Annihilation

Standard

Annihilation

Of

Ghosts.

A confrontation

Imploring.

Awaiting to come forth

Into realization.

Not a fight to the death.

Not a fight to win.

First met with hesitation

And predetermined defeat.

Ultimately cradling one another.

A taste of tenderness desired all the while.

Myself

Consoling haunting apparitions

I alone created.

Finding there was only love completely,

For they were always mine.

Me.

A Poet’s Seduction

Standard

Seduce.

You lure and entice.

A poet’s seduction.

A maker of sighs and smiles.

Words of reality woven

Into the ink of fantasy

Until you cannot tell

Which one you have become.

Which one you yearn for.

Words caressing your heart and mind.

Finding their way into depths

Even you yourself cannot find.

Tempting and tantalizing

Between passion and longing.

Loneliness and belonging.

Lust and hate

Love and distaste.

You’ve left yourself

Bargaining for

More than a phrase.

A Message

Standard

I

Sat in the jungle

And disolved into the stillness.

Jaguar approached me

And pierced my skin.

As blood fell to the jungle floor

She said,

“This is the blood of everyone.

The anguish of your mothers

And fathers

Has already been shed.

You are anew.

You choose to carry pain from the past

Because you believe

You are supposed to.

Release it.

It is not yours to carry.

Your ancestors

And all of the universe

Wish for you to

Let it go.”
