I’ve been seeing faces in objects They watch silently Judging me Sneering at my prospects I’ve been hearing voices in the wind Like a bloodhoundSniffing ‘roundHowling for its kin Lately, I’ve noticed people staring Then they look away Join the fray Before our eyes meet Lately, I’ve heard strangers swearingWhispered words Their faces blurred ThenContinue reading “Faces in Objects”

Keepers of Your Flame
Right now You’re a small bunch of cellsCan’t believe one day you may be Giving us hellHanging out with friends we don’t like Coming home way past midnight Right now You’re an ultrasound shape You’ve got a heartbeat, eyes, and limbs And even a weight I’m trying to keep my fears at bay Praying thatContinue reading “Keepers of Your Flame”
To Steward a New Soul With You (A Proposal)

Catastrophic Calm
Last night I dreamt that burning planes were falling from the sky Twisters were tearing through the fields You just stood and stared in a pair of heelsSomething was awryThere was a glint in your eye As you sank your teeth into an apple with a thick red peel When I snapped awake, you wereContinue reading “Catastrophic Calm”
Corner of Your Mind
There’s a dark corner of your mind That every now and then you visit Sometimes it’s a comfortSometimes it’s a curseBut it’s not going anywhere is it? There’s a light winking by the bayA carousel spinning in the night A fortunate teller’s booth, Incense and a golden toothShe don’t read palms but she’s got theContinue reading “Corner of Your Mind”

What I Want You to Know
I want you to know what you do to meBut I don’t know how to say it Some otherworldly alchemyCan’t measure, map, or weigh it I want you to know my valleysThe jagged stones and streams withinWhere do I begin?

Linger
I’m wading in the memory of the magic of last night When our bodies, slow and tender, came together and took flight It’s not a flashback, it’s time becoming space The path along your back that my fingers softly trace You say you hear the ocean when you rest against my chest You’re the moonContinue reading “Linger”
