Cuts quick emotion,
a trip of a lie
pressed to lips
collide ardent and lithe,
seeps into kisses,
and young dream
strange tuning low whispering.
Goodbye alien,
so it seems
softly potent, serene,
vacant and shy
everywhere under skin and hair,
young could fly
like a radio goodbye.
Seep into the ground,
the earth,
and I am young alien strange,
tuning like a whispering dream,
like a radio alien
strange, whispering serene,
so alien.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
