(All Of) The Demise Of Aphrodite
In a golden, mauve prison
Bemoans a poisoned, deaf convict,
Victim of his own persecution.
Neurotic fruits feed the beloved
With dressed-up dreams that are given away,
To leaves that fall and are never uncovered.
In an inert pit, I dig for meaning.
Obsessed, compelled to hell, they fiddle away -
Ghosts dance on merrily, they’ll have me kneeling.
Bright lights are always there talking;
In a kaleidoscope on the screen I become,
Back into euphoria’s womb, alone I’ll sing.
A decor of pages flow and unfold without...

Celtic Dawn
Celtic Dawn was the CD I played
when I was new to Arizona
when I moved into a sports-themed bedroom
in a weird guy's house
and took down the golf and football pictures
replacing them with pretty things
i spilled geranium nail polish
on the newly white tiled bathroom floor
perhaps on purpose
i played the comforting, foreign songs
like a soundtrack to a forgotten lifetime
when my small room became my cave
when fragrant lemons warmed by the sun
dropped lazily from the trees
near the pool
with a rusted ladder at the...

Ghost
Ghost”
I do not feel a thing.
I can only be imagining
Such a thing as life inside my veins,
As no blood, only the ache, remains.
Behind daylight, my heart is open
With the shadows I have chosen.
I don’t remember if I let them in,
Or if this is the way it’s always been.
Does it feel feverish? This sad oppression
Of my own design? My own repression?
It feels like someone else is beside me.
It feels like my insides move inside me
While I am still. Still and loveless as a stone—
It is a crowded sensation,...
I do not feel a thing.
I can only be imagining
Such a thing as life inside my veins,
As no blood, only the ache, remains.
Behind daylight, my heart is open
With the shadows I have chosen.
I don’t remember if I let them in,
Or if this is the way it’s always been.
Does it feel feverish? This sad oppression
Of my own design? My own repression?
It feels like someone else is beside me.
It feels like my insides move inside me
While I am still. Still and loveless as a stone—

Simplicity
There is something that was never told
It’s about a knowing that exists only inside that oh
so dark void within
Words that wind around my throat
choking truth due to your judgement
of me…the bitch with a cold heart
so you say
This “waste” of time never told you that our time
spent together was special to me.
We are and always will be two broken souls,
living and loving from the dark night of the soul
Saying the word love exposes that vulnerable whore
you expect women to be
Sad part is…mine was…is...

Mania Manna
My mania, my mania, my magical mania!
You certainly know what to do, you feed my lonely ego your manna.
You love me to life, you fill my soul.
You come to me seductively, you quench my lack of self control.
When night time falls and I try to sleep, you are there to hold me tight, I'm yours to keep.
Dancing 'round the moon under your spell, you seduce me, but I'll never tell.
From long nights in depths of confusion you remain ever committed to your abusive mission.
I heed your addictive assault...

Dive deep
Splatter all
your secrets
on the floor
and let the
moonlight flow
into the deepest
dark hole
in your soul.
Embrace your hell
and let me drink
from the well
of your wishes,
wash away the ink
of your regrets,
dive deep down
into your fears,
and let me drown
in ocean of tears.

How Do You Say...
How do you say to your
loved one that has passed on?
Not being able to speak to
them knowing you love them.
How do you say to someone
who you used to see and
visit them? I'm really going
to miss you so much Renee.
How do you deal with this
mental pain and suffering
that you were feeling? It just
hurts to the core.
With so many questions and
answers, we will never know
the how's and the whys. It hurts
too much to even to bear.

to be all right
i saw the colors depicted on the whitened walls
a prism of decorum in these imprisioned halls
refracted from the scalpel about to fall,
inner greed about to feed
letting go every drop i bleed
i await with the pain, to somehow dissipate
the hate, that harbors in the dark
to fall from the horizons of hell
where it all started or ended
writing names of the unwanted
awash within a striking red
to me, now and forever dead
I lay down exhausted and afraid
to speak an unspoken language
a body bare,...

Love Is Lights Illusion
I sometimes ponder if life is an illusion with all the feelings and emotions that come with it.
The whisper of night beckons with a sweet sigh as sleep slowly covers you in a suspended blue blanket.
Not even tomorrow can stop laughing at the end of the day.
I'm blessed with amazing hopefulness in the depth of words flowering from the poignancy of my poetry.
The connection is real. The light is real. I am real. But my life is somehow a living and breathing experience in illusion.
I love how the words begin to sweat from...

A Fleeting Presence
Time can never want.
A dead tree is still a dead tree.
Memories are kept up inside the canopy.
There is nothing to resurrect.
What little bit was, is all.
No more, no less.
Wait, hold the image in place.
Know it's alive always in your heart.
Only being distant will help.
Before was a part of the past.
Passion was poised and ready.
Don't question the feelings.
Come around when you're ready.
No tomorrow was inevitable.
Peace is always welcome.
I have the fever of longing.
Pass by and ignore me.
It's the best...

bitter love
Bitter Love
In the night, I whispered no one love like us
entwined we’re one body a mass of sated lust.
Her room above an ice-cream parlour was
an angle’s boudoir.
I left for work in a cloud of pink infatuation
and felt benevolent to all creatures in the world.
Nothing could touch me now the coast
was clear of underwater reefs.
Suddenly it changed a boyfriend, a fisherman
came back from the sea, it was him she loved
in our throes of climax, her thought was of him.
A fall from grace, total humiliation, the beauty ...
