Reigned In Too Early
Anonymous whispers, blowing secrets, softly blown air through lips, syllables like sidelong glances down cafeteria tables, avoid directness, avoid contact, see, girls nearly women don’t speak of love in the same sentence as sex, girls in tight jeans, hair slicked certain, lips rosebud red, tight, mouths moving, practiced phrases of shared intimacies, lowly blown secrets lying between...

Confusion Reigned Supreme In My Lair
In my lair I seized life by her hair Cos I was fed up with the affair In which folks went for broke In harsh words and tones they spoke Crushing my stark reality as they awoke Feeling guilty Cos stalking me became their utility Frowning at the versatility I took in my stride As they plotted and slayed my pride When without an iota of...

The Flight of Tempest Reigned
