Shadow caves in
Crashing down this well of light
This beacon!
This bright!
Is fading
Candle snuffed out
Room feels empty
Only the memory remains
poetry month
Sacrosanct ritual
You are a sacrament made holy by debasement
Made glorious by the sweat and ecstasy of your flesh
Made exultant by convolution of your mind
I taste you on my tongue transubstantiated into need and desire
Your kiss becomes my miracle
Your saliva my wine
Stirring my blood to churn
You are my altar,
my goddess,
my saint of desire
Worship with me

Uncertain terms
Sleep eludes the decaying tree
Its roots soaked deep with blood
And tired wave
Laps with fetid water
Near corpse Shadow shore
Nightmare made burdensome heart
A heaviness to lidded eyes
and slipping Deeply bend
Leap for and falter
Last hurried breath before the fall

Javelin
Wood and stone
Struck deep,
Pierced veil, ripped shroud
To let the sunshine through
Velvet caress, sybilant phrases
Lift me to the light
A beacon
You draw me close
Burn me in your flames

Oracle
The razor eases close through skin and muscle
Scraped along bone to the sounds of screaming
Terrified into waking
Find vivid hallucination mimic in reality
Each step slivers of skin and bone
Peel crimson from feet
This path of broken swords
This remembering of future
Leg swings out,
the flash of possible, the choice,
The cost
Paid in blood and pain
This path, this choice, this future
All prices paid, more than worth it

My miss
Desire is a funny thing
It bends and rages
Holds steady and grows
It can burn out or grow forever
For you, my desire cannot be sated
only briefly abated
day by day desire spins to the edge of control
Until only “yes, sir” returns me to peace

Snap the twig
Canyon and valley
Yield to crimson rage
Following the branching twist
Build pleasure from necessity
Take beyond measure
Reap beyond words
A broken rule unleash a demon
And in the silence burn
Share this:
Fire makes the blade
Shadows blended smoke
Cold burns deepest in the bone
Muscles tension ease
Vapor sweet and kind
Whisper words of doubt
Summon up a
Brandished blade
Ask for your desires
Your will, your words
You’re mine

H is for…
Anxious turns to steady
Apologies become a kiss
Thought blooms and takes up residence
Linked across miles
A minefield of causality between us
Happy than I’ve been
Share this:
Shattered glass
Pain and need war within
Desiring to be desired
Sweet memories of sweet tastes
Shaken the pieces rearrange
Reborn in the changes
Walk forth renewed
