When she fell pregnant he told her depression was Said the baby could end up just like her.

He insisted on tests for every “imperfection” under the sun.

Only if the baby returned pristine results would it be of his love.

Suddenly, it all made sense.#vss365

I cut myself a sharp slice of reality
Stare at the on my phone
A the one I've been waiting for
After hopeless months in this of despair
I pop some to take away the pain
Tomorrow I'm getting a new heart

in my heart
are her photographs
painted with my feelings
exhilarating & healing;
I unveil these sometimes
recalling times
when life was a dream
loving her, the only theme;
scripted with of longings
they’re my only belongings.

Abstract vulnerability
a childlike lens
bending images
of final Autumn days
The white winds
of Winter
breathing frozen fury
across forests
of forgetting
Icy hypnotism
in a mind
full of matters
Burnished red and gold
still searching
for answers
while breaking the mold

Gangster
Got a golem
To collect his debts
For free

He stuck
Edicts
On its head—
A

I wrote it
New instructions
And now it works
For me

Golem crammed
With scam commands,
I’ve hijacked
Skillfully

It’s chasing
That dumb gangster
From sea
To shining sea…

Dawn slips,arms of night
falls ashen & dull
mist'g my brow

her nippy palms,cup my ears
ruckus of cicadas
astir in owl-light
scatters

I walk in her dewy arms
sip calm off her hands
sing her nascent bird song

she stretches her amaranthine talma
gifts me
day
anew

Blue peacocks shine sapphire,
You knew I would come tonight,
Mine I thought!
You were created for me,
I feel no in claiming,
What has always been mine,
I don’t wish for immortal love,
I want to live that love,
Take my hands,
Let me lie in your shade,
You did…

The trend of fingertips
to reach
voices of thin veil souls
in communities
feel no love of
garage bands or
grease monkey oil changers
Cherubs sound laughter
bounces no more off shingles
& bike chains
Rabbit holes replace
tomato gardens

How do we normalize the unconventional and advance the cause of humanity? We open our minds to the creative geniuses that dare rock the system.

The two lovers dance with abandon, their shimmery skins reflecting the double rainbow that adorns the sky, their vibrant, orange and purple crowning their elegant visages, their deep, brown soulful eyes scanning time's horizon, hopeful of a beautiful new future.

awkward and
misanthropic
darkest darling
somehow the
plume of a
swan pretend
waltzing out
of my gothic
fantasy can
no longer go
on like this
as a quiet friend

Why spend your life apologizing for the past? Come to me, my love, & kiss me like a gone wild—make me smile & we’ll lay in bliss while the outside world watch & our love. ✍️🏽#vsspoem

If only you knew,
That love is not that simple,
It’s a long
That sometimes last a lifetime,
With no happy ending.
Love and anger are siblings,
Always at war with each other,
Entangled,indivisible love..
You broke my
I broke yours,
Now let’s burn together.

breaths shaking with ice
warm blanket of
snowflakes are nice
safe and sound
in the roar of wind
fingerprints dust
my only friend
cold and alone

She had hair & eyes the color of the frozen lake. When I was eight, I saw her standing at the edge of the trees where her body had been found. The adults got angry with me, saying I shouldn’t make up stories about the dead girl. But I know what I saw.
