complacency
I visit that space from time to time
the space that held you near
and captivated your dormant sense of affection
with a complacent smile
and a gentle caress
along the vicissitudes of your fragile being
but now sits
suspended
in absence and darkness
drowned in distance
edged deep inside the heart
like thorns upon a throne
the dull sense of longing
the sudden thrust of deception
...

I cant stand to look at you again
the serpent in your heart strikes at me with rabid dejection
unveiled by the angry stones you cast into the ocean of your madness
I cant be near you
as you empty the well of our affection
and poison the memory of genuine love
every day cant be the fucken 4th of july
and fireworks don’t always fly
sometimes
a warm embrace under the cool darkness of...
NPR 3 min Fiction entry
Daniel’s eyes widened with surprise as I walked in through the doorway of the hospital room.
“Well look who’s decided to visit his little bro..! Come here man, give me a hug..!”
He leaned over from his hospital bed and threw his arms around my body. I was surprised by the strength of his squeeze. His back was wider. His arms seemed massive. He was no longer a boy.
“I thought you weren’t able to...

fragile hands of a lover
You
illustrious and complete
with your heart of stone
and your soul of glass
pivoting effortlessly
between the empty corridors
and abandoned walkways
of your intended dreams and projected desires
and seek to find
the narrow door of reason
where an empty room
may be filled with the collected residue
of tainted fear and lost conviction
a lamb to the slaughter
a tear to the rain
you...

Entre el oscuro silencio de la distancia Y el profundo mar del olvido Me encuentro sofocado entre nubes de tu ausencia.
Sin discutir tu elegido camino y aceptar el peso de mis cadenas Giro mi mirada hacia lo desconocido en el sur Tus ojos escondidos entre largo trazos de distancias y enormes paredes de disgusto y silencios mal entendidos Y sin esperanza ni razón siento tu presencia en mi...

Excerpt: My Utopia
I stepped out into the bleak existence of the city with a caste iron stare and a beaming glow of hopelessness that arose from the flood of toxins and chemicals spread upon my brain. The heat tapping at the forehead like a viscous greeting from a friendly executioner. The steam, flowing upward slowly form the satanic bowels of the new york underworld, spitting at the eyes like venomous serpents...
A brief moment of thought
As I look up into the sky and fix my eyes upon two luminous beams of light shooting out into the cosmos behind a background of blackness, I can’t help but to be conflicted by the paradoxes of our existence and the dynamic extremes of our species. How are we able to house so many contradictions upon one body, within one soul, as a race, as a creature of thought and emotions. How is it...

In Essence
In essence
in completion
in complete presence
I seek
in this hollow pit of life
to find
the living within the dead
the essential witin the mundane
the magnificence witin the horrow
the beautiful within the lost
For A Time
It is true
that you are right
that I am hollow
and you are stone
That I am living
and you are slumber
that I am lost
and you are present
you
you retain a secret
and i revive a lie
but there is truth
in the word “alive”
that we are flesh
and our eyes are liquid
and sorrow
and we are
if anything else
together
for a time
Ground Zero
Twisted steel adornes the shattered rock
amongst an empty pool of worn loss and tainted desire
where sadness leeks from within cracks in stone
like tears from a basin
of a million weeping hearts
where madness seeps out of hatred
here it collects
like a shrine
an idol
to our capacity for horror
a farewell to souls
that lay within the bitter ashes
of lost dreams and silenced voices
of...
Re-Encounter
It was good to have this time
again
and see you
suddenly
in an unexpected bliss
The conversation
a nice gesture from your eyes
a familiar smile
a fragment of my life
here in the present
a semblance of the past
returning if only
for a moment
to an often forgotten shelter
a piece of home
that never was
that will never be
let me thank you
for giving me this time
this fragment of...
I Wish to Leave
I wish to leave
because I wish to find
that Dream
that day
that does not exist
I desire
to find
in your dream
a dream in you
that does not exist
like a color in complete darkness
i know it is
there
but my eyes don’t percieve
what I wish to find
you stand by the dresser
in imperfect beauty
lingering in light
like a delicate song of glory
pale and lucid
complete and...
I Remain Awake
I remain awake in the hands of a lover
where my lifeless body in your arms could lie
and my dreams find
the somber refuge of forgotten verses
in forgotten time
In my palms I hold your taste
like a sweat swelling reason
fusing madness into memory
giving new breath to lost verses
and beloved lies
I awake in a shadow
massive and abrupt
to sleep through the midst of living
and depart from...
Those who weild the power of the sun have the strength to incinerate the earth.

Move me
like you do
like you did
the day you appeared
and illuminated my life
like a golden sun
beyond the horizon
eclipsing my soul
like a melody in a dream
a dream in a song
moving
towards me
like you do
slow and measured
like a serpent in a shadow
I lose my self in you
I lose myself in us
and find
within empty corners
of long forgotten desires
there still remains
my soul in...
Indefinite goodbye
as a pillar of defience,
my eyes turn from you
within improbable distances
and inmeasurable time
my soul
seeps away in liquid
through the crevices of longing
a lingering echo
a last word shrouded in heaviness and loss
and I reach down within my abolished abyss of reason
and seek to find
some semblance of heart
within the walls of the indefinite goodbye
