A Map of Quiet FiresHer skin drinks light like rivers take rain,
each dappled edge and sun-struck curve,
a landscape under my hands, soft yet severe,
where desire meets the edge of breath.
Fingers trace the small hollows of her hip,
catching sunlight in each soft valley,
dipping, trembling, as if they might slip
into some dark, endless tenderness.
She is a map of quiet fires,
a fever...

The weight at the stationTo carry more than I’ve shown,
things I never told about,
I still somehow carry the cost
of your long forgotten chaos.
I stood strong with a heavy heart.
I stayed brave because I ought to.
There were things I never said,
to protect what little of me was left,
waiting quietly, your arrival.
You never saw me before the silence.
That sound still haunts...

MOVE ONMy loves we must move on, forward through all the thorns.
Lets work on us, and become strong, and reach for the long dreams we have.
Yes we can, reach for the stars, and live in happiness and bliss forever.
Be clever like a lever, with all your dream in hand, run forward with the...

SILENT LOVELove lives in silence, it makes us feel all the words inside us.
Words are like swords, they brew in silence, lifting us to a place that can make us feel heard.
Silence is a blessing at times; it clears the mind making us feel kind and helps us unwind.
In silence we can think of...

In the MorningWhen I wake up in the morning
I continue to lie down
Over there a rain keeps falling
Sounds of cars hiss all around
Through the curtains morning’s better
Motionless I watch its glow
Rainy morning comes like letter
With no content worth to show
Morning headlines make me sad
Instant coffee turns me on
Off I go for wine and...

WorryI’ve found that it’s not so inconvenient
To live with eyes closed from time to time
Towards my troubles I'm becoming lenient
In the appalling news I cannot change a line
So it does seem to me counterproductive
If I’d worry if we're cheaply bought and sold
If I sought a remark that eases the distructive
Troubles they send to share...

The Petals Hurt TooEach petal cuts me in my sleep—
you call it soft,
but I bleed every time I touch it.
The mirror doesn’t cry with me anymore.
Only the fog stays.
It hums like a swallowed scream.

Still, I Rise in Colorfor the ones losing hair, light, and hope—this is you.
They said I was nothing special.
Just a crawling thing,
skin too thin,
eyes too tired,
body too slow to ever matter.
I heard them whisper.
“He looks worse every day.”
“She’s losing her hair now.”
“Poor thing.”
And worse—
the pity in their voices
cut more than the words.
I wanted to hide.
Wanted to leave this skin,
this...

My Gift To You
At calm dawn I gave you my sunburst day,

for love drizzled colors new
while in your silk sky I flew.

LostMy heart is lost in depth of woes,
While sorrows echo loud.
As tears descend with silent throes~
Beneath a veil of cloud.
In the dark I grope for my lost heart,
But it's slipped beyond my firm grip.
Each tear I shed softens its grave,
And deeper it sinks, out of reach.
My misery drums a hollow grief,
No hope of joy or...

The Reverie Was LostIn youth, loves kindles, ignites flames bold
While two hearts dance beneath a cloudless sky
With soft gentle hands, in a "whimsy" he did mold
Two young bodies close in his last good-bye
In my "imagination, I can feel
And "dream" in "reverie" of our lost youth
Now at times, I cry about the raw deal
The fervent winds of...
