Mother Earth watches and judges
As her Sun drops diamonds
Into his sister Ocean
Filling her with sparkling laughter
And their cousin Wind breathes
In smiles, exhaling peacefulness

A tantalizing tales
The details illegible
Rhymes and whimsy
Of a mystic's parable

A note of a song
Becomes a lover's letter
A white flag waving
Signifying a siren's

You find yourself in world
Rough and tumble
Slow and soothing
The exquisite etiquette of invitation

Blood continued to drip
Oh what a tale it told
The atlas contained a hidden story
Secrets of the wealth of old
Turmoil was the realm’s legacy
Nothing survived the encroaching tide
Just a haunted map of a haunted place
Where hands of power & plunder still reside

Parallel realities
and the unknown variables
of change
burn like glass
against straw
I don’t need an atlas to know
where it’s going to ignite first
and where it will rage
Rebirth from ashes is difficult

He put his hand on the back of her head and pressed his lips to hers. It was desperate. Pleading. Almost frantic. Like the first time he had kissed her.

Val drew away and slapped him. The sound—crack—echoed off the cinder block walls.

Her dark eyes faded to Mars' ashen red, hair grew brittle as autumn leaves blown far from home. Frantic thoughts boiled in Mother's stare, but a queen must remain her hushed mask no matter how dire her child's state.

Her dream was so vivid, she could smell his amazing, wild scent. Taste the passion dripping from the kisses of the man with the white wings.

When her alarm blared, she wanted to cry... until noticing the single feather clutched in her hand.

I laid on the floor with a cold glass of water against my forehead, letting sunlight shimmer on my near asleep eyes as I vowed to kiss him when I was well enough. It never happened. The fevers weren't simply contagious. They were deadly.

History
Charm
Sophistication
Obstinate yearning
within a jasmine flush
Burning legacy
Built
of hallowed dreams
We sleep below
nova skies
& perish
in perfect screams.

My landlord’s charge
To have a dog
Is so high
It’s insane

I buy some
Betta fighting fish
And give them
Pit bull names...

All except
For “Jasmine”
Who detests
The fighting game

My kids
Try to
Teach them
To bark—
I fear their work’s in vain

Mardi Gras

Fly, fly, fly away

Tangled webs that people weave, lies and deception that some believe. Heart, heads over matter—fear of the unknown and gossipy chatter. Hummingbirds mate for life—while humans fuss, fight, and create strife. ✍🏽#Vss365

How our minds
When we do set sail
Upon unchartered waters
While stars in the heavens
Gaze down in wonder
The vagaries of Man
Mere flecks in a universe
Wildly spinning
Unfocussed
Are but cruel amusements
To the whims of Gods

Song ditty 🎶

Into the depths of confusion
You know how to my brain
I'm in a state of delusion
You got me playing your game
I'm a puppet in your riddle
Tied up in for life
You pull my strings a little
The joker dances tonight

The park was a muddled prison, a place you attended on Easter to experience broken toes & near-disembodied screeches that bring your thoughts to banshees—but the little ones' chocolate-smeared grins were worth it.
