage the plague until the roots of life are twisted with screeching decay? Either way death always stares one dead in the face And yet it is I who carries the torch to light your funeral dirge

The Reaper
A stranger in atrophy, cringing bleak teeth Erratic Discordian defeat His reality painted in dismal dreams A palette of cacophony Nailed to shadows under his feet Swallowed by lingering tears trapped in time's tyranny Constrained to a chaotic labyrinth Meandering in the shell of the mind Anchored to the subtle precepts of the past This phantom universe slips from his grasp

A Phantom Universe
Oh Great American Pioneers Is there nothing more we hunger to discover? Is there no longer a thrill to explore, unravel, or seek? What happened to the inclination of chasing curious mysteries in the ubiquitous abyss Revealing uncharted geography Tasting foreign experiences Lost in fecund meandering Our puzzles cannot possibly be complete There will always be an abundance of missing pieces So set out and search for these conundrums Break free from the mainstream recluse state of defeat Or be content with T.V. dinners and two hour showers Dreaming about what you could have been I loathe this monotonous behavior Stop being an unconscious participator Escape your hostage environment Become the instigator The death of the pioneer is what I mourn The dead American dream is how I was born
