You must be able at all times,
To sacrifice what you are;
For who you could become

Realizing you've reached
A summit of your life's potential
You've been seeking

Getting confused by manipulation &
Excessive servitude becomes unneeded
then fail to exceed a life desire
Please tell me what I should improve.
I appreciate it!

There should be
a bechdel test
for poetry and
poets

It should
consist of
at least two
voices: one
of the self or
some other and
any other
thing
besides a
man

she's clawing out her eyes
to see that you were
never there to begin with

Tread with caution
You are not in a dream
I have felt the rose vines growing along the walls of your soul
They cannot hold back the blistering rays of tomorrow’s sunrise
You, the harbinger of tranquility and silence
The shadow that heal the wounds of unfulfilled remembrance
You, who is still pure in a world that is tainted,
The essence of every ode that has ever truly been recited
Find the place where darkness subsides
Conceal yourself among the silhouettes
Bury yourself among the ruins
Mask yourself with the ashes of the fallen
But don’t let the lifeless hands of reality find you

darling iridescence
Sorry, I'm not "little miss sunshine"--
I'm lip locked with cynicism and
having an affair with my goodbyes.
Can  you taste the sarcasm

wine for
breakfast:
the taste
is both
grape jelly
in a
childhood
summer
sweet;
and rock
bottom
bitter,
on my new
morning
tongue.
