mean girls
Come break my heart again
I’m attracted to mean girls with high heels
And an attitude of entitlement
With hearts of steel they bend men
Like aluminum fences to their will
The angels never dabble in our business
But compassionate liars are harder to find
And it's rare that you end up seated
With two of them at the same table

technomancy
Surrounded by insanity we wander idly by
On islands of discovery we try to catch flies
Distances decline as we move beyond our minds
And find ourselves better off
Without the gadgets most people buy

Thresh-holds
High intensity is not likely,
to cause any serious problems,
But a lack of integrity, definitely will.

Pajamamas
In sweet water
we fish and swim
When we are finished
We give it back
To Pachamama
This music is good
And hunger is our attitude
Diagonal winds
Further our stories
Hundreds of copies
Are made each day
Before we've awakened
Cities taste like fried rice
And we wait on lines
For cokes and coffees
Relativity tries to explain
What it can't deny
That we are unstable and often high
You are gullible like the night sky
As single women
Drift along your incision
It's a mission to not hunt them all at once
Juggle the waterfall and pay for her dinner
Gifts are abundant
And some are seeking you too
Kindred spirits kindle our fire
As tired hands hug their mother
Love is burning with desire
Cool down and we can begin to dig
Listen to the sounds that are far away
Beyond your mansions
Into the woods
We drove for days
And still no one
Understood our need for silence
And sometimes our dramas
We were in need of laughter
So i attached a pair
Of jumper cables
To the inside of your pajamas

naked and unabashed
I'm awake and aware
But at this hour it's only fair
To assume that we are crazy
Love is waiting in our apartment complexes
Sinister judges take your collateral
And watch you fall down without their council
Pounds of chocolate offered to the gods
As if we should be honored by their presence
The heat and steam rose from the ashes
And you were naked and unabashed
Money never gave you anything for good
Those streets were composites of our memories
And real neighborhoods are deserted like cemeteries
You swaddle the baby in ceremonial blankets
And remove the furniture from your living rooms
Return to movement innocent like a child
We are wild like the buffalo, in summer's heat
Grown men fall to their knees and beg you for your beauty
We have grown our healing herbs in buckets
And lost our minds in raging rivers
And gathered colorful flowers in vibrant fields
Amidst the most luxurious company of equals

crescent eyes
I sold my rope to a dreamer
Her crescent eyes held fast to signs of hope
You removed your clothes and found my sleepy soul
And consoled me for nothing
When did we get hunted
Hungry wolves ripped off our clothes
I suppose you were waiting for something
Or someone new to come along
Sunlight always sparkles
At the first crack of dawn

turtles sparkle
A poem is a wave.
Love is a feather.
Send me your heart in a letter.
I will read it by the ocean.
Movement is denial.
You lied through your smile.
I can see your insides.
Buying out the real estate.
Poetry made you soft.
Feelings are lost in your basement.
Sands shift and apples fall from our treetops.
I am bottomless.
We read the newspaper,
To find the flavors we savor,
In morning’s fragile kitchen.

Pale blue water
Turtles sparkle
Reefs made of diamonds
Lungs topple tyrants
Relatives and root canals
Police the equator
Fake staircases
Leading everywhere

self evidence
Poetry is not pretentious
Love is not defensive
God is not a sentence
I refuse to be your invention

Grief rings
Sun showers and baths in cold water
We have fallen angels in our bones
Our eyes have seen the ancient roads
So we wash our minds in paleolithic streams
And wander these streets in turbulent need of comfort
Hands tied I waste time burying my feelings
Grief rings a bell and all who hear it
Must eventually heed it's warning
So long architecture
If all the falling buildings finally crumbled
Then would you break free
Like an old violin at a tired symphony
The sound of rain falling from the Pleiades
Pouring down from heaven
While seven sisters dance
Wildly beneath the oak tree
Mar 2019 · 669
wandering overboard
Dance on the water,
Love is the wind that guides our ships.
Paddle boarding in this river is rare,
She says, no need to worry,
For I've come well equipped.

Sting my eyes with your soap

hesitant at best
Instead of being grateful, we are fed up with our insignificance.
Goddesses blush upon your arrival. Is it survival or just a coping mechanism?

if our lines are aligned
If only she would come a little nearer
It's so complicated to relate to each other
These emotions we've hidden
Sometimes our feelings are as sweet as wine
And drums keep time with our inner rhythm
Breath is our mind
So we savor each moment
My heartbeat is reaching astronomic levels
You bless the elves that drown in your sorrows
Punch me in the gut
I am bending over backwards
To read between your lines
Mar 2019 · 73
thank goddess
grief is a form of madness
that only some are worthy of.

