Poet Introduction
If you wish to know me, read the words I put to parchment. If you wish to know who I wish you to know, strike up a conversation. My soul cannot hide behind a pen. However, my entire being easily hides behind an avatar.

Why Fear We the Darkness
Why fear we the darkness,
The sound of shadow and revealing,
Left only with our interpretations,
Of imaginary terrors seeded in self,
In flaws yet unraveling carefully woven avatars,
Leaving naked, shriveled husks,
Overbaked by illusory radiance.
Too long spent in darkness,
Too long listening to faded glories,
Having never been,
How we scream to mute the silence,
How we turn in panicked circles,
Seeking shelter from truth,
Our truth, profound and now excavated.
How we fear what others may glimpse,
As...

Gone All, but for Thought
I think of you,
Often and more,
Those remaining within the confines of this realm,
Having yet to cross over,
Grown distant, now fading,
Diaphanous memories dispersing,
Mist gathered in valleys,
Boiling away when found out by the sun.
I think of you,
Mind and memory gathering wool,
Weaving coats of such brilliant, vibrant colors,
Dreamscapes and battles,
Made heroic in such historic musings,
Souls oozing as blood from splintered, exposed bone,
Congealing upon charred, toxic footpaths,
Sighing in deeply the...

My Some Days
My Some Days
Some days, the smiles simply don’t want to come,
These are the days I try the hardest to fake it.
It isn’t because I think I’m infallible,
It isn’t because I’m afraid of showing vulnerability.
Some days, the laughter is harder to generate,
These are the days I employ plenty of silliness to mask it.
It isn’t because I think I have a duty to always be happy,
It isn’t because I think everyone’s happiness hinges on mine.
Some days, the happy thoughts are lost in a mire of sadness,

As Neptune
As Neptune
I remember him as a God of sea to rival Neptune,
Striding along ocean rim laced with froth and foam,
His very presence commanding the tides to wax and wane.
His power rippled across powerful shoulders,
His strength contained in his mighty chest,
He was a vision of presence against the horizon.
This waterfront world belongs to him, held firm,
It submits to him eagerly, hungry for his touch and praise,
It swells to show him all it can offer, then recedes quietly.
It awaits his commands, obedient and ready, ...

Misplaced Suns
I believe, perhaps, the gods misplaced the suns,
For surely I was intended to be among them,
And one of them meant to take my place here.
I am meant to burn, to incinerate, to devour,
I am meant to remain above, out of reach, untouched,
I am meant to be kept at careful distance lest I consume all.
Icarus would vouch my argument,
For was it truly the sun that fell him,
Or the wiles of a woman who knew no better than to kiss?
I belong away from here, departed and apart,
To smear color across the skies for lovers to paint, ...
For surely I was intended to be among them,
And one of them meant to take my place here.
I am meant to burn, to incinerate, to devour,

Be Strong, Always
Don't ever buy their lies of ease,
Don't believe there is unearned rest,
Don't listen for another second,
Trust your strength instead.
They mean to offer kind support,
They believe in what they say,
You don't have to be strong all the time,
Because their own strength gave way.
Your strength never takes a holiday,
Your strength never punches out,
Your strength never leaves you stranded,
Even when you're sure it's running out.
Your strength is made to endure this,
Your strength is made to fight,

In Memoriam - Meet My Friends
Meet my Friends,
I think you would like them,
They don't know you,
But they kind of do.
They know me, some really, really well,
Others just in passing.
They would be amazed at all of you
They know through me.
I still take those laughing fits
That last for half an hour or better.
You remember,
The snarf,
Squeal,
Snort,
Hiccup,
Wheeze,
Giggle,
Groan ones.
Oh yes, those.
They don't know that I get that from you.
All the times one of us would start giggling
For no...

Delicious Anticipation
His hand in my hair,
The breathless anticipation,
Dripping down my thighs,
Waiting for the moment,
He chooses,
To tighten his hand into a fist,
And pull.

Dripping down my thighs,
Waiting for the moment,

Greedy Little Cock Gobbler
You give no thought to the heat of your ass as it rests on your heels,
You keep your eyes turned up, staring into his,
Wrists restrained in cuffs and chains behind your back,
You are a victim of his eternal tease,
The glistening precum so close to the tip of your outstretched tongue,
Beading, glistening, growing heavy, eye level, you can smell it,
You don't dare look, your eyes always staring up into his,
Your brilliant green orbs seeking permission and being denied, again,
If you can focus, you're not...

If the Walls Could Speak...
To Whom Comes Next,
I should like to take this preemptive measure to first and foremost explain that those things which you shall experience are not entirely my doing. I am not a bad house. I certainly never intended to be put to ill use. Alas, the past cannot be undone, nor can it be unheard. A pity that it may cause further unraveling, including your own.
Perhaps, if you are particularly sound sleepers, you may remain blissfully ignorant of the midnight escapades regularly occurring within me. I might humbly advise a healthy draught of mulled, dark wine...

Failure of Simple Words
There are some words,
That are simply too simple,
To convey the necessary import.
There is no poem sufficient,
No song expansive enough,
To hold true meaning for complex emotion.
There is no catch all one-liner in which it will fit.
There is no leather binding capable of holding it.
There is no piece of plastic that can memorize it.
Words are simply not enough,
Where matters of heart are at stake.
There is no phrase to define this.
So, where simple words shall fail,
I shall attempt to paint you pictures,...
