The fool
The fool (p) Should i just give up and call it a day? letting the ballon of hope, float up and away; gone forever,never to be found, it disappears without a sound. I slept an hour,woke up dead "Tired of the world" i said. nowhere left to run and hide, … the fire has burned…
how wonderful the one
How inexplicable the thought that someone chose you, a speck in earth’s endless throng, to be their very favourite thing, the being they would die to be with over and over every other; How curious the cravings of another for your closeness, though you possess lumps of flesh of unremarkable topogr...
the fifth chamber
I split your atom with my undivided attention, every knot caressed and pressed, the distress of every stress undressed until you wear a bare happiness of unbearable beauty, and it suits you. Do not be afraid. Let the energy racing from its blast trace its path, damage from the aftermath be damned...
reservoir
I long sipped love from many cups, no drop left to drip or evaporate, just accumulate in me, bore water stored someplace dormant, unknown; Now it boils, steams through my pores at the sight of you, threatens to pour all over us at the slightest touch — a love so pure it burns.
Saudade
It's been years on now, and really I cannot quite remember the exact moment when. The years and months have passed and somehow the description of a crippled girl residing in a cottage filled with drying herbs and flowers led me back unto you. And at the time I remember feeling a hint of sorrow,...
life force
You did not start my heartbeat, sweetheart. You did not give me life in any cold biological sense, as a mother does her child, but still you’ve somehow kept it running, stopped it stalling, stalled its stopping, I’m sure of it. You do not fill my bare lungs with air, honey. You do not draw…
Poetry from heaven.
I want to write a poem about self awareness. I want to say something real about life, but nothing makes sense. I love God, but I am not a Christian. I've literally studied everything from Islam to fricken Scientology! All I know is this there's something out there. I'm atheist, I've been since 20...
Why Have You Come Here
Years past, I awoke cold and wild in the all consuming darkness of my bed and my room and night. And ocean of waves that swept over me with the vision of a young woman I'd known walking away, reflecting below and being lifted away by a multitude of hands. We touched one another's hair,…
When Nothing Else Will Work
Whatever it may have been that I had done wrong, whenever it was, to this day it remains unknown. I've searched my mind, our past, for nothing. Or very little in the face of the change that came. There was a single seat, amongst a throng of people, bustling about us. I can be nothing…
staying the inevitable doubt
I see light yonder in your eyes aglow like all desire and wonder if it reflects straight from a fire deep within your heart or from the glow of my own, begging questions to be asked of you, but I answer in your place and as I tend this task alone I brace against my…
