Blood of this earth
falling w/ oxen,
treacherous
ringmasters'
duplicity churning seas
into electric wasteland,
roads coming apart
from crossways
we'd paved fast
from opal dirt
purer
than the rouge
staining
smiles
under sugar-coated
influence.

Growing,
"might be
anything"
told too little,
disliked agitation,
nothing rose,
but time heard,
having knocked,
entered
unexpected,
marked contrast:
bleak,
beautiful,
voice sweet,
low pronounced,
words softer.

The wicked don't need masks on Halloween. They wear one all year round & are often the monsters they verbally condemn. I'd rather sip on a mocha latte with extra foam while a melody plays omissions from censored media, watching couples pass by in matching costumes. #LilLuvStory
Hurt transforms, breeds words,
yesterday not forever,
I hide, lost in shade.

As the sun set behind the cherry tree, it seemed to cast its blossoms into the sky where last night's ominous howls became a home for cotton candy w/ its pink-lined clouds. The provenance of hearts' light aura. #TrickyTues #FoodParty #whistpr #Sunthing #painfulprompts #BraveWrite
She confided in her mother through a talking board & always closed the gate before slumber. As nights passed, her heart began to overeat run-on thoughts of her stepmother's cozening. The gleaming knives in the kitchen wouldn't do—but something hunting in that pumpkin patch... 1/2
Prayers drip,
pool in darkness,
sink into aches
beneath worries,
crypt of your past
comes apart
to taste again
life's flurries.
Wisdom in pain
comes on its own,
crosses naivety
as it flows,
and still we ask
"why?"

Kisses behind waterfalls
and between random thoughts,
diminish violent dances,
toss anxiousness across.

I don't need to demystify the beauty of sunsets or go back to the childhood search for the trickster God. I feel no need to annoy the boy next door for a talisman oddly identical to a dried orange peel. I need to start diving in clouds to reclaim my path. #FridayKiss #BraveWrite
Under the cherry tree—kiss me in the chaos of dancing jets, kiss me when the cloud cries over his fox, kiss me when I risk storms to see you, kiss me when skies occupy still oceans, kiss me when the last blossom falls, & never let the feeling go old while waiting for another 1st.
