Tif Stevens Poem
The truth was
left lying...
Somewhere within the
duration of our comfortable
silence.
I can taste all of my
unshed tears,
as the gift of fluidity
in the language of love
and violence.
Solutions tear at me and
drag me under as
I pull away from the
foreign sense of inner purity,
and as I become lost in
contrast, and my
insights blind, I
become another of Gods
condemned and guilty.
Sentenced to a quasi-life
of perverse flirtations
with a dark, deceptive
mortal art;
who pricks me with the
sharpened end; a perpetual
threat, causing me to dance
with death as I simply
fall apart.

Tif Stevens Poem
Silk word play crosses in two and subtle mind games,
both entangle me; whetting my appetite for war.
Served as a weaponized aphrodisiac;
sharp double edge sword hors d'oeuvre.
Lured toward a subtle intoxication;
true motives ceremoniously exposed.
You trace the contours of my every word;
the renegade now juxtaposed.
We traverse to foreign places unaware;
time itself intensifies, yet slows.
Demons spill from lips to fan the flame of desire;
our spirits overflow.
