mercy kill
you got me on a hook
straight through the gills
laid at your boat deck mercy
waiting for the blow that kills
then suddenly I’m lifted up
and I’m examined all around
but I can’t get the hook out
already down for the count
i knew once you got me hooked
when you were dragging me in
i caught just one glance at you
i knew I’d never fight you again
when you pulled me around
after so called stringing me along
i won’t complain on that, baby
here, use the string to my thong
now i’m in big white...

Your
eyes that read
between my lines
words I left
out on purpose
Loss
all is not fine
not without you
in my life
not fine, Not Fine, NOT FINE!
Is
while I am here
shall I do what I want
what I know is right
or what is expected of me?
Simply
you on my lap
arm on my shoulder
I am your man
we laugh
Unbearable
quiet moments
itch on left shoulder
pressing achy palm
thinking about
eyes that read
between my lines
words I left
out on purpose
Loss
all is not fine
not without you
in my life
not fine, Not Fine, NOT FINE!

while I am here

encamped
after the campfire dies
the forest has a way of baptizing
your thoughts—its obsidian font
revealing you are the captor
of your own shadow world—
your fears a prisoner
5:00 am
we all want a good story to tell—
when dawn illuminates
the foothills of a cook stove
utensil, you'll improvise
the landscape of food
the river
sliding against the bank
its black...

secrets and alibis
Queen of nothingness
I wrap it around me my covering
steal rainbows from the sky
color me beautiful just for today
tomorrow all will fade to dust
I will live in this moment
because it may be my last
coveting kisses--
from the lips of innocence
betrayer of heart
thief of yesterdays
I can't give them back to you
never saw it coming...this day
it snuck up with a hollowness
I died little deaths
while the whiskey drank me dry
what I had to give was stolen from me ...

Love, my (new) love is patient
waiting on You,
for You are liberated and
waiting too!
We are connected spiritually
corded afforded no linear
restraints for our love
has become
eternal. . .

Sword
Love is a one-edged sword
facing a two-edged sword
and saying
“I have no second edge
to flip around
and use against you”.

Memento (mori)
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will...

Bathe My Whispers In The Calling Of The Moonlight
Bathe my whispers in the calling of the seductive moonlight
Lay my soul bare on the bed of your mental cortex
Hearts infusing serenity within the depth of our moving temples
Infatuating my soul, intoxicated by the elixir of your sacred manly creed, your crown
As you instill my core with hidden truths of today
Kisses upon my lips, staining them of now, yesterday
Tongues binding yonder of tomorrow
Your skin I ravenous the taste, my King
The closest to worshipping the silhouette of...

FROM WITHIN MY SOUL
As night falls upon the world and I lay here staring up at the ceiling as I let my thoughts roam through the inner depth and deepness of my mind, as my inner feelings of you transcends from the equation of my most deepness emotions of you and I, as they are reawaken by the many scenes from nights that we shared together under the full moon light wrap up in each others loving arms.

a mirror of trapped reflection
my words are my power
i deliver them
with no intent
but to be free
of the cage i inhabit
mesh bars and wires
trapping my tenacious spirit
i live within
a false dilemma
no room for an infinite
number of solutions
slate overcome by onyx and ivory
i can leave or i can stay
it is one or the other
i roam the rooms
each one a mirrored image
of what is and what is not
i am in a state of
constant arousal
like a lioness
prowling, snarling
aching to be overtaken
ready for the...

cyclonic movement stirs
such mental turbulence
though you'd never know
just looking at the surface
how my mind constantly duels
with the remnants of my history
severing heads from lingering beasts
collecting the horns of slain demons
determined to find peace
it's incessant
the internal quest
seeking balance & healing
so noisome at times in my head
I can barely get any rest
but I'm a fighter
even when I'm tired
baby, you know this
my soul was already ancient
when I met you
we have that in common ...
