just the ache
no pill will fix, I took two
just the ache
dishes in the sink, not many, a few
just the ache
coffee cup, full but cold, milk’s old
just the ache
unmade bed since Friday last
just the ache
the absence of touch, and of you

when I heard of this
so poles apart colliding
my heart felt under attack
never did I feel such love
experienced by your death
#tanka
it’s been awhile now
you know how it is with loss
death serves no favours
it’s not about how time heals
time stops you just wait it out
mining some ink? spill it

a smooth slide
through this city,
midnight cocktails, winding stale smoke,
density balancing frailty
on solemn, brassy truth
and I hear for a while,
such craving stars pulling notes
from nightscapes unyielding,
kneading anew
their dreams
and cool
midnight swagger

the ritual sacrifice
of heartbreak and love
so many moons
and open wounds
and yet the brooding raven
does ne’er become the dove
I loved with passion furious
swore I’d never leave her side
yet now she’s gone, forever gone
and darkness is my bride
#vss365#passion
Savoring autumn leaves
Hovering as a tease
As their colors change
We reckon with nature’s varicolored exchange
Leaves will fall, no longer twined
A reminder of what we left behind

“Tell me who’s the rat or I blow your fucking brains out!”
“Boss, she’ll kill me.”
“She?!?”
“Ya ya your wife boss.”
“The fuck???”
“Oh hiii honey! (blows a kiss at his direction) it’s just me, your 2week whirlwind romance-wifey. (Pulls out a badge )
“Oh baby…I’m FBI fucker!
Operation Gangster-Dickhead is a success—Cuff him boys!”

Morning light
Peeking above the window sill
Wearing her white chiffon wedding dress
Mascara lines down her cheeks run
Threatening to tear that damn dress
Thinking if she jumps through the sunlight
Will she turn into an everlasting
Monarch butterfly
A morbid reckoning her thoughts #reckon
In the darkness there must be a saviour light
The troth of soulmates
With a kiss we fulfill
A primal hunger
The tingle
The shiver
The thrill
The mark of the bond
Excites the heart
Yet settles in the soul...so still

In my hunger for adventure,
I crossed
the dread frozen plateau, aeons old
On the far side
I found myself in another realm
a place
of madness and unreason
O this hellish season
I am so cold

Let’s embark on a journey
You & I somewhat stormy
Redolent with the scent of grass & sky
Nature hums life & #passion nigh
Love abound in every flower & tree
Entangled in each branch & leafy spree
A symphony of colours & scents so bright
Love affair between earthly souls
…& mythical light
#vss365#vsshorror
In the occult
Déjà vu
Is often felt
A love spell
Symptom
At my feet they melt
But you my love
Something else
With joy my eyes wept
You brought your own chalice
Of red life source wine
To fill my #hunger thirsty goblet
