the glimmer
is lost from skies
and eyes
this dampened ground
can’t hold anymore tears
than my pillow can
i am lost
somewhere
in the fogginess
of another somber rise
grounded hope
dissipating
in uncertainty
as I stand alone
in this rain
watching streams
flow down lonely streets
where shadows once fell
cracks hidden within
like society these days
(Bus scribble)

A dampened morning calls my name
as clouds engulf the sky
Stepping in between the rain
I watch the day go by
Puddles catch reflections as a
chilly wind does chase
Shivers wrap me tightly in
this winter’s cold embrace
Yet still I’m feeling warm inside
as this new day does start
For love is like a summer sun
aglow within my heart
So as I wander on my way
no matter what the view
I’ll pay no mind, this dreary day
and only think of you

Dampened Dreams
Beauty wrapped in sadness
Hot tears fresh taste
Cooling pools of despair’s
Harsh salted lie
Blur the vision of love
No longer chaste
In dim streetlights envy
Faded dreams dry!

I am the sultry silence
the wishbone
of your dreams
feel my warm breath
slither down your throat
across your chest
feel my transparent tongue...
We rage the erotic battle
I feel your pulse race
my fingers of flame
caress all that is yours
I am your imagination
arching above your feminine form
I sink slowly into you...
Just so you know my love
you will never be able
to shake me from your dreams
I will seduce you to a place
beyond mere thoughts and words
tonight, dream of us...

White fluffy clouds suspended
By elaborate knotted
Hammock, soft luxurious
To touch, clouds dampen light threads
