• Poem – “The Lifted Veil” – Romance – 2/24/2020

    Above your brightest shoulders,A certain face resides,With images, porcelain upon ruby stripes,Your dashing image, combined with the lightOf where I place a solemn kiss. One marriage,Among many vowsLets me take your finger, and the ring I placeUpon your hand, makes meGo through, to the bitter end. I lift thee, above me,As my strength conjoins, with…

  • “Your Sweetest Flavor” – Poem

    Like two petals, crossing over The other. Like one flavor, the sweetest in my mouth, Better than the flavor of sugarcane, For your eyes have the entire world within view. Your eyes, and your cries, Have my universe to behold. Love takes form, And will take form, Upon what nectar, what sweetness You drop from…

  • “Two Areas to Kiss” – Poem

    I have come to stay with your tired form, And land softness To each enveloping turmoil That has reached your ears, Your mouth, And your eyes. Two areas to kiss, One of each lip. I will love, for eternity to come, And kiss, as though each lip were a rose petal Mounted upon a sculpture.…

  • Poem – “A Celebration of Love and Drunkenness” – Romance – 2/24/2020

    A celebrationOn the intoxication, upon scents of skin,And the fewest droplets that hang offYour scarlet tresses, in the dimming light upon thisBrooding evening. I bring kisses to you,In your saddened and weakened sight.A complexion, worn aboutWith nakedness to every scar,And a heart, turned into a star. Your frigidness,And my warmth,Collide.Like love, the sun, wrestles with…

  • “The Pressure on my Skin” – Poem

    I compete Pain to pain, that is the worst form of shame. Pain to pain, in competition Creates the division. Division of flesh, for everyone’s consumption. How do they want it? Under-cooked. They want the blood, They want the marrow, They want everything still wet and raw. Division of flesh, Division of organs, Division of…

  • Excerpt – “A Dream once Loved” – Romance Novel – 2/24/2020

    Alessio recalls a woman, a time when guilt was not a thing to be considered, when intimacy struck a chord in both minds, both hearts. He lifted a hand to be placed on her thigh, and then pawed a soft stroke across it. Like a sailor waiting for a wind, alike a gentle sigh, to…

  • Chapter II – Rewrite – “A Dream once Loved” – Romance Novel – 2/22/2020

    Love is the element, the emotion, that relieves the oppressed mind from fear. True love, for true oppression, is the relief. For what is meant by “true”, is to never compare such things to the word “illusion”. For Alessio, nothing is realer than the feeling, itself. Something is lost to him, meaning that something is…

  • “Love has Insight, Love has Awareness” – Poem

    Love has silence, Love has room To dance its romance, upon floors made of marble Or granite. Love blows tides Across oceans wide. Love feels heavy Atop lightest clouds. Love rains the drops Where one stops And drinks each joyous tear That one will hear Land at their feet To set them to sleep. Love…

  • “What a Bereavement in this Empty Place” – Poem

    What a world, to find ourselves locked within. A mutual discovery of the same darkness We both breathe. For there are only tears in our mouths For us to eat. Puddles gather between our toes, Weights hang off each strand atop our aching heads, And we lean forward To receive cold comfort, cold solace, From…

  • Poem – “A Drawbridge to You” – Romance – 2/22/2020

    A whirlwind is ahead, and overheadMy head, where dancing planets move onTo the great expanse.All is a lost essence, in this great expanse.I’ll cast a drawbridge to you.I’ll lift whatever stones,Causing you not to be free. Whatever causes the stones to rainFrom your delicate eyesBeneath moon and starlight.They land, such stonesTo the lakes at your…

  • “Your Love among the Cruel Emptiness” – Poem

    I have tasted a sight. I have tasted the current of blight Running from your empty mouth. Where once spilled sighs, Where once spilled the sounds from Joyful cries, I must now whisper a tired goodbye, A farewell to nothing but a lie, An unchanging disease In a changing form. It kills, And you would…
