Each Stroke

Giving birth to new feelings,
  life to the unborn

Eternity swaddled,
  cradled and warm

A labored delivery,
  nibbed forceps demand

Prying out a new meaning
   —each stroke of the hand

Each Stroke of the Hand

Giving birth to new feelings,
  life to the unborn

Eternity now swaddled,
  cradled and warm

A labored delivery,
  nibbed forceps demand

Prying out a new meaning,
  each stroke of the hand

Premium Member Yearning Lips

     Hearts designed to beat together
         torn asunder, grope and stumble
     Seminal streaks of lightning flash
         thunderbolts rend and rumble  

     Lips yearning, pried apart
        demonic forceps ice-cold-sterile
      Amnesia, sweet sleep imparts
        Love’s embrace, for aye imperiled

Loneliest Existence

With the sun in the forceps 
Of an ageless night, 
The bells at the lighthouse toll 
Until they are merely sterile 
Breaths.  
Occasionally, a ghostly whisper 
Validates and dissects 
Each tear, each truth. 
I can't imagine their loneliness- 
watching light burn 
Until it is as small as a flea, 
While we endure engulfed 
In light, 
Principals of refuge 
And shadow.
