Scribbles 'n Bits

  • Candid

    I love that. I want it in a Tarantino film.

  • She, Herself, and I

    A coarse flight of reds
bedazzled her sly impression - 
the harder they come. 
A reliable mistress
with a harshness worth revitalizing -
a gambit
worth falling for.

  • Collared Green

    Long swings of outrage
to apathy,
cries the pendulum.
Settling low,
windmills blinking as one. 
The man in the high collar
staring down burnt ends
of a smoke trail,
looks up and smiles,
“Well, now.”

  • Curated Gems

    Depth without complexity,
confidence without grandiosity,
humor without nihilism,
yearning without apprehension. 

Naturally lit, 
unfiltered, 
organic, 
palatable perfection -
no less, no more.

  • Clad

    Give me one more
blustery good night.
More
of a past,
dead silence
spoken from dark moon’s hollow bite. 
Down below
where I like it.
Down below,
an ill fate sealed tight.

  • Another Compromise

    Awakening on its journey,
a smell of slight decay.
Leaves sloughing from the canopy. 
A zombie losing the safe promise
of summer fruits.
Scurry and hurry to the beat
of a sacred, albeit fatalistic, 
yearly routine.
Close to where we started,
but no less sweet to see,
the two by two's; the families; 
their long sleeves

  • better, then

    a cherished few return 

    Friend, I’m sorry,
what even happened? 
Tolerable enough
that "hey" would do.
    
like a boomerang

    I cannot stay, 
only come back.
Tell me what you need.
A wax figure 
constant to the flame. 
How do you see fit?
    
picking cherries out of life

    Husks on the ground,
a shell of a man. 
The kernels rotten,
ugly and obscene.

  • Dire Straights

    I don’t need something to live for, I need something to die for.

  • Metrics

    I have lived a good life because I say I have.

  • Aequitus Non Forma

    Universal responsibility 
without universal consequence. 
A convenient argument 
for those who never 
slept without food in their stomach,
lived without love in their past,
and never suffered doubt for their chances
or passion to prevail.
