.
Keep your enemies…closer
To save yourself
Sometimes
The war to be waged
Must be
That of innocence
(supposedly)
Wickedness grins
There’s always
A price
For goods
Bought
That’s why
I choose to
Fuck him
Behind
Closed doors
Agendas
While teasing
Him openly
My eyes
Reminding him
Of lust shared
Nights enveloped
In sweat
Clandestine
Promiscuity
The sins
You could never
Commit...

Remembering My Deepest Heartbreak
Always remembering
to hold close
the lesson learned.
Reflecting
on how intensely
I was burned
and understood
to focus
on healing.
I spent time
recovering
and tending
to skin peeling.
I kept the wounds
clean
Inevitably
scars formed
Tears streamed
down my face
as I quietly
reformed.
Patiently
I wait
for him and karma
to meet.
Something
he won't be able
to cheat.

As the plane began its descent into Oklahoma City, Brittney felt a heavy weight settle in her chest. The city lights below twinkled below like distant stars. She knew this place well, but it felt foreign after being in Kansas City four days.
As she closed her laptop thinking of all the learning from those days, she felt a tangled web of guilt and regret.
She had always prided herself on her faith, integrity, and loyalty. She had been raised with strong moral values, waiting until marriage before sharing herself with her husband, Alex....

Black Tongue
So here is the truth while I lie to your face
i'll be right you'll be wrong no debate
focus of your fury completely misplaced
found innocent by a jury i get to create
i've got a black tongue i know how to use it
heartache and disdain will all be included
turn day into night wrong into right
the sand drops down i terrorize you daily
when i'm done you'll be trash in the alley
they'll cheer me on as i abuse you
i can be 100 people all in one
someone's everything the moon and sun
take it all away like none of it mattered ...

the sand drops down i terrorize you daily
when i'm done you'll be trash in the alley
they'll cheer me on as i abuse you
i can be 100 people all in one
someone's everything the moon and sun
take it all away like none of it mattered ...

Chapter 8 Departures
Chapter 8: Departures
In the early morning hours, Brittney and David had sex again before drifting back to sleep. She’d dreamed of walking in a garden when flowery wild vines began to climb her legs. When she stopped they continued to climb and held her feet to the ground. Eventually the vines climbed up her torso and began to wrap her neck. As she began to gasp for air, she woke up.
The first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room, Brittney began to replay the night before in her mind. Oh God, she thought. It had been so...

Clandestine
Secrets kept
Now unfold
The stories told
Shaping the mold
Here I’ve wept
Never known
Knowledge withhold
Resentment grown
Cannot forget
The truth controlled
Not consoled
Deceit threefold
I confess
Mercy sold
For price unknown
For glittering gold
Words of regret
To behold
Guile foretold
I was scold’
Wisdom inept
Cowards not bold
Shaking cold
I’m all alone

Chapter 6: Surrender
Chapter 6: Surrender
As the door closed behind them, they were sealed in the quiet intimacy of Brittney's hotel room high over the Kansas City skyline. The climate-controlled air was cool and sizzled with energy. David gazed at Brittney with the eyes of desire as he closed the distance between them with slow, deliberate steps.
Brittney's heart pounded in her chest. The rhythm of her pulse echoed in her ears. She could feel the heat of his body radiating against hers, igniting a fire deep within her that she knew wouldn’t be extinguished.
Brittney pulled away...

Betrayal
The Day I returned
Awakened
Harmony divided
In my faith
Past memories
God is who I hate
Searching the betrayal
Shadows of light
Silent Tomorrow's
Endless night's

Once upon a time, Norway was a shipping nation
thousand of people employed in this endeavor
because she was a low-paid country and could
haul, mostly American cargo around the world
Alas, oil along her coast, was found, no longer
poo, wages rose that was no good
Other nations, running lower wages, took over
and the Norwegian shipping culture
was history

At a glance,
Took no chance,
Peering in,
Struggling,
It ended with:
Red eyes,
Red flags,
Red lines.
You said that you were clean,
You said that you had changed, But when the daylight came,
I found you just the same.
Now I'm at a loss for words,
Now look at where we are at.
These days you think you feel the worst, The straw that breaks your back.
You can work yourself to the bone.
True but don't hurt your own home
Lose like life might not condone.
Look at the proof all around you!
How much will it take...

Delusional
I saw another woman in my dreams the other night.
Her pain soaks through my pillow
In phantom tears I cannot feel.
If this is how the tide must turn, set me free.
The paranoia grows tiresome.

In phantom tears I cannot feel.

Prayer of Confession
Last night, my lips spoke the
pleasing words of deceit to a
man who was not my husband.
I have strayed from the path of fidelity,
seeking sexual gratification in
the arms of a stranger.
As my bed linens hold the stains of a man's lust,
my feeble words of confession hold the stain of hypocrisy.
Surely, there can be no mercy for me.
