You try to provoke me, thinking you're sly, and that I’ll give a stage to your indefeatigable ego. But I've thoroughly travelled the scenery of your drama, and will not hold space for it, any more. Instead, I'll surrender to my own stamina. Audacious, I know. You're not the only indomitable one, here.

At the cove's edge, the shadows revealed soul-nixing follies. Lewd leisure made skin shiver in disgust.

Take a breath mint, and move on.

They say, these places have love for sale. But they really sell bodies, in increments, left a little more hollow after each deal.

"The meter drives our passion,"
that's what you said.

By now, I have
thought it through thoroughly,
carefully considered every word,
and, after a sleepless night,
came to this conclusion:

I have no idea what you meant.
Is it a brilliant placeholder
for a deeper design,
or merely a glorious farce?
Please, help me understand.

To That Silent One

To the still one beholding me, and my path
benevolently turned towards
never saying a word too much
yet, each one reaches with mildest touch:
You matter. - I wanted you to know
The quiet care you gently show...
Courage rewards itself, it's true
So, I'll state it:
I see beauty in how you're being you

You gotta go with the tides.
Replenish when the surf comes in.
Let go when the water leaves.
Shoot for peace.

And what if you don't make it
until the next wave?
Well, shoot.
Too late.

Arms around her knees, crouched on the bed, she's rocking around with only one wish spat into the wintery overkill:
A shoulder to lean on - even if it only was for a brief moment.

Ninguid cars block the sidewalk. Snow primped tin forms a guard of honour. A thick layer of ice on top, the frog in my throat hibernates. Once bewitched by your charm, I guess, it was fun while it lasted. For you, anyway.

she tells me she has
an extra toothbrush

after the rain
we all become
mushroom farmers

dark pond
swallowing a frog
without a sound
#whistpr

upon reflection,
I, too, flew damn close to the sun
once.

and, still,
I mend these wings.
