BakeMy plate is always piled
yet my fork has nothing on it,
beamed up by sensory overload
onto a different culinary planet.

with my...

Midas WellMidas Well is the final destination
Of pilgrims who are slave to their thirst.

A palm tree-shaded den of the cursed.
Midas Well tempts the lazy and the foolish,
With hazy gas-lit visions...

Lily GardenShe is an evil blossom
the day lilly of disorder
she exhales a deadly hypnotism
Marion breathes in the heady elixir
which wallows in her eyes
those lilly stalks
are perhaps intercoursing a nostrum daily

AddictionWhy have you plagued me?
Why have you latched on my soul not ready to leave?
What's my offense?
Why have you fought my desires to do away with you?
Why have you cried me to sleep?
Why have you...

StuckIce touching the
ends of my hair.
I guess I am
no longer going
anywhere.
I thought that this
would be a fresh start.
A new beginning.
A start of something new.
But the clouds have followed
me all the way through.
DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!

FateShe spoke to me today.
Her maudlin phrases poured out of her like liquor.
Her cup half empty, and her eyes half closed, she wept.
For the knowledge of her faults and her flaws, for the knowledge...

Calls My NameThe orb calls to me, beckons breast beat,
blood in veins permeates, face red with heat,
as I asphyxiate, am dominated, reach climax.
Each time lustful, more powerful, sensual.

addicted to...

Broken promisesPromise me your hands will reach out
Resilient attachment starts in childhood
When the brain has colic outside the womb
A mother’s unconditional love soothes worries

You All Hold The KeyIn this cell is where it all grows
The fear
The hope
The lost

Inside us
The balance shifts
The weight heavy
The cross awaits
Time the judgement
In this place
We are...

Consuming FireLicking my wounds.

from my pelvic floor.
Somehow, I am wanting more.
More of the pain
without it there’s
