LP No. 04_2024_Teeth

brother
from another mother
(who happened to be my godmother)

is she really gone?
if her laugh still rings
inside?


love
connects
across distance
and time,
Death can't be proud,
cuz Love deaded that too.


let fear be transitory,
and fall back
into love, look deep,
and see
her inside of you
giggling in glee.

ghost and shadow

yesterday beckons so sweetly,
longingly calling
to the longing in your heart.



the raw magic
and beauty
of these doubt-filled moments
drown
in
a saccharine sewer of nostalgia and
fear.



Come,
let us taste of tomorrow.

Come
take just one step
with me,
and let us plunge
deep
into the wonder
of eternity.


delusion

so many secrets stalled
behind serene colored eyes.




courting the unexpected
erupting from within.




a swirling effervescence
veils mystery and intrigue.




mounting fascination,
tempered by increased anticipation,
crushed so quickly,
by some basic ass shit.



and so I move on,
again.



yet,
hope builds once more


yearning

silence
lifts soberly through this long dark night.


the quiet within
crescendos with loss.


yet,
in this mad symphony,
a fugue of hope draws close:

a slip of wind here,
tugs tight at the door-
a sprat of rain there,
slaps gentle to the ground.



Dear Tempest, I see you, so
do come quick,
and howl away this calm
with fury
& audacity, and
what needs yet be done.
