Ain't no Genesis in this song (with Adagio)
You love me like a game of chess
it's all strategy and flirting
only you don't care who wins
as long as you nail the queen
and you already nailed the queen
bittersweet and very keen
without a shadow to define
a place in Genesis
beneath the tree of life
Birth me whole in Eden
take your ribs
and mistake them other hard things
that need just as much attention
you called me a queen
stripped the leaves from my skin
then blamed me for the way
the apple brought you to your knees
In nakedness I am man ...

ink me, lover
Come tattoo
your name on my skin
make me the liar
I claim not be
You're the hitch in my heartbeat
the words I can't speak
have I ever told you I...
have I ever...
have I...
No
Come tattoo
your name on my skin
claim these veins as your own
because they've always belonged
a little bit to you
The truth is
I hate you, lover
I love you, friend
I need you, divine fucking goddess
Don't be another stranger
lost in the box of polaroids
you're inked too...
your name on my skin
make me the liar
I claim not be
You're the hitch in my heartbeat
the words I can't speak
have I ever told you I...
have I ever...
have I...
No
Come tattoo
your name on my skin
claim these veins as your own
because they've always belonged
a little bit to you
The truth is
I hate you, lover
I love you, friend
I need you, divine fucking goddess
Don't be another stranger
lost in the box of polaroids
you're inked too...

January
January lingers, cold and slow
I wonder how you are, where the streets go.
do the days treat you kind?
I wish I could walk with you, leave no step behind.

*Vulnerable*
I struggle to write love poems
It’s easier to rip out my heart and show you how it bleeds
Gripped and dripping down impulsively tattooed arms and dampened sleeves
Staining the shirts of those who are never coming back
But wearing occasionally just to breathe their scent
One last time..
Before washing them in grey and faded memories
It feels dull
And emptiness starts to fill the skull
Biting down on chapped lips in a room of unfamiliar faces
Hoping one of them emanates a purple hue ...
It’s easier to rip out my heart and show you how it bleeds
Gripped and dripping down impulsively tattooed arms and dampened sleeves
Staining the shirts of those who are never coming back
But wearing occasionally just to breathe their scent
One last time..
Before washing them in grey and faded memories
It feels dull
And emptiness starts to fill the skull
Biting down on chapped lips in a room of unfamiliar faces
Hoping one of them emanates a purple hue ...

Let Me In...
I see you there,
A fortress carved of shadow and silence,
Every stone a scar,
Every wall a memory of someone who taught you
That love was a weapon
And trust was a wound waiting to happen.
But I am not them.
I am not the echoes that haunt your halls,
Not the ghosts that call your name with empty promises.
I am here, flesh and blood,
And I will stand in the storm of your defenses
Until you let me through.
Let me in.
Not to take from you,
Not to demand your strength,
Not to claim your broken pieces as my own. ...

Every wall a memory of someone who taught you

And trust was a wound waiting to happen.

Not the ghosts that call your name with empty promises.

Vestige
I trace the place where you used to rest,
fingertips ghosting over absence,
over the quiet unraveling of us.
The walls still hum with your breath,
low and distant, like a song I can’t forget.
I close my eyes,
but the melody lingers.
You were the storm I stood in willingly,
arms outstretched, waiting to drown.
And now, only echoes remain—
a silhouette in the doorway,
a whisper in the dust.
I tell myself I am free of you,
but even in my solitude,
I still speak your name.
fingertips ghosting over absence,
over the quiet unraveling of us.
The walls still hum with your breath,
low and distant, like a song I can’t forget.
I close my eyes,
but the melody lingers.
You were the storm I stood in willingly,
arms outstretched, waiting to drown.
And now, only echoes remain—
a silhouette in the doorway,
a whisper in the dust.
I tell myself I am free of you,
but even in my solitude,
I still speak your name.

Sanctuary
You move like a hymn I have forgotten,
half-remembered prayers slipping through my teeth.
There is silence where your name used to be,
a hollow space where devotion once bloomed.
I kneel in the ruin of what we were,
palms open, waiting for rain—
but the sky does not answer,
and neither do you.
Was I a temple you abandoned,
or a ghost you let haunt the walls?
Somewhere, your voice is still echoing,
soft as a tide that never comes back.
I swore I’d leave, I swore I’d burn it all down,
but your shadow is stitched...
half-remembered prayers slipping through my teeth.
There is silence where your name used to be,
a hollow space where devotion once bloomed.
I kneel in the ruin of what we were,
palms open, waiting for rain—
but the sky does not answer,
and neither do you.
Was I a temple you abandoned,
or a ghost you let haunt the walls?
Somewhere, your voice is still echoing,
soft as a tide that never comes back.
I swore I’d leave, I swore I’d burn it all down,
but your shadow is stitched...

hanging cranes
You fold me into origami
glaze me over, heat me up
call me porcelain art
hang me from the ceiling
and watch me spin
in this whirlpool of love
Your heart is a blackhole
and I mistook you
for something beautiful
when you were just a cuckoo
masquerading
as something wholesome
glaze me over, heat me up
call me porcelain art
hang me from the ceiling
and watch me spin
in this whirlpool of love
Your heart is a blackhole
and I mistook you
for something beautiful
when you were just a cuckoo
masquerading
as something wholesome

Mm..No Matter What, My Darling, Mmm..No Matter What
Sultry sentiments reaping
Erratic sinsations spiraling into a tornado of passion
The sweeten taste of ecstasy slowly seeping
Shh…soft whimpers of anticipation
Je t'aimerai toujours, dans et hors du temps
Anchoring in the haloed silken passage of my divinity
Taste my yearn, surrendering my Sacred Chakra unto the three Heavens
Tears stains where inks stains have tattooed my heart
Escape in the cradle of my mind
Fading into the pigmentation of my fervent skin
It’s carnal feast of pleasure I do indulge
Falling...
Erratic sinsations spiraling into a tornado of passion

I choose you
They tell me I can't love you
Like I don't have a say
Isn't it my heart
Shouldn't I be the one who decides
whether or not to stay
They tell me I shouldn't love you
Because you're best friend loves me
Why does that decide
whether or not this love should be
They tell me I can't love you
They say I'm a horrible person if I do
Why is it such a terrible crime
to be in love with you
They tell you you shouldn't love me
Will you listen to what they say
Will I be the one you choose

make it hurt
Rip me open
break me in two
what am I supposed to do
with this heartbeat?
Your hands on my skin
YOUR hands on my skin
I want more
I want more
I want more
Don't make me beg
love me for all my sins
make love to my sins
and tell me I'm divine
when the devil owns my heart
You settle for less
than what you need
I can't be what you need
but it's okay if
you want me anyway
as long as you know
I'll let you down
(I already let you down)

Oh, My Goodness, What A Night
This day, oh my goodness, what a night, my birthday started out with me on perfect vacation, the bliss started out in bed, and let’s say from there, ever other liaison, my stilettos stepped into the entire day, became gold.
My Grann sent me a monthly stipend, however this month, I can retire, well, at least for three days. Then blogging from my recreational room, then after that, everything become a sweeten blur in Atlantic City.
