Image for the poem hurt me eyes

hurt me eyes



hurt me eyes – ombre tears
lips that plead ‘come back to me’
a torch song wanes & silence nears
blueness deeper than the sea

sorrow earned & passion sold
reaching for a burning star
would trade it for a hand to hold
so close, but much too far

stone ponies on a carousel
innocent lies. come hither stare
hotel room booked & secrets tell
let’s not call it a sordid affair

a man knows how the cold wind blows
loads his gun to settle a score
some girls too quickly shed their clothes
walks in a woman, comes out a whore

a nameless street. a random bar
these things are never planned
jukebox dreams & one more scar
a drink. another one-night stand…


cursing love, caressing shame  –
you’re lonely all the same
