Gasping Stars Look Down Upon My Tired Soul


When I need to again find my own way
late midnight walks are my mainstay
There is this place I walk and roam
comfort away from worries of my home

The sidewalk ends and fields begin
I imagine they stretch and never end
Cool...

I woke up this morning
A stormy pattern of thoughts
My pillow wet from tears
Feelings of isolation
Lack of love
Family desertion
I woke up this morning
Alone with my thoughts
Leaning over as I walked
Hunchback across the room
From my heavy heart

I reached out and asked
Why do you ignore me
Am I unworthy...

Haunted by your gasps I call my own
The shimmer of your shirt climbs
On the mountains of bosom
I smell the fragrance in an instance
Buttons spill and your chest opens
The scarlet flesh of your torso
falls down your hips as I knead the yeast
To fine mold of Brach's...

Gasping fed up ness 
Next door plums of smoke engulf the air,
I can't breath, I cannot breath, I can not breath,  gasp. 
My lungs relinquish wearily to filthy, dirty, unhealthy plums of rude air. 
It's not free?  Gasp, gasp. 
Why complain? but I...

Gasping for air
Trying to breath
Please afford me my space
Before I draw my last breath
So long 
Farewell
Who loved each other most
May the victor's spoil's boast
Sadly redundant
As we turn separate way's
Numbered are our day's...

The day broke muggy and gray
  Dewdrops sizzle on gooey asphalt
    and burn holes in parched lawns  

Outdoors discriminates not between
  craftsmen's rank sweat and 
    day laborer's grime

Apartment-dwellers' tongues hang
  over their balconies, enervated

You melt my heart and other parts of my body
In fact, some of my parts are anything but floppy
You could call me tense
Rigid parts quite immense
Gasping, drooling and excessively sloppy...

They call us illegal
And I know that we are,
It’s a choice that we made 
In coming this far.

Through jungles and forests
We travelled on foot
Our hearts in our mouths,
But no choice to stay put.

Murder and rape
Sadness all round
Gasping for air 
Afraid to be drowned.

We’re willing to...

my dad is gasping…
the blonde next door sucks his breath,
                  with her fiery lips....

From the haze, I had a chanced to see,
A vision that inspired me,
A future filled with love and light,
That cleared the shadows of the night.

You breathed new life into my soul,
And made my broken spirit whole,
With a gentle touch and loving gaze,
You lit a fire,...

the velvet knife
of your tongue
cut my skin


into a thousand
streamers of want
I feathered against
the unknown 


a breath in the grasp
of insanity 


was as ribbons on
the ground,
I was tossed to roll
aimless to reality


fire licked breasts
as thighs brushed static
into the palms of your
hands … 


at first touch 
is...

You have always taken my breath away
From the very first day we met
Now once more you have me gasping for air
For I cannot breathe you have taken my love away

I have tried to inhale the air you have left
My lungs have been emptied and I...

Does Love Thrive Only In Its Soft Gasping Return


Does love thrive only in its soft gasping return
Nights that its flames reach heavenly sensual burns
Can love live in other realms sitting all alone
Wearing purple robes, sitting on its golden throne?

Can love ever be far more than...
