Premium Member 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 ...

You
#You You said I was childish, never serious , took things simple but what you left out was why I carried myself as such. Truth be told, thats what I resorted to after my aftermath of my being serious, being honest, giving my all Maybe I have suffered so much pain that I chose not be...

The Weight of Intangibles
Sometimes, 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 Love
The 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 Desire
Plump 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 flowers
Wilted 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 SEARCH
My 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...

Unrequited Love, a Soliloquy
To 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...

Premium Member 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...
