everything about this song is red, your wallet is brown, the brown a burgundy and the burgundy’s chalice has gold to dazzle rubies, carnelian, sard precious, semi-precious, the same- all the same, feel the same when you hold the cup to livid lips and send them on their merry way bumping into the ugly ridges of a throat lodged with stingy agate, oh but you know that and...

Why I Write He asks why I write And I say I must Because the words, you see Flow as easy as blood in my veins The pen as natural as the air I breathe Without it, I explain The maze of my mind couldn't handle it He asks how I write And I say that my method cannot be taught For my...

I love you Sounds like candy When it rolls off your tongue So sweet It's bound to fill my mouth With cavities I imagine you talking to me I go word by word Visualizing the eye contact Dreaming of the way Your voice sounds I listen to your audio messages Basking in the bliss Smiling like the first time I heard them Euphoric in the way I can hear your...

Machine gun heart riddled with shades of grey. A mind once sharpened by your own forked tongue. Lovers' lips part with rumbles of a cannon. Dew licked satin sheets - the highway to carnal desire. Silhouettes of freshly washed skin dance in the night. Passion rising like the souls of the departed. Where do you sleep after your thirst is quenched? Where...

Poetry A whisper to a scribble The pen scratches against the blank page an odd and rhythmical pattern Imprinted into one's soul Leaving an odd sense of peace or turmoil Lingering with a yearn A yearn for something unattainable Something supernatural Words standing tall Reaching and stretching- searching Desperately trying to Obtain the unobtainable Failing time and time again Only leaving an echo of the words spoken Or the emptiness...

You are my woman I want to love you like you never been loved before With depth that reaches beyond the shallow shore Into the vast ocean where hearts truly soar I'll cherish your strength, your fire, your grace Not as possession but as gift beyond measure In your complexities I find endless treasure A universe to explore at our own pace When...

Why can't you just help me In my time of need You would always go to her And give her a hand Many A time I cried much too often The thoughts of you Too painful to bear But He is so kind to me His smile reaching the depths of my heart Unlike you could I smile back now. My laughter bubbles up as He guides me...

Sitting on the lip of my bathtub, hunched over the edge, dripping and draped in terry cloth I cry out, "Oh God". I pray. More sincerely than I have since I lost my faith. I am certain someone is listening. I am certain of this because I need...

Yo Yo mommy, the night's alive, With music and laughter, we thrive, Hey mommy, get down, let’s dance, In the rhythm of the moment, take a chance. With lights that twinkle, a vibrant glow, In a world of colors, let our spirits flow, Yo Yo mommy, don’t hold back, Feel the pulse of love, let’s keep on track. The beat beckons us, so...

Sometimes living feels like a chore One I don't want to do But there are reasons For which I persist. When my dog wags her tail when I say her name To get to see my nephew grow old Long walks in the woods with the people I love Seeing people smile New music Old music Conversations about nothing with people I've never met And will never...

Elude me, sleep, like a scorned lover who leaves me breathless, chest tight, gripped with vines. Leave me, sleep, alone in the void, not one sense available as I hang, immobile in purgatory. Call me, sleep, vibrant siren in an inky sea, I fall to your whim, oblivious, into your arms. ...

We always ask for more- More money, more food More time. The world's clock Spinning ever too quickly. But time heals- The heart especially Is mended only as such. So while everyone wants this clock To slow down I wish it would hurry up And get to healing. ...

Party all night Or talk all day Is that all to friendship The friendships of today Or is it a warm embrace On a cold winter day Even when the voice rings far From continents away Dear friend, thanks a lot For conversations that never end For they extend across the expanse of time And travel through the fabric of space Dear friend, thanks a lot For being...

you held my breath in a silent string, while you kept shut your heart from me; away, away and away from me— I pushed me out yet you wait for me, your marbled love like you were Galatea and I'd just carved you. A warmth I thought I felt, but it's cold and clear as glass, yet you crumble me— you pulled my heart in a golden yarn of string and I couldn't run...