your smile (two-too-to)
Dead to the world
With a black dress and a **** figure
Literally color blind
When underwear is broken
Grief is a tragic missile
I make you laugh
Until you can’t take it
Nuzzle me with your fingers
Sting my eyes with soap
Ply me with flirtatious smiles
Your eyelashes will surely tell me
All I ever really want to know
Mar 2019 · 130
déjeuner
Do we drift on by
And travel in the astral
I see visions on your body
How your lips remind me
Of how i long to touch you
We sleep for hours
And then begin to cuddle
Lunch hours are over
And yet we are still hungry
You demand your needs to be met
As if the shadow of a doubt
Could ever truly be erased
Oh sister choose your path wisely
Everybody wonders
At what they can’t explain
Blind as heat lightning
Regret is certainly a useful burden
So learn to surf these waves
Instead combine love with gravity
And God shall become more
Than just a sentence some day

Ski-school keeps us cool

ramblings
Maybe in the end, Socrates was the only person in history who had any clue about what was going on. And he mostly chose to remain quiet about it. Only a man who knows for certain that he doesn’t know a **** thing, is a true man, according to him and me.

Vindictive saviors
Impenetrable circumstances
Burning with vehemence
Whenever you try to change your reality
Something always goes wrong
Strange strategies
Sycophantic tendencies
Implacable regard for authority
Verbose prattle pouring out of me
Disregard for seniority
Compulsive writing
Swollen images
Strategies and syntax
Swollen paragraphs
Sordid heirogyphs
Stolen from a pharoahs tombs
Smoke and flame erased our names
From yesterday's history books
Still we resume our communications
And behold we are talking to you
Vindictive saviors
Never waver from the truth
You think you're clever
But you'll never know the use
You'll never rule the earth
Sediments demand sacrifice
Highways of vultures pursue our youth
Mar 2019 · 144
post-lingual
Polyphonic burdens in our native tongue
Guttural agglutinations living on the run

spiritual material
Plumes of sacred feathers
Retired air force generals
Balancing against our wills
Handstands demand attention
Stand ***** and face the firing squad
What a load of garbage
Who are we to speak of this
You bring me to my knees
I resemble my father
And you take after me
Are we destined to swim
In uncertain territory forever
What are we aiming our minds at creating
Brands and businesses are fading
Instagram demons sweep through your basements
Bringing up subconscious lessons
From suitcases buried deep within our closets
The currency of yoga these days is spiritual bypass
As models and actresses become the norm as teachers
Robust beauties bouncing in their bedrooms
With ample bodices and bosoms all for sale
Mar 2019 · 1.5k
flirtatious
You are long gone
Flirting with disaster
Eating your way through life
Won’t make you any wiser
Just passing through
But after 30 comes
You face your fears
A little faster every year
We are all equals in this theater
We are all sequestered here
By our ancestors
We were molested by their fears
Mar 2019 · 91
is decency descending
Strategies are decent
If we are pleasant to look at
I wonder if you have a diamond necklace
Would you mind if i pawned it
I love your ashen appearance
Last chance to buy this on clearance
Permanent breathing
Baking our wheat in the oven
It rises into fiery clouds of dough
You can't control your appetite
Instead align your soul
Mar 2019 · 71
doubtful desserts
I am a poem wandering in the desert
I am a word chosen from the masses
You left your casket open
I suspect intention to be a lost cause
Forces of virtue soften our servitude
You swallow your dinner alone
Correct me if i'm wrong
But there is no place that you belong
Perhaps only to god and the devil himself
You don't get extra credit for breathing
But there is extra popcorn if you need it
Please sweep the floors and clean the dishes tomorrow
Your sword is as long as your shadow
We remove the arrows from our blankets
And then beat each other into straw-woven baskets
Severance packages excepted
We accept the accidents we've caused
You pursue hunger and wake up alone
Feet first I flew to the edges of the horizon
I am a child burdened with awareness
So forget the heaviness of the density we fell through
If you need some help i know just who to call
Forever waiting for there is only one hand that serves all
Unless you are worried about your soul, after all
There is no need for alarm as the fences are electrified
We are vivacious and vilified by our spouses
Doubt has ruined many beautiful houses
And turned what was once our home into a pile of stones
And you believe that companions are just creatures
Who have temporary need of each others' features
Mar 2019 · 208
in the third-person
I hesitate to ask you
Why you’ve returned
Sunburned and broken
Before the third word is spoken
You've corrected me again
I may be wrong but i think
That there is a song
Inside of you worth saving

love triangles
Come break out of angular prison
And become liquid crystalline again
Hexagonal structures channeling electric current
Consciousness repeats it's own melodies
We deepen our intention and self awareness
I bless the edges of your defensive mind
Two lovers once entangled blend together for life

