She a mystery
Slipping me delicate confabulations
I needed 2 hear
Subtle mind control
Pulling me this way
And that

skin a slippery scaffold
Holding my thin wiry
pre-Woven fate
With soft,
yet unyielding
Hands.

“…I think I love you?”

#SlamWords #50thEdition - round 2

Welcome the sweet release
Of the empty chamber
Of an ancient soul
Rising

#SlamWords #50thEdition #encore - round 8

a scale
woven fate
this temple of mortality

#SlamWords #50thEdition

A hair touched
A seam ripped
penance paid in blood
For innocence stripped

#SlamWords #50thEdition - round 9

A promise made is broken
a penance paid in blood
before ‘I love you’s spoken
be true or sharply judged

#SlamWords #50thEdition r9

Tonight, I wait for you to
Hold me against the wall
Cold to my naked skin
Kiss me till I melt

Silver lighting of hope
And I stumble & fall in
The sea of sinful desires
Drowning in divine departure

#inked_soull

#SlamWords #50thEdition #encore r4

i stand upon the edge
tomorrow lies
on the other side

unseen, unknown
what highs & lows
it holds

but in today
i cannot stay
come what may

so gain or loss
the dice must be tossed
& i must step across

#SlamWords #50thEdition #encore rd9

Darkness takes
Just one night
And has the patience to wait for more

#SlamWords #50thEdition #encore - round 10 (final)

kissing metal and Becoming a fleshly cyclone
Vaulting under heights unknown and sticking the landing
Batons hurdles gun smoke
amazed….No.
All I see is a
Temple of mortality

I'm always 2 coins short
Of buying happiness
Mingled with your breaths

I'm always empty handed
When it comes to the moments
You were ever mine

Guess what arrived today!!! This book is OWLsome! So proud of this crew! #50thedition #amazingcrew

It was close,
Wheels splitting and seeping into concrete
Steering wheel forcing me to closer 2 corners than I have ever gotten
Gone on Straight aways
But every corner I find him closer
Who would have thought a squirrel would tip the scales

#SlamWords #50thEdition - round 1

After living on the run for over 50 years, investigators finally got some insight into what happened to these escaped criminals.

there are pieces of me
scattered across time

bits of broken dreams
& drops of joy left behind

i am less than i could be
but if you could just be mine

that less would be enough
even for just one night

#SlamWords #50thEdition #encore 10

#SlamWords #50thEdition - round 6

I’ll be a rock
Give me a hard place
I’m holy water
Toss me on any fire
Anyplace
Built upon a pyre
Gonna burn the devil
drink your deep blue sea
I’ll be me

I'm sorry, but...
I don't have much time
To wait till you
Draw out my soul

Any moment I could
Slip into a forever slumber

I'm not afraid
Of dying like I'm
I'm just afraid
Of breaking
The ties we had
Bound in red thread

#SlamWords #50thEdition - round 7

Just dish out the afterlife
I’m here hungry for a refill
I’m waiting here in the moss of the forest
Amongst the shadows where every tree is named
Unashamed

As I watch a kid
who’s not even mine
grow to be
a strong woman like me
I cry

Step-mom consumed by pride

#SlamWords #50thEdition r8

Barn swallows
Duck between skeletons of trees
Strong fast young
Uncaught and nearing forever
Come what May
#SlamWords #50thEdition #encore - round 9

an ocean breeze
was born along the banks
of another distant sea

longing to be free
it traveled ‘cross the world
to find its sweet release

until eventually
it brushed upon this shore
& breathed itself in me

#SlamWords #50thEdition #encore rd8

#SlamWords #50thEdition - round 5

There’s no more counting the days
But I’m not finished
Just savoring all the ways
This finale can amaze me
