Melting to Puddles
He has this body
rock
statuesque
sensual
The kind of body
I could be entwined with forever.
Run my tongue down rigid contours
tiny flicks
and nibbles
trace circles round his belly button.
Brushing
soft
hair
against
smooth
skin
The sounds he makes,
he has me spinning.
Laying on my side
I can feel him pressed against me
cradled in
strong arms
tightly held
I trace his tattooed patterns
and fall in love.
He melts me

Yan-gant-y-tan
Upon a sodden shore
I wandered drunk
and quite unsure
For I thought
I'd seen 5 lights
illuminating this
darkest of nights..
As I approached they seemed
as if wanting to play
for the closer I got
the further they traveled away.
Hours of this
or so it seemed to be
when I finally looked around
lost was I,
and there was he.
Standing about 5 foot tall
a foul and disgusting
atrocious troll..
Eyes flaming like hells own coal
puckered mouth, egregious hole

To Rest Amongst Dreams and Stars
Dreams escape through windows,
Fluttering gently
upon soft breezes.
Carried to diamond studded skies,
to rest silently
with the stars.
Gentle waves of calm
wash over me.
Soothe my soul.
Fill my restless head with contentment.
Paint my dreams
in blues and greens.
So that I may
rest within the same skies.
Silent with stars and dreams.
Fluttering gently
upon soft breezes.
Carried to diamond studded skies,
to rest silently
with the stars.
Gentle waves of calm
wash over me.
Soothe my soul.
Fill my restless head with contentment.
Paint my dreams
in blues and greens.
So that I may
rest within the same skies.
Silent with stars and dreams.

Lucid Tangles & Webbed Empties
Shine to
brightly
And you'll wind up
Burning out.
Disperse into
your
Lonely
daydreams
Drifter
and keep
drifting.
Maybe you can
Melt into your
Stained glass
Miseries
and
dance on the
Edge with a
Cautious
mind.
Scream
Injustice
But as quietly
As the setting sun.
And
tiptoe around
the grey clouds
You insist to
Keep beside you.
Did you ever think
Tomorrow
may just be
A shadowed ...

The Duke Of Hell
Eyes
Black and searing
bore through darkness...
A weathered hand
creeps from beneath
an aged and sooty robe,
Allocer
waves his departure
to the crimson
and gold inferno below.
Inhaling a dusty breath
he jumps atop
his midnight beast...
Looks to the sun
deciding to ride East.
His path desolate
The earth fractured and impoverished
His beast,
and the vultures
his only companions.
Everything he furnishes
must be taken back..
He shows no empathy...

Eternal Winter
pouty lipped
pixie cut siren
She's perched beside burning candles
they cast her flesh in tangerine radiance.
Eyes vacant
oblivious
gazing out
inquisitive
indefinately.
She,
alluringly rough,
seeks no comfort
aside from the crystal
that lays delicatly between her
breasts.
Resembling
the heart she claims
feels no more..
I remember her
before the ice settled
and frost took over..
Vibrant
chirpy
waif
A heart to affable

Vacant Corners..Dusty Heart
Stormy night,
Stars give up
on winking.
Sky a velvet mass
Of
Foreboding
shades of grey.
Wind howls
an angry song..
Beating fiercely
against,
windows,
Harassing trees.
Obsidian atmosphere.
Rain thunders
against rooftops.
Lighting slashes,
Silvery and white
Streaking within the distance.
I'd
Rage
Behind walls
But
this is weather that
stirs the spoon in my
Tranquility ..
The earthy tones
of portishead
mixing
With the sound...

Rehearsal For Disintegrating
Chilled bones
Shivering from the inside..
The surface trembles.
Wavering
Limbs Sway
The child like
Woman
crumbles.
Barren lifescapes
All that's seen is
stars..
Hazey
images
calignosity
There's a
incessant buzzing
Within her ears....
The life beater palpitated
metacarpus dampens
Shell flushed...
A mortal icebox
with
Frost in her
veins.
She danced upon
speculum...

They Came To Say Hello
The wind it screams
A song you know..
Branches sway
As it does blow
Dancing about
To and fro
The birds they came
To say hello.
Fading the sun's
Golden glow.
Parting clouds
That drift so slow ,
Painting the sky
Grey sorrow.
We sit an watch
The gentle rain
begin to flow .
The birds They came
To say hello.
We watched
From windows ,
Heard their call,
Feathers flutter
Than they fall.
Hide your dreams
Like I told you so....
A song you know..
Branches sway
As it does blow
Dancing about
To and fro
The birds they came
To say hello.
Fading the sun's
Golden glow.
Parting clouds
That drift so slow ,
Painting the sky
Grey sorrow.
We sit an watch
The gentle rain
begin to flow .
The birds They came
To say hello.
We watched

Heard their call,
Feathers flutter
Than they fall.
Hide your dreams

I'll Paint you Beautiful
I've dreamed of you.
My imagiation painted
you radiant..
a drifting angel
in the last light of day,
More brilliant
than the hues of the setting sun..
Faceless
and unknown to me
my mythical prince of the ocean..
I paint you beautiful
I love you without judgement
unselfishly
wholeheartedly...
You've given me hope
When none was to be found..
Light in the dark..
Love in the emptiness..
Strength when I was weak
Meaning within my words..

Woven Together
We were together
within a realm,
vast and galactic,
embracing without
boundaries.
The earth evershifting..
your arms engulfing me
beneath a shimmering
canopy of onyx and silver
Dusted with blinking stars.
Standing within wildflower fields of
amethyst,
orange and sapphire
the wind blew golden.
You..
My source of strength,
I showered your lips
with kisses..
You brushed the sliding tears
from my watery,pooling eyes
and gazed into my depths.
My heart skipped contentment....
within a realm,
vast and galactic,
embracing without
boundaries.
The earth evershifting..
your arms engulfing me
beneath a shimmering
canopy of onyx and silver
Dusted with blinking stars.
Standing within wildflower fields of

Dreamscape Landfill
Sound surrounds
It echoes throughout
My own lil dreamscape
Landfill.
It drowns the empty space.
Ashes lay gently
Covering fractured wishes.
The sky bleeds
Wind screams
I dance upon abstract
Thoughts
And visions.
Tears collect creating
Puddles ..
Purples
Blues
Mixed paints
Of misplaced emotions
As I recall every memory.
I had this dream once
Of blackbirds
And angels
