I Taught The Light to Bend
Every dawn looks the same.
I chased the sun.
I pleaded with the skies.
I waited behind my watching eyes.
I needed to break the knot.
I wasn’t made for straight lines.
I taught the light to bend,
when the wind was going my way ...
Going my...

All I want#All_I_want
The ticking on my wrist,
start to show my age,
and what could have been,
some memories worth dumped by the roadside. Time is of no essence to me now.
Been pondering,
even these walls starts suffocating me.
Been counting,
with these fingers of mine,
they too can't comprehend my outstanding life expectations.
Someone ...

The Weight of IntangiblesSometimes, I feel completely alone.
No matter how much I try to reach out,
or try to connect.
Sometimes, I feel unwanted.
No matter how much love I pour out,
or try to perfect.
Sometimes, I feel misunderstood.
No matter how much I try to explain,
or try to correct.
My delivery
always seems off or lost in translation.
I’m told that...

The Efflorescence of a Half Moon LoveThe Efflorescence of a Half-Moon Love
An immutable desire to awaken and experience the night’s breath…
Where saddened petals elate at the ability to whisper open at the cusp of dawn.
I reach to orbit near you:
where carnal might kiss deity,
and the air between us smells of divine pollen.
A heavenly flower exhaling eternity
from the soft rupture of its...

In The Mouth of DesirePlump cherries sit atop twin mounds
and a sly smile hovers around her
ripe strawberry lips,
Sweat, like honey, titillatingly
rolls in rivulets down her
lithe and luscious torso to
an oasis, moist and luxuriant.
From the hilltop region down
to an enchanting sanctuary
lies a pulsating plateau,
sizzling like bacon in a frying pan,
stirring my latent passion
to a feverish...

Wilting flowersWilted flowers
Wilted flowers lie in empty fields
Days pass as flies scour,
Leaving the decomposing ideas to be eaten.
The sun flickers as each minute weans by
An empty shell of you left in bloody waters.
A quiet silence crowding the space your words claimed.
The once blooming pedals, scorned by your nectar.
Craving the burn you bring into my veins; no...

LOVE SEARCHMy love, where are you, I heard you calling out, like a ship lost in the dark.
Dark in the night, with no light, I hear you in the wind, calling out.
So sad to hear the sounds of sadness, like a little baby needing care.
Reminds me of love searching, like a job, you can...

FIREPLACE HOTHot and not lukewarm
Steamy and electrifying
All the right moves and places
Totally smooth
Angles covered
The theme would be “LOVE ON FIRE”
Here and there leading to everywhere
Passion with its own temperature set
Beyond in able
Journey into ecstasy
Propelling through the love portal
Into new heights
Acceleration with no stop
No quinch of thirst just breathless
Volume just right
Loving words even hotter
Fulfilled journey
Mission Control over...

Unrequited Love, a SoliloquyTo love someone who no longer loves you is the cruelest trick played by the world. I didn’t know you wanted me that way, I thought you only cared for my body, so I found another who seemed to want a connection. I should’ve told you then how I love you so, I wish I...

In the Mouth of Desire
In the mouth of desire
your words drip fire,
enticing me to the pyre
of a singular quagmire
where you are the supplier
of this drug called love.

In The Mouth of Desire
The summer heat was turned up to blasting with a huge yellow sun looking down. Our sweat had sweat. If only there was a breeze to pass over us. In the mouth of desire sits July. A young couple is about to be wed. The groom all decked out in his black suit. The bride...
