the poetry of decadence and decay

An Indecent Proposal

beyond
the frailties and fragilities
of
burnt hearts and broken beings

there lies a world

shades of black
shades of blue
where life isn't about surviving in the monotones
where grey is real in life and in literature


wait for me; i will meet you there

Not a Love Story

where
the distorted definitions
and
the miscarried marriages
ran dry off blood

his scars met hers


love crawled up the bare blanks

Quondam

the ruins

of 

a reign

from

a bleak yesterday

the fallen stood to the fall 

faceoffs paid in crawling nostalgia 

Strangely Acquainted

i'd rather sleep with a stranger than wake up to an acquaintance


the strangeness and the oddities of unaware existences
is often too comfortable
it's the intimacy of acquainted presences
that choke you breathless


familiarity is the father of disdain
irregulars mother singular

Aphrodite

and
the tainted skies
cut her out
from between the ribs
of
the harrowed clouds

and
there she was
black against burnt violets
somewhat surreally sculpted

An Unlikely Homecoming

the untamed fragrance of the wildlings had invaded the streets
one last time
bridges crumbled and walls burnt at the distance of radio sets and telephones
one more time

it was the season of the demon's fall
she had arrived



happiness sprinkled across the skin in goosebumps..
