I'm coming to you once again today, Naked of soul in child's innocence, Robed in lavish scarlet of latent love, And dying for just one moment of truth. Years of whispering to the night sky, Yield to the flit of a deer's flaming tail, Turning to defy bloodied hunter's hands, At the iminent threat to... Continue Reading →
Plato’s Soulmates
You were the one who told me of creatures Split in two for being too powerful. You were the one who conjured me seer, And filled my recognition overfull. But in the moment you scorned the story, Highlighting what Plato said that denied The magnificence of this love-majesty. Yet it returned to me in love... Continue Reading →
Marinating
Well, I passed you up in years, Now I've grown up and you're...just you. College kid, working out and beer, Something old but still something new.

I try not to fear encompassing pain, When my own spirit fights my own short breath. Can you help me when I am nearly slain? Will... Continue Reading →
Come Fair Soldier
Awash in the darkened sea A dragon languishing on my chest I call the slayer near to me And beg he come and do his best. But he lies still upon the beach And gazes at the morning sun Waiting for God's will to come seek The dying princess to be his one. Come slayer... Continue Reading →
The Canal Song
I linger with the mosquito buzzing all around surrounding Dusting concrete rests below, the pelican beside me sings. Our eyes meet in the suns expanse as far as my eyes stretch Romantic dreams in the armospheres dewey sunny breath. My deepest heart climbs through my chest, struggling forward Begging you. Begging that you bestow this... Continue Reading →
