married life
God isn't who you all think he is
or at least he's not like I thought
I'm having issues with my man
I ask God to help and he brings this harlot
practically on a plate
I ask God why he would do that to me
he said I don't understand how a man is made
he says he loves you and I should look the other way
I cheated on my husband once
and God threw the guilt at me
I said why is it okay for him?
he says do you want me to get him over his cheating
I said no I just wanted him to stop but my father said he won't
it's free...

Ashes
You’ll find my ashes suffocated there,
under the rug, where you swept
everything, leaving dusty truths
hidden beneath.
I’ll always sense those ashes, lingering
in the darkness, lost in hallucinations,
while you dismiss yourself,
indifferent to the mess I'm left to clean.
under the rug, where you swept
everything, leaving dusty truths
hidden beneath.
I’ll always sense those ashes, lingering

Conceal the Reveal
How then shall I then feel
when I conceal the reveal
let these words now let go
unveiling all I dare not show
Here with an abundance of ink
I allow my melancholy to sink
deep into the blank page
once more setting this stage
For these actors of the heart
to dare begin another start
a chance to raise the curtain
on this doubt which I am certain
Big truths hidden by little lies
offer the sweetest of alibis
within the realm of rhyme
when papering over every crime
...

From Your Lips To My Ear
Speak to me
of your secrets,
those times you got so high
on the perversions
of a private moment,
stiffen me
with every little detail
saturate yourself in the memory
and let the confession
be the catalyst
for our own exploration
I'm listening!

This Reflecting Mask
So many answers for me
in this reflection I now see
what it then does say
about all that it just may
Keeping my identity hidden
along with secrets forbidden
kept here in shadow
for only a few to then know
While I hide here inside
safe from everything denied
safe from all I do disclose
within the realm of simple prose
Rebreaking broken hearts
by throwing lots of darts
at this carnival mirror on...

hidden tomes
drawing breath from a sigh
gentleness please release the still-life charcoal you dance to
quietly expressing your need
whispers turned inward is your expression
creating honest landscapes of grief
your sorrow the sunshine your sunflowers sing to
tiny lilting faith will you face the day in honest approval of yourself
an injured ego and shattered child
broken splinters your expression that failed to talk
in the dark of the shade, I catch you in a glimpse

Secret Bromance
It's a secret
Yet everyone can see it
By the way he looks at you
The way his eyes
Linger on your face
First the eyes
Then the lips
The intense stare
He only gives you
No one was supposed
To see that moment
But the desire was too strong
And he couldn't hold back
Pinned you up against the wall
Pressed his body
Against yours
But people were watching
And this was not for show
He thinks no one
Sees the way he winks at you
Everytime you pass by
Or the way ...

The Softer Side
I am truly an acquired taste
never been one to ever waste
any moment to fully exploit
with the guise of being adroit
Wearing all this bold erudition
just so I can avoid suspicion
of having a romantic heart
so I can quit before I even start
Pretending to be hard as nails
telling these civil wartime tales
where I only wound myself
all these medals on the shelf
For I have been smacked around
have gotten used to the sound
of lonely sobs in the night
draw just enough blood to write
...

Too Revealing
It is only true of the clothes I wear
but not these secrets I take care
never to ever then reveal
these lying truths they conceal
While I sport this slinky singlet
making it impossible to forget
the entrance I now make
not all of these vows I forsake
Meanwhile behind these eyes
I drown in held back cries
from a heart broken once again
yet no confession from my pen
But interested in what you will say
curious about the games you will play
whether or not you...

Oh, star – brightest star –
Oh, star – brightest star –
That's first in the sky –
I don't need advice;
I just need an ear.
Nobody else must know
But I feel terrible.
You seem quite capable
Of fighting evil's blow.
Shine for my heart –
Let your fire burn my strife
With resilience tonight;
Shine on with luster.
The sight of you is crisp –
Your wisdom is your silence;
I lay this up to heaven
And trust it upon your lips.
That's first in the sky –
I don't need advice;
I just need an ear.

With resilience tonight;
Shine on with luster.

Your wisdom is your silence;

And trust it upon your lips.

Fingerprints in Ink
I always leave a trace of the crime
for all to see within my rhyme
within these words that I write
left here for you all in plain sight
Not a single secret denied
every though I have tried
to stay hidden behind the page
preferring to be a cloistered sage
But still with blood on my hands
given that I am one who understands
all these plans that I have made
forever sharpening this blade
Yet this is what life then brings
when the final bell finally rings
with nothing now to lose
I have everything now to...

Broken Secrets
How then to truly repair
something made with such care
only to have to live with regrets
from all these broken secrets
With promises finally made
hidden dark in the shade
always kept out of sight
until the curtain fall of night
When whispers down the hall
are just omens of the fall
each one its own warning
just a twilight before morning
For such are these truths kept
behind blue eyes that never wept
forging them into careful alibis
in order to camouflage the lies
Until the...
