An introverted excavator
I want to be a creator, a maker, to put my heart on paper, drop words on ground, to bloom for goodness saker, into swirls and loops, that say if I'm a give or a taker. put my prints into earth, rebirth, let soil separate stubbornness from worth. stars folded into matter, like batter, like I am and he is, more than what shatters, and what I roll out, kneed out, will breath out my souls doubts that I am a creator, a maker that swirls around equators, who is and will be, more than I can wager.

airport writing
with eyes still closed, my mind awakes to the ocean upon my door, it knocks with salty insolence, my land locked soul to lure. the thought of coral in chandeliers, tempts my feet from bed to floor, but twas the sound of kelp being plucked, that enticed me to explore. a tidal wave is just outside, where mackerel dance and more, schools of sea-life swim upstairs, to feed off shipwrecked floors. with eyes wide open, my mind asleep, my skin drops on the shore, my hands scale through my algae hair, and i hear the turtles lore. the manatees discuss it too, a tale of souls at war, who hear the knock and find reprieve, in an oceans wandering floor.

Restless Sea Skin
i put my ego on the killing floor thick blood drops, i watch the door but no escape for who i am blood drops thick, i am no more oh, God my soul, ransom me from beams above, divinity like honey on my wounds it pours and washes clean that killing floor

killing floor
confetti snow, so pretty and untouched, paint me pink. pink so I can dive into a well of unreason. i'll dance with jesters and kiss them goodnight. never think of the tree where i've buried tomorrows. all my tomorrows. then snow turns to slush, pink drips, not my color. paint me black. not for death but for classic, a backdrop, a canvas. paint me black to be strong, an anchor for flurries. stuck in black. neither black, neither pink, paint me white. white like that snow that turned my feet frozen. white like the snow, like the pure, like the light. white like the empty. yes, paint me white.

saturday night mondays
we look for ground our roots can grow in, soil in which we'll feed. but I need earth that quakes and moves me, earth that I can breathe. I want a man who overwhelms, so loud my screams seem meek a man so wild he makes my heart a damsel in relief o, let me grow, and love and live in more than dirt and dust let me grow in earth that keeps the wild inside of us

The wild inside of me
Oh, I'll sleep today, dream through tomorrow, and wake when the quaking is done. But if sleeping is numbness and dreaming withdrawal, then what kind of victory'd be won? Cut through my insides and quarter my borders; wrapped up 'fore they've fired the gun. Strength, I now see you, standing perfected, then willfully you shatter undone.

A kiss that starts and ends the night
I want to sit and watch the heavens move. Saturated darkness, not empty but infused. Vast like an ocean light swims in ebon grooves. Feeding off the matter, every inch of black is fuel. Particles like creatures in currents more than smooth. To be absorbed by darkness is to feel sublimely used. I want to sit and watch the heavens move, reminded that I'm made of dust and swim dark currents too.

Darkness is not dead
I believe in the pull of the moon. I believe in the things unseen that hold us together. I believe in subtlety; that we are influenced by the intangible much more than we’d suppose. I believe in spirit speaking to spirit, changing us from the inside out. I believe in light that flows into the very cracks of darkness, until daylight is all that is seen. I believe in change, and reinvention and leaps of faith. I believe who I am today, is not who I will be tomorrow. I believe in the fire, the flood and the flesh-that love only deepens to the depth of your sacrifice.

I Am A Soul
i have this fantasy in my mind to sing the blues to sing the songs of lonesome people to belt it out from the bottom of my bellows to the tippy tops i see my dark silhouette in even darker places bringing sorrowful songs a touch of sweetness and whole lotta soul soul that'll shake the lonesome loose i could hide my face and bare all emotion for strange familiar faces so i'm crazy, yes, and secretly want to be a lounge singer a lady of the night if you please but think it over, then tell me truly that to breath the blues for those who feel them doesn't entice you as well

How do you catch what is within you?
