A stale tasting box
The smell of sawdust
Is it so sweet
To be loved?
I wonder what makes
A performance so delicious
To decide to take a waltz
The sugar in its sounds
How profound it is to
Look
And by another’s account
Be found
A ballerinas ball
How beautiful, the song
Just as beautiful
Inclosed in space
But only real
If it is saw
The ballerinas dance
The ballerina bawls...
Blood is a blanket
Covet the cover
Of muscle, bones
Sins and mistakes
A duvet of shame
To spill, to blame
One in the same
Under the scarlet gaze
Raise in morning
Razor in mourning
Rain of veins
Fear when pouring
Here’s the pact:
The caviat
The karat golden
Honored lariat
Red means love
Red means life
Red means stop
In sign or light
Red is beating
Fist or heart
So red means st...
If it’s just one time
One cat
In a cardboard box
In a dark alleyway
It can scare humans
It can scare creatures
Innate, concentrate
In concrete desolate
But, Heaven sent chance
An invite to dance
To watch a cat prance,
Nuzzle, for its happy
Watch it close its eyes and blink
For it is safe
It is happy
But for every cat in an alley
In a box
In pain
There are a million who watch
Wat...
The weight of silence
Is invisible as gravity
For the ring in our ears
Is a quiet calamity
An unforeseen tragedy
When the apple drops
We seldom hear
In a simple mechanism
An echo of our fears
The cry of a tear
The strength in a cheer
A melody, haunting me
Haunting you
Haunting us
Is the ringing that occurs
With the melody stops...
Micheal lives in a cabin at a place I won’t disclose , surrounded by creatures who cannot blush or tell him lovely empties
He spends his day cutting wood into logs
Therapy
And plays poker at the whiskey manufacturer near his abode
A maybe less productive therapy
Nevertheless, Micheal loves his quaint little life, and has found immense, straightforward pleasure in the nature around him

I am praying for fire
Praying for fire
To burn branches of wilt
That suffocate my sight
Bury my own will
I’m praying for fire
To renew me once more
Gather shattered glass at my feet
Propel me off the floor
Open a new door
In not purpose, nor direction
Not ability, or perspective
But of flames to smother out
The unneeded conventions
The pretentious message
Of the human’s inventio...
Imagine gold that
Flowed like
Velvet
Melted-down, satin
Smooth-drip
Tune
Strung sing-song
Tethered along
Fabric of a resonant
Heaven sent
Envelope with
Writing that
Is tattered for
The paper bent.
What do we wish for?
A diamond-plated door
Porcelain in accessory
Marble on the floor?
Does it matter when
The path we walk
Carved itself
In how grass grows?
Does the richness of our l...
He barely spoke English
But he said the sky would fall today
Honeysickle dissmial
Sugar bullet pistol
Crystal candy missile
Grab our tissues
Ask if death would mean they’d miss you
Relish on the parlay
A total flush of face
With 5 joker wildcards
Played as an ace
When the things we create
Become scars on the face
Tell me if brimstone and ash
If fire is our fate...
On the flip side
I feel it being where it needs to be
It being heart,
Placement on the soul
When it aligns like stars do
Around the planet when it rolls
It being purpose
It being passion
It being clothes you wear
Not the style
But how they’ve fashioned
A studded belt looks good
It still shines fastened on the neck
But what we give value
Can choke us
withhold what’s next
So if I burn...
Hedonism
Pessimistic enjoyment of
Beautiful things to toy with
Warped ideals, bountiful appeals
To a great cause somewhere beyond
Somewhere entirely close
Rooted at the center
Gravity never bends to weather
Whether the weight is a feather
Better is on a jagged path
Worse is a flowered prance
One promising wilt
With a lack of water, change
One returning to dust
to promise it won’t stay th...
