Poem: "Into The Black"

"Into The Black"

Lost in fervent dreams
comes darkest night
when the wind howls
as she lies in bed

the huntress seethes
sleep evades her
elusive, it laughs
denying her
peace

she gets up
and goes to the window
and gazes at the coming storm
as the thunder rumbles
and the heavens
unleash their fury

she smiles
the princess of the darkness
and ventures into
the unknown jungle
of which there
is much pain and pleasure
to be had

her long black hair
drapes her beautiful face
her pale skin
illuminated by the moonlight

her heart
seeks the warmth
of her lover
now gone away

she has witnessed the wrath
of hell's damned
the mere thought of him
the object of her affection
and untamed desire

her beloved
lying uncovered on the bed
warms her cold heart
as she turns and heads for home

she whispers
I am the beautiful face
of night's demise

as she goes in search
for her beloved
something inside her stirs
as she smiles

the corners
of her aching mouth
dripping with her lover's blood.

Poem: "Need"

"Need"

In comes the night
such an unruly mistress
the day has passed away
its splendid fire
gone

outside, the sky
patches of blue
peek out
amid the gloom

I wake up
the slow pitter-patter
of the rain as it falls
to the parched earth

you lay next to me
your arms on my bare chest
you look up at me
and smile knowingly

we kiss
your lips taste
ever so sweet, darling
your hands touch
all over my body

I hold you close
the silence lingers
amid the whispers
of temptation

our bodies intertwine
in long moments
dripping, aching
sensual longing

in the aftermath
of the deluge
where passion and lust
collide desperately

love lies at the feet
of beautiful need.

Poem: "The Garden"

"The Garden"

the dawn breaks
with its shimmering light
she walks alone
lost in the splendor
of those forbidden things

her little ones, she says
it has been ages
since she has known
the warmth that
unbridled passion
is known to bestow
her lonely soul

the emptiness
with its subtle musings
calls out to her
in her most vulnerable
of moments

it has been ages
since she has seen him
she lays on the cold bed
wishing for her beloved's return

the morning of her undoing
she was in the garden
when she saw him standing there
a lark on his shoulder

her heart skipped a beat
as she rushed to meet
her lover's embrace

lost in the rapture
of that smoldering kiss
were the words she whispered:

"how I've missed you, my love
never again shall I let you go."

Poem: "Crown of Thorns"

"Crown of Thorns"

The man from Nazareth
born of Mary
but not of man

Calmed the storm
near Lake Galilee
cast out demons
and healed the sick

Fed the 5,000
on the mount
with a couple loaves
and fish

Peter
the rock
denied Him
three times

John
the beloved
followed Him
to the end

Judas
the betrayer
dipped his hand
in the same bowl
and sealed His fate
with a kiss

Son and carpenter
healer and prophet
Messiah
Lamb of God

If the day on Calvary comes to pass
and the faithful are shaken
let them find strength in His agony
and comfort in His last breath

Christ
the Lord
break the chains
of bondage

From the crown of thorns
that wound my forsaken heart
as temptation seethes within
strike down the Tempter

With the power
of thine mighty arm
and flaming sword.

Poem: "Vox"

"Vox"

the leeches and the damned
are coming out of
the woodwork
tonight

as you lie in bed
sleep evades you
as fickle as
the wind

the window is open
as the cool air
forces you awake

the moonlight
illuminates your face
look up to the sky

as the star streaks
in the quiet expanse of sky
as you reach for me

I am no more

and you are left
in a fetal position
on the floor

as a feeble scream
barely escapes
from the depths
within

never heard

this former beauty
and its stirring drama
as the phone rings

the last words you hear:

"it's fucking gone."

Poem: "You Can Call Me Anytime"

"You Can Call Me Anytime"

Take my hands
walk the funeral in the rain
make no unfortune demands
lest you end up like the insane

Knock, knock
what's that you're saying
my soul's at ease
I've never worn a purple frock
don't know the con you're playing
watch out don't catch a sexually transmitted disease

Kiss me once in red
the world is open wide
time for school
someone just died
She's no one's fool

The dawn is breaking
life is in bloom
cast your vote
your faith, you are forsaking
chase the gloom
on the last note.
