~Otters~

Floating together
Hands embraced like lovers do
Love is two otters

~The Curious Case Of The Scarecrow~

Begrudgingly, I make my descent into the proverbial coal mines
Canary cage in left hand readily shortening my lifespan
In stark contrast, she sits there in her abysmal loneliness
Aroused by the three dots of another man's texting fingers
Caught canoodling by the cuck in her masterclass of thanklessness
Somehow, she waves her magic wand in a display of witch craft
Conjuring a manipulation spell to gaslight my sensibilities
Replacing my brain with the straw bales of a scarecrow...

~Self-Harm & Psychotropics~

Unbridled yelling met with unconstrained howling
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object
Hosting a YouTube live tutorial on self-harm & psychotropics
Alcohol on her breath & pyrotechnics in her eyes again
Confidently brandishing a Gillette razor blade shank
"Don't threaten me with a good time, babe,"
Clutching the fading memory of our last cheerful glances
One way ticket to the puzzle factory no return fare, please

~Baby Girl~

The twinkle behind those eyes
Cradling her soothingly
As you reminisce with tenderness
Bygone days as she sprouts
Flourishing into a gentle woman
The scents of her fair hair
Whispering of pheromones
She will forever be your baby girl

~My Little Lightning Bolt~

They don't understand her
Like I understand her
Electrifying bright
Firing in the night
Feeling that thunderclap
Deafening blasting clap
Type-cast as excessive
Hard-assed & expressive
Covering up those ears
Concealing up those eyes
They don't understand her
Like I understand her...

~Black Widow~

Proudly wandering into her web of deceit
He was pondering love. She was ready to eat
She was steadfast in grip for the sinking of teeth
Alas, the blood dripped, therefore accepting defeat

Hour glass figure in her dress colored crimson
Stiffness & rigor still obsessed with this vixen
Silk spinning frantic, he embraces the villain
It's killing room panic. Her prey has been bitten

~The Portico~

The hum of cicadas
On a summer's eve
In autumn guise
A deep inhale
Cherry red burns
A deep exhale
Ashy plume of fumes
Feeling contentment
Alone yet not lonely
Solid in my solitary
Exiling myself
From the virulent
Mouths spewing rancor
Cherishing the tranquility
Perched peacefully
Under the portico

-

Sorely lacking in the means for plane, train, or automobile
No luxury ticket to a far-off tropical Paradiso
I wish to travel in my mind to a heavenly surreal
Away from hopeless wraiths who appease to feed their ego

~Soup Du Jour~

Banshee like howling
Hurled bowl of tomato soup
Biting the tongue hurts

-

~Glutton For Punishment~

Screeching on the lawn
Spiderweb cracked windshield
How many red flags? 🚩
