    • bi-trillets attempt. this one wasn’t easy for me…never do well when rhymin is involved.

      endless night confession

      breathe in the black smoke, love feels like a joke
      the nights we wasted tasted strange
      cheap liquor kiss, dirty exchange

      you were my worst itch, struck like a kill switch
      old barroom lungs in borrowed light
      we swore we’…Read More

    • Secret Ride (magic of Poetic Voice)

      He came at night,
      On a wind of heat.
      A bead of sweat,
      On lips so sweet.
      “Come with me”

      Not even one.
