A Kiss In The DarkDecember
knows the speech
to transcribe double-edged thoughts,
dried between cognitive spaces
of comets tattooed
with razor-sharp ink~
infused with cinnamon and clover,
emanating toxic perfume
of decadent desires~
as our love was an ice-storm~

and promises we made are
like petulant paper-dolls,
misplaced in...

Four yearsI know you are sensitive,
not sentimental,
but it has been four years,

Sonnet
Destiny, the final milestone
My sizzling heart failing around the clock
No light colliding with the dark to spark

HugsHypodermic needles
Get you medicine real fast,
Allowing drugs to enter
Into bloodstreams like a blast.
To transfer one’s affection
Like a needle-piercing drug
Can be managed very simply
Through the power of a hug.
The hug I mean is strong and close,
Enveloping...
