Poem: "The Locked Door"

"The Locked Door"

Falling into
a gasping breath
memories fade
in the gaping wound
of never

Your kiss
upon my desperate mouth
lingers like the shadows
in the misty-eyed
farewell

Of a goodbye that
should have never
been uttered
in soft, teary whispers

Gone.. gone.. gone.

Poem: "Separated"

"Separated"

Underneath the discontented sky
where feeling ends
and the silent horror builds
such a perfect child
waiting to be held

Her small frame
shaking violently
like a twisted reed
in the wind

I cannot go back
as much as I would want to
it's over now, the darkness
looming with ethereal triumph

As I lay here motionless
the blood in my veins
has run cold
as my face contorts
in a final scream
never uttered.

Poem: "She and Him"

"She and Him"

She:

I am more than just a pretty face
arms, long legs
and a vagina

You make me ache so bad
it hurts to cross my legs
dust off your lust
from the corner shelf

Oh baby, I know you will
do it, right here and now
invade my private space
with your dirty thoughts
longing to leak out

Him:

Bated breath in my chest
as the moon illuminates
your perfect nakedness
warmth against mine

The world falls away
as inhibition fades
the discourse of
passionate surrender
envelops the silence
overtaking the roaring
of the neglected tides
of ambivalent Fate.

Poem: "Goodbye"

"Goodbye"

You take
and take
with selfish hands
and harsh words

Cutting my heart out
as I bleed
slumped on the floor
body fading

All the forgotten time
is gone now
like the silent wind
rustling the leaves

As the white wolf howls
the door creaks open
and life rushes out of me

Like a lover scorned
the laughter escapes from
within as I exhale
one defiant last breath
middle finger raised

Farewell
my favorite mistake
goodbye.

Poem: "Never Fade"

"Never Fade"

The sun won't shine
quite as brightly
the music is gone
replaced by uncomfortable silence

You were a shooting star
so beautiful and vibrant
why did you have to burn
out so soon?

I'll carry your memory
with me forever
and the love you shared
will never be forgotten

I love you, dear one
Never fade away

Poem: "On The Run"

"On The Run"

She smiled as
the door closed
behind her
this was the last
time

Falling away
forgetting to breathe
my lungs take you
in
once more

Step outside
into the waiting arms
of the shadowy velvet
winking murder

Blood so hot
it races in your
expectant veins
like a underpaid
whore

Take me far
from this place
of desolation
and feverish
sweet pain

Until the lure
of your possessive embrace
ensnares me again
just for old times sake

Spread your thighs
wide
and let the ripe air
drink your wanton desire

As you throw your head back in ecstasy
let me in
watching your every moment

My inhibition is gone
always
on the run.

Poem: "Holding On"

"Holding On"

Everybody's on the run
gripping tightly at the wheel
chasing the setting of the sun
moment with you I want to steal

If you decide that it's best to leave
the darkness threatening to come in
my broken heart won't get a reprieve
being without you is the greatest sin

Holding on
but you're on the run
holding on
but you're on the run

Gone now
lost without you
but I'm still...

Holding on.
