From Emperor to Vampire, journeying through to final place of amoral monk.

The head of a rose

dry and broken

like a soft word spoken

which was not heard.

The head of a rose

petals close together

intense love held forever

which was not seen.

The head of a rose

leaves are tattered

a life lies scattered

which was not known.

Swaying

a sweetness,

trespassing

salt-cracked hearts

that pass in prophecy.

Stumbling

upon angels,

awaiting

steadfast negligence

of tranquil demands.

Rolling

stony silence,

coveting

words that ache

to be born

into my arms.

Time ticks wanton.

Tear off my guilt,
tie me to your salvation,
innocence will fall,
at your feet of vindication.

His discipline
was her most
desired mercy.

He subdued
and elated her
simultaneously.

He affronted
her with exquisite
hedonism.

She kept him
with sacrilegious
possession.

Reminiscent
of a memory,
she was yet
to treasure.

In their intimacy
he humiliated her,
until she learnt
humility.

Unfounded –
they remained unfound.

In ecstasy.

Forgive me as I dip my pen into blood of the past.

Memories.  Hanging bright as the whitest moon

in my blackened, indecorous thoughts.

I was his lover, his muse, his friend,

his counsel over secret canal side walks.

Both sharp suited, professional by day,

we drove fast through boundaries

into love first after taking vows of never.

I cannot feel your pain.

Your body is numb,

Your mind in hibernation.

For now, let yourself rest

In June’s heat and chatter.

It will take time to be

that knight again

that I cherish so.

But I am there.

Within the silence

I am there.

There are these times of the year

that hunt and haunt my soul.

If I am undistracted – unaccompanied

then I become unexpectedly – unnerved.

Whispers on the breeze I cannot hear

catchlights in eyes I cannot see

memories of you I can no longer feel.

You are only 10 miles away

out of my life –

but no distance away

from this

residual haunting.

Ties loosen

eyes now bound

dominance and submission

momentarily forgotten

within their

I am undone.
I am flayed –
not by a strike of hand
but of gentlemanly politeness.

I am bereft.
I am rejected –
not by a lover’s spurning
but of frustrated licentiousness

Will my vampire ever brave the depravity of reality,
from the enigmatic dark of brutal chivalry?

To say
I don’t think of you
would be a lie
but I dare not pine
As you cross my mind

Do not
ascertain as I close
the bedroom curtains
my wildness is founded
in uncontrollable desire

Ignore that
contented smile
while you hold my gaze
I suggest gently that
you need new glasses

Sipping more  
or less Dom Perignon
I’m sure it won’t be long
Before barman calls time

Sometimes.  Sometimes, when I am alone,
 I slowly, warily try and bring myself back.
 Cry out the rotting lump in my throat,
 pull at greying hair, a constant reminder,
 life is passing and you are no longer there.
 Unable to breathe. A little girl lost,
 flying kites into thunderclouds.

Glancing faces of mornings in all their glory
 delivers me to rest – and now I’m blessed
 with ...

Come to me.

In darkening clouds

and balmy breeze

that boldly bucks

my willow tree

into enlightenment.

Come to me.

Touch me.

Touch me where

I ache the most

show the least

and love you the best.

Touch me.

Stay with me.

Share my twilight

sultry sensual stars

with a shine that

warns off dawn

of atonement.

Stay with me.

A thumb – intently placed on chin

caressing every freckle into a letter

that spells out a story blushing lips

that remand and remade the ending

Forefinger – smoothing the jaw

straight as lines read and re-read

he turns her over like a page

his favourite fable, every inch

a mythology of unreason.

Genteel palm – perfectly placed

on ripened white, depressing sp...

I

Staring a half-hearted wonder of who you really

are into a crackle and glow of home comforts,

I swill serene glass of Margaux round and round

in hand that writes and re-writes reminiscence.

Commuting through those sullied Surrey suburbs,

did the severity of your suit cut a sharp intake of

my breath as I pushed through the hollow crowd?

Poetry flames in devotion, an a...

“Chin

down

slightly,

head towards finger, keep going, keep going, there – stop.

Eyes to me.” 

Sequestered devotion to bemused muse.

She stares back digressive, dictated expression.

Seeing now not the man, but the Brady stand.
