I am Me

Getting better is as simple as getting up

and doing it.

Or, at least I think it should be.

Worrying about what I’m doing next isn’t helping

When I’m not doing anything right now.

 

A city on the clouds

Lined with golden bars and silver gates

The prettiest prison you ever did see,

The cloud 9 in the back of my head.

 

I sit here, and think, about how I

Sit here, ...

My Entity

Wherever I go,
there you are.

I see you
in stormy skies. 

I feel you
in twilight.

I taste you  
in the words of every love poem. 

You are nowhere to be found,
yet always around.

My entity,
you are the part of me I long to set free.

Love’s chameleon tongues a hedonism

anxious lips kiss curved ribs appled in eye

pole dancing a Jacob’s ladder of debauchery

“Don’t move” you cry, and I’m flung far and wide

Homecoming


 
Awaited awakening

loose lipped, tight tipped

Injecting deep into me

formaldehyde of jealousy

 


 Rhythmic warm chill

presses on pulsating throat

sticky skin anoints

soothing balm of obssession

 

 

Surrender fills silence

thighs pillow dormant anger

your cunning apology

having resentfully missed me

 


tendrilled fingertip...
