Poem: Abstract Song

Sitting in the bed she watches
Him move naked across the room
Smile on her lips and buzzing in her head
She picks up her blue guitar and strums
A melody coming before the words

Poem: Temptation

She called him a devil
Not for the evil he had done
But for the temptation he offered
Sweet desires that dripped with lust

Poem: Desperation Days

Thursdays are desperation days
So close to the weekend they entice
To behavior better saved for Friday nights
I’m laying here half naked and half awake
Listening to breathing that’s not my own
Thinking maybe I made another mistake

Poem: Coin Toss

Sometimes love is like a gamble
Where you lay all your chips down
Allowing the cards to fall where they may
Never recognizing the deck was loaded
And you were a loser from the start

Poem: Sweet Harvest

They say apples hold magic
A hidden star at its core
I never believed in mysticism
Yet you with juice on your chin
Has me absolutely entranced

Poem: Pleasure in Between the Lines

In this hours the world feels
Familiar and warm safe places
In intertwined hands
Like a prayer to deaf gods
We whisper with eager lips

Poem: Impossible Horizon

On twisted up sheets we lay
The stars of a million dreams
Stretching to the four corners
Outward to infinity where we are
Spinning around without moving

Poem: Meeting in the Evening Greeting in the Morning

When I first saw her across a room
The light seemed to attach to her
Glowing like a personal halo illuminating
Her as she danced alone in the crowd
Seemingly unapproachable in beauty
And with unworthy intent I approached

Poem: Building Tension

Smooth as silk until the shiver
As my fingers trace contours
Of your thigh until the edge
Of your dress is reached

Poem: Hush

a single finger
hush words would ruin a moment
perfected in silence
