Today My Heart Went Wandering Astray

Today my heart went wandering astray. Containing muscle, valves and blood behind a cage of bone, tissue and flesh. My heart should be able to stay. Unwilling to be restrained, I feel it reaching past my ribs. Unbidden in its search of the food that it needs. Leaving behind a mass that so easily bleeds. Today my heart went wandering astray. Organic brain matter a poor custodian of something...Read On

That Something

There’s something about your face That makes me want to laugh In a kind of mean-spirited way-- Maybe the freckles half-obscuring your skin Or the fluffy uni-brow Perhaps also the distinct crook in your nose They make me want to giggle and poke at you Like a child fascinated by something ‘different’ I don’t know why, but I want to laugh When I see your face. There’s...Read On

Thoughts At Bay

For some reason I keep procrastinating writing stories, but hey why not write a poem=)

I'm feeling off balance, I drink from the Chalice, On a Sunday afternoon. I repent for my sins, But the devil he wins, He brings me back to you. I pray there's a way, To keep my thoughts at bay, But yet they like to follow. A wild goose chase, My untied shoelace, Running I fall again. It's not due to the bird, Haven't you heard? I fell for a person again. Not just random things, My...Read On

Love and Life..an Ode to Joy

There is a yellow paper origami bird that sits on my dashboard. It smells like the sun. Citrus with overtures of vanilla. I'm growing terse, this shows itself in light. Not how it pools and dimples, but how it shreds. And the "thisness" shows thin in all I have'nt read, all I still do not know, and all that I am or can ever hope to be. Equal parts of sun and shadow, eleven...Read On

The Siren song

The darkness calls Like a Siren’s song, Pulling me in, A place to find rest, No more pain, No more tears, No more hurt. Oh, how I want to go, But I know I can’t. I have to stay, Shackled, imprisoned, A broken body, A wounded heart, A spirit scarred. I long for the darkness, For peace. One day it will embrace me, Let me rest. But not tonight....Read On

Across A Shimmer

Your face is just a shimmer across the water, a rippling mirror that always tries to find wherever my reflection chooses to hide, in the gaps a lens could never quite capture. Where nothing but a cavernous quiet reverberates through the heart's chambers after the final footsteps across a breaking bridge. I'll never hear the weight of what we were collapsing, cracking roads and...Read On

Catapult

We don't really fall in love

They say that people fall in love I beg to disagree It’s really more a catapult: You’re launched, then flying free Swirling, twirling through the air The world around you spins Like nothing you have ever seen At heights you’ve never been You catch your breath Such beauty! Surrounds you and within Your happiness just radiates You feel your life begin Whether you are young or old The...Read On

Sweet Words

Whispered notes upon your shirt Speaking of my touch Murmurs linger on the sheets Reminders of our lust Our passions of the night before Trace my name in air Your lips again pressed to my neck So warm beneath my hair Each hint of scent a mention Bringing me to mind My presence in my absence An aura left behind Soft, yet with such power You feel me in your arms Telling you I love...Read On

The Empty Shape of You

haunted by memories...

In you I always lost myself but I never knew A heart could turn to blackened dust and I’d be losing you The feather touch of memories that swirl around my head And there’s an empty shape of you lying in my bed Where once our hearts were synchronized Our promises were atomized A love that turned to empty words When once your voice was all I heard Our fingers...Read On

Lament of a Man in Pain

A poem I wrote when I was between relationships, trying to decide how to handle the transition

Whatever I do, Wherever I go, Someone I love, or someone I know, Gets hurt, by me, so what can I say? When my every move, and my every way Is painful to Someone. I wish that I could be the good man, That people around me keep saying I am. I don't see how it could be that they see, What I can't see, a way that I can be. It's not who I am. Why should I try, to love anyone, When there is...Read On

Where Did You Go?

No goodbye just gone.

We met online and had a thing One day you just left We never ended our fling I'm really not impressed Emotions you let decide Your decision had no regard for me No more sadness or tears cried I suppose we're both now free I loved you each and every day Today perhaps a bit less I wish you did it another way I guess you were stressed Each day we chatted about life Sweet words crafted...Read On

Keeping Quiet

these words are from long ago

If the sound of me saying, I love you, will make you angry, I prefer never to speak of my sentiments. If the feelings cannot be returned, my heart will also let you go, and I will forget the beauty of us. Others said this can not last, but to my regret, I turned a deaf ear, the thought was imperishable. Although, I must admit circumstances have always made this bitter sweet, and caused...Read On

