I find absolution in the way her hair drapes across my face right before our lips touch. I get saved between every breath we share. Our doors are open, windows too, the grace is the puddle beneath us. She is all I ever wished to believe in.

Brightly colored
Wet-skinned dreams
All chirp and thrum
Throughout the night
They hide amongst
The creeping moss of me
That drinks
And breathes
The oxygen you sweat
In the jungle paludarium
Where i keep you
In my mind
It needs to be hot
So hot you melt
Evaporate
And drip into
my open mouth

Sentimental ocean
Building, cresting, falling waves
Infinite blue shades

A free verse poem written in response to #FromOneLine 413 #prompt | I remember blueberries. Black text on white background:

I remember blueberries -
their acidic tartness on my tongue, you know 
the kind that crinkles up the corners
of your eyes and scrunches
your nose. That swift, sharp edge; it even 
tastes of indigo and holds hints of madness if you
eat overmuch on an empty stomach. 

We were too poor to eat many of these 
except when in season as the hot sun baked 
our backs and cooked our tempers out there
on the barrens. How our greedy young fingers 
snapped and snatched the berries like there was 
no tomorrow. And we were taught there wasn’t one, so
why not go for the sweetest of hurts, this blue.

I remember blueberries – and then, catching myself 
once more, I recall all those who sneered and dismissed 
our hand-me-downs, sniffed as if our poverty were contagious -  
oh, everyone struggles; walk it off; pull on your bootstraps; 
and look! aren’t there strawberries also to pick, let’s go. Not for us,
and we silently piled into the rusty Gran Torino station wagon to 
head back home, any joy gathered that day lost in the dust.

your echo holds me,
a voice of resonance hums-
perplexed, i still stand.
against the pull, i answer;
i rise-whole again, unbent.

tear theoretic towers to threads from their turrets
vitiligo
and then if you still have a fuelful tank to go
melasma from miasma
perhaps the tiny things in us sometimes do a takeover
exactly about around a smogged stare
avanti, garden is the target route
as propellers still mince meaty air

Perfection is subjective
and perfection is personal
My perfect is only mine
When all points connect
like steel melting flawlessly into liquid
and becoming one seamless Us,
That's perfection

J. C. 03.16.25

With a bit of inspiration, I'm able to write a thing today. #Perfection. #poetry

Hands remember
what the head's long forgot.
Your body, a piano.
I'm blind but for the
singing,
the echo-location
guides fingers from note to note.
Every nerve of yours a rock,
a step above the shallow stream.
We can dance like this
until the band gets bored,
and we can dance a while after.

4 panel comic
Panel 1: a being labeled "Life" is standing behind a man who is sitting at his laptop with a coffee. Life is holding a ball of darkness and saying, "Sometimes I like to drop random darkness and pain on people."
Panel 2: Life drops the darkness ball on the man's laptop, spilling the coffee and says, "just to mess with them."
Panel 3: The man is poking the ball of darkness while Life stands behind him and smiles.
Panel 4: The man is forming the dark ball into a castle. Life is angry and yells, "HEY! STOP MAKING ART OUT OF THAT!"

SHOW me your magic tricks

A whisper of things beautifully vile
No promise of the undeliverable
Drown in my needs

TELL me with your mouth full

How did we get stuck
In this never-ending loop?
A society that's been fatally sick 
For as long as it's existed

To ease the symptoms 
Of our perpetual misery
We're sold snake-oil cures
And blamed when we need more
Blamed for not knowing
How to heal ourselves 

We worship dead gods
Idolize our masters
Strive for excellence that.. isn't - not really
Push our bodies to their limits
Bury ourselves in material things
Drown ourselves in poison
Or my current drug of choice 
Find a virtual roller coaster to ride

Sometimes we switch it up
A new focus, 
Yet the process is familiar
And it never ends
And we'll never be well
And we'll never truly be happy
And the saddest truth of all
We'll never really connect
With one another

You'll know when you feel it
We aren't all the same 
If fortune smiles, and
You call out my name

With luck, someday
You may understand 
If given the chance
To hold a goddess
In your hands
