Papa Duende’s Other Room

I ruined another butter-knife On the irradiated marshmallow spread I’m redirecting across this bread, With all the precision You could expect From your Papa. I must throw it out. Now I’m in a bad mood. And to top it off, The coffee pot is teeming with mold… But I never use it. Thank God. I’ll […]

CLEARWATER POND FORTRESS

Acres of misty forest Are suddenly disrupted By mossy speckles of stone That grow closer together and more numerous, The deeper we travel into the dense woodlands… Miles of rocky marsh are crossed over and the trees dwindle away before daylight reveals a paved path leading right up the the lookout tower of ClearWater Pond […]

Mostly Human

Out from the shallows, Into the river… The fear of dilution, I still remember… You can’t be serious, When you say forever… You swallowed me whole, So the 🌍 could be better… Out from your pan, and Into the fire… Canopy daydreams, I bore in the briars… My stamina, energy, my love Is unending… I […]

REVELATIONS OF THE SIMIAN DEITY

APPROACHING THESE FOUNDATIONS, I SHOOK WITH FEAR BUT WAS UNABLE TO SWAY MYSELF FROM ITS LURE. FROM ITS MOUTH CAME LIES AND ACCUSATIONS. BLASPHEMIES AND VILE CURSES… WHEN […]

Pretty Boy

What you think Really matters. We can be anything we’re deciding to be. If we change our clothes, We can change your mind.  What you think really matters.  Life is a charade, and we were born In the city of a non-stop Masquerade… Charm your mind.  What you think really matters. In the city of non-stop… The […]

Princess Friday

Princess Friday has a toasty complexion, That she accents with rings of rose gold, set with select bits of Dragon Opal. Smoke rises from the warm void in the rift between her lips. A pearlescent dye coats her little toes and deciding fingertips. Dynamic jackal, her manic laughter is that of a long-thought wanderess. Prone […]
