Oh will a severed dead
My witches still bleed you
A mother first a mother second
And all I ever do is need you

A will confined
To implode with time
Well be truth in stealth
There a coop a chicken, and a buck a dime

A word maiden
Not a truth in love
To come through and see
What a mood is tough

"Tough"

-E. Gonzalez

Laced in breeze; a shimmer show.
The tree there dances.
And like flitting leaves, the branches bow.

Now moon, a question:
Where roots have delved,
How's the ground which they have pressed in?

And steady now, foreshadow light.
There I will sit...
To see the night.

A breath dyed arid-
Who'd slit my throat.
Would eros scream your name in merit?

"Slit"

-E. Gonzalez

A vine upon a mirage
Like tweedled dismay
And to a thorn so to dodge

But wings a Pharoah of god
To depict in enigma
In which but a pitchfork and sod

To define is a rather, and a circle in time
It's all that would matter
Like duty who would be mine

"Mine"

A wing to me can't be foul
It's courageous
To brave the manic fool in my heart
To brave this puzzle of arrangements
It's the night to an owl

To find this jester's tear
To help paint my smile
Dig through my chest as is due in part
Hold me if only for a while
Though it may seem off, though it may seem q***r

It's the ocean to an orca
It's home
Tranquilize the dart
And help me roam
If only for when I ask if you love me, your answer is "sorta"

"Home"

-E. Gonzalez

Here a somber ring
Not sufficient, not serene
Suffocating ghastly-
By my lungs, a wreathing loneliness
A churning heart

It was to an Autumn
Ethereal
A killing of flowers
A somber ring
Here a heart

Awaiting malice
A breath is pale
A breath is yearned
Over by the creek a rabid tale- a rabid trail
Here a ring

Not sufficient, not serene
Not ethereal, not ecstasy
A men the soul, commending soul
Waver how a daunting dawn?
Was not surreal, but here a somber heart

"Here A Heart"

"Amor"

She was a spell
A sculpture at the hands of diligence
She was peril
Perilous to the frail heart
For she sought grand, sought perfection
Forever an engraving at my chest
Hovering over my stance she simmered my relief
And I quivered
And she noted
But kept on
Keeping the stain of my heart in her palms
She stepped, and she walked on my blood
I swayed hunched at my shoulders between a smirk and a boulder
Follow me said her soul
Fall on me said her spirit
Fall for me said her being
My chest then heavy
My eyes there-on weighed on by the lashes

A scalpel to my spine
A smoke to my lungs
A sense to my brain

Follow for me she said
A chain to my soles

And her kiss though vacant to mine, it suffocated
It rendered
It killed

Quick to my death she could run
But I begged her she walk

Weary I followed
Weary I fell
But her soles trampled me
Hopelessly maybe
But my arms therefore shattered
No pride, no parade
Just a vein gone stiff
Gone cold

So I searched
Not for wings, but for life
For love
For leverage

In my stead, there's a vision
A vision laced in kindred hope
Not inspiration
Not motivation
But a ladder

My eulogy of eu
My eulogy of beau
Run from versaire
Run blue
I don't see enough, but I see you
Amor

"Valak"

Swinging low now, light in its bitter.
Deranging valak, love; it is sleek
Crescendo in poise but a knock at my door...
A river runs although the flow is time-
And tears are a tide,
Pulled forth by the moon stained in rust,
Thereafter pushed back to space, back to lust.
There is only a wait-
For what is lost to versaire...

Rapid a glimmer is wading at night.
I see below a treasure titanic,
Bolstered in ice like its blue is my heart while I'm manic...
But see, friend to my honor,
I grip to a cusp-
Wishful, but entwined to the night like a hex.
Grand to my cradle, I bemoan in your death.
I grieve and profess but plead for no more than a stint of your measure...
Well I bleed, but I breathe/
For that I give hope.
Though sure as hope has faith,
My lungs have weight,
But my blood has been down at my knee.

A rouge of blue now in mahogany veins
A structure Testudo and now a riddle in days, a riddle in ways

Sing too through the wind, it cuts my heart a brilliant asterisk

Sing my sensitive exact to accurate

Love

A riddle in slices
A riddle in silence

Wings do bruise but a raven's crimes
But a raven's rhymes, a rhyme of crows with time

Inevitable

"Inevitable"

-E. Gonzalez

The sting through passions so foresaught
But a dream left to relique and whisper
So as to a metaphor the sea to an orca
A current now will blister

Derogatory silence of letter, may you bleed
And remember what's forgotten
To a pull or to a feed
The feeling is rotten

X-O-X-O
My pride since will long
So abolish
And bestow

"X-O-X-O''

-E. Gonzalez

"Monster"

11/17/2025

Ol' hue of better days array about my palliatives
You're kindred to my soul
A dominion of light in the times I'm relative
A reason to feel whole

Your smile paints rays from the sun
And a path gentle to a friend
I remark a fixture of love from the sum
A reason to feel whole again

"Whole Again"

-E. Gonzalez
