POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
In Between The Sheets
You was embedded in bone
buried in tissue
from the moment my lips
eagerly kissed you
My eyes became fanatic
of skin a dulcet dessert
Fingers came alive
as you unbuttoned my shirt
We howled under a full moon
the ravens took flight
fingernails left memories
moments of sweetness and light
The beasts caged no longer
liberated by love
caramel carnal desire
coating sins undreamed of
Racing to the edge of the unknown
that last look into your eyes
birth and death in your arms
wrapped in an iridescent...

Suit Up
I want to wear you
like a fine cologne
wrap my faltering existence
in your ensemble of confidence
sewn with threads of fortitude
as I have the tenacity
to own a room
I want to watch her eyes
become helplessly lost
in my story written anew
as each chapter has her
playing cat and mouse
like a little school girl
I want to discover swagger,
smell the air
from a higher plateau
as I have the grit
to stare god in the eye
I want my armor
from a judgmental world
that bogarts second chances
but is...

Tomorrow Is Another Day
Torn from the pages
and gone with the wind
Love's fire too blinding
to keep one's eyes skinned
Timing is everything
at first sight but a dream
Water through the cracks
dividing it at the seam
He said, she said
I love you out of sync
Tiptoed to the edges
procrastination at the brink
Bitter sweet memories
a taste to be acquired
Hearts still dance
long after the music expired
Faith and fear
never will they wed
Fire and water
too much left unsaid
Still the hearts beat
with such...

Creatures Of The Night
What is it about the night
that heals these scars
freckled faced skies
fireflies trapped in jars
What is it about the night
that heals this pain
old tin roofs
and the melody of rain
What is it about the night
that feels so free
moonlit silk sheets
empty bottles of Burgundy
What is it about the night
that reminds me of you
Two hearts beating as one
bidding loneliness a sweet adieu
that heals these scars
freckled faced skies
fireflies trapped in jars
What is it about the night
that heals this pain
old tin roofs
and the melody of rain
What is it about the night
that feels so free
moonlit silk sheets
empty bottles of Burgundy
What is it about the night
that reminds me of you
Two hearts beating as one
bidding loneliness a sweet adieu

White Pages
Here you are white paper
blanketed in curiosity
awaiting in surrender
for my literal dominance
to envelope you in a tattooed bondage
of thick ravenous ink
and wet elicit wonder
You want my secrets
planted deep
in your ivory fields
until you lay naked
covered only by my sins
You want to feel alive
gazing in your wide wonder
of an equality that is raw
and prohibited yet all so desirable
You follow me
tracing every syllable
with your hungry touch
excited and pulsating
for each silent death
...
