Hypnotic Voids & 28 Embers

Hypnotic Voids

The voids were so hypnotic

But I chose to fill them

Started off on square 1

Then I was staggered

By the daggers of their whim

I was so innocuous

So provocative

Yet the problem lied

In the weight of my words

Yet the pain was true

& lied deep in every form of consciousness.

(Summer of 2020)

28 Embers

Corrupted Quivers

Its warmth was a worthy contender

But it lost..

Douse the flames at all cost

Now we're left with the scent

Of immodest cinders.

Why remain so tender

When it Is you(I)--(I)you, continue to remember.
