cinnamon crusted

in the long spaces
between loves picked up and cast aside
like jacks on a playground
she savored sweetness
knew her own sugar
was desirable to all but those
who she wanted to give a taste

she felt herself dissolving
against concrete realities
that saw the feet of these loves
walk past her for ivory towers
and alabaster princesses
forgetting she carried brighter pearls
they mistook for costume jewelry others wore

cinnamon crusted
her love sits waiting to be tasted
as suns grow dim

haiku 6.27.12

like the clouds breaking
your smile gave way feeding suns
summer with your lips

haiku 6.26.12

 

gods of war are vain
bullets are gaudy jewels
bloodshed fresh makeup

music break: Ellie Goulding

here's a tune that kinda adds a little bit of excitement
to the summer for me right now...take a listen and
enjoy!

kitten on a hot tin roof

you make clouds
smoke signals that wake me up
because they carry your scent
uttering sunshine in prolonged songs
crafted with desire from places in your belly
starved for so long
they forgot
the speech of want a woman wields
when she is ready
and only after
a quatrain of lust
written with talented digits
that are counting seconds
to the meeting of our eyes
did you think to smile
and perhaps...purr

haiku 6.22.12

just like subway steel
her skin cast off sun as she
walked my way, grinning

changes gonna come...

what's happening folks? it's been a while since i posted,
and the main reason (besides a busier summer schedule
than i anticipated) is, there may be a change or two to
come in the next couple of weeks. i just wanted to give
you a heads up so you won't get caught unawares. stay
tuned and thanks again for reading!
