N

Naturally, neighbors of nobles

Nail notifications of norms

Negating nations.

Note the notations of nothing

Numbing the nihilistic notions

Nearing narcissistic niches,

Names nag the neural navigation

And naysayers nuke

The noises of nuance.

M

Motionless, marooned in the moonlit meridian,

Masterfully mystified in a menagerie,

Marsupials moan with maladaptive mischief.

Misanthropes misguide the masses

Messaging a multitude of minutia

Mistaken for more memorable mentalities. 

Maple majesties mold molasses mishaps

Manufacturing methamphetamine marbles

Marring the mirrored manifestations.

Manipulations of matter misdirect

Microphones to magnify the maddening

Mangled murmurs of monotony.

Mortified moments of murky matricide

Misrepresent the myriad of multitudes

Making minor mistakes major misdemeanors.

Delicate Corrosion

Beauty carved in face of marble

Traces elegant ivory curves

Scent of a bed of honey

Spun silk through my nerves.

Fires in her milky eyes

Fueled by malintent

Hours spent in suffocation

From the seconds spent.

Nails that dig into my back

And linger for days gone past

Bites that mark her gentle grasp

And fade when they should last.

Her taste that fills my open mouth

And trickles down my chin

The hunger that ceases not

That rises from within.

The hands that hold

My simple heart

Her lips that whisper still

The words which tear us apart

And yet give me my fill.

Promise Late, Yet Kept

I’ve said best friend too oft

A phrase given of drifters,

Bright lights that quickly faded.

Cast aside, yet ne’er forgotten

She waited by my side,

Always there to put me first.

She helped me see my foolishness,

My stubborn drunken pride,

Born of sleeplessness, not wine.

She stands here still

While others care to part

Shifting seasons, remorse and farewell.

A monument to friendship

Dedication divine,

Yet comfortable and sweet.

Now she brings a child forth,

A light within her womb

A candle to the darkened sky.

A touch of poverty and sorrow

Rest upon your head

Yet nary a tear spoils your heart.

Kindness weaved like crocheted love,

Threads of silken charity

Intermingled with latent shine.

Clothe the world with thy wisdom,

As you once clothed my neck

With the warmth of a scarf.

J

Justify the jagged jars of juicy jams

Jostled, jolted from the jungle

January’s joke, a jeering jest

Jogging to the jaded Jersey jams.

Jazz of July, June and

Juniper javelins jutting out

Jailing the java’s justice

Judging the jury and jester.

Jotting joyful jargon in journals,

Juvenile jabbering in juxtaposition with

Jubilant juggling of jeweled junction.

I

Ivy intertwines intricately

Ignoring icy interruptions and

Invades ignorance and isolation.

Inching its interface into infrastructure

Interrupts infringement

Insuring involvement and interrogations. 

Itching its infamous intelligence with

Insatiable intestines of intrigue 

Indigestion of insolence is imagined. 

Imploding impossibilities irresponsibly illustrated by

Ink immeasurable in inferences

Infatuated with impregnation of ideas.

Islands immersed in individuality

Ignited by ineptitude 

Innocence Inflicted with ignominy.

Foreign

Her words were foreign

Drenched in eloquence befitting a queen.

Her lips, soft as silk

Moved provocatively in rhythm,

Pale red flowers opening,

Covered in dew.

Her hands were treasonous,

Treachery deep as canyon passes,

Leading me to sin

As an accomplice to her shame.

Her eyes, darkened earth

Penetrate my hardened heart

And fertile shoots entangle such.

Her hair, my hangman’s noose

A hammock for all my thoughts

A final rest.
