Breathless Dancing

I watched as they held hands and walked on to the dance floor, it sent a jolt down my loins. I could not identify what it was but I felt like I needed to be close to her and I didn’t give a shit that she was there with another man. I grabbed my wife’s hand and asked her to dance, she was surprised because I rarely dance at weddings…I rarely dance at all.
She had her hand in his hand and around his arm, her chin was resting on his shoulder, and her body was pressed against his…again a jolt in my abdomen. I had known her for...

Inhabit Me

All Rights Reserved
You are haunting my thoughts, day and night
Every lyric in the songs you share with me
Agitated with every memory when you smiled at me
Distraught with each text
Roused with every chance to talk to you
Your words have inspired me to rise from my lethargy
Possibility is not just an empty promise
Love is not just a fantasy
Your wisdom and life-force inhabits my very soul
I let you ease my pain, my lifelessness
I let you in my brain, turned doubt into creed
I wore all of my...

Starvation

All Rights Reserved
Feel my teeth as I bite your organs
As my nails amend your abdomen
Cleaving palms, cemented on your skin
Licking you from breast to chin
Tracing the destruction
Fucking the seduction
Devoted to your ruin
Penetrating you with poison
Defeating your form in violent motion
True beauty in this savage moment
A vicious ache becomes obedient
Provocative appearance darkened
I selfishly branded your substance
Massaged my bones in your essence
The flesh on you is the...

Pretty Thoughts

It was a chilly evening in January and I was early to the cafe, the waiter delivered my regular mint shisha and Red Bull and I began inhaling the whispy tendrils of smoke into my lungs. I crossed my legs, rested my shisha lay on my bottom lip, and sunk into my chair. I placed my earbuds into my lobes and pushed play my NYC playlist-smooth beats began to serenade me on a walk down memory lane, occasional half smiles breaking across my face.
The cafe began to fill slowly and my red bull changed to a mint green tea. The...

Bliss & Balance
vessa07DUP2016
All Rights Reserved
As you move your body next to me there is so much more to lose than we realize.
Scared that we want it and that if we give in we could lose it all.
Allowing what is between us to become real, will inevitably disappoint us.
It could not possibly live up to what we imagined it to be.
The universe does not allow for such infinite bliss without a balance.
If we take it will it break us?
If we give in will we have to surrender everything that we know and love?
If we even recognize this feeling between us...

Secret Attraction is Futile

All Rights Reserved
You catch me staring at you in a moment when I am picturing you touching me and your deep brown eyes look back at me so deeply it as if every secret had been released from their cages and poured onto the table between us. My heavy chest, weighed down with the obsession of you finds relief in that moment. Your eyes widen in realization without words.
Each written word exchanged between us provided no truths but simply an ink blanket to cover what was not being written. Each word shared and each laugh given were vehicles of sound...

Power to Seek

I cannot say I am strong but I am better than I was before. I cannot say I am all-knowledgeable but at least I am wiser than before. Seven years have pass since I departed my homeland. Seven years since I broke with what I thought I knew; blaming the outside world for life's problems placing stereotypes on entire ethnicities out of ignorance and fear. Seven years I have walked a broken foreign road. Say what I must and do as I must but know I have moved on. I have blamed America for my ignorance but now I know-truly know. It was always...

Unquestioning Bliss
vessa07DUP2016
All Rights Reserved
Those late night cafes in Cairo... Yes, the most pressing of matters are discussed and the most ingenious of ideas are laid out over cards, mint tea, shisha, and backgammon.
I'm certain those late night cafes have monitoring devices inside them now. Corporations/governments likely monitor what is said to find out the prevalent social spending trends, or to thieve a novel patent on some far-fangled contraption giddily dreamed up by engineering undergrads. The government and police certainly monitor what is said to weed out any useless...

Those Hands
vessa07DUP2016
All Rights Reserved
Indecipherable reflections of your golden skin dance in the glass tabletop as your hands speedily deal the cards above. I have fantasized about you touching me with these hands hundreds of times but have never given them proper attention. I pick up my cards and after a quick grouping of the suits I shift my eyes to your fingers making the same adjustments. Your fingertips push the cards back together like an accordion, ahhh how I wish you would brush my lips and leave your fingerprints on my lip gloss. First softly and then a bit harder...
