avis
sunrise
rose and amber reflections
paint the sky into the waves
gently rolling
empty horizons all around
miles of expanse
no disturbance
fluently soaring -
a streaming hover
subtle life, subtle death

Dark Chiming
Dark bells ring, crisp on snow
as all-fierce chiming grows.
Silky shadows rage tall.
Stumbling 'midst hungry stones,
I falter to break fall.
Hands fending torn tree bark,
I pause for those dark bells..
deep breathing arctic spark.
'Feel sky obey, blizzard reigns
yet the bleak chiming stills,
as I sink, weak.. and fade..
Fade into cruel winter,
sink as pale iced bone..
Fade from time's Forever..
(chilled wish, I have ever)
"I just want to go home"
Home.. to warm loyal arms,
my blazed candle inside.
Ensconced from world charms,
there, faithful, we reside.
Lit up at my center
smoldered balmy and bold.
Home is where my love lies,
home.. is for'never cold.
Knee-deep, ..nearly covered
by purest white storm's fall,
I recall.. 'love left me'..
minus hope granting peace.
Then.. I know nothing at all.
Dark bells commence chiming,
numb emotion spills weep.
I shan't ever sing along,
lain frozen, snowy sleep.

pretend with me
pretend with me.
drift into this blue and amber
dream of everything.
let the pages turn as they will.
a love story in ochre and plum.
where hearts do not break
under the weight of prudence and caution.
where midnight purples are common
in the everyday of your voice
and the freckles on your strong back are
perfect constellations leading me
beyond true north.
into misty valleys and
the down of soft pillows.
do not turn from me.
do not leave me in this beauty all alone.
pretend with me.
pretend that we are unbreakable
that this moment of tears
and broken keepsakes is just
a flight of fancy and that your heart will mend.
that my eyes have not seen the last of your stars
and the sun will rise.
pretend with me.
one last time
before you close the thin pages
and put me on the shelf of your
forgotten conquests.
into shallow pools of warm water,
i will wash away the last memories of your palms
on my hips and how your fingers
played my ivory curves until my skin sang
hymns to the relentless deities.
but before I forget…
one last time,
pretend with me.
inspiration is the last link, first piece that is played. i never caught the name of it, but i am in love with it.

My Daemons
Anxiety crawling along my spine
striking my core with spiked fingers impaling me
my daemons dig deeper into the dark matter of my brain
feed us they cry
we walk with you talk with you
listen to you when no one cares
give us a taste of white powder, a little liquor and porn
sexually appease us by rubbing your exposed clit
torturous thoughts we walk as one in your soul
sweet little cunt we are legion
we own you collared and chained
reigning in your skin
tasting your sweet cum upon
our awaiting lips
as we fuck your soul
oh you taste so sweet
little treat for the beast
feed us dark thoughts
as we fuel your nightmares
digging ever deeper in your psyche, your body
licking each orifice with probing tongues
knowing you, hating you, loving you

Note tucked 'neath my Pillow
Found a note from winter, of some long gone December..
year boasts nineteen sixty-nine.
Unopened, cold hands trembled, when scrawled old words were spoken..
To: my empty heart, From: Time.
It started, "You are not yet borne, but know I ..I am yorn"
and tears glossed my lonely eyes.
Fetally, I curled around this crumpled note without sound-
wounded soul, this bed, and I.
Words, a mere formality, to time.. space.. antiquity,
my love 'lone, has cried and cried.
It continued to say, "Heal.. I'll be at your side one day."
with emotion's wreck, I caved.
"Bleed not, for I already love you. Years from now, you'll see,
so renege your curse on fate."
" I shall find you to beg court, one brisk season- years henceforth,
by fantasies your heart stakes"
"Inside myself already, balm of true delight you be,
think on me, sparing blushed weep.."
"Cannot ask you wait for me but is my soul's fondest plea,
I wither.. 'til our days meet."
Drawn into a tighter ball, I shivered.. teared.. throat convulsed.
Is He of my destiny?
Old note's fade is showing, tucked beneath my pillow's knowing,
one.. one day.. love will find me.

Sailor
Take my broken mind
to the quiet places
sailing the ocean
weathered and beaten by the world
we find solace in each other's arms
the sea balm to our soul
sandy beaches beckon
we walk them nude
unashamed and cleansed
sea spray washes over us
bathing in the salty depths
we are renewed
seeing the world through your eyes
empty ports of pleasure
only a temporary fix
treading lightly I come to you in the night like a whisper
a water sprite dancing on the waters
in your minds eye captivated
you embrace me not to claim my spirit
but to make passionate love to it
easing my tension as you do so
coming on slowly
then crashing down on me wave after wave
my curvaceous body melds as one with yours
lying in the surf
touching, tasting, loving
no longer lonely
climaxing with the now tumultuous sea
crashing in on each other
crying out in ecstasy
then lulled to sleep by the whispering winds
in your arms I have found my safe harbor
excitement through the adventures that abound by your side
sailing the ocean blue with you I am at home
