I scrubbed the shame from under my fingernails, as if guilt could be washed like dirt. Cold showers never baptized the ache; just gave it discipline, a neat little collar for the beast inside. They called me godly. I stood on pulpits of silence, hiding my hard truths in folded hands and stitched lips. “Virtue,” I said once, like it was a sword I...

Just smiling, shining & indivisible, All at the broader punch! Alone approached the dependable, Before-head a worst crunch. My heart heading innocent, Gave-up myself, my soul. Wasn’t sure of the pretend, To her, just in a joule! She went, her shadows too, Broke my heart in a bitter truth. Cracked the confidence inside a blow, I am at North, she’s at South! You certainly would have, What I...

A Room Full of Unwritten Poems A room— Quite not real though, Not built of woods or bricks, Structured with the unfinished and unwritten verses, Smeared by weathering paint, More like an echo left without the speaker.

A mother's love is so deep and real, it never shall fades, She holds her child day and night, no matter what may happen there.

My love for him will never fade, In silent hope, my heart has stayed. He spoke of love, yet couldn’t see The aching storm that lived in me. I cried alone through endless night, While he slept soundly, lost in light. What kind of love just walks away— While one is torn, the other stays?...

Dearest Ann , today the world completes a soft, golden circle 'round the sun, and in that warmth, your name repeats as if the stars know what you have done: Loved me through the fires, Kissed me through storms, Held me when I broke and rebuilt me to what I am. Ten years, my love, and still I...

You had me for a year, I believed it all was true. Every moment, every action, how could it not be? Like a serpentine snake, you slithered inside my mind, my body, squeezing out all my trust, all I believed in you. You made me lower my guards. I believed. I wished I didn’t. You showered me with love, a cascade, a toxic waterfall, drowning me in a...

Serried spirits walk on the wind Paratrooper raindrops collecting courage before descent Drunk off your paints, tasting life in your landscape Heart ablaze, my fantasies have been conquered Village pillaged by an army of one, glimmer of my eye tucked in by evening sun Assigned to your omphalos, war drums curvet At your touch, I evaporate into song Polyphonic acme ...

He is like red fire I am like blue ice Hopeless is desire Opposites we fight We create gray steam As if love is a dream Merging as if esteem Creates king and queen What of the future then Aftermath of our blend Saintly or of sun Dainty or masculine Perhaps our seed will grow Flower like art of gold Powered by heart and soul With...
