As certain as the emptiness of time,
as hopeless as your life, as hot and cold as death,
You came to stay.

No holy water, no exorcist's demand,
can quench my thirst; my need for all you are.
You fill...

Sensuous apparition 
my lady in the dark night
this wonderful silhouette 
soft aim of adulation 
and timeless as it would seem. 
Fleeting moment of closeness 
becomes the stuff of my dreams.

misting branches long barren

Apparition
	
	
	For several years
	a photograph of my grandfather,
	my mother’s father,
	hung on my living room wall
	There’s no date on his portrait; 
	family lore says it was taken 
	shortly before he deserted his family.
	
	He was a handsome man,
	easy with women, 
	or so I’ve been told.
	In the photograph 
	he’s...

My parents often spoke of a twin
A sister who had died during birth
Strange hollowness always felt within
In teen years I doubted my self worth

Too shy to interact with my peers
On prom night I drove to Crystal Lake
Streaming down my face were lonely tears
This half of...

“What was I thinking? I lost track of time.”
Running to the seaside home before the clock is nine
The water cooling from the heat of summer
Her feet are numb from the cool temperatures that plunder
Across the waters, towards the house she glides
Beating the forceful midmorning tides

Every night
I sat up waiting
and waiting
for you to
sweep me up
from off my feet
instead you
would always
vanish away
into the shadows
from which you came from
without a trace
never leaving behind
your footprints
or a letter written to me
telling me
that you were here...

The lighting, it was over-bright,
startled my eyes in transition
Awakened in the dead of night,
the lighting, it was over-bright.
Glimpse of sword in hand, ghostly white.
     Blood spilled by vile apparition!
The lighting, it was over-bright,
startled my eyes in transition.
