CITRUS INCANDESCENCE

What persuades the tongue may already be negotiating consequence. Sitting with tangerine tinderbox as warning, not indulgence—where restraint tightens and joy learns how quickly it can ignite.

SANGUINE PATISSERIE
— an anatomy of inheritance disguised as indulgence

Midnight reveals what sweetness hides. Sitting with #redvelvetbloodline as transit, not dessert—where stains are signaturesband inheritance speaks without apology

CHAMPAGNE AFTERMATH

Midnight is not renewal; it is an audit. What glitters fractures. What endures speaks after applause recedes. Sitting with confetti wreckage, listening for the warmth that survives excess.

HUNGER BLUE

Some heat doesn’t roar. It rises slow, sticky, unruly, warming places winter swore were numb. If anything of me lingers, let it be this unfinished appetite—messy, stubborn, refusing to freeze.

Serve it raw. Remember the heat.

RADIANT RUIN — rusted honey, remembered warmth

Rusted honey — sweetness gone honest.
Some loves don’t fade; they ferment into light.

ASHES — when the grave mistakes your breath for an echo

Sometimes it’s not death that terrifies,
but how soil remembers what you tried to forget?

MADNESS — when silence drafts the verdict

Sometimes it’s not the shadows that scare you,
but the mirror that writes your obituary?

INSOMNIA — dreams file their own confessions

Sometimes it’s not the nightmares that haunt you,
but the dream that remembers your sins?

BLACKSTRAP —midnight poured slow enough to keep secrets

Midnight slow-poured. I let the hour lacquer my cuffs until memory sweetens the bruise.

ECHOES OF THE UNSEEN — how silence taught me to speak again

The universe sends lessons in many disguises. Sometimes in poems, sometimes in people, sometimes in a $5 ‘$1 hot dog’ under neon lights.

INCANDESCENCE — when the night forgets to dim

The city shivers in its own light,
#floodlight fever turning silence into glow,
and even the night forgets how to rest.

MASK OF ECHOES —where memory learns to guard itself

Every #talisman is a mirror of survival. Mine is carved from silence, yet it teaches me how to speak. 🧿

OBLIVIONARIA — my own Concrete Lullaby, where sirens thread my veins and fractures learn to sing.
The city rocks me restless, yet even ruin hums itself into survival.

EUSTACEAN — #serotinal echoes linger, where laughter fossilised in amber still carries its warmth.

UNBUCKLED
—not lost, just willingly untethered

I never asked for the map.
Only the keys.
Grief sat shotgun,
desire clung to the trunk,
and memory—
memory flashed its headlights
at every exit I ignored.
