Food Coma
Munchies
Crunchies
So much food
eating your emotions
is just
no good.
Food baby carried
just don’t touch
gotta lie down
I ate too much.

Watch the Hooves
How
can something
so beautiful
be so terrifying?
I don’t understand
this fear I feel
and yet
their beauty
still shines through.
Gentle creatures
my ass.

The Invitation
A quiet rustle
a whisper beacons
“come and play”
it says to me.
Instinct warns
“do not go in”
but the Faery dance
will soon begin.
In I delve
to dance and play
and while away
another day.

The Unexpected
Everyday
you see the trains
as loud rumbles
shake the earth
and screaming breaks
scratch at the brain.
And yet do you ever
really look?
Open your eyes
and see
unexpected artistry
and humor
that waits for thee.

Confession
I miss it
the sweet and fuzzy
smiley warmth
the tingle of lips
and purring voice
I miss the lazy
languid buzz
Capt’n Crunch munchies
and a relaxing
little doze.
Once upon a time, I loved the green. The thing is, though? It’s not good for me. It counter acts my anti-depressants, creating a dangerous situation as it’s my anti-depressants that keep the suicidal urges at bay. The hangover… the aftermath effects… it’s not worth it. But, I still miss it. Just sayin’.

The Nuzzle
Just one breath
an inhale made
and suddenly
you
are within me
your scent
your strength
your touch
drawn in deep
a calming balm
on the soul.
