    Bleed desireAround principle,Stain the weddingWith your gleam.Shoulder the seam of your dressWith your sparkle. You have never become feebler,Beautiful sort.Your kiss mixes with the wind,Finds gaps in the gales,Discovers tension in the hail,Where a storm is there for you to liftBack to the clouds,Back to its origin. I give this gift forwardOf gentle possession.The man…

  • Poem – “The Road most Wept” – Romance – 9/6/2020

    Can you lose the lightBefore I go onWith the womb I shelter myself in,With the hollowness I place my voice?Your tears stream a river for my defeat,Down beneath the crevices,Further down to the undertowingNature of these footsteps. I blow dark kissesThrough the ignited blue,I want to seek guidanceFrom something brand new.I shelter myselfIn a void,Forgotten…

  • Poem – “Your Breathing Kiss” – Romance – 9/6/2020

    Breathe into me,Lift me from the water,For my feet have been drowning.Your dark hair,Your ivory fleshIs all enough to feed me,Seed me,Twist meIn all comforting senses to you. You have meaning to your eyes,A gleam to your gaze.Kiss me with all the radiance of this forgotten world,Filled with flames,Smothered in guilt.Branded by deepest sorrowsThat never…

  • Poem – “She Fell from Compassion’s Peak” – Romance – 9/6/2020

    Madness neverReceives the soilTo smother its flames.Just a burning remembrance,Just a solace to ache the soothingTimes of simple yearning.Just a darkness to make misfortuneOut of something so familiarAs the sky’s embrace of winterThrough her eyes. Like two blue flamesFanned only by the sighs of grief,Unable to be extinguishedBy tears of a greater hue. Madness rolls…

  • Poem – “The Old Man with a Beaten Heart” – Romance – 9/5/2020

    Just a handLet loose from the palm,Kissed to many a rainThat had fallen from eyes meant to see stars.He watched her fade,Staring with a wandering soul,Wondering eyesSo rounded by ringsTo a beauty that remained eternally young. A world within himself,Homesick,FalteringBeneath waves that carry canes. He shall beMore crippled without her near,Still holding the blue upright,Still…

  • Poem – “He Fled to His Mother” – Poverty – 9/5/2020

    Never so muchKept in the dark,Holding upon soil, with an animalStuffed with paper,Paper disused,Misused,Meant for currency,Used for comfort. A bleeding,Rife,Opened soulTo the sounds of a distant fallingOf a woman’s voice.She sends him whispers,The child with the teddy bear,The child with a lonely stare. A spirit,A phantomClung to dirt,And from dirt, to debris. A little tearComes…

  • Poem – “Caught inside Her” – Romance – 9/5/2020

    What a mindI was born within,A final echoing momentThat I release from lips chapped by time.I release the fuel from the fire,The water from the soil,The entrances from the exits,The simplicity from the complication. I sacrifice tears,To let allowance to awesome fears,A greater shiveringTo a world that has nothing moreThan the pain where I sink…

  • Poem – “As I Kiss your Worn Heart” – Romance – 9/4/2020

    The one who claimed,The one who namedA special curtain to be placedUpon the dark of the past,Sees grains,Sees stainsStill upon the woes of a woman’s heart,Still hearing the echoesThat loosen themselves from a slender tongue,Repeating of sadness,Releasing of madness. You’ve heldFor one quarter of a centuryUpon the roses,As your eyes merely saw the red of…

  • Poem – “Held at Birth” – Religion – 9/4/2020

    Open eyes,Unfurled wings of a tiny newborn.He means to feel the warmth,To drench his mind in her vision,Her sight,Her gaze.A mother’s blessing upon the soon to beHailed as King. Bleeding woesWill beSoon to beThe stifling of a world’s silence.Can Heaven sing any louder? A tapestry unfolded,A Bible ruined,A journey so sublimeUp to the altarWhere folded…

  • Poem – “With Marble upon Her Dress” – Religion – 9/4/2020

    It is to my consignThat I must give allowanceTo the earth’s hunger.She flooded the newborns, their milk,Drawn from the sea of her flesh,White as the stains of purityOnce enveloped between her legs. A nicetyTo one single liability,That she must turn to ash,To be gatheredBy the storm with its herding winds.I have, at my backThe urge,…

  • Poem – “A Man without Remorse” – Religion – 9/4/2020

    He sees his God,Upside-down upon the cross,Disheveled,Though bandagedBy the pauper’s rags.That man,Withdrawn into the dirtBeneath his perfect feet.His remorseTakes a courseBackwards, away from what he fearsMay send him into tears. Beautiful imageOf a Saint,Whose blood flows as crimson dustDown to the same earthA man with perfect feet, sends his following.Dust,Eternal in its slopeTo no one’s…

  • Poem – “Adieu, Dear Love” – Romance – 9/4/2020

    I lean back on the shoreTo count the imprints of crutches,To trace the tracks of wheels,Marking the stage of my crippled state.Her kiss blew out my flame,Her tears fell to causeThe final stain. I loveWithout sympathy.I fly from herWith fire to my wings. There is no graceIn this brutal face of mine.There is no spaceUpon…
