  • A Bitter Review 

    A Bitter Review 

    The trust I lost, Is vested in insecurity, and  The knowledge that hindsight inflicted,  So astute, so perfect, in its wise view.  Granted now, time is lost, Granted the disappearance of them all, To…

  • Don’t fix me:

    Don’t fix me:

    Dark group playing,   By nightfall risqué.   Temp me, infatuation. Heartfelt praying,   Like daytime whisky. Interceding, invocation. In Morning playing,    Ruin her craving Provoke me, stimulation. Wreck our minds     Destroy…

  • This long dark night of the soul.

    This long dark night of the soul.

    Dark cravings saturated in the innocent fragrance of excitement; now despair. Regrets hiding behind smiles and contagious giggles, with a green eyed dragon lurking; opposing me in the high places of refuge. Forced to…

  • A Poet’s Rhapsody, and a Fool’s Paradise

    A Poet’s Rhapsody, and a Fool’s Paradise

  • A Dark Valentine, Ragana

    A Dark Valentine, Ragana

    So sincere I am poisonous, like a dream; remained a dream. So then, the duality, caught between reality, and sleep. In shadows, in whispers, in the darkest thoughts cascading. Unhealthy like the moonshine pouring…

  • Her Dreams

    Her Dreams

    Sweetly, softly, Tiptoe now Gent’ly hold her dream, With care and love, deposit it now, Caref’ly to the stream. Hurry back, light-footed gait, Don’t stumble through the door. Without such care, I would not…

  • When Love Plays with Your Heart (A Monologue)

    When Love Plays with Your Heart (A Monologue)

  • Across the Gulf

    Across the Gulf

    Amid the murmurs, laughter’s fleeting glow,I drift through crowded rooms of faces near,Their words like rushing streams I cannot know,Each flowing past, untouched, and insincere. The music swells, a tide that pulls away,While voices…
