"Embrace"
The shadow
of the night
illuminates
the corners
of my deliberate mind
sleep comes and goes
like a phantom
waiting to rip
my insides to shreds
taunting me
tempting me
pushing me
towards the edge
of the abyss
as my heart stops
a fateful moment
if you the skies
thunder and rain
may you not shield
your eyes
from the beautiful ocean
your fucking lies have become
my sweetest decline.

Poem: "140"
"140"
You have lied
stolen my innocence
broken my heart
as the autumn leaves
fall slowly to the ground
I wake to the new day
the bed is empty
the fragrance of you
lingers on the pillow
it has been days
since you left
this room
this tiny
fragile space
has become nothing
devoid of warmth
and need
in the aftermath
of love's passing
will you still
hold me against
the wind
only to save me
from the inevitable
unraveling?

Poem: "The Dragon"
"The Dragon"
He smiles
inside the pit
of his stomach
it seethes
twisting
writhing
burning
the light of the moon
radiates against her skin
silently illuminating
her pain
the kiss lingers
as the moment
inevitable
passes
the intersection
of unbridled passion
awakens the dragon
within.

Poem: "Chaste"
"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.

Poem: "Ever After"
"Ever After"
Part I:
SHE
I have been waiting
all night
amid the rain
and the veiled tears
My insides hurt
the warmth inside
threatens to spill out
Have grown lonely
in this tiny room
with its bare walls
Your face etched
in my mind
no, my darling
I would be loathe
to forget
If I dare hold
you in my arms again
amid the roar
of desperate sirens
Would you dare choose
to love me amid the devils
and forsake eternal beauty
as angels weep?
Part II:
HE
You are
the shadow
lingering in silence
tempting me
taunting my former resolve
The sweetness
of your fragrance
betrays the cold steel
of your eyes
If I could forsake
everything I've ever known
in my brokenness
and constant shame
I would take the keys of heaven
and lay them down at your feet
I shall wait for your return
consume me
lest I fall prey
overcome by the solace
of despair and beautiful agony.
