Dusk

The entrance of the night. The beginning of the end of day, where those in the light prepare to lay, and those of the night begin to play. Usher in the darkness, the black and the gloom. Celebrate with fire red light, red, orange and purple. Say goodbye to the day. Come with me myContinue reading “Dusk”

Don’t Be Silent Tonight

Oh cum ye! Oh cum ye! Cum for me baby! Don’t be silent, scream out loud! Let the neighbors hear when I go down. Cry out to higher powers, grip the sheets When they get soaked, just let them be. Open your mouth, let me in! It doesn’t matter the time of night When weContinue reading “Don’t Be Silent Tonight”

In between the Holidays

Sitting there alone only a drink to hold your hands around. Young pup led by a bone, comes up and sniffs, looking for a home. A sad line, used too frequent, serves as invitation and irritant. “If your left leg was Thanksgiving and your right leg was Christmas could I visit you between the holidays?”Continue reading “In between the Holidays”

Coal in the Morning Light

A kiss, a flower, sweet upon my lips The morning’s fresh dew. I wake to see your sleeping face upon last night’s pillow. Your shoulder bare. I remember the night’s adventure: The screams, shudders, and crying out; the heat upon your face. I smile in memory’s glow wishing to fall once again in its embrace.Continue reading “Coal in the Morning Light”

Thank da Lawd

Thank da Lawd for dat wide ass, Fat and juicy, hot buttered biscuits Melt in your mouth. Thank da Lawd for them thick lips Kisses and puckered, Come to take me home We come together this day To say thank you for them hips Hold em, hold on, Held tight Thighs, Oh My, them thighsContinue reading “Thank da Lawd”

Ghosted

You left abruptly No goodbyes or teary eyes It’s not me, it’s you or other lies to sooth You just Poofed Gone Yet, the ghost of you remains I’m haunted by your absence. I sleep alone In a bed you only visited I see your ghost in my bed sheets Boo! An exclamation of fearContinue reading “Ghosted”

Once A Dream

I once had a dream To write it down Trickled through my fingers like tears Spilled on the page Stained droplets make no sense in the sun Though I do often wonder, where the splatter Of blood came from If you like this poem you may like my prose poem A Goth Mermaid Tale orContinue reading “Once A Dream”

FLEET

The motion was quick Here then gone She took my hand Captured in her eyes We stole through the land Fleeting as the dawn I look for her Ghost in the trees Shadow in the night I close my eyes and search She moves within me Follow me she whispers Spirit me away Take meContinue reading “FLEET”

Summer Storm

Summer rains, thunderstorms rage across our souls. Crashing through the heat and oppression, Flaming violence, a flash in the pan, Creating a respite for an instant. Drip, drop, drip, drip, drip, dropping from the sky, Falling on my ground, soak it in your wetness from above, Turn our clay into mud, mold in your handsContinue reading “Summer Storm”

Bound

BOUND Caught. Kept. Held. Bind me. Close me in. Keep me in your heart. Close your fist around me. Shut out the light. Surround me with You. CAUGHT Running from You. Running to you. Why did you chase me? Why did you catch me? Why did you not let me go? You’ve got me. AllContinue reading “Bound”
