The Earth let out an orgasm, shuddering into a moonless sky while the stars encircled her, like vultures scouting prey. The wolves writhed by dawnlight, set aflame by the sun, stumbling over starving whelps, and howling at the Day. Land eroded water, and the oceans drifted stangnant, without the moon’s eternal pull, its maternal wombContinue reading “Rape of the Earth”

God sent Me
I carry a peace of the universe in my heart. Gifted to me at my genesis I was told at the start that: I was a candle that would burn so bright only some would ever truly not-ice. And so, I clutch this flame in the palm of my hands burning my flammable skin. BecauseContinue reading “God sent Me”
Dear cursed you-ni-verse.
I don’t understand the purpose of this hurt. Me as you may my existence prays in the beast’s honed jaws. This boat shipwrecked on Ogygia’s breast. Broke her clavicle, suckled her nipples. Dry-ads damn my oars. Scylla’s sadism, stinging catechism. W-ar scintillates mor than Janus’s throes Marred by death’s own claws.
She is an Enchantress
Spindling heart strings on Silk spools And weaving them Into tapestries Her agate eyes Are finely carved by God’s platinum knife And she pierces the hearts Of those who covet her Like a trophy Barring her own Her maiden hair Cascades down the arch of Her back Ringlets and Rivulets in a Raveled and recedingContinue reading “She is an Enchantress”

Through life——-and death serendipity——-and adversity luxury——-and poverty To beContinue reading “A Wife of vice and virtue”
Eye Contact with the Past
when He looked me in the eye… masochism amalgamated his serrated features deception glinted like a knife in his ascetic gaze little did he know I was too far gone into the light to ever retrace my sybaritic steps back into the minotaur’s maze
The Origins of Sin
Where did sin come from? How do we truly define good and bad if society is a man-made construct? We are all floundering flowers In God’s garden of life Some are nightshade or hemlock While others are prickly roses Wrought only to toil in strife In the pursuit of our ambition We scatter poisonous pollenContinue reading “The Origins of Sin”
The Wheels on the Bus…
Turn like the relentless gears Of my mind In constant anticipation Of what is to come Shifting and shuttling They’re racing against time And I can feel the thump of my heart Shuddering up my lungs The apshalt road before me Grinds beneath the lurching brakes The world shoots by Washing windows in pastel crimsonContinue reading “The Wheels on the Bus…”
At Man’s Mercy
I am an ant Scurrying to catch the sugar of your words Each sweet granule melts against the Flames of my back While I swerve to do your bidding You entice and manipulate me like a mere puppet on a string of straw I attempt to wiggle free From your embrace And relieve myself ofContinue reading “At Man’s Mercy”
