    Poem – “Of every Love that Holds Meaning” – Romance – 4/3/2020

    There is a face, And two steps that hold grace. Just one woman With more for her Than she knows. Lies have always gripped Her frozen and anchored heart At the bottom of a sea That holds a wilderness of reefs, Throbbing with suffering. But, upon her discovery In the life that shows newness From…

    Poem – “The Solemn Face of Death” – Romance – 4/3/2020

    As it perches itself Upon a bough made from ebony, We fall away to the moon, And learn to face the gloom In the deepest sentiment of what is soon To be seen, The bird of prey. The raven with its cloak of darkness, Feathers of blackness, Listless in its caw, And drenched in grey…

    Poem – “Your Throbbing Heart” – Romance – 4/3/2020

    If they have killed you, Due unto a disease, I will kill them. I will send them running to the Earth And escape through the ashes, Down to the corridors of Hell. I will send them chasing demons For merry love-making. Those demons Are of their own kind. The same faces, The same traces Of…

    Poem – “What do they have to Hate?” – Romance – 4/2/2020

    What of you Do they need to despise Of your holiness? Are we doomed to run Like some being of land, who is not at sea, Doomed to sail, for eternity? Love would have awoken the Kingdom, Destined to be planted Like everything else did not matter To us. Like dust in my hands, Like…

    Poem – “Take my Worship” – Romance – 4/2/2020

    Take my commands, For they are nothing To you, at the bedside Where your toes glisten from the water, And your breasts gleam from the oils, While your eyes let loose the gazes Down upon your hands. Take nothing from me. But, I will take you Into myself, With all your flesh, and all your…

    Poem – “Broken Eyes” – Romance – 4/2/2020

    You bleed the deep Oceans to cross, Oceans to travel, Waves to ride. I weave Triumph, before your eyes. I was the spectacle for you to witness Within your cries. Do not weep, But say a vow. Say what you want To the stillness, somehow Where we break against the tide, Against ourselves. Love lays…

    Poem – “Of Pain Stored on Shelves” – Romance – 4/2/2020

    How have you faltered Beneath the driving winds And sleeting rain? How have you denied What we both cried for Under the heaviest torrents And pounding waves? My eyes can only see so much Behind the tears. Just a face or an ear To gaze or to hear. My love, with your bravest voice. Come…

    Poem – “As I Hold the Sun in your Heart” – Romance – 4/2/2020

    Dance with me Through fallen rainbows And birds that chirp With nests too small For hunger too large. Will you melt over me Your form, in the sun? I will kiss and hold, Everything that molds Over us, In this deep blue Of scenery made for lovers, conjoined. Oh, it hurts to write. Oh, it…

    Poem – “Woman of Insight” – Romance – 4/2/2020

    Curse meWith your truth.I will raise the sun upon my shouldersAnd catch your flying kissesIn my webbed and lying hands. Can you fathomThe monster I have become?Full of twisted rageAnd possesses no controlOver the pain that grips. There was love to breathe,There is now deceit to seetheWithin,As I conjure up my woeful defeats,Of memories that…

    Poem – “All to See, of the Snow in your Eyes” – Romance – 4/2/2020

    Come drift with me Through the wasted fields Where flowers did bloom And then met the gloom. I am in grief, While you are in disbelief. Turn upon me, If you must, I will still hold a candle to see The fading snow in your eyes That melts off the corners And drops in smallest…

    Poem – “Every Beautiful Moment” – Romance – 4/1/2020

    Every love Upon the Earth, Is a treasure, Is for the worship Of two feet That step upon the rocks, Upon the hardened hearts, So delicate in movement. I was good to you, The man to make you smile The oceans across, And the Earth so wide. Love has two minutes More to kiss, Two…

    Poem – “All I Suffered was a Broken Heart” – Romance – 4/1/2020

    All I suffered, While you agonized, Was the syndrome to a broken heart. The flutters, The feelings, The pain, Was all there, But you were not. Though, it was all I suffered, While you terrified yourself Far worse than I. Beating hearts, Haunted minds, Were nothing for me, And everything for you. Tension and growing…
