Undisclosed Desires ...

sister to the night
parting lips whisper "baby,"
darkness can't contain

* * *

eminently free,
unchained mind of eden, douse
fiery recess

* * *

a brazen lust
bore fruits of labor undone
the kiss of oceans

* * *

I want more...

Muddy Waters ...

a letter to the
woman i once loved more than
myself: i still do.

* * *

sinister nightfall
frigid still winds of horizon
the wide-eyed unknown

* * *

terrified of you
truth falls over still closed lips
soothing inner demons

* * *

unshakable sight:
your eyes dance across loose leaf
under the dyed moon

* * *

nights are lonesome e-
ven though ostensibly no-
thing has changed at all.

The Funeral ...

Let us all bow our heads and mourn for the moment that never was.

It wasn't until I felt I was in the right state of mind that I realized I had gone too far left. So far, in fact, that not only was I lost, but I had lost all sense of reason. Or season. Winter melted into Summer before I noticed the Fall, and only the chilled breeze through the open window alerted me to my miscarriage. My peace disturbed by the kiss of a black widow.

Throw no roses; I'd only arrange them at her feet.
