As I look at the moon tonight.
It is full and bright 
blue illuminates through 
my mind, stars align.
I am fine.

Lately, 
I've been burning up inside
my twisted demise,
my dystopia.
Tunnel vision, 
lost my mission, 
lost my way, 
lost my vision. 

Each night I sit with silence, 
enveloped in despair.
Constrained,
penning lines in my mind, 
I fail to keep, 
losing too much slee...

When you met me, I was an addict, and you were too.
We were addicts together.
We used each other, because that's what addicts do.
Our foundation was made of sex, drugs, and booze. No wonder it couldn't hold us.

When we ran together I was an addict, and you were too.
Each time I saw you was exciting, glamorous, taboo.
Never underestimate the value of a good running buddy.

When you told m...

God's love is unconditional 
but he shut up the seas behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb
and set its doors and bars in place
when he said, " This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt. 

So I won't let you drown me
as your tears fill the dead living room
I proceed to leave. 
When I was younger I would stay
and try my hardest to row, row,

Prometheus, no need for fire
                      Queen B is aflame
No, she is an empress
                       Kings bow before her prowess
No, she is a goddess 
                   Aphrodite falls short in her light
Prometheus, no need for fire
               Queen B is aflame 
                                    And I am

The world has changed.
In the comfort of my living room
Like an Amazon order, my modern Valentine was there,
available. Delivery in business 3 days.

The blue background of his profile picture
Replaced the romance underneath the blue skies
Which is fine.
We don`t get much of those in London anyway.

There were no whispers of love or lust
We exchanged bits and clicks.
Perfect-flowery-re...

There you are,
Near the fairies and mermaids
Yet, never far
Always in my heart

Here I am

Fueled by the memory of your love
I try to appease a untamed desire
Under this cold snowfall

In this absence, we meet in our dreams
With fictional daily routines
Craving for fluffy pillows and white sheets
and hoping for those embraced warm nights

In every city, I go.

In every country, I have been.

The Star and the Cross hope,

That he will be with us one day.

They call him by different names,

And claim him as theirs.

Both preaching similar faiths,

Both saying they are correct.

One says he is yet to come,

While the other hopes for him again.

One says he is the son of God,

While the other says, he wi...

Two guests are in your heart

you can tell them apart

by what they desire.

Which will you feed?

The one who desires greed

or 

The one who desires to cater

to the ...needs

of others.

Old Romantic

The roses gave her hay fever,

the chocolates made her fat,

if I were to believe her

that would be the end of that.

She complained the wine was bitter

and the card was over priced,

my verse didn’t raise a titter

‘cos it wasn’t very nice.

The lingerie was far too tight,

misunderstood agendas,

I looked a proper sight

in the stockings and suspender...

What looks like truth

often is not.

Looking thru the keyhole

often does not tell

the full story.

He had it all

we had little

but

We found joy in our little

he miserable with his all.

---

He stood in his Armani suit, pearly white teeth, Salvatore Ferragamo dress shoes

we in our Levis, dirty nails and tattered tennis shoes.

Our hearts full

his empty.

I got poems 
in my heart for you 
but I can't get them out. 
For weeks now 
I've been writing you 
inside my mind, 
playing with the words, 
looking for the rhyme. 

You stop time 
with your eyes 
you own me complete 
the blue and the green 
inside a fury 
of colour and dreams.

A maddening desire 
you ignite inside, 
keeps me up 
most nights I can't sleep 
because I'm lost in ...

I laid my head on your reassurance.

I crawled into your lap.

Prayed for all the world.

Felt you succour-warm my life-ache.

I trusted you.  You rewarded me.

I miss you.

I can no longer lodge my trust.

I have nowhere to lay my head.

I hurt in small hours.  Alert for nothing.

I ache loneliness when I am tested.

I haven't you by my side.

Faith - I long for you.

Soullessly starring into the air

As her body laid lifeless

All this time the Stifled screams

Shut away to keep them at bay, 

Any chance to show remorse

Shut down and accused of lies. 

If I could tell you one last thing

I love you would be the words to say,

Now I can't see you again

I see the truth that was buried within 

I can't help but blame a part of me

As ...

It didn't happen quickly,

The fall.

Honestly, I didn't realize it was happening at all.

A few encounters here and there turned to seeing him every day

Turned to waking up to sleepy smiles and stolen kisses

And now I wouldn't want it any other way.

As time passes it gets harder and harder to rememeber how I felt before I met him.

It is harder each day to remember who I was then...

I'm like sunshine...

I will bring warmth and light

to your world.

Grab my beams and I will burn you!

You can't own me

but I will be a good mate

if allowed to walk with you

not dragged by you.

Enjoy me and I will enjoy you

then life will shine on both of us.

Born into a palace

with servants of every sort

a cook

a maid

a gardener

a stable hand

Her hair flowed to the ground

the color of golden straw

Lips like strawberries

sweet and luscious

The land of Contentment

was her beginnings

Ever so beautiful

ever so grand

Her father was a king

one of great valor

a heart filled with kindness

Her mother a ...

I would love to experince

a love that is:

real

lasts thru all up's and down's

is gentle but firm when needed

A love that is:

friendship

and forgiveness when respect has been breached

that cares how words effect the other

A love...that does not try to own

but to be with

one that can be taken to the grave.
