The Compass Points
Suddenly you find yourself
Wide open to your absence,
As the empty barrels in a half-loaded revolver
They dressed you in a hippie shawl
(Jesus fuck) even flowers in your hair,
Turned on, tuned in, dropped out
Into dream of desolate streets Millennium
Whored myself to your eulogy
‘memories will remain in the grass and rain,'
Just wanted to shake you awake and slap you
Sing you the latest Morrissey song
Was the rope your final joke
As you just hated hanging around
Cavernous low
Come speak to me in the...

When Things are Right - Collaboration with NightGoddess
When things are right, you can just taste it. Simple things can make your day, like the cheese melting on a perfectly crusted slice.
As chef, I was responsible for that imported mozzarella slowly congealing at the right temperature and tempting the juices on my tongue as if nothing else factored into its perfection.
It was like that when I saw her; everything was just perfect. Wearing a tight black dress with an overlay of lace, sheer in areas that would have made any one else blush, I stayed strong, and remained in control. Yet, as she turned, I found my eyes wandering...

certainity
It is very important to have certainty
in any relationship, the certainty that
I will apologize and he will forgive me.
the certainty that if I will fight with him
and will get angry with him yet he will
do message to me. a firm belief that
even if he feels bad about something
of mine, about my bad behavior yet n yet
he will not leave me at all, he will always
wait for me. the surety that everyday with
the rising of the sun, he will forget the old
things and will start the new day with new
freshness and new sweet...

confessions
an expert in evading feeling
I twirl my emotions inside me then block them out
it's a gift really forgetting
but there is a great fear in me
of losing my beloved
I wonder when I let him in?
I mean, I didn't intend to
my plan was to fill my loneliness
when did I become so needful
needing his love, needing his affections
I'm usually cold on the outside
this admission would surprise him
I don't let my emotions show
that would be a weakness
most you'll get from me
is a flicker in the eyes

The tao of two hearts
Damp hair
glistens
catching the light
cresting dark waves
framing chiseled stone
a heartbeat's skip
maybe two
as I catch my breath
snuggling down further
appreciating the depth
of tenderness
Clean freshness wafts
everywhere
pulling a long inhale,
I feel you chuckle
Strong hands
caress my back;
play with my ear
in favorite choice tease fashion
My legs tuck in
toes curled
borrowing into the crook

Happy Endings.
I would love to wax poetic
the moon and stars.
How beautiful life is~
shared with my one true love,
Prince Bullshit.
That’s not what happened
that’s not who I became.
I’m not soft and huggable.
Life taught me not to trust,
and I believed it with
ferocious willingness.
Far from being all in,
I’m completely out.
My purse contents:
credit card,
passport,
lipstick.
The color~
“Fuck You”.

Love in the time of the Internet
'I love you so much''
He said to the Beauty on the screen.
The FB picture of a woman
He fell for after a small research
And a few clicks.
She had 1K friends
But she also declared her love for him.
Kindred souls they were.
Truly.
But their love would remain
On the screen
Separated as they were
By an ocean
A different culture
And severely different values.

Men in the Feminine Products Isle
How many men have stood in the feminine products isle
Looking bewildered and confused by piles and styles
Knowing their wives or girlfriends sent them on a run
And it’s urgent so they know this shopping is not fun
Oh the deer in headlights look of these young men at first
Talking on their phones asking her before it gets worse
Eyes cast down embarrassed that it’s come down to this
But they better get right or else she may get pissed
And when two men walk by each other on this isle
They greet each other with a slight nod and...

Sexy Charmer
I'm your Sexy Charmer
I will treat you with
Kindness and Respect
I will make you
feel special
Because you are
special in your own
Unique way
Which I will support
you in anything
you want to do
While being there
for you when
you need me
So let the World
Be Heard
I will treat you with
Kindness and Respect
I will make you
feel special
Because you are
special in your own
Unique way
Which I will support
you in anything
you want to do
While being there
for you when
you need me
So let the World
Be Heard

Coal Makes Diamonds
I'm as wretched as a soul can be
Did you see the way I fall?
My heart is black as coal
and I can't see
Any reason for it all
When you went away and
took my soul
You left a different kind of pain
If this is truly what you want from me
Then slice me open once again
We were islands and I knew,
the distance between us would grow
An onyx night fell around us both
We'll blow our sirens just to show
We could be brilliant one day
Let's press through what
we have done

LOVE AND LUST
Love and Lust, they doth combine
to bid a couple entwine
in the fullest expression
of mutual possession,
In the cause of Nature's plan
of perpetuating Man,
an act of procreation
in guise of recreation.
I see the two personified
in paintings artists have defined.
Love, armed with the Cupid bow,
cheeky winged babe head to toe,
Lust a horned, bearded satyr
serving wine of passion fire.
They pick their pawns for the play
anytime of night or day,
selecting those seeming matched
to produce what is thus...

in the fullest expression
of mutual possession,
