Here’s some poems I’ve written over the years. I’ll be releasing more poems, so please check back for updates.
I will spin you a web of normal
A safe backdrop to your existence
I will give you the gift of consistency
A semblance of something simple
I will pretend away the darkness
A sacrifice to keep you safe
I will reset the axis of your life
A sacredness that will not be denied
I will rebalance everything
A seal upon my promise
I will spin you a web of normal.

remembrance
Sometimes I sit here
Wondering is it you or me
Who set this world in motion
Careening toward infinity
Spiraling from darkness
Exploding into nothingness
Destroying all that once was
Momentum can overwhelm you in flight
Flaming lips can burn the delicateness that is you
Passion is the greatest memoir to write itself
Unfurling wings do strike me now
remembrance unties her sash
Entreating me with her embrace once more
Into the flesh of what was
The ecstasy of her carries me away from all I believe myself to be
And I am neither you nor me
***
everything’s in lowercase
in my world
i hurt
in a way that uppercase
overwhelms me
preferring a smaller dose of
reality
i cry
for a love that fled
abandoned me at my lowest
when things couldn’t get worse
they did
he disappeared
but i will deal in my own way
in time
everything’s in lowercase
because nothing
adheres to the rules
and reality must become soft
bearable
everything’s lowercase
in my mind
the great uppercase us and i are gone
***
I have kept you alive
Nourished your spirit
Summoned your voice
Inside my mind
You remain
A dozen years after you died
I keep you here
Do you forgive me yet?
***
Again
The flies are walking around inside my head again
The bees are swimming inside your eyes again
The blood is trumpeting within my ears again
The sky is raining within your mouth again

He said she would leave him
She promised to love him
He knew she couldn’t
She swore eternal devotion
He saw her infidelity
She begged for his love
He felt her manipulations
She remained with him
He thought she was gone
She cried for him
He heard her tauntings
She died in his bed
He lived in his study
She left him
He knew she would never stay
She loved him
He loved her
