It’s four o’clock
the night is dark
she pretends to sleep
as watch he does keep
he subdued her quivering screams
but nothing can quell her crimson dreams

Too soon petals pale
Fade with departing summer
Fall's frenzy arrives

Winding down
after fanatic catch up
frenzy of writing about
yesterday today tomorrow
dreaming a little dream of poetry
words spinning in circle
would they touch any hearts

stand tall over me
defiler of souls
my body is devoid
of christian doctrine

souls are aimless
the heart is what
drives the body
to desire

when i kiss the curve of your neck
he asks if the fires of madness
is worth the prayer to lessen our pain

but i'll walk
on your bad side

downpours heavy
i am all too eager
to follow you
through waterfalls
and uncertainty

comfort is another
word for lifeless
and you are all
too full of vigor

he starts to unzip my jeans
calls me baby
but the word is foreign
like he's never called anyone baby
but enjoyed the thought

the pages are as worn
as my lungs
choked from smoke
and dreams of survival
long past

i never intended on lasting this long

In the air is invisible,
In Terra ferma invincible.
Fast as spark of Light
It is in the sky.
The white soul is bright
lives in paradise,
It seeks the white Light
For eternal Life.
I follow the Light
For eternal paradise.

My heart is moody today.
I took a paintbrush and painted something different and new.
My mind is today.
Thinking of the ocean, the passing full moon and pictures of you.



A bit of amateur painting at Cork and Canvas tonight.

Love knows no limits,
Love can change a lot things,
Love comes to us,
When no one is waiting for.
We're looking for new bouquets,
We give toys and flowers,
We're waiting for a great answer,
Words, you love me too!

A mythic creature of the land
A vision of ancient power
One look in his feral eyes
You were his to devour
Sage wisdom I failed to heed
He bade me come to his side
I gave him my body and my soul
In his world I must now abide
