These are poetry drafts. I consider all my poetry in a constant state of drafting, some with revision ongoing, others merely gathering dust. Some have been published but will still be considered drafts.

N.B. When these posts were imported I noticed some of my reblogs also got pulled in. It should be ovious from the contents that they are reblogs from other writers. I am in the process of removing those posts.

A Paper Trail

There was a paper trail,
apparently from the night before.

Words spoken with a pen,
apparently expressing their desire.

Illegible font on scrunched up notepads,
apparently frustration unovercome.

There was a paper trail,
apparently ending a night of –

thought.

I bet He hasn’t noticed I changed His face

No, I noticed the change… twice… and you had a face once but Tumblr removed it, off the chart on the ugly scale probably… I bet you were the one sending the unsolicited messages as well?

Tonight I Will Read Your Poems Aloud

Tonight I will read your poems aloud
Under the cover of loud music playing,
The tube of you will provide my cover,
Obscure my voice from the ears that hear,
A mere precaution to keep my sanity -
I call forth the daemons of Delain and Epica
To join with my Arch Enemy and toast with
My Nightwish,
In This Moment

Tonight I Will Read Your Poems Aloud

Tonight I will read your poems aloud
Under the cover of loud music playing,
The tube of you will provide my cover,
Obscure my voice from the ears that hear,
A mere precaution to keep my sanity -
I call forth the daemons of Delain and Epica
To join with my Arch Enemy and toast with
My Nightwish,
In This Moment

And The Poet Switched

And the poet switched from
writing lies in a language borrowed
to writing truths in
Emoji // and the world gasped
as the foundation of truth

Unraveled

I’m getting more pins on Pinterest than hugs on Tumblr these days. and they are all for old stuff, back when I did the visual poetry (images….)

Maybe I should revive the old automotive engine, the converter of words, to spread my virgin words to those not actively worshiping-!0n Tumblr
