Woodnotes

Last night I fell asleep before you came home. I dragged the dog out for a walk but he hates the cold as much as I do. He pissed all over the kitchen floor, he despises being alone. He ate snacks before bedtime wallowing in loneliness. You wanted to have sex while I had creative writing on my mind. My blue journal sprawled between my … Continue reading Woodnotes

Drowning in Carnations

You said write a poem about New York moments we almost had in our arms. I ignore you only focus on the times we had; the walk hand in hand on Ste-Catherine street the xmas gifts I gave you in April— you forget everything I remember, that is how memory prevails I could never be true to you. I apologize for the past, present, and … Continue reading Drowning in Carnations

It Evaporates

You never lose a word from under the sheets it can evaporate into desire within lightbulbs of dark fiction. You tend to write about them, blue octagons of your nightmares, the lined frames of wisdom you neglected to admonish. All these poets, they love to see you crawl through utopian skies. They love to see you die a poetic death, make sure theirs becomes immortal … Continue reading It Evaporates

Sanity Chased Away

Rain clouds have stories you’ve been waiting to hear melodies you’ve only heard in your dreams for without chances and change we can be a living corpse. Even the truth can’t change your feelings. Sometimes you have to go under for a fresh breath of air. It’s not me, it’s you. All these years, I believed in the wrong expressions. That’s why I … Continue reading Sanity Chased Away

Ode to Bukowski

People think it is easy to sit all day and write, but what do they know of working and not making any money? They would think it absurd, an absurd comedy out of a play. Waiting for a book deal. Waiting for a reply to a magazine. Waiting for rejection letters. Waiting for no one. Years of this. No partner would accept this kind of … Continue reading Ode to Bukowski

Infliction

At the time, I was nervous for living, when no one else wanted to talk with my mind. You have no free time to sacrifice, nor do I. All our time is filled up with taking others for granted. Yet we talk on the phone every couple of years, and become friends over preferred lovers. When we were lovers, we loved each … Continue reading Infliction

Ariel Poets

The exciting part about social media is networking and meeting like-minded people, especially if you are a writer or poet. A writer is a poet. I first met Alexandra Meehan on Twitter. We have never met in real life, but our souls have probably met before. We became friends and we have come to appreciate each other’s poetic styles. I approached her a few weeks … Continue reading Ariel Poets
