Forbidden Love
At the edge
Of a recurring dream
A wild red rose
Wet droplets on petals
Like soft tears
Remind me of lost beauty
The scent of forbidden love
Grows so much stronger
Upon my senses
In my empty bed
I see nothing
But feel everything
The embers of my soul
Reach out in quiet desperation
To touch her elusive essence
Of a recurring dream
A wild red rose
Wet droplets on petals
Like soft tears
Remind me of lost beauty
The scent of forbidden love
Grows so much stronger
Upon my senses
In my empty bed
I see nothing
But feel everything
The embers of my soul
Reach out in quiet desperation
To touch her elusive essence

Empathetic Commitment
Just now I was pondering
How I know you care…
And you know
I’m 15 years deep in love…
But you can’t…
I Do understand—
There’s far too much at stake.
I know.
…and I know it’s not realistic
Or logical.
I know you know this more.
I’m an empath.
I feel it all.
Something tells me, you do too.
Yet here we are—
Both dreaming
Both loving
Both knowing
Both hopeless and helpless
And wishing and caring.
Because I understand and feel and love and care,
Because I know you do too and would if you...
How I know you care…
And you know
I’m 15 years deep in love…
But you can’t…
I Do understand—
There’s far too much at stake.
I know.
…and I know it’s not realistic
Or logical.
I know you know this more.
I’m an empath.
I feel it all.
Something tells me, you do too.
Yet here we are—
Both dreaming
Both loving
Both knowing
Both hopeless and helpless
And wishing and caring.
Because I understand and feel and love and care,
Because I know you do too and would if you...

Gut punch
It hit me
So hard I broke
No matter what
I’m still so in love it aches
Despite the mauled and shattered heart
Tossed
Despite these well-intentioned silences
Thought to save my heart another break
And help me find my healthy
I never lost this love
Never silenced it
Never logicked past it
And now freed from the prison
I tried to build around it
This love
It aches
It breaks my will
It collapses me in tears of missing
It cries out for a word
A sign
A moment
Of reality
Of recognition ...
So hard I broke
No matter what
I’m still so in love it aches
Despite the mauled and shattered heart
Tossed
Despite these well-intentioned silences
Thought to save my heart another break
And help me find my healthy
I never lost this love
Never silenced it
Never logicked past it
And now freed from the prison
I tried to build around it
This love
It aches
It breaks my will
It collapses me in tears of missing
It cries out for a word
A sign
A moment

Of recognition ...

Forbidden Lover
In this moment the rain falls and the levee disputes her ability to endure
But I spent my whole life enduring a torrent and bolstering my shield
at first from twigs and stones
Now I stand stronger than I could imagine, my capacity is a dam of my very design
I mourn the youth this world took from my soul much too soon and I am not invincible
I am afraid of being wrong and ending up alone
caught in the middle of all my feelings and self-doubt
But I wonder if complacency would claim me as I’ve seen it grow in all whom I loved before
If I accept solely...

Stitching Cartaphilus with strychnine sutures (written with the Eccentric Poetess, Crimsin)
fearless in your approach
enter
dial back the sun
it's too bright for me...
I speak madness
I'm fluent in the lunar code
exceptional in creating myths
filing down the days in absolution
written in binary is the original stasis
a mathematical equation illogical in its presentation
if you figure in the magics of the universe you would perceive the outcome
everything takes breath and is set into motion affecting things great and small---
throughout the universes
if you...

Lover dear
If we could
I would
Would you?
You’ve answered that already though
Haven’t you?
With your resounding
Deafening
Shattering
Silence.
Yet still I dare
To wonder…
Dare
To dream
Dare…
To dare…
I would
Would you?
You’ve answered that already though
Haven’t you?
With your resounding
Deafening
Shattering
Silence.
Yet still I dare
To wonder…
Dare
To dream
Dare…

Make-believe
Let’s play pretend
For a moment, my friend,
My love
If our complications
Mattered not
Would our hearts again collide?
Would I find you by my side?
Would we swim in that sea
Of passion?
Would you love me then?
And still?
For a moment, my friend,

Acceptance, finally…
The realisation came slowly upon me,
Stealthily spreading through like a wave.
Calm acceptance
My mind had found it’s centre of balance.
My adoration and feelings for you,
Not returned,
Now devoid of expectance.
I am sad yet relieved reaching this conclusion.
Our connection remains,
Perhaps will be stronger,
If the heartache has ended.
I’m not even sure if you knew how I felt
But it’s clear to me that more than friendship
Has never been what you intended.
I trust you when say you that you’ll be in my life. ...

love letter to my lover's wife
and if your wife ever worries
i wish i could stand in front of her
more than twenty centimetres shorter
and thirty years younger
as i am
and tell her
"look

more than twenty centimetres and thirty years less
so much less than you
