Lover Number 32, or was it 38
You were a poem with bad grammar. I revised you in my mind until your hands almost made sense. You touched me like punctuation— brief, deliberate, never intending to be part of the plot. And I let you, because absence feels cleaner than false presence. Another name in the drawer. Another night I slept skinless. The body is so forgiving when you lie to it beautifully....

Premium Member If You Go Away
If you go away, and my heart breaks Weeping, for the moments We spent in the light of the morning Whispering our dreams, our hearts – memories Weeping, for the days – we colored with praise, The nights – we taught the stars to sigh, The joys, the smiles, the stirrings of insight The warmth and the healing, the beautiful feelings. If you...

Premium Member Hot Lava Lover
Rising on island, Mountain, with peaks of possibility, Valley lush and green. When my knees collapse, lightning and thunder - Call it butterflies. The palms warmed and cooled us, warned us, fooled us. Explosive, our love - Once conjoined, often drifting in the sea, Eyes leaping with fire. Hot Lava, Lover, Have we been here before? You’re smoking hot! Hearts of stone, lifting upwards, tears running, Drifting...

ember lover
Looking at her is like a grainy old romance warped in a bathroom mirror— time distorts in her footsteps. She’s always smiling, even when tears circle in her eyes. Only on certain nights will she pull off the mask and fracture in hush, splintering inward. She speaks little— perhaps the quietest soul I’ve known. Her days revolve around his breath, his smile...

Curtain Call
Curtain Call (is an audience-led call for a performer or performers to return to the stage after a performance, typically in response to applause.) The curtains open. And there I am — on this stage. Out on display. Trying to obtain your love and Grace. Makeup to highlight my face. Girdle to shape my waist. Theater with seats filled. Mommy, Daddy, family, friends, you. Sitting front and center. Still trying to...

To a future Lover
I am watching 3 inches off of the floor, The man outside waits at my door I know the screams from within the box Howl and call upon your order upon the rocks But I know you can hold your tongue 'till the end of the night And I know you can wait until I seem right. Feel your spite,...

Premium Member I kissed the night like an old lover, in memory of days long past
I kissed the night like an old lover, in memory of days long past, drinking from its shadows like a deep, unsettling crimson wine, loneliness wore a velvet cloak, silky and heavy like a forgotten dream, and I, a smile stitched with threads of melancholy, let myself be lost in the evening's decline. The moon, a silent witness, watched...
