    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…

    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…

    Poem – “Anoint me in your Gloom” – Romance – 4/21/2020

    Anoint me, Appoint me To see, where all has fallen Within your heart. Love has left you behind In the waves of life. Love wishes to wash leaves On the shores of your eyes For you to see What cannot leave, But only the decay can depart From your discarded heart. Pain me, Embed me…

    Poem – “Petals in the Storm” – Romance – 4/21/2020

    Your fragrance Is a dying lullaby For me to swing In arms still as solid As the boughs above. Your face, Among each trace Of your smile Holds me, still In its clasp, In my loneliness, In my sadness. I would have loved for many a while, While you clung to the scenery Of fear.…

    She sawWith open gaze, upon her clothes battered in the risingSun of a new morn,The night of her dressingUp to seeThe funeral of a man she welcomed to beHer husband, to be a widow. Love, she did.And weep, she did, too.With eyes full of wetness,And limbs full of the tremblingLike leaves in Autumn. It was…

    My knees give way For me, to be Beneath you, and hold you this ring That represents All that I have sent Up to you, In the blue, in the daylight. Your lips whisper a kind serenity Down to me, For me to see, what will come to be For us. Love is everywhere. I…

    Poem – “Laced in the Ebony Wire” – Romance – 4/21/2020

    Everywhere I travelBrings the nighttime to peakUp towards the moon, where each gleam is shown. I’d love to, but cannotEver mean to kiss youBeneath the starlit skyWith wine in hand,Upon cheeks so bland,And lips crossed upon the sand. Where will you stayWhen I have gone faraway?Little dear, you tend to play with your fears. Laced…

    Allow me what you can Offer, to me For I have not aplenty To give back. There is pain that soaks my eyes, That stings both pupil and iris. I beg of you, Allow me something to rid it. The kiss or the rope, To love or to die, To breathe or to sigh, As…

    Poem – “When Sadness Wraps Tightly” – Romance – 4/21/2020

    Let me smile Just for a while. I feel you weeping In the newest night Where the keenest fright Has washed us both of our right To feel content, within our light. Why do we cry? Why shed tears, as birds Made to float or fly As droplets glide Down to people’s cheeks That are…

    Poem – “Do not Fret” – Romance – 4/20/2020

    My beauty With eyes the curves to the Earth, Encompassing what makes the land and seas, Give yourself to me, And fret no more. You have lips to be kissed, As soft as my heart once could not be Until a specific attraction To where I place my mouth. For it is not to the…
