In Order

Squares watchwith perfect orderthe chaotic playof sunlight’s shimmering end,sparkling denouementfluttering by windthat dares to throwshade before passage. Curled as one in blur,lessons playand their bond mergesfondness and idealism,sanctity of quieter momentsprotected insidefrom the blusterof colorful flight. Still the distance swims around them,unnoticed but crawlingthrough perfect lines,ninety-degree anglesaligning in a worldwhere symmetry silently attemptsrule over beauty’s […]

Unplayed

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensSplayed loss, a fold in the game. Failed hands turned down, face drawn, hope unveiled as foolish faith. Winners smirk, gathering pooled profit, ahead of truth and cowardice. The cards always kept too close, afraid of chance, risk too certain and failures looming as clouds choking […]

In the Mix

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensWell don’t they dip and dive, these benevolent souls craving rich desire? Sinking, undulating, blending sex and soul as if smoke in airless rooms, tendrils of need wrapping into each other as ribbons on gorgeous gifts. They thrust and kiss, succumbing and urging, each an overlapping […]

Disorder

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensUnfocused sun trapped in protective grids, flares notwithstanding; disregarding. Fears blast through convex stumbling, dropped words and failings inevitable. Illuminated in the order of things is a pinch of imperfection, the delight of entropy and an embrace held too long. Passionate clutches carry bodies higher than […]

It’s the order of failing chaos framing each success,regardless of the place, time or catalyst,its dream […]

Potential’s Fall

Cracked, spent seed, delinquent potential fallen to decay, a future of roots dismissed by errant dispatch. Growth is promise. Everything begins with the blessings of blue sky and radiant hope, youth dissolving into distant wishes for rich soil, fertile grip, tenacious attraction and the destiny of transformation into something greater. Evolution is a winner’s game, […]

Unplugged

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensPowerless in threading incandescent invitation and lost in the glare of a low son. Late afternoon drafts. Convivial palaver and easy gregariousness course through dusty air, and heads turn studying lithe physiques, flirty smiles, raised eyebrows and searching glances. No time, the day’s end crawls into […]

Waxing Youth

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensA gang of candles, crowded by small diligent hands, dim, crowded luminance dancing across walls, shadows flirt with joining night. Day finds concentration’s curious folly; lids removed, wax scraped under tiny fingernails, brow furrowed and then a delicate wipe across denim as escape from a sticky […]

The Blank Hurry

It’s not a death, facing each day is breath and strength and captive attention to the slow creep of hours while assigned to responsibilities that perch like stone gargoyles on brittle shoulders. Weight is a rule, a crushing pressure extremities beg to remove, their tremble constant, surrounding an uncoiled stomach unable to settle under the […]

The Blur of Right and Wrong

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensDiffuse signals bark for order, drawing lines to their colors and filtering progress carefully in measure, as if life were a genius recipe demanding exact quantities to impress flavor. Commands echo, trapped behind pressed eyelids swarming with thoughts of futures spun ahead, in sight but disallowed […]
