Alive
Standing on a jagged rock Nothing but the cerulean depths of ocean Foamy waves combating around you Do you feel alone? Standing on a towering precipice Just beneath the ceiling of sky Far above reality with stars your sole companions Do you feel insignificant? Standing in a cobbled street Forever jostled by frenzied bodies Not a breath of freedom between you and the next Do you feel cloned?...
Ecstacy
Gentle whimpers fill the air You know just how to feel Soft moans when you touch me there Let me know this is real Sounds escape from deep inside Accidental, but true From your hands, I cannot hide From your sweet kiss, I knew Harder, faster, deeper, now Right there, right there, and I scream I will never ask how Your touch lost me in this dream Climbing quickly, it’s close My eyes are...
Death's Rainbow
Blushed in a grey that blots out the sun Some filters skyward, clouding my eyes Blinded by a white that impairs my vision Bursts of noise erupt, confusing my senses Bathed in a red that flows as a warm river Numbed sensations dissipate, relaxing my nerves Heated in an orange that grows as it feeds Roars of energy, smoldering my screams Deprived by a yellow that drinks of life Less tells lies,...
Atonement
Look into a flower’s petal Drink the honey from within Tastes so sweet, but turn to metal Let destruction of mind begin Gaze into a muse’s urges Melt in her softened voice sincere Sounds so pure, but lie emerges Sink too low, your thoughts disappear Stare into a water’s abyss Lean toward the freedom vast unknown Feels so free, but lost is bliss Wash away the sins for which you...
wards
Kiss a flower And turn it pink Pass an hour And hear a wink Catch a butterfly And let it go Soaring to the sky And through the snow Lift up a door Into the ground Rise through the floor Without a sound Fall up through the grass And seek above Through the airy glass A true blue dove Jump through a pane And catch the air Wonder if you’re sane And pose yourself there Tickle through the darkness...
Wasteland
The winds blast And hint at wonder How long can this last For us to blunder Aimlessly drifting For no one to see Scenes keep shifting Though no one can flee The smell of hope Rises on a gust Impossible to cope For none of this is just Reaching a haven Down shines a light The call of the raven Lends no more flight

Devil's Kiss
Drunk with demons that dwell inside Drowning in the breath of their influence Lost in the truth of lies that dance around my mind Demons on my shoulder, no angels in sight Breathing in the mist of their decisions Deserted, wrong, forgetting what is “right” Listening to the silent intensity of the night in my mind Guided by my own twisted reasoning Dancing with evil as I travel farther...
The Morning
Two in the morning, and you are depriving me of sleep. Sporadically a car’s tires on the road or a gentle creaking of the house pierces the silence I pull the soft blanket around my body, but the blanket can neither deflect nor dislodge your power over me. Your mischievous eyes wink at me from the dark, your deepened voice whispers in my ear, Your hand traces its warmth down my neck, my...
Rain
Lying on my back, alone in the middle of a field Gazing at the clouds drifting swiftly against the sky The clouds folding in upon each other, morphing Becoming new shapes before my eyes Yet all I see is you. You are the white nothingness above me The neverending droplets of rain suspended in motion Unforgiving, unapologetic, unknown Unaware of my presence beneath you. Depite my endless efforts to...
Falling from Earth
A swing creaks back and forth in the distance, In sync with the gentle wind that teases the leaves The moon peers through the handlebars, The night our unlikely audience The trees our unlikely walls The grass our unlikely bed Only the stars can witness our touches Only the earth can hear our sighs Only they can guess our intentions, Watching such foreign human pleasures Watching us begin to fall...
