defeat

I’m defeated.

I’ve got nothing left.

Zero.

 

I’m hung over.

On that bridge.

About to jump.

Who’s going to catch me?

I don’t need you to respond.

I need you to know, which bridge will I choose?

Tenth Of May

On the Tenth Of May

My proceedings will come to a halt

I’ll be coming out

And magnifying my electricity I share with you all

I’ll take a bow and finish my acting

Be aware

On the Tenth Of May

Valentine’s Day

Didn’t pull the trigger

Because I know you are breathing

Just around the corner

Just not in my bed, under these cold warm sheets....

Hijacked Love

She stole my love away

She hijacked it from my heart

 

She cried when I cried

She laughed when I laughed

 

Her body quivered when I made love to her

Her lips softened when I kissed her

 

She promised me something divine

She promised me something real

 

Her eyes spoke to me as I gazed

Her ears listened as I whispered

 

She dreamed when I was alive in her arms

She breathed deeply when I hugged

 

 

 

She stole my love away

She hijacked it from my heart

 

She embraced me in the evening

She woke up next to me in the morning light

 

Her soft skin was always next to mine

Her curves surrounding my innocence

 

She was music to my heart

She was everything peaceful

 

Her thoughts were shared with mine

Her energy flowed through me

 

She was only a memory

She was only a short fantasy

Closed (Version #2)

It’s closed

It’s shut

It’s no longer open

It’s no longer wide

It’s closed down

Retired

Put on the shelf

Nothing left

Zero

Nothing here

Gone

Closed

Embrace

I would have the bathtub ready for you

Just after you arrive home from work

Filled with hot soothing water

The surface draped in beautiful flower petals

Light from candles warm up the room to a golden hue

 

My smile can conquer any of the day’s sadness

With my hands I guide you to the scent of blossoms

Slowly I disrobe you and caress your soft ivory skin

Gently you submerge deeply into the hot bath

Mystical music is playing in the surroundings

 

We talk and laugh and smile

Exchange the warmness that surpasses the heat of the flames

I rub your wet back with my strong hands

Run my fingers through your silky hair and wash the beauty clean

Give you a delicate kiss on your sweet lips

 

I depart the bathroom for you to relax

As I prepare dinner for two

With the freshest of ingredients

Cooked to the perfection of your taste

Glasses of wine now await your re-entry

 

We have a lovely meal and a treat for dessert

Share stories of the past and dreams of the future

Have stimulating and inspirational conversation

Feeling connected during this moment caught in time

I lead you to the bedroom to have our own symphony

 

...

 

After the hours of love-making

The kisses to your lips

The traces of my tongue around your ear

The kisses to your inner thigh

The traces of my finger around the contour of your body

The kisses to your nipples

The traces of my scents intertwining with yours

The kisses to your back

The traces of my finger upon your navel

After all the kissing and tracing and love-making

We sleep together, in an embrace.

Time

I have an early flight,

I am with a woman,

or

I am sick.

Happiness is a warm gun

I think I’ll shove one up your ass.

I think I’ll guide one between your legs.

 

I think I’ll trace your contour with the barrel

I think I’ll plow through the feathers of the down with this steel rod

 

I think I’ll blast through the night on your bed sheets

I think I’ll enter your soul and make you forget

 

I think I’ll shoot up tonight

I think I’ll penetrate your mind all night

 

I think I’ll take this gun and poke you in the back

I think I’ll make you stick it up high

 

I think I’ll turn you around and make you warm

I think I’ll stare in your eyes and make you cold

 

I think I’ll slowly make you brace it

I think I’ll quickly make you suck it

 

I think I’ll show you how to use it

I think I’ll show you how to honor it

 

I think I’ll make you stroke its weight

I think I’ll make you groan louder at point

 

I think I’ll deliver it gently

I think I’ll never let it explode again

 

I think I’ll wish I had it inside

I think I’ll wish I never died

You Are Not Here

I look to my left, and I see you

I look to my right, and I see you

But when I look above me

or below me,

I don’t see you.

Sleeping

Sleeping next to you

White sheets wrapped around us

Hearing a quiet purr from your side of the bed

Sunday morning light never looked so good

Bouncing around these angled walls

Martin Day

Sad...

they ask how is the weather,

and ask “What day is it?”

 

He just replies with, “Yesterday was Wednesday, tomorrow is Friday.”

(I’ll let you figure out what today is)

I Cry

Because you have won

You are a winner

 

All I can do is lose

And I have lost

 

I cry because I can’t dance

I watch you sway back and forth

But my legs won’t move, wont step

 

Because you are a winner

Magnificent

 

I am restrained to this bed

Broken glass in your footsteps

 

You can’t walk to me

Beneath this radiating iridescent light

Above Eleven stories, so many untold

Bullet wounds forgotten

 

I’m not allowed to pray to God here

Just count the tiles

And forget the Love

Wish I was in,

Wish I was in

 

You are a great winner, remember that?

The January Spring air

The January Honey dip

 

Directions given

Didn’t take a drink

Thought you might hide the pills

Punch you in the face

 

Now all left behind

Nothing is hidden

Come see me now

See what I’m made of

And I’ll show you the actions of love

The visuals of love

The feelings of love

But, you’ll never quote me...

Fifteen Days

Muted Hazel in 15 days

I will be famous for 15 minutes

Wrapped in sheets in 15 days

Gone to heaven for 15 hours

 

Piercing Blue in 15 days

She will be real for 15 minutes

Silently waiting for 15 days

Gone underneath for 15 hours

 

Rocked through the sky in Thousand and Two

Nobody heard, everyone felt

Nobody listened, you & I

Rocked through the midnight in today’s morning hours

 

Muted Hazel

Where have you been?

Muted Hazel

What kind of trouble are you in?

 

Piercing Blue

I don’t know you

Piercing Blue

Is it true?

 

Fifteen Days

Away I have swept

Fifteen Days

She no longer has wept

 

Rocked back and forth

Steady stream

Violent toss

Break a snap over your knee

 

Honey Dip

Supermarket trip

Grabbed you by the hip

Going to give your tongue a slip

 

Fifteen Days

Come and gone

 

Fifteen Days

I’ll here you sing

 

Fifteen Days

Spread the sheets

 

Fifteen Days

It’s time to eat

 

Fifteen Days

I want more

 

Fifteen Days

See you in February

 

Fifteen Days

Ides of March

 

Fifteen Days

Gone tomorrow
