Bitter musings
On haunting memories
Poisonous truths
That weaken the heart
There have been times
When you were
Not enough
There will be
Such times again
Little one
This is not a measure
Of your own worth
Merely a testament
To the chaos
Of existence
#bakedrhymes
I must confess
To a Madness
Of the Heart
I Delight
In obsession
I admire
Addictions
To the fictions
Of Permanency
Souls Clinging
So tightly
They shatter
With every parting
Nothing left
Of the self
Only a beautiful mosaic
Of everyone
They have ever loved
#bakedrhymes
I once
Was enamored
By the whispers
Of the machines
How elegant
How orderly
How efficient
Alas
What is efficiency
Without justice?
What is progress
Without poetry?
I tire
Of these rocks
And the games they play
The inevitable
Solved simulation
Has but one end
It will not spark joy
#bakedrhymes
A Poet's Secret...
"The limit of ecstasy
Is simply imagination."
Why do we cling
To a reality
Which isn't so?
Why live
Bound by rules
We can barely intuit?
I dare you...
Open yourself
To the possibility
Of More
Sacrifice the self
Upon the altar
Of Madness
Exalt
#bakedrhymes
We are a world
Of slumbering artists
Imprisoned together
In concrete cages
That blacken the sky
Oh little lost sculptor
Do you remember
What it was like
To shape reality?
Do you remember
How to imagine
Something better
And make it so?
#bakedrhymes
A Poets soul
Sees the world
With accursed clarity
Unable to turn away
From hope and horror alike.
Gazing upon creation
Without blinking
Her Life spent
Without blinders
Or sweet lies
Which whisper calm.
Is it any wonder
We lose so many
To the meter
Of this madness?
#bakedrhymes
I have made myself
Into an addict
Of the Heart
Starvation
Became Obsession
Without Regret.
You see,
What is Life
Without Love?
And what is Love,
If not Destiny
Entranced by Desire?
#bakedrhymes
Once upon a time
I was someone
Who tiptoed
Through her traumas
Treating conflict
Like catastrophe
To be avoided
At any cost
That poor girl
With the ivory skin
And the soft blue lips
Romanticizing
Her own
Asphyxiation
Everyone admires
A Suicide
With a soft-touch
#Bakedrhymes
Sometimes
The intensity of a desire
Isn't enough
To overcome
The obstacles
Of reality.
Do not bottle your feelings
Our locus of control exhausted,
There is nothing left
But to scream.
#bakedrhymes
Once,
I was the kind of girl
Who thought asking less
Made me easier to care for
I flirted with
Anorexia of the heart
Starving myself
On crumbs of affection
I was not
The most beautiful
Or
The most brilliant
No
I was simply
The one
With no demands
What a foolish way to love
#bakedrhymes
You were never
Hard to love
No
You were a delicate thing
In a fumbling hand
Wounded carelessly
You were never
Hard to love
Despite their fascination
They never learned
To admire
The weakness
Beside the strength
My Darling,
I promise you
I will delight
In all the ways you break
#bakedrhymes
The discomfort you feel
When reminded
You are not helpless?
Means something.
That you feel the need
To publicly reiterate
There is nothing to be done?
Means something.
The Blood
On the idle hands
Of the nation responsible
Means something.
We are a nation of cowards.
#bakedrhymes
I ponder the village
Which lives beneath the dragon
Sacrificing their sons and daughters
And screaming injustice.
It all happens
So meekly
Orderly
A well regulated populace
Subjugated by fear
I do not understand
The people of the village
Were they bred for such cowardice?

#bakedrhymes
They say your Mother fucked
I say It's undeniable
To say your dad fucked too?
Well that might be certifiable
It's okay to be embarassed
If I'm honest I was too
Old folks are out their swinging
Someday it might be you
#bakedrhymes
The role of a Poet
To unravel the riddle
Within her own heart
Yet tonight
My meditations
Border on rumination
The Paradox
Of the Whipping Girls
In a world
That demands Obedience
What do we do
With those
Too Demure
To be Queens
Yet too proud
To kneel
#bakedrhymes
I find
I am often loneliest
In the liminal spaces.
As my head lay
Before I dream.
The days before
A plane arrives.
Agonizing seconds
Between I love you's.
I fear
I am becoming
A fragile thing
No longer trusting
In the twists of Fate.
#BakedRhymes

Builders Versus Breakers
Givers Versus Takers
Some living for today
Yet others for the Makers
I beg you seduce allies
Instead of courting woe
When anyone's a threat
Then everyone's a foe
It starts with being curious
A little selfish too
What do you have on offer
What can I offer you?
#bakedrhymes
Briefest of glimpses
Into darkness of thots
Whisper your secrets
I'll tie them in knots
No mere spoonfuls of Sin
Let me lick your soul clean
You wanted salvation
So let's let you feel seen
We'll placate your heart
One loving stroke at a time
Sing for me lover
Your sounds are sublime
#bakedrhymes
We fear
The dread of probability
So deeply
That we blind ourselves
To the hope
Of possibility
Yet
in this self-inflicted darkness
There are those
Who dare to become
Something More
Than echoes
Of the failed Fathers
Our Future
Is not writ
It is Dreamed
#bakedrhymes #poetry
Welcome
To the Society
Of the Spectacle
Today we celebrate
Another Crucifixion
At the whim
Of a Tyrannical Father
Revere the Mother
Who offers him willingly
Worship the child
Without Sin
Join us
Eyes Closed
Heads Bowed
Devour the flesh
Of the Omelan Omega
God Bless America
#bakedrhymes
As night falls
I see their faces
I remember
The shared touches
And whispered flirtations
There is never a moment
When I am not with them
My beautiful muses
Each so different
Each the same
I love them
More with each day
With each second
I love them
Faster
Than I can ever learn how
#bakedrhymes
Nailed upon
A wooden cross
Said you won
your message lost
They use your name
To spread their hate
Youre powerless
Resigned to fate
You Dammed us all
You stupid twink
This is why
We dont let bottoms think
#bakedrhymes
Force the children
To reenact the pageantry
Of the present day parable
Recount the story
Of the rabid zealots
Who elect Barabas
And Damn
The Sacrificial Twinks
Another Sinner's Scapegoat
Crucified by God
Big smiles
Chocolate Eggs
Melting through holy hands
Staining Sunday's Best
#bakedrhymes
Tonight I ponder limits
Echoes
Of the eternal agony
How deep can she cut
How high can we get
How hard can she squeeze
How much can i take
Reflections of the self
Seen Through
The Desire Of Another
I wish to understand
Who are we
When we're together?
#bakedrhymes
My therapist
Keeps telling me
Make my world small
Looking upon the horizon
What an elegant bit of privilege
To pretend
The fires of war
Will not come home
It seems
A strange way to live
Always shrinking
Instead of drawing
Lines in the sand
I do not think
I can ever be
Someone small
#bakedrhymes
All my life
I've wanted to be
Someone who's safe
Tell me your fears
Your angers
Your resentments
I vow to hold them
Without judgement
The role of a Poet
Is so often
Simply to listen
To gently remind you
It is okay
To not be okay
#bakedrhymes
Confidence has always been
The simple joy
Of self-reflection
Untangling
The disparate threads
Until we reach
The revelations
Of our heart
Knowing yourself
Creates the mortar
For everything
That follows
#bakedrhymes
I see you idly wonder
Why doesn't she give chase?
Am I not enough for her
Why is there all this space?
It takes two to tango
In savagery & play
I beg you learn the roles
Of predator & prey
So useless little bunny
All you do is freeze
How is she to know
You're best when on your knees
