Her Courage

To hold her head up high While the arrows and slings Gather at her feet Tales of battles raged Insults and vitriol lay like branches Kindling for fires of hate She stands in the midst of flames Courage her shield Honor her armor As she dies a little inside Just by trying to live

Behind Closed Walls

Something drops away A tear, a tear, a rip of fabric unsewn Leaving me open, vulnerable, alone I shy away, withdraw Into myself, my shell, my home A castle, bridge drawn up, Moat filled, arrows drawn Stop! Or I’ll shoot! Stop! Or I’ll cry! Stop! Or we’ll die All together, all apart, all the thingsContinue reading “Behind Closed Walls”

Falls Start

The heat slows As rain drips down Pooling between your legs The sun on the horizon As evening rises And the cool sets in Our frantic dash And mad embrace Is over as we lay A crisp note in the air See the chill within your eyes My lips remain closed as do my eyesContinue reading “Falls Start”

Don’t Look for Me

Don’t look for me Where you found me last I was there You were not Look for me Where you wish to be There I will stand Waiting for you to arrive

2000 Followers / Desert Flower

2000 Followers / Desert Flower The Dahlia, open blooming Far from Africa’s dusty plains. Bawdy songs float through the day’s rain. Sphallolalia – wink and cry. Pancakes, breakfast in bed, sorry. Apology not accepted. Circumlocution keeps us bound, A big toe in a direct stream. Incandescently glowing love, Shadows blind our eyes to flaws seen.Continue reading “2000 Followers / Desert Flower”

We Satisfy One Another

Meeting together Night after night. Bodies together Melding of minds. Your breath hot. Tongues twirl. Swirling, sucking, Meeting together. Kisses turn naked, Skin against skin. Where you stop Is where I begin. Touching, tasting, Pleasures delight. Reaching between us Kisses turn naked. Bodies slam, Staccato jam. Echoes of our meeting Fill our bedroom. Moans andContinue reading “We Satisfy One Another”

Reopening

They’re almost there Zombies trapped inside They’re at the door Looking to go outside Will they create chaos Or will they wear their masks? Safe from their spittle filled bites Creatures of the night Longing to play in the day Who will get their way? Almost time … again.

Truth be Told

I want to taste her Her essence on my lips Her scent on my hips Moaning in her mouth Telling her lies As I rub against her thighs Truth to be revealed Take out my truth Take it inside And come to the light

Your Waiter

Food and wine flow,Along with wordsTeasing out smiles and laughs It feels good to laughMy cries have too often filled my nights.Here with my girlsI believe it will turn out alright. No more in dark caves,Will I hide;Spelunking for joy,Diamonds of happiness to mine. The night roars on,Loud and rambunctious,Or is that just us?My waiter,That’sContinue reading “Your Waiter”
