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 dust.
I’ll love with bleeding currents
That fall from evened eyes.
I am the cloud that thrives
Above your frail temples.
You will cry without me stopping you
From the passing sadness,
To pass by your happiness,
Wherever it was.
Let your thunder down,
Let your dreams creep above to my eyes.
When have I ever surrendered
To love,
When all I do is place sadness above?

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 will hold you.
In your arms, I am wrapped by twine,
And I receive splinters
And burns.
Believe in nothing,
I will,
When I see your face against the side of me
When I have turned away
From all I know to be
Something more alike reality.
Blood follows me,
But does not guide me,
As much as my shadow
In the night.
The moon overhead
Carves a path
Out of its own faceless self.
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 night, after the day ended when the sun melted into the horizon’s edge. Each tear ever swiped away for a new morn when he can dream during the day when to have a new moment to gaze. To gaze upon that woman with the pink band, for she is encompassing his mind. For in that night, when his mind is a horoscope for the future, he sees the band, wrapped around the waist, tightly and elegantly. Lovely was her gait, that he noticed to be firm in its pace. Yet, the strokes of the footsteps showed the sort of grace that can be imagined by any typical Parisian woman. Grace in every step, like the mountain, whenever it chooses to walk. Would he move her to turn glaciers to tears?
Poem – “Lay Down your Fingers” – Romance – 4/23/2020
Lay down the pads
That seem to undo, the petals and their dew.
Release wetness, from between pillars,
And release sadness, from between veins
Where velvet flesh consumes its own bread.Lay yourself down
On this bed made of miles
Of stones.
Sin is but a release to the passion
Between two, in excitement.
We feel
What should not be felt,
And have felt,
What now we can feel.Songs and sickness
Croak futile lullabies.
I am in the same boat
As you,
Yet the oars are missing.I can travel by my hands,
I can see faraway lands,
I can stand
To see you for how grand
You aim to uplift yourself,
For all I hold is a tear.All I hold are the many long years,
Weary upon the calendar
Where ink had smeared.Beauty and tyranny
Both make kisses, beneath rain,
Making love, in utmost pain.Let us revel, until we see, again
The fog that has drifted to the end.
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 remain unseen
To distrusting eyes.
Love wildly
The fire that is fueled by my desire.
We’ll be a part of the flame,
Part of the same
Expression that open us up to fame,
Stilled upon the horizon,
As if the sun never fell quick enough
To pick you up.
I breathe
Your face, into me,
While gazes surrender
To everlasting scenery.
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
Of many weary years
In secondary tears.
I was never first in line
To be left behind.
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 ever you were a virgin.
I bleed with fervor
The pain I twist inside me,
As easily as you danced to my tune.
Of cries for joy and joy for cries,
Telling tales as old as those lies
We sing about to the skies.
Without talking,
We know what the future speaks
Even before we grow weak
Once more in arms held out.
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 leaves a trail
In the snow,
In the low
Of my pouring gaze
On tracks that I leave,
Behind my idle awakened self.
Potent love is a source,
A great pain
Stinging worse than the wound.
Blood smears my arms,
Clogs my heart with clots,
Makes me face another dream
Where I won’t be awake
In the current mistake
To offer what cannot be offered
To another one, for her sake.
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
In where you share your fate
Upon a plate,
Of lies, broken up in cries
That reach for the shattered moon.
You gravitate
In the arms that encircle.
Yet, why do you enclose
Upon the stone,
Upon the coldness?
I am the one you seek.
You want to love,
Yet, your cries seek other realms
Of further disappointment.
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.
Your screams,
So hollow
And so vivid,
That I cannot perceive
Another tomorrow
By your side.
Poem – “She saw the Night Settle” – Romance – 4/21/2020
She saw
With open gaze, upon her clothes battered in the rising
Sun of a new morn,
The night of her dressing
Up to see
The funeral of a man she welcomed to be
Her husband, to be a widow.Love, she did.
And weep, she did, too.
With eyes full of wetness,
And limbs full of the trembling
Like leaves in Autumn.It was but a clash of sounds.
A gun-play in the dark
That brought some notes of music
To those children whose heads are upon the boards
Asleep in the deep alleys.Crookedness to her vision,
Painted over with blood, he was.
Her limbs full with the heaviness
Of a thousand tons of lead.
Yet, blood was upon her lips, so was sickness for her grief.Bleeding heavily
From a heart, worn with the years
She allowed to be flung from her grasp
To the soil, at her feet.
To be lifted up, in its seeds
The sight of what could not ever be.Mere sadness was her aching destiny
To be the kindness all thought her to be.To love a man, as a woman can
Made this one grand, and only grand
Enough to see where her tears stand.Nothing but the pain that lifts itself a few inches in a casket
To be buried in the soil of no one’s territory.
Poem – “Clasped at the Waist” – Romance – 4/21/2020
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 have centered it
Upon the waist needed to be carried
In a single hand.
My lips run across smooth skin,
My hands paw naked skin,
My eyes travel warm skin
To discover years worth of paradise,
Befitting me, the parasite
Who has only sucked the vessel dry
Of himself, and neither the fingers, succulent,
Nor the temples above her eyes, resplendent
Of a woman,
With two beating hearts, one of hers
And of mine.
