"Chaste"
I don't believe God
she says, smiling
Eve got a bad break
she tells herself
as she gets up
and puts her makeup on
a shade of pale red lipstick
cocktail dress that hugs her curves
and her dark hair is down
falling softly past her shoulders
she smiles
as she looks in the mirror
admiring the woman
she has become
the door bell rings
she feels butterflies
in her stomach
and the warmth of
her anticipation
intoxicating
as she opens the door
and gazes upon her beloved's face
she is taken
in the silence
of beautiful places
a secret common ground
where the fire
still burns
ever brightly still.

Poem: "A Lover's Prayer"
"A Lover's Prayer"
I was home
the night it happened
sitting on the couch
waiting in the dark
you came in
with another man
went up the stairs
leading him by the hand
The empty pit in my stomach
burned with regret and anger
causing me to clench my fists
and grit my teeth
How could you?
I did not sleep that night
somewhere inside
I could feel my heart shatter
I went up the stairs
to get my things the next day
and caught you with him
in bed
On the ride home
you fell asleep next to me
like a fool, I put my arms
around you
Outside, I saw crows fly overhead
May God grant them a better
Fate than
what karma has coming for you.

Poem: "The Killer"
"The Killer"
When the dust has settled
and the screams of agony
has subsided
the moonlight shining
He reaches out
and opens the trunk
gazing at her
lifeless body
How she adored him
with his ocean blue eyes
and disarming smile
The woman now gone
burned brightly
like a dying star
streaking across the sky
Her face
now bruised
her body
now battered
As he draws his gun
still smoking
putting the barrel
to his head
He shuts his eyes
and allows a smile
to creep along the corners
of his mouth
Dropping to his knees
he pulls the triggers
and waits for
death's embrace
Like an impatient lover
he swoons in brutal reply.
