Love comes in many styles
Deep from the wilds of heart
With desires dark and beholden
To whispers spoken as art
Unbroken flourishes of promise
Become acknowledged by soul
With painted mixtures of emotions
To shape the pictures we hold…

Moments caught in a jar
My private stock of life
Little fireflies of starlight
Glowing memory and insight

#Perhaps we sleep
And share a dream
With no true means
To awaken…
And each soul faces
Inception sown placements
To hone our growth
And expand imaginations
Perhaps…
This is all a dream
That is all too real
To be believe…

Exsanguination

Press #skeletal mouth
against grey; hollow of thighs
I feel the draining—
this marriage of shadows haunt.
Stale pulse, becomes new flesh.

Poppet

Each pin pressing through
leather mojo; soaked
spirits calling—
you feel it miles away
this sympathetic aching
pulling you back to
Succubus hands.

Possession

Who rides you when we
tangle in the small hours?
Whose voice is #respite
in your throat? —
The loa mount us both
grinding spirit into
sweating demonic flesh.

Boneyard

I stole from the dead
what lust no longer needed
graveyard dust, a name.
Mixed it with haint mingled blood
buried stench under your stoop.

you mean just the hashtag?

Undead Timing 🔽

Undead Timing

Lets be candid October:
the spirits arrive beaming split eggs demands-hungry being; abused by slow erosion; hush unspoken.

The equinox shifts hoodoo workers lay tricks blessings equal treats-mantras in moonlight magnities crossroads.

Wicked righteous undead come knock; veil wears thin haints wail; we set tables light candles, pour libations.

October doesn't scare us.
It's when undead power
comes -home to roost.

October Eats First

The #dirt doesn’t ask permission.
It takes what #gloom offers—
makes a #mess of boundaries
—spits up bones; secrets
in equal parts measure. 🔽
