when is love decrepit
will love be decrepit when trust is just a word thrown when we cannot win fights, an excuse rather than a gospel… or is it long before then? will love be decrepit when she is home waiting, and he is alone under neon lights, both drinking, asking, “can we ever be in the same room again?” when she cannot speak as...

In bed with you, The swallowtails, I count their dots. In bed with you, Inside this box, the splinter rue. This garden floats with spectral spots. You seem cold now; I had the hots, In bed with you. Above the fray, Where grass is green, and swans be loud. Above the fray, Clouds black and blue, the bullets spray. The kissing lips of peril,...

My dearest Silvia
Silvia, I am writing this so there is a kind of closure for us. A mending of the holes we bore in our souls. Silence has defined us far to long. Silent are the whispers that strung us along. feeling misplaced. Disappointment has found them.. I can only support the decision. No participation. I can not help by breaking our hearts. though my...

Remembering Laura
Walking South on the beach in front of Doral I heard a woman sing ... “If you put the man back in romance I’ll put the lay back in lady” Catching up to her I asked where she first heard the song She said: “It’s mine do you like it? It still needs more work I was hoping this walk would enchant or inspire” At the Fontainebleau I said: “I do very much Let me help...

I dreamed that snow fell on the hill, while far below the sea was still; it covered paths that we once knew when I was so in love with you. I saw the bridge where we would stand, lips pressed together, hand in hand, where we sought shelter from the rain when my heart smiled and felt no pain. But as I wakened...

A Soulless body
The tear doesn't ask the eye if it may drop, The wave doesn't ask the ocean when to break, The leaf doesn't ask the tree when to fall, The soul doesn't ask the body when to leave. You left me like a soulless body, wandering the world but buried within, You left me like an abandoned cave, hollow and haunted...

Premium Member Tune Of Pain
Inspired by Prince Roger Nelson's song : When Doves Cry Grey clouds hover over my wasteland, the desert languishes in the heat of craving, deprived of the tuneful rain, until you arrive with drizzling breeze. In your pulsating embrace my heart’s oasis resounds with the symphony of desire. As the pristine patina of radiant roses flushes your crimson cheeks, rhapsody...
