Awkward silence
Strangers drifting through our paces
Minutes slipping by
Small silences
Needing the companionship
But wanting the loneliness
Cold creeping
In Last moments of the light
Poems
Poetry about poetry
The harsh razorblades of words that rush out
carving a bloody painful path through flesh
living manikin cast free of form
to dance in blaze down the overgrown roads of the mind
pain and pleasure warring
roaring to become one
in the dripping pageantry of other minds
while I lay broken and empty waiting
hoping to hear
that someone
is
listening

Without words
Fingertips lightly across soft skin
lips brushing against neck
knowing looks whispering softly
The everpresent sensuality of you

The Blade’s Remorse
Hurts flash frozen
Chemical assistance interceding
The blade slips in
All pains receding
Still bleeding but unfeeling
A smile plastered on my face
Blood keeps flowing
And I unknowing
It’s all just building
Walls are breaking
But I’m still smiling
Though the grimace sets in
The ice is melting
And depths are beckoning
My paths are ending
Smile cracking and
Falling away

To burn
Worlds rise in my dreams
But each morning, on waking
the day begins anew
Ready to be burned or sown
The worlds will rise regardless, colored by my actions, but they will rise
On a day I wake alive, everything can change
But it won’t. At the point of choosing I will choose the darker path.
Every time I’ve chosen the bright path, I’ve ended up burned.
Tell the truth, lose the life you enjoy
Tell a lie, gain a business
Sacrifice to save a life, lose your heart
In reverse, gain peace
Into darkness and out the other side, back in the light, I stand back at the edge
To burn or to sow

Out of place – Twitter writing prompt
hurry on by
parties/laughter
light/music
food/wine
Waiting to be seen
one look
that says I am not invisible
I am still human

Tell me
Words burn down my synapses
lighting fire In my heart
soul ignited
prelude to kiss
touch
your truths become our secrets
our silent smiles
Share this:
Isolation
Chimes sound deep
forest clearing quietly
halting sound
slowing until stillness
calm burns slow decay of fire
leeched out beginnings
simple truths give way to happy lies
words on repeat
replete of meaning
and the slow descending swirl of elegant
made bitter
Share this:
Granular
Sand gives way
each step burying deeper
unnoticed until I can no longer move
shivering from the lack
simple steps that would have led me to you
did I have the path
or the faintest knowledge of who you’ll be
always a falter away from discovery
from the last to the beginning
simple acknowledgement of skills forgotten
on this long journey to middle of nowhere
lost on the road to you

Dance fallow
Music pulses into the shallow echos
burn hallow in bright fire
Lift broken from memory of dawns false hopes
soft touch sinking into dream
free constraint of the drift
first taste of drought in pleasures embrace
the kiss dripping honey
buried in the seeking
