I will light you on fire,Fired out of a cannon,Canonized as the saint of delight.The light will find you,Sitting on a chair,Keeping up the fight.Chair the meeting of minds,minding their might,With words out of a speaker.Speaker of the councilHappy Birthdaying us all with a song.Sing along with her.I bottle up my feelingsInto this bottle IContinue reading “Verbose”

I Hear Her Screams
I hear her screams. Oh so loud.They haunt my dreams. As a childI never knew her; I was too young.I never knew her, Only her bloated tongue.She died before I reached the age of nine Of an illness borne.An illness that said would soon be mine. Such was their reasoning for their scorn.Yet I didContinue reading “I Hear Her Screams”

Screen pass,Tackled at the line.I should have seen the blitz coming.She roughed the passer Before I even got to say hi.Three point line.Blocked again.No foul?C’mon ref,Can’t you see that’s an illegal screen?Why didn’t she call?

The Snows of Winter
1.Summer has said goodbye,Long gone sunshine,My eyes squint, leaves fallUntil my love awakes.2.Candy sweets, large or small,I like them big;Full size, big beauties they’re called.Dirty, messy mouth.

Our Clothes Stay On
Lips together, moans joined.Raise the volume,Let the television cover our sound.Hands move,Denim, cotton, covered delightsMy hands long to touch fleshYour hands rub between my legsPurrs of desireYou like what you feel Yet tonight skin will not touch skinLet us kiss againOnly tongues penetrateSalivate, wetness sharedAs cloth rubs against clothAs our clothes stay on A TasteContinue reading “Our Clothes Stay On”