Thinking of You

a little doggerel for a special friend

I was thinking of you today In words I prob’ly shouldn’t say. Or, if said, just in a hush Because they’d make most people blush. Or maybe Yiddish; what the heckie Say I was playing with my schmeckie. And though you’re really far away, I still want to jump your bones today. And now I’m growing such a stalk If I stand up, I can not walk. I'll keep poking into things: The backs...Read On

Breath

Take a breath. Look at me. See my heart. It beats for thee. It took a while For me to find Someone like you, Someone to call mine. I've had it rough. Can't you see I've been crushed? But that's not what you see in me. You're the girl I've been awaiting. So, palms sweaty, My whole body shaking, I will fall. These times are hard, But baby, just maybe, We can conquer all And prove...Read On

I Remember

I remember falling asleep curled around your arm as you drove Telling myself it was wrong because you weren't mine I was with another yet it felt so wonderful with you I remember waking up your hand on my leg fingers lightly stroking The gentle touch of your lips atop my head made me smile Pretending to be sleeping so it wouldn't end I remember the clarity and peace that...Read On

Offering

i am worth the price

You are awake And I come to you With my skin tasting like peaches And my heart Offering you everything. Brittle stars sparkle In quiet and awestruck joy As you touch my body And call forth wetness From this stone. Open flesh begs your entry. I move against you Meeting every caress, Every thrust, Until we both smell like Sweat and sex. You drink me in ...Read On

Alcaeus

Falling From Your Love

Written from one lover to another, about their passion.

Hey you, with shining azure eyes, and hair to rival Cytherea. I have lost myself in your embrace but wish never to be free again. I feel as though I have fallen for you from the high of your love- Or perhaps jumped into the pools that shine like stars whene’re you smile. There is some subtle difference between the breathless act of falling, and the daring risk of jumping. ...Read On

The Om

The om of my all-knowing see even in writing of sensuality, casting shadows on my epitome, my yen taking wind of many sins. And I in dark of my all alone and in quest the everlasting la, as the whispers in sing bringing silence to my ears. From whence I have sung with revelers of my glee, lost in my Apollo the om of my all-knowing see. With breath of my whew and séance with...Read On

It Was Always You

So I hid my love away Like mail that arrives in far flung lands No return address....Neither lost not found I felt more love for you than was ever shown And you held on with hope, waiting, Only one day to let go. As you walked away I waited for you to look back Then I worried that I'd blown my only chance. You moved along to that bleach blonde girl Simple, not so complicated...Read On

Sonnet for Haysi

Dedicated to the beautiful and sexy Haysi.

Sweetly scented summer flowers Fill my sleepless, silent hours With their whispered, honeyed stories That tell of love and all its glories. One night the flowers spoke of you; They told of beauty shining through The gloom filled byways of the night With clear epiphanies of light, Of dreaming eyes and luscious lips, Of gorgeous breasts and...Read On

The Masterpiece Between Us

Every finger brushing skin Like the soft glide of paint on canvas Every sigh or moan, a melody, To which we will dance, And I will find my muse along your curve In your eyes I read a poem, No… An epic to rival Odysseus and Romeo who died for Juliet The blue of an ocean far more vast Much brighter light through yonder window to your heart That will guide me through it well Alike to the rest...Read On

Ghosts

Ghosts of the past brush near her as she returns to a place of her past. Fond memories clouded by pain, the hurt she cannot seem to escape. Stuck in darkness, the hollow storms roar, tearing at her as she curls up, in wane she tries to find some shelter, but the stormy darkness is in her very core. There is no way to hide from herself. She waits in silence in hope to gather strength,...Read On

Letting Go

The one thing that I know how to do is let go

I was yours, I felt safe I trusted I was wrong. Love songs played, Sweet words were spoken, A heart was opened, And shattered in the end. Time in a dream, You gifted me, Abruptly woke me, In a long cold night. This heart is in pain, As I am a burden, A weight drowning you, So I will let go. Once I feel well, I will run away, A time for reflection Is now here… I am not like them, I...Read On

Wonder

How can this be?

Can anyone explain to me How someone that I cannot see Can take my heart so totally So utterly complete How someone that I cannot hear Can, without ever being near warm up my soul and ease the fear And sense just what I need Can anybody shed some light On why it always feels so right To talk online so late at night Of what we're dreaming of I cannot help but wonder why She fills my heart...Read On

'Neath Our Wings

With God's shadow 'neath our wings In oceans of new moan grass Raining down a gilded glow Sharing wedding bells quell While caroling a marigold sing Whispering songs and compose In waves of caressing meadows On a carpet of romantic clover As the morning tides swell On this day our bands of gold And gilded vows of prose As bobbin of life's thread begins With God's shadow 'neath...Read On
