    Poem – “When a Woman Weeps” – Romance – 4/24/2020

    When all colors have left a heart That filled with the petals Of a different world, It is her, I see With a painted stare upon pained hands That hug her barren shoulders. I have attempted To lick away tears, so shallow as a substance Beside a dried lake. I sat at the edge, counting…

    Poem – “Holding Heaven in Stones” – Romance – 4/24/2020

    Why can I not Wrap myself in the rope that engirdles you? You are defined by the night, As I am defined by you. Each love seems to float For varied persons Towards Heaven, As it is where failings go. So the blood did boil? And, did it overflow? Did your pain raise to the…

    Poem – “Let your Thunder Down” – Romance – 4/24/2020

    Why wait until it rains? What we can feel from each other In this hailstorm of pain, Is enough for the drink. Love seems to falter in the wind, Bringing its tears in the form of falling droplets, For there are clouds as gray as lead above your head, Though I’ll trust my love to…

    A Quote of Wisdom – “Why Forced Diversity is the Mother of all Problems” – 4/24/2020

    To all we are unfamiliar with, we offer to ourselves, adaption. To all we are familiar with, we offer to those things, acceptance. By following the road of adaption, humans are bound to themselves, surrounded by unfamiliar and alien things. To diversity and beyond, we create fear, because fear is the emotion that relates to…

    Poem – “This Unborn Love” – Romance – 4/23/2020

    There is not much to call home In your arms. Like a furnace, you’ve grown bright, And have burned all to ash Around you. Like a star, you’ve shone With the lantern about your neck Swinging by a rope. Like an angel, you’ve flown Over cities and seas, vast as the universe, But no one…

    Short Excerpt from Novel – “A Dream once Loved” – Romance – 4/23/2020

    Alessio had retreated, departing from a beauty made for wandering eyes, and he is now questioning the moment. Beauty left a trail for him to follow, and he followed blindly. He followed, with eyes upon the back-end of her form, because he was unable to see anything for recognition’s sake. He dreamed of her that…

    Poem – “Lay Down your Fingers” – Romance – 4/23/2020

    Lay down the padsThat seem to undo, the petals and their dew.Release wetness, from between pillars,And release sadness, from between veinsWhere velvet flesh consumes its own bread. Lay yourself downOn this bed made of milesOf stones.Sin is but a release to the passionBetween two, in excitement.We feelWhat should not be felt,And have felt,What now we…

    Poem – “Under the Expression” – Romance – 4/23/2020

    Bleed the skies wide open To where I caught the token Of your heavenly face. It was but a tear, That did smear The shadow from your bleak and melancholy Expression In your gaze, While I am under the haze. Let tranquility be a part of me, Let the thunder strike so delicately The areas…

    Poem – “Let me Lay a Lake at your Ankles” – Romance – 4/22/2020

    Let me enthrall The washed out areas at your feet, For they plead Ever-more than you did. Your gaze has caught a thorn in my eye. When I bend down to reach, A flood spills over. There is soil needing its space to be filled, There is a plot of land necessary for a grave…

    Poem – “The Hell I Heal, Today” – Romance – 4/22/2020

    How far is your heart buried Beneath the saddest moon With the widest frown? I stilled the eclipse in your broken mind. I threw all behind The dirt beneath your feet. I stayed the shame From eroding your fame. Your sweetness Is upon the rose to your lips. I bleed with honor, Even more than…

    A Writer’s Life – “My History with Mental Illness” – 4/22/2020

    Mental illness had sprouted from me, truly speaking, at the time I fell in love with the only woman I ever loved. I created this blog to write about every feeling I had with her, before our parting. It was only due to a specific medical condition that created our parting, as that condition would…

    Poem – “Potent Love” – Romance – 4/22/2020

    Is it a toxin, Or will it clean me, Perhaps erase me Of memories to a former one? The love that I drink Was once a place to stay In arms, to be held for an eternity. My eyes have shut themselves to the light, Because I am on a road with no end. Love…
