Shower
Ben Palomino May 2019
I
step into
the shower
The water temperature
turned all the way up
I want each drop to burn
As if to purge my soul
No matter how hard I scrub
I can never wash away my sin
Its stained too deep
Within

Magic mushroom
Ben Palomino Mar 2020
Opened my eyes
To awake within my dreams
Where I walk the line
Between chaos and peace

I look to the sky
To sigh in relief
At the sweet somber scene

Almost too intoxicating
One deep breath
Fills my fantasy's
With hues of gray, gold,
And green

The entrancing sky's

The soul behind your beautiful eyes

And my favorite color
To catch me by surprise

A message to the divine
Ben Palomino Feb 2020
To you who are
Truly divine
I beseech thee
To never seek thy shrine

For these vein’s
Carry tainted waters
Through a dying temple
Hastily poisoned by time

Perhaps appealing
On the outside
But malevolent shadows
And corrupted followers
Lurk within unwinding
A fate I wish would align

Untitled
Ben Palomino Mar 2020
Find me in the meadow
Sprawled out amongst
The drunken breeze

Where the moon glows
Brighter than the sun
Illuminating the crowded
Landscape where only
Rampant thoughts grow
Freely

And the poet’s flow
Sounds more like
The ramblings of a
Soon to be madman

Crazed by the nature of our
Two fates intertwining
But never touching

— The End —