moonlight
You sentimental fool
You broke all the rules
And now you will have to suffer
For what was uncovered
Was better left alone
As grief is both a prison and a poem
A thousand words too long
You are a victim and i am a song
Concern yourself with reason
And you may do yourself real harm
We shall let the river guide us
And then we'll travel on
By moonlight we will follow
The water’s serpentine meandering
And allow our candles to burn out
Triads of dreams inevitably
Come unraveled at the seams
Until we learn to speak in tongues
Borrowed from our grandmothers
Some say that love’s escapades
Are too dangerous for their heart
So we've learned to stay
Far away from those people

elbow roomy
Coordination and compassion
Rest upon the wrist
But the elbow is beyond your grip
It slips and rips and tears
and bends
Before it springs into action  
once again
I am a lung
I breathe in and out
The language of love
Echoes from the mouth of the universe
at rest there is only silence
I am best used for singing
and diving
I am another form of respiration
I am salvation in insolvent situations
You must learn liberation
whenever I go on vacation
At the moment i am resting
my bones
For love is answered
in silent overtones
Whenever we are alone
Tongues are entwined
And tonight we shall dine
on our tiptoes

verisimilitude
Desire is a fire
That connects us to the heavens
Reminds us of our origins
We are ambivalent to the gods
While they speak using our tongues
Words and symbols are plenty
Yet totally empty
Devoid of meaning
Without ample life experience
We flounder in a sea of groundless being
A dichotomy indeed
To breathe and seethe
With the rawness of needs and desires
I inspire compassion and attraction
Magnetic action is diverse and never perverse
We are reflective, selective and interconnected
We are agile, fragile and dance like daffodils
We are saddled with guilt and shame
Yet you ride ******* through life’s pain
On unstable horizons
Dinosaurs deny your company
And relatives neglect the comfrey
Leave piles of waste behind their houses
Impermanent traces of yesterday’s pottery

demonstrate the allegorical
Paint a picture even if it's boring
You are accompanied by angels
Radiant salvation agitated in the heat
We beat the drum tonight
Let gods speak and humans quiver
The soul nears it's inevitable fatigue
Remedies and lies demand a sacrifice
I rest in embraces too complicated to utter
Hundreds of wings upon the watershed
And the beauty of it's passion
Is that never again shall we fly like this
I rise to the occasion of another Lover
Hunger for bodies that only meet in chaos
We demonstrate the allegorical
Lost hours remind us of our mortality gone by
Sign language utters nothing but signals all
Lost in between our dichotomous stories
We take liberties and pursue only intransigent categories
What a trajectory of tragedy and unheeded warnings
Inevitably I let her overtake me
Her eyes are a smooth internment
Her lips are a velvet curtain
Sheets of rain like fabric drape around her
Marble hands and ******* set against the stars
It's time to rest so you sit back and breathe
And allow daylight to seep from your eye sockets
We dream of towns in Greece where children sing
And wander freely through wanton streets
We drift between reality and fantasy
Faster than you can say uncle
It punches me in that place of hollow sorrow
These burning places scorched and sacred like swollen feet
We fell asleep in the grove and removed old stones
To take home a part of the earth with us
We journey against the wind as compassion is a vision
Gone are those memories yet again we ascended
Dense like leaves of comfrey boiled in water
You can no longer control the insurgent flutters of your stomach
As we dance our souls descend back into our bodies

Underneath the woven tapestry of life
Concrete visions are the norm
Permanent storms are raging war
Upon each other’s dorm-rooms
Red faced and wasted i saw you naked
And fell in love with your ancient body

Monarch destiny
Buzzing on a winter’s day
Limitless navigation
On hummingbird trajectory
Monarch destiny
Royal ambivalence
Killed the priesthood
Founded in infamy
We make reality into a thing
Houses sold for food
Fodder for the wolves
Drunk on passion
You lost hope
Musical abandonment
On tandem wings we rose
As roses flowered
Our gardens bloomed
Every hour a new transition
Old hymns and prayers resumed
Mar 2019 · 459
real time writing
Awake or asleep it doesn’t mean a thing
There is an empty space between everything
We are carbon copies of cosmic iconography
And the dawn plays tricks on our vision
Swollen objects appear to arrest our women
Until we give them lemon and ginger in their water
A hegemony of homogeneous sums
Those Suns and daughters quietly shower
In the waterfall of their parent's fading laughter
Mar 2019 · 761
porcupine people
Compound theories appear in the sky
We are awakened to the sound of lullabies
Alibis drift into our skylines
We are mindful of a decline
Lions roar underneath the covers
We are uncovered in our clutter
Punctual demigods sit on their thrones
While other people suffer
We just wander all alone
Phone calls on Sundays
You return them all collect
Yet the edges of discovery
Are sometimes harder to suspect
Mar 2019 · 386
Radically Vulnerable
Undress the equivalency
Inequality imperceptibly
Communicates that
Every hand is a doorway
Every heart is a universe
Perverse or natural
Lack of the artificial
Sans particles or clothing
You articulate your elbows
I dance with fireflies
Illuminated by candles
Are we radicals
Or just extra vulnerable
