Devour

taking breath
consuming flesh
eater of
beating things

darkend beast
be ravaged by
needless scent
of intoxicating
dreams

ever still
devour me
whole
wrapped in
sweet memory

your lips
do kill
like venomous
webbed in
sexy threads
of we

Rubble

ashes
debris
it’s what remains
on the residue
of time

ruins
wreckage
remnants of life
just dust
of yours and mine

residual
it’s what is left
like
uneaten
hungry words

fade to grey
in metal hearts
where each
beat is slightly
blurred

pieces left
and tatters right
strewn across
each thought
of we

if you look
for me
it’s what remains
in the
rubble of memory

Watch “The Civil Wars – Kingdom Come”

Some haunting, dusty boot music to settle rattling bones.

Amazing lyricists for sure…

Gingerz n Wordz Tho… Watch “Luke Combs- Must’ve Never Met You”

Sadly… That’s Just the Way It Is

“Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break…. I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought, an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.”

Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness

Singe

Some singe the strand that binds a bird to emotion riddled dreams.

Doth thou not know that even in love not all is as it seems?

Singe the cord. Still stretched in time, but burning at one end.

Doth thou not know that even in love there is not a cardinal mend?

Some singe a strand, which ties a bird to the heavens in glass dreams.

Doth thou not know that even in love the strand burns right at the seam?

Burn

their book
it burned
page by page
with chapters
never read

each page
a wish
tucked in
a dream
ink ablaze
and fiery red

Floaty

Float away… in muck
and love… made of the
finest soup you crave

I give… I take… dance
sleepless miles… always
bending just to save

I love your life of
sleeker streams… built
right… to suit your
dreams

Floating high… I feel
the heat… meant to
scortch the weakest
things

Float away… in muck
and love… made right…
to suit your needs

I give… I take… swim
in my sleep… always
lost amongst the weeds

So Much More

Not just the way he pulled her locks… but how he pulled the tides within her heart.

Not just hands reaching salty sweet… she could feel his soul touching each part.

Each part of her… from crown to tail… like the ocean soaking up the beach.

A sailor’s dream… a lonely drink… mermaid just beyond his reach.

Conceal and Carry

conceal and carry
love and such
writhing under your skin

pushed away
with softest strength
just like a borrowed sin

striker-fired
aim for the heart
inflamed with exit wounds

his bullets… gold
will kill a queen and
leave territory in ruins

The Strand

a fragile strand
straight from my soul
still stretches out to thee
tattered by wind
and sleepless nights
it’s your only path to me
lush with love
and silken breath
the strand’s defeated time
enthralled by web
a haunted chill
your memory is mine

Frozen Reminder

Loved the latest season of Gotham. My favorite quote of the season was in the finale.  

Riddler… “Why didn’t you just kill me Oswald?”

Penguin… “You are the one time I let love weaken me and I want you around as a constant reminder to never make that mistake again.”

Beautiful

~~~~~~~~”All is Vanity” by C. Allan Gilbert, 1873-1929

derived from deep under the skin…beauty is more than meets the eye

radiate with inner strength…a real beauty never dies

× in fog ×

Photograph of fog in Santa Fe, New Mexico (January 2017) by Felicia Lujan

aimlessly × the road she roams × her heart × a guide she trusts

faces lost × they come and go × those things familiar × cloaked by fog

within the haze × beacons of hope × lights bright × yet hidden still

relentlessly × the road × she roams × her mind a puzzle × she can’t trust

faces × cold × they stay then leave × those things unkonwn × disguised by fog

within the smoke × the mirrors break × lights beam yet shed no light

hopelessly × the road × she roams × her heart × a guide she needs
