waitin for the subway

Inspiration: Waiting for the train at Fullerton
Word: mayhem, whisper

Elaborate Mayhem
Distant Sirens
Erotic Laughing
And the spouts of an erupting argument
Sing a quiet murmur
The exhaust of an engine
Elevates toward you
Inspired by the rhythm of the wheels
You listen to a calm tune that quiets all
and you
into
a disheveled whisper


not really my style, but I like streachin myself

mindless thinking

I opened
my caged place of passion
and sprinkled it lighty into the palm of your hand
so that you might enjoy my love
and desire me too

Morning

Hot Breath

Inspiration: I hate when people talk to me with bad breath and chapped lips
Word: tart, bitter

Tart breath sings rings of fire around her neck
bitter chapped lips relapse in their own misfortune
and dissolve at their exsposure to repolsvie lava
oozing out like a hasty cut
by the parting of lips

A sweet illusion of glee

Inspiration: Snow Storm of 2011
Word: Sweetness

It began
with
iridescent flakes cascading down
like sprawled out children's hands
asking for a delightful taste of sweetness
found in the taste of delicate snowflakes
melting into disappearance on warm tongues
happy eyes danced at the pure sight of the dazzling flakes
mounting into a wonderland in which they-
would exude their sweet bliss into snow angles and snowmen
no school bells rang to interrupt their joyfulness
this enduring glee, reflecting
glittering snowflakes
was enough
