HI-YELLA

Everybody thinks it’s money  And it spends. Sticky sweet, like honey ‘Til the end. But they can’t speak on What they’ve never lived. Blinded by the binding light, “You should know, you’ve got the gift.” I paint it black, baby. I hold it close.  An act of charity Nobody knows. My Summer Sun Sonata, They […]

Two Tonics

Chalk that up to a lesson learned, another door open and another bridge burned.  Sometimes you have to let them both in;  The deadly venom and the precious medicine. Because we can’t afford to let the opportunity go to waste, And half the time, both tonics taste the same.

The Apostate’s Mistake

The fever dreams were screaming, I tried to tell her. She didn’t want to hear it. Just left me in the cellar. You don’t believe in demons? But don’t you know, The reason for your grieving Was never flesh and bone. But it’s not my vocation, It’s not my purpose, To dip your drying eyes […]
