shadow soul
In your depths, I am a shadow soul
licking at a flame I can't fathom
Fate is cruel and did not allow
My passion quelled out of necessity
Provocation denied and repressed
You graze my sexual soul
provoking my lust
building it until bare, I squirm
My confession, I am bound
my secret is I've never been free
it is for other Mistresses of Midnight to amaze
commanding a room, Dominate
My need puts me at odds within
At best, I am awkwardly attractive
arousing passions with my magic
...

In the Dark
A little boy
in the dark
laying in bed
wide awake
filled with fear
that closed doors
just can't stop.
Sounds fill the air
pain and terror
hurt and hate,
then the silence
a little whimper
a little weep
soft cries for help.
Filled with fear
open the door
into the dark
there,on the floor
mama...what can I do?

You saved me from me
As I reflect upon my own life I can remember the words, that were once spoken sounded, so far away from my own thoughts, as I try to shake it off. But regardless of what I've heard about my condition, I stood standing as though the floor 🕳️ opened up like a deep dark hole, 🕳️ feeling like there's no way out. 😔 For the side effects of what I was told there she was, still there in my corner with support and love and honor with encouragement. For me ❤️ to stand and fight, to the bitter end for it's been four years since then, and here we are...

The art of a proper kiss
You pecked my
cheek on your
way to another
grueling day
and I was in that
domestic conflict where
a smooch is cool.
You know.
You thought of me.
That’s sweet.
But you stopped
at the door
and I could almost see
the static in your mind
when you decided
to make me think of you
me think of you
All fucking day.
Your hand tangled
in the back of my head
as you searched my eyes,
then stared at my...

Awake
buddhamind is here to find
with each conscious breath -
Inhalation, exhalation
repeated until death
a chance to know, a chance to grow
within the flowing stream
of neverending thinking
of memories and dreams -
in between and all around
living life goes on
awake in this reality
is where we each belong
not in the past, which doesn't last
but fades and fades away
and what will be we cannot see,
Just here right now today

go f**k your own fantasy
Hell, I fucking hate you sometimes
because you, love
are everything I deserve
in my weakest moments
you remind me how much
I hate the base nature of myself
I'm too quick to anger
and too quick to let it go
because love forgives
love forgives
And I'm...
I'm too quick to blinding desire
so when you found me wet and aching
I wanted you to fuck me
into oblivion
right there and then
but I was never going
to be that lucky
So instead I watch you
fumble around me ...

old bloke bereft
better get ‘em in
before the bell rings
for last orders
are almost
upon us depends such little time
as we have left ..

Where I’ll be….
You can find me over at Stars Rite, under the same name. It has been an absolute pleasure being apart of DUP. I’m so sad it’s ending, but grateful for the almost decade I spent here. What a blessing. I hope to find some of you there. Much love, IntoTheRain.

CRACK'S CODE BLUE
Crack kills and that’s no joke!
It once killed my pocket broke
As my luggage wheel struck the sidewalk crack
And my worn-out heel cracked outback!
I wibbled-wobbled on a cracked low-pump heel
As a zoo waddling seal!
I took a tumble to the ground
Onto the soiled and grassy ground
And, as I fell, I cracked my nail
The pain flushed me pail!
Cracks – cracks – all these cracks
On roadsides, sidewalks, and bicycle tracks
And, can I have you believe, I heard a crack
On a duck’s resounding “Quack! Quack! Quack”
When I sat by...
It once killed my pocket broke

And, as I fell, I cracked my nail

GERMY-SQUIRMY LITTLE WORM
Germy-Squirmy Little Worm
The most clever – yet so firm
Plotting more scheme for what you yearn
Schemes, snares, deceptions going for the fiery burn
Ruining good apples with your germs!
O Germy-Squirmy Little Worm
Gleefully striving on yet not having yet learned
Whimsically strict and forever stern
Infesting people with your germs!
What wage – in the end – might you earn?
When having wasted your time transmitting your germs
Capturing innocent souls under vile terms!
O Germy-Squirmy Little Worm
I watch you there among...
The most clever – yet so firm
Plotting more scheme for what you yearn

Whimsically strict and forever stern
Infesting people with your germs!
What wage – in the end – might you earn?
