David E Navarro Poems

This exploitative supersizer stands
In the fires of envious aggrandizing
Stoking self-centric delusional grandeur
With the gasses of his invented felicity.
...

Love blooms like pretty eyelashes
unsuspecting fly lands
vicious Venus snaps her prey
rips him to shreds
...

Peel off my layers
as we flip through feelings
like perusing some brain file.
...

He stared at the mirror until
his reflection moved different
thus revealing his enemy
this doppelganger hidden
...

He decided one day to subjugate
his regularly scheduled reality
to a euphoric eccentricity test
an intense labyrinthine trudge
...

He saw the clouds
and took his umbrella
on his sleepy carousel life
round and round
...

Like some monument to comfort
you shirk duty

you
...

The flavors of relief—
a variety of discombobulations
scooped into society's sugar cone
waffled with eccentricity
...

In the parched places
I paused

for a cool refreshing draft
...

Happily ever after
love's fickle fiction
some delusional grandeur.
...
