When that which was always there Is lost Love, strength, direction Shattered And absence takes its place. How do I  find my way?Who will be my light?Who will fill my darkness?Who will reach out in my time of need?Who will provide the succor?That will lead me...

You Spoke My Name

"When you speak my name."

You said my name, it felt so intimateas if you spread some jam upon my lipsand then you licked it off. The loving wayyou said my name had felt as if you'd kissedmy center of deep sensuality.As if the simple act of naming mehad been seductive, lustful, and unleashed.And all the time...

I was too empty for words,nothingness gnawingat my insides, whererhythm and rhymeused to picket and pulse.And maybe there’s richnessin the silent calm of nothings.Empty flower beds waiting,for the next buds of spring.Yet spring has now sprung  From whence will the words...

She had my heart racing,Gone were my words,Such bliss was found.I was a vessel empty for her words,nothing else could appease my hunger.So I tore the syllables apart,Crunched consonants, under poor punctuation,And let vowels hang loose,Limping slightly, as they fluttered in...

Bitter Release

"When a sweet love turns bitter..."

I let you go,My affliction,Your sweetness gone,An addiction. Hit rock bottom,Cannot hide,Withdrawal feeds,Where love died. Nightmare vultures,Haunting me,Around every turn,It’s you I see. Triggered by greed,Consumed by lust,You’re crushing me up,Life turns to dust. Wander for relief,Failure to confide,I’m not whole,Feel barely alive. Turning bitter,No...

I was lost for years, a broken man.A man so filled with pain.No inspiration, no hope, no love.She made me write again.The world was just a Twilight place.A world of grey and rain.But out of the blue, she came to...
