There is a world
behind your eyes
to get lost inside
a safe place to hide
when troubles
crowd my mind

there is a universe
within your smile
full of stars that shine
& the heat of suns
to keep me warm

& when life becomes
too much for me
in your cosmic embrace
I find the strength
to face each day.

Waxing nostalgic,
Some old vinyl did the trick,
Dancing in the past.

𝘓𝘪𝘭𝘺, 𝘙𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺⁣
& 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴,
precious memories
reading Nancy Drew
to a Dylan track

even then
I was nostalgic
for a time & place
I'd never been—
1960s USA

mild sundays
dreaming I was
someone else
someplace else

by the end
of my reverie
Dylan's song was done
& Nancy had solved
her mystery.

In the hushsound of
a still evening, there I sense
the world's gentle pulse.

Ranking days
on a scale
of one to ten,
they seem
to cluster
low to middling

the heavy quagmire
I've inherited,
that I used
to fly above,
slowly pulling
me under,
'til I'm trapped
in the mud

I used to wonder
at the clouds
around my
parents' heads,
now I wryly
ponder mine
instead.

Old wounds grip the plow
turning stones into soft soil-

Life demands
consume my mind,
but then,
always—
it returns
to you

mundane tasks
occupy my hands,
until they land
upon your skin—
all else,
forgotten

the world sits heavy
on my heart,
as it beats
quietly

until you
enter the room

then all the world
becomes
the pulsing sound
of love.

A Garden Without Mercy

Inside me, the vines invade.  
Barbed tendrils forcing their way  
through soft tissue,  
splitting the seams of thought  
with slow, creeping hunger.

They coil around my bones 
claiming territory,  
tightening until the marrow 
feels the ruin of pressure.
Every breath is a negotiation  
with something that 
refuses to loosen.

Weeds erupt in untended hollows,
cracking the dry, obedient 
earth of my mind. 
Rising fast,  
feral,  
unapologetic.
Feeding on the detritus of thoughts
littering the ground.
   
A choking mass of green  
drags the light down with it.  
I feel the roots shifting,  
rewriting the map of my insides  
with their ruthless persistence.

There is no mercy in this garden,  
only survival,  
and the quiet comfort  
that even in ruined soil
something refuses to die.

deranged, ranting and raving
"they're coming!" he cried.

Acquired Past

They vend a false morrow,
It's just stock to borrow,
The price of each accord.

With future so assured,
A past must be procured.
A cost to be endured.

Picassoed memories
stitched together
with smells of spring—
flowers blooming

and you there,
in each one—
a collage of us
like a silly rom-com
though serious as sin
because my heart
is on the line —

though you hold it close,
a delicate flower
blooming
in the warmth
of your sun.

Beneath my bonny
& modest exterior,
amid the vines
& weeds of me,
the lycanthrope hides—
waiting, watching,
for the moon

at night
her fierce eyes shine
with all
the day denies

she remembers
that quiet is a habit
& howls a battlecry
from a soul
loud as thunder.
