You burned through the forest
grove, where spring moaned
with gusto—raw, longing, wild
Your smile slipped between
trees, or teased from the full
moon’s scattered pearls
Your gaze flared through
blue leaves, and
a pink curl—bold—dared
to echo the flush of your
untamed, blushing cheeks

"Anyone who ever let me in his body or arms I still feel grateful to. That's why so many of my friends are old lovers, I suppose. And that includes, these days, dying and dead friends as well, to whom the flesh, my flesh, still connects me."

the moon is on your side

someone once loved someone

it could happen again

when the shores
gave her right form
her river ran to the ocean
a flock of ravens
helped her
mark what was closest
& drink from what was farthest
when dusk leaned in
instead of turning away
she drew light
from purple edges
rooting time
into #vision
of the journey itself

A faded plastic statue of the Virgin Mary
taped to the dashboard of his green El Dorado
Alligator takes pains to make sure
his satin shirt doesn't wrinkle
his oil soaked boots against the pedal
he progresses against all measure and
He wanders outside the realm
"Of Saturn Devouring His Son"

Love is like an echo.
You can hear it.
At times, you can feel it.
but can't grasp onto it.
As you pour your heart out to be set on fire within.
Only to be left with ambers in the dark.

unpopular opinion maybe but posting online is writing. It’s not marketing. It’s not strategy. It’s literature in public.

I moan your name
in the glitch between wild sighs,
a brass-laced fire
branding my starving lips.
I hunt the shimmer
of your shadow,
fingers ripping time’s velvet.
Each syllable—a snowy rose,
a brutal bloom of strength,
devoured again and again
until silence screams for mercy
