confession
Moonlight Sonata is hanging in the window crack
It wanted to reach the ground
It’s okay
I’m not here to nourish thirsty hearts
I just feel hot and wet
Cheap coffee is standing still on the sill
It wanted to take a good photo with a book
It’s okay
Whether it takes the photo or not
It doesn’t get noble
It doesn’t get mad
It just gets cold
waiting to be consumed by the abyss
Thick notebook expects much from me
It wanted to be full
It’s okay
I don’t mind the blank pages
They remind me of my...

silent weapons
there is much lost in translation
even more in not actually saying the words
assumptions too often made
believing the message already properly conveyed
damage done is unseen
...leaves scars all the same
self-confidence eroded
as things deemed acceptably expressed
...go unsaid
how hard is it to speak
tell her she's beautiful
tell him he's handsome
it means more than you'd think
please understand...
...you're sexy...
doesn't mean the same thing
or carry the same weight
sure...you...

am I singing loud enough?
there are buttercups tumbling out of her pockets
& daisies tucked behind an ear
dandelion chain crowns
tied one end to the other
golden links for her hair
& she curls dirt-coated toes
digging anchors into the moss
deep breath of innocence filling her lungs
never closing her eyes for enjoyment
it's a world meant to be seen
with unwitnessed mysteries
the hum of bumble bee wings is a symphony
gentle buzz lifting on the breeze
whispering secrets only she hears
guarding them in her heart
next to her tattered dolls...
& daisies tucked behind an ear
dandelion chain crowns
tied one end to the other

& she curls dirt-coated toes
digging anchors into the moss

with unwitnessed mysteries
the hum of bumble bee wings is a symphony

willful amnesia
how honest are we with ourselves
when the night howls
& memory lies behind our eyes
is it the heart & it's infinite capacity to forget
gaslighting us into believing we must have...
...what we desire
as if that worked out so well the last time
& truth is...
reality tastes better dipped in arsenic
going down...at any rate
it's the gut clawing crawl to the end that reminds us
too late to kick ourselves
or renege on the deal we made
to appease our desperate need
to cave...giving in
...like a...

Labelled Fictitiously.
So, you think you know her and what’s more how to fix her too. A good kick up the arse and less victim mentality would be a start.
Thing is you haven’t a clue and the times she has used triple x super glue just to hold herself in place to stand in front of you or beside you or maybe a fraction behind you.
Funny thing is when she sees you, she doesn’t look in judgment but more a secret high five in solidarity and her words are always thoughtful and considerate.
Behind a face that smiles are also ones who had to fight either demons or life and possibly their own thoughts alone...

A poem from the heart
I was reading the work of other poets
Imagining you wrote it
Letting myself believe it is true
I wish I could see inside your mind, inside your heart
Why can't you have a thing for this form of art?
Maybe you do
If you do please let me read them
Let me hear your biggest dreams
and your darkest thoughts
your secret fears and your hidden emotions
I wish I could read your mind, heart, and soul like a poem
What a beautiful poem it would be
Especially if I finally find the feelings for me you try so hard to hide
I've broken down...

Immeasurable
there's an art
to asking for
physical submission
its just
a whisper
to your fire
unlocks
the door
of your true soul
that desire
to free your body
to a master's lips
nothing given
without
trust
intuition
knows when
its right
giving yoursrlf
is a beautoful
gift
immeasurable
just like when
the heart is given
to asking for
physical submission
its just
a whisper
to your fire
unlocks
the door
of your true soul
that desire
to free your body
to a master's lips
nothing given
without
trust
intuition
knows when
its right
giving yoursrlf
is a beautoful
gift
immeasurable
just like when
the heart is given

forbidden fruit (taste)
she taste
sweet
like almost
every other
forbidden
fruit,
the bite
of her
firm flesh,
vanilla,
like flowers
in season,
but something
of honey,
her bitten
core
challenges me
not to
leave marks,
to prove
that she,
as fruit,
has never
been plucked
so easily
before from
tree, that
her destination,
remains
the same.

A Void Of Nothing
My eyes are peering with sadness ,
through the window frame.
The blades of the curtains
graze my skin.
The sounds of us wailing
in the early hours of the morning.
What we have common is pain.
Inside my bereft mind
Is another agonising absence
My thoughts linger in the shadows
In contention with my sobriety
I wish to carve out a space within this meek soul
Hold you up to your every word
Lay your nakedness over mine
Whisper in the wind
Find me here in my solemn hours
My lips entangled with yours ...
through the window frame.
The blades of the curtains
graze my skin.
The sounds of us wailing
in the early hours of the morning.
What we have common is pain.
Inside my bereft mind
Is another agonising absence
My thoughts linger in the shadows
In contention with my sobriety
I wish to carve out a space within this meek soul
Hold you up to your every word
Lay your nakedness over mine
Whisper in the wind
Find me here in my solemn hours
My lips entangled with yours ...

The Eternal Flame
Can love exist without physical intimacy?
Or is it merely a brotherly, platonic affinity?
When the fires of desire begin to wane,
No expert, no mediator, can reignite the flame.
Perhaps it was a false longing from the start,
A passion not born of nature, but a fleeting art.
Man seeks justification, a scapegoat to blame,
When the truth is, there is no one else to maim.
We need not touch to make love, to feel complete,
Just the sacred bond of trust, a connection so sweet.
The passions of early days, they ebb and...

Poetry Is My Therapist
I tell you all my secrets
For you, I do not hide
Trusting in the process
Remaking my life
Never knowing what
The next stanza will bring
If I’ll be poetically crying
Or if I will sweetly sing
This write, it is a journey
Through past lives and woes
Trauma that dredges up
Memories morose
Then there are all those times
When I have really pushed through
And rid myself of bad habits
Seeing now with a clearer view
This pulse of life, I ride out
Wonder where it’ll take me next...
For you, I do not hide
Trusting in the process
Remaking my life
Never knowing what
The next stanza will bring
If I’ll be poetically crying
Or if I will sweetly sing
This write, it is a journey
Through past lives and woes
Trauma that dredges up
Memories morose
Then there are all those times
When I have really pushed through
And rid myself of bad habits
Seeing now with a clearer view
This pulse of life, I ride out
Wonder where it’ll take me next...

Beware
Walk all over me
Trample me down
Push all my buttons
Be careful there’s more bite
Here than you can ever imagine
No finesse under the covers
Come shadow box
But beware I hit back
Too much you say
Not enough for those
Who assume I’m weak
Trample me down
Push all my buttons
Be careful there’s more bite
Here than you can ever imagine
No finesse under the covers
Come shadow box
But beware I hit back
Too much you say
Not enough for those
Who assume I’m weak
