Frost Bitten Stooge
What should I take with me to winter?
The warmth of your cheeks or the ice in your veins?
Through Cold hearts
Flow cold stares
When cruel intentions were small embers crying for life
Everyone of your kisses fuelled its flames
At every touch a chill
At every intersection I assessed this impasse
Masked as a self inflicted wound
Bombarded by over valued assumptions
I cav...

Stockholm Syndrome
New lipstick stains on old memories
Carnivorous with your intentions
Helpless in evading you
Chained to my ever changing emotions
Old scars in new places
Dancing alone in the trenches
At war with me, at war with you
Warring with the idea of us
Gorging on the flesh of what should have been
Yet never filled with my lust for vengeance
I seek
Recompense for a shattered...

Un-Shore
Still at shore with the weight of gaffes around my dreams
Afraid to set a course
At odds with all but how it seems
Perception sits on the thrown of what is
What is not cannot stand to the claims of what should be
With demise almost a certainty
Almost - becomes the theme that moves me
Fastened to procrastination
Circumventing the truth
Giving ear to assumptions
Off the...

Grey Skies
Shades of grey paint happy faces on my thoughts
As the cool breeze sets my mind on chill
Flashes of light brightens the beyond
If only for a moment
And that moment sits and simmers for a lifetime
I’m at the most calm when there’s rain drops
When everything else slows down
And the dust in the air dissipates
Senses are charmed by those rain drops
Inhibitions lose thei...

Wishful Thinking
Does hope sleep within your walls?
Is the dessert a blank canvas or a wasteland in your eyes?
Is there a greater height achieved after a fall?
Can there be any truth found within a lie?
Empty streets speak words of wisdom
There’s just no-one around to listen
What you can’t see after the crowds are gone
Are the footsteps of wishful thinking
She said to be strong
I gave a ...

I Dream of Summer
Mindless frolics debating the paths our hearts should travel
Then a touch becomes a prison
Wondering off to lands uncharted
Peach pony tails impair ones vision
Found myself counting the strands of her hair
No concern for the sum of the total
I knew the task could take forever
Wanted forever to be the destination
Consorting with great expectations the reach of her smile
A...

You
You are
The most beautiful sight I have ever witnessed
The picture painters speak of in their dreams
Sculpted by the hands of God
Created to be adorned
You are
Soft and calm
Yet the winds howl in your silence
Kings are birthed through your pain
Conquerors nurtured in your arms
You are
Not this drunken hag spewing refuse
Nor the hound boys perceive you to be
N...

Cold Hearted Persuasion
A severed artery blissfully glowing with crimson stare
Emptied of all but memories, scarred by dreams embalmed with fear
Held the wind in my hand but have I?
Have I held the wind in my hands?
Gave a kiss to a corpse
A cold embrace defines you
Beguiled by the ocean scent
Buried in the sand are my hopes for an indigo sky
As for the remains of a broken soul
Somewhere beneat...

Hourglass Appraisal
What was once a beautiful thing is now empty
I should have taken hold of what we had
But was too young to see beyond myself
What use to be a vivid and deep conversation becomes small talk
Just passing the time
You still know what buttons to push
I just think I do
It’s been years and your fingerprints are still on my heart
The more I try to get away
The harder it becomes ...

Love Note #3
In the mood for
Something pink and lacey with matching top
Whip cream covered lips with caramel all down your chin
Salivating – about to – dig into
Sweet honeydew nectar drizzled ever so slowly
And ever so graciously
Marinating my taste buds to an explosion
Fusing with every last bit of my senses
And propelling me to the very peak of
“I think I just lost my mind”
I’...

Naked
Void of mystery
Honest in its splendor
Hypnotic by nature
Captivating at its core
Every line that your surface acquires
Becomes a gem worthy of preservation
Created to be desired
Every flaw portrays perfection
Soft and inviting
Complex yet simplistic
Molded to be adored
Clothed to be devoured
Every line that your surface acquires
Becomes a gem ...

New Beginnings
Liquor can’t drown my sorrows
Liquor can’t dead my fears
Liquor can’t make this lonely nights
And shattered dreams disappear into the sunrise
Liquor took everything from me
Now I only dream of being drunk to lose myself
Into a past life where I hid from reality
Was afraid of confronting my demons so I hid
Till I had no other choice but to fight
Now I whimper at the thoug...

Princess
Why is my heart indigo?
What could have been became what could have been
All else failed and crimson became me
Was not acquainted with lost before I meet you.
Could not imagine this disdain that inhabits me before I lost you
Felt your warmth from her warmth
Kissed your cheeks through her skin
You gave me life then lost yours living me at indigo
Living me at this cold empty ...

Dance
Sway to the winds
Hoover over the plains of unwritten avenues
Brush away all misconceptions
Death to ifs and maybes
Lay with me in this tornado gliding to the designated mark that is love
Dance with me
Join me in my pursuit of truth
My pursuit of us

Women lie
Synonymous with vulgarity
No filters from thoughts to words
No impediments when set a course
Your very existence should be a verb
And she
She never lies-unless you want her to
Does not divulge
Who she is
She becomes whomever you want her to
And women lie
Be she-She doesn’t,
A lost for word she isn’t
Cold to your advances
Unflinching at your demands
A twister of words and cir...

Death to ifs and maybes

Dance with me
Join me in my pursuit of you…of us
