Is it too soon to say I miss you

Because I do

And it’s getting pretty hard to hide 

This game of cat and mouse has me tired

As I’ve always been a little more feline

Always had an extra scratch in my bones

Itching for heartbeat percussions & dreamscape melodies

Turning houses into homes while we’re in escrow and I’m still waiting for my keys


But we,

Are more passport stamps than white picket fence

Hands clasped as I lean against your chest

Staring together at a world of possibilities


I am a student of taking things slow

Learning to enjoy everything in macro

Up close and personal

Where a single breath is an eternity

Light telling tales in simple complexities of framing and shadow

Shallow observations deepened in discovered subtleties


If photo albums had chapters

This is the one I learn to master

Our best moments captured

In tonal ranges from light to dark - a shift in perspective 

Roadmap to my heart

Presented in Polaroid prints I’ve collected


Sometimes I feel overexposed

When left hanging for too long

Fears of being strung along

Dig up images I’ve long since burned

And released in ashes upon the breeze of a waxing moon

Learning to truly let go as I begin to let myself trust you


Fire cleanses earth

As the ground prepares anew


Seedlings stretching their sinews in search of sustenance 

Whispers of sweet stories reverberate in reverence beckoning us to pierce through our darkness

As the sun touches our skin for what feels like the first time

Painting us in delicious designs of vibrant hues

You

Make me feel safe enough to shine again

Bursting at the seams to entangle our roots more deeply as we outstretch our branches toward heaven

But this is a season of patience and appreciation

The nurturing of a most beautiful garden budding from healed soils and planted intentions

Singing everyday to the seedlings of our heart’s affections 

So every Spring we can have another chapter to look forward to

I may have lied When they approached me Asked me if I wanted to perform my usual brand of heartbreak I mean, poetry I said, sure Like it hadn’t occurred This drought of words A taste so obscured on my parched tongue Everything resembles dust to me currently A hint of salt in the corners of my cheeks Streamed with cliche similes About how we were supposed to be like soulmates or something Twins baby You’ve been consuming me since utero Reflection of yet another reason I have to go Irish exit before the next gaslit convo I lied when I said I understood your boundaries meant slowly dissipating into dimly lit shadows of what we used to call loving each other Did you know you were lying when you claimed this would be our last forever? Honestly, I miss who we used to be There is a part of me who thinks we’ll never stop existing in the forgotten corridors of things we gave up on I think I lied when I said I’m done With you and your crumbs Truth is, those crumbs have been the best poetry I hav...

I feel like a stranger in my own bed When I don’t wake up by your side To the smile in your eyes, the whisper in the way you trace every ripple in my spine like the binding of your favorite book Caressing fine print with tender movements and tempting looks Meandering my hips and thighs, like you’ve thumbed through these passages before under quilted comforters and moonlight Haunted by every past impasse Down every dog-eared corner of residual horrors Collected in the dusty corridors of your consciousness Congested consciences How we’ve conned our senses into confusing the unavailable for more valuable Chasing after sunset thieves Insatiable greed which pocket picks the beauty out of everything Unseen efforts festered in the boils of what you once thought was love It’s tough Feeling like nothing you ever do is enough Scared your next romance Could be another chance of bad luck I’m not a gambling woman, but You got me putting my prayers into pots of gold Sparking four-leaf clovers under ...

Classic Feature Recap

We had the Vegas streets hype with the buzz of last month's Classic Lineup... And lemme tell you, these folks did NOT disappoint ❣️😍 After a fabulous warm up with some super talented OM Bowlers, we kicked off the feature sets who kept that fire ablaze for almost and hour and a half of straight VEGAS HEAT! What a way to really dive into the summer solstice, 7-0-2 style! 🔥 Ian Sean kicked us off, accompanied by friends like Amy Divine on vocals, Ellijah on acoustic guitar, and Christian on electric guitar. The well-rounded sound of the live instruments really brought life to Ian's performance of his latest triptych album release "Life Love Death." He kicked off our features with a bang, enticing our audience to their feet to rock with him and his friends! SmokeyTone soon followed, rousing the crowd with a spoken word intro of his usual eloquence, peppered with comical asides and clever nuances which begged the reaction, "you had to be th...
