Colored
Canis Latrans Mar 2021
We are more often colored by our experiences, than our skin.
Mar 2021 · 167
Soil
Canis Latrans Mar 2021
Where all great work is done.
Sowing, eager seeds.

Thirsty waters, babbling brooks.

;
I could have ended it;
but kept going instead.
My life I mean.

People like you.
Canis Latrans Mar 2021
I have a higher opinion of garbage,
because trash can be recycled;
but people like you don't change.

Sowing wind
Canis Latrans Apr 2019
Seed, tilling around.
Ravishing soil, tickling leaves.
Dancing on sodden land.

The Sun
Canis Latrans Apr 2019
Babylon rests, in sun-golden rays.
Fortuna smiles upon you.
Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment.

Heavens lament
Canis Latrans Apr 2019
Heavens lament,
lest they find what drunkeness suits them best,
and be called happy.

Painting dish
Canis Latrans Apr 2019
Yellow roses, shine golden.
Adorned with blood.
Mar 2019 · 840
Naked
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
Smoldering, in a sea of cosmic smoke.
Burning, in a dazzling blaze of glory.
Dying, brightly.
For all the stars to see.

Tender wolf
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
"Do not worry I will be gentle," said the wolf.

"You mean to tell me, a beast as monstrous as you, is capable of mercy," said the traveler.

"No, not mercy," said the wolf. “Gentleness, there is a difference. I will devour you tenderly.”

The Moon
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
The shadows grow pale.
The patient light of the moon,
Foreshadows despair.
Hidden enemies, darkness, deception.

10 of swords
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
Desolate sands, vacant blood.
Sunset bleeds into final night.
Aut Caesar Aut Nihil.

9 of wands
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
Sentinel of dust.
Guard your resolutions quietly.
Calamity comes but to no avail.
The card signifies strength in opposition. If attacked he will meet the onslaught boldly.

Animal
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
Animals do not know sin.
This is the principle difference between us,
and them.
To feel guilty is to feel human.

Sex II
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
Soft curling flesh. 
Pink, supple and wet.
Mar 2019 · 166
Human
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
A human being.
An abhorrent thing to be.
Poor loathsome creature.
A haiku.
Mar 2019 · 248
Grendel
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
The oldest of demons.
Most loathsome of creatures.

You who dare claw and scrape at the light.

You empty thing.

Crude skin grafted over hollow bones.
Sunken eyes and misshapen spine.

Sleeping beast.
Primordial instinct.
Yellow teeth.

Rankest breath.
Twisted entrails.
Unnaturally long fingernails.

The cackling laugh of a snarling dog.

Disfigured cur.
You are but a crippled appendage of the world.

Rot like any other dead thing.
Disappear from my memory forever.

Love IV
Canis Latrans Mar 2019
No matter how wide my embrace,
I can never hold the sky.

I always fall in love with the wrong women.
Distant stars in the dark night sky.

Shinning brilliantly,
out of reach.

Tough Guy
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
You need not liken yourself to a beast,
as exclamation of your strength.
There are plenty of wolves in the forest already.
You don’t have to be one of them,
if you don’t want to.
Feb 2019 · 207
I love you
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
As if your heart alone,
wasn’t enough to carry.

I've gone, and given you mine.

Love III
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
Norepinephrine. Serotonin. Dopamine.

Ocean
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
These are your waters,
I'm just drowning in them.
“Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”

Sunlight
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
I loath the sickly, yellow glow of mans fire.
How it paints the walls of his dwelling with unnatural light.
He has forgotten me.
Now that he can see in his darkness,
he has no reason to leave it.

Lioness
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
The moon ran its fingers through your dark brown mane.
A porcelain lioness, glowing under the night sky.

Glory
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
Look how soon we are all forgotten.
Even the best of us, cannot have our names, carried in the wind forever.

Wolves
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
You took the beasts among us,
and made them gods.
Hungry,
ravenous gods.

Secrets

Everyone needs to feel like they have secrets.
I loved you.
That’s my secret.

Still Here
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
I wanted to change, more than I wanted to die.
That's the only reason I'm still here.
Whispered, the butterfly.

Ashes
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
When I die, let the wolves dance in my silver.
Lay the dust of me down in a snowy place.
So I may melt into the earth,
under the weight of your sun.

Burning Man
Canis Latrans Feb 2019
The graphite colored smoke, that rose from your charcoal covered body, in billows of silver.
The ferocious orange and yellow flames, that dance at the thought of bringing your bones into the sun.
The smell.
Sandalwood and gasoline.
