He kissed me.For one long, beautiful moment. His lips uttered a thousand storiesIn a language I’d never heard before:I understood every one.

a love chronicling [micropoem]

[[July 11]]] On now stained bedsheets where he laid me down to sleep,I did die, though my soul he refused to keep:Understanding that love is free,He reciprocated what was given back into me, And we continue in our ways Loving as promised into “forever” days.

What god/call of the wolf [a poetic]

At an edge of the wood, where there was no path,Where I explored freely,Suddenly upon the soles of my feet,Still wet on muddied play,Scratched the roughness of paved hard road,Two grey legs stretching forever beyond meFalling into the horizon.I look back at the wood behind meSearching for the knowing guiding gaze of the wolfThe wild…

Micros

Just dropping a sprinkling of pieces from the past month (1), and today (2,3) and sometime in between (4) (Enter lover) Like lightning Energy cracks his face And she knows she is welcomed (The reason your meet-up got cancelled) Love drunk Or was that the rum and not enough calamari To soak up the alcohol…

Get Naked

Let’s get naked together… Help strip me of my ego and I’ll disrobe the stress from your mind. Give up article of timidity, illusion And cast aside veils donned in shame about our truths. Kiss each other’s spirits the way we caress skin, run our hands through each other’s ideas the way we play in…

The Daily News

Yesterday’s colours splash, Fill pools on the sidewalks The present horror making cracks Great ravines of political bloodshed And placebos for real families The buses heave by Casting grey yellow crests In their wake.
