Shiva

Small words. Strange window. Lovely laughs. Headlights. Smile, it’s pretty today. Hello, goodnight. Twirling fingers. Pretty eyes. Promising. Devour. Rushed. Unrealized. Suitcases unpacked. Danger. Lustrous. Need time. Strength in an unusual form. Against rushed certainty. But thoughts follow the film score playlist. Don’t beg for more. Not now. Not ready. Just wondrous.

Slow Drive

The rain falling calmly on the leaves resembles a nighttime drive with you. Like the peace that surrounds our words, loud laughs. Not a worry. A couch conversation in a crowded room. A few more laughs and I can only hear you.

The Realization

To taste youI must waste allthat we tried to accomplishfor so long. And to waste you,I must continueto bury every emotiondeep beneath the sand. And as the sand blows away,so does every remembranceof a time once wondrous,beloved. And chronology is unsettling,yet lasting.And once it brings peace back to me,I will forever yield before her.

The Search

I placed the curse on my search with expectations set disastrously high. Remember the playground days of cute smiles and sandy eyes. Perhaps I own the fault for looking for one who understands the electricity in the chord and twilight sky. My eyes must stay open to all. Maybe I need to close them for … Read more

You know, I don’t remember

13 points down, we are defeated. One year spawns interest for everyone’s sake. Difficulty in living for others. Try to walk the rocks that separate the ocean waters from where we’ve landed. Walls of arrowheads and flint target only the best intentions. But blood and water soak the walls and remind us of the hardship. … Read more

Stars and Stripes

Her skin moves like a snake against my own,as the night watches over us like a blanket.And until the sun begins to smile,she radiates to make up the spark. Of these loud noises,you are the quietest.

Canvas

I kick the sand forward as the sun opens its eyes. I must hurry while we’re still suspended in time. You bring a beauty that all can admire, It’s getting close to the smell of spices, blended in with cold noses, family. I want it wrapped up. Your laugh rings warmer than the blanket. The fog … Read more

If I act a little strange

Did you read my mind? I sweat out the thoughts that night. But our smiles overshadowed what was really going on. More than expected. Reality from thoughts. Sort of shocked and shy. I hope you didn’t mind. Fiery when it counts. Sweet like an Otter Pop on a hot day. Careful and without a care. … Read more

Slight of Hand

Turn off the house lights. Sip the wine. Dark club sounds brush her by. This is life. In slow motion I walk in. In the handshake, a hint of sin. Maybe she has an idea. No, she doesn’t have a clue of what I love to do with a flick of the wrist. The magic … Read more

Memory Medley

The water drips down my bottle and back into the ocean. It’s almost 2006 all over again. The electricity surrounds me with the lights off. Cue the gloom? Let me get a Rob Roy. Are you a regular here? This is Manhattan. And you’re no married type. But you are. Remember Pasadena. Roses grow here, … Read more
