my gut’s opinion
warred with my love sick pining
surviving myself
(Senryū)
Fame
shines with
bright artificial light
in the valley of
narcissism.
(Elfchen)
A thesaurus
is a devilish
device
to soften maleficence
by the innocuous choice of ill.

That dead to the world feeling
(while still impatiently alive)
Not knowing what terrible beast comes
Slipping out from the ebon blackness
Wandering life, hoping to find a small light
Only more darkness seen in eager search
Let there be light, Oh, Let there be light,
Please let there be light

Decay marks my soul
Locked in cage
Hung above the waves
Despair coming in wavelets
A yearn that aches
Smitten by rotten stench

Sticky rivers run down my hand.
Under the summer sun,
Sweet chocolate swirl melts on my tongue.
As the song fades in the distance,
Meet me behind the shed.
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

That little girl in photograph
Broken front tooth
& a cheesy smile
A sad gaze
And a lopsided head
Begging for solace

Her raised gaze
He saw wavelets
Brimming
About to roll down
But didn't
Her smile was the reef

a crack in the sky
I lean the eye into
the puncture of light
for closure
of heartbreak's wound
supernatural healing
