He was cold, and, suffering bad...
She was far too hot,
A cooling breeze...
She wished that she had...
So he turned up his temp,
And her's, she turned down,
And it's more than hard to believe,
Just how fast one can...

The Visitor

I don't know what it was that woke me, just a vague feeling of movement
In the early pre-dawn darkness at the bottom of the bed.
I could just make out the curtains blowing idly round...

Pool Table Felt on the Bloodstained Mattress

A quiet giggle
It’s not my stomach growling, “feed me.”
A young girl who wouldn’t love a millionaire
A stereo left on overnight
Warmed motor that melts a plastic beer cup
Teeth brushed a...

Sometimes a song can take me back
Make my memories come alive
To a time when love was a way of life
And families struggled to survive
Sometimes I get a little mellow
When I listen to an old love...

Empty House

Weather beaten, sun-baked
Rickety, rackety siding,
Falling apart, worn of age
Tucked away midst bushes and brambles,
Rattling windows and dusty ledges
Battled the cold wintry breeze.
The sun porch protected the old frame
From harsh prairie winds and snow.
The wood...

And it hurts to think you never cared
All I asked was that you would be there
But it's easier to play the game

I gave you all of me, I'm such a fool
Cause what I want, it...

Virginia's abound with hills that roll off her shoulders
Wet rocks glisten on the edge of the lazy water 
Translucent fish arching through the cold channels 
Silver barbed hooks rusting in tree trunks
Dangling over the water,...

While sleeping in my bed one night
I sensed a hint of gloom
A shadow lurking far beneath
And reeking now of doom

I stood upon my sheets so straight
As scratching could be heard
A voice that didn’t sound like...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Tanked temps pools inky smears ere striking lights,
nightstand shelved as bed post warming invites,
facade postpones ceiling beams gold strike streaks,
soleless soul flits swarming countenance cheeks,
dance preps off-Broadway show and a bit more,
mirror laughs hushed, smiles aloud, assured score.

When through my window flew a tiny bird,
she straightway went to where she chose to roost.
I laughed because it seemed a bit absurd
her perching on my bed post! I deduced
she'd lost her way, but now...

Awoke to the buzzing of my alarm clock 
Didn't want to get up after sleeping like a rock 
Stretched my arms up over my head 
Thinking I should just stay in bed 

Got up and...

I'm not just another notch in your bed post.
So if you're looking for that type of woman
just move on down the line.

I'm the type of woman that 
needs wined and dined.
Maybe a dozen of roses...

Now, you have the right to remain hand cuffed,
With each arm on each side of the bed post,
Unable to get away from a host,
Who has already searched you in the buff.
You also have the right...

You’re the succubus at the edge of my bed
that use to call at night. I was nearly dead.
You would climb on top of my creased corpse 
and claim my soul through the fleshy pours
still letting...

I had a rendezvous with death.
He came up to my bed post one night and said
“Its time to cross over to the other side”
I shivered and cried and pleaded not now!
“It’s too soon, to you...
