Never Had a Chance

I left a dove on your doorstep
and hoped it was enough
that you would caress it
every feather of ivory
not left untouched.
I left a dove by a slaughter house.

Golden Scarabs

orbs of tears

fall from the sun

butterflies pulsate
as she dips her rays

as all the leaves point
as all the birds gasp

you want them to leave
this private affair


held on the street.

O' Biology

dictate through the cell
air breaks down
degrade each pathway
each eye catalyzes reactions
mutants differed from the mold
pathways produce all essential ingredients
minor revisions of hair began
constructed by its own

What is a Rose?

Must I compare you to just one flower?
You have so many to choose from.

Across

Stars explode in my eyes


They stream across my face



rolling down
like tears

and then

evaporate
I see these stars
These stars that dance for me

Dance for you.

This is the Last Time

Bloody sparks ignite
Ravens in the forest
Vinegar and venom cinge their tongues
Mountains of Fire burn their talons
Rivers of Ice freeze their wings

Eyes brimmed with blood and flesh
ripped from victims before
Black from the rotting corpses that lie in their bodies.

Too much for one.
He cannot hold his shield any longer
The flames consume him
In the tattered crimson clouds
Sorry, little Brother.
