So Comes the Snow
I’m a private man; I’ve always been alone A solitude of self is all that I’ve ever known All the pain that I’ve inflicted From a heart so tight constricted Never once did I intend for you, to reap what I had sown . I’m a quiet man; I’ve lived my life with fear The…
Whiskey Night
She tore across my heart Like demon dogs on a whiskey night Left to bleed a burning want Blindly rage the howling moon Demon dogs on a whiskey night . Haunting tragic mournful sound Demon dogs on a whiskey night Scabrous stains of tattered pride Baleful songs streak ebon sky Demon dogs on a whiskey…
Hang the lantern
Hang the lantern from the ceilingFill the void and shadowed gloomRaise the fire and stoke the embersBring such light to this old room Lift the cloth from oiled leatherDust the shelves of ancient tomeThrow wide the woolen draperyMake this empty heart a home Clean the sheets and festive linenKill the fatted goose and gameString the…
Heaven Scent
Please … Just lay there, let me hold you, Let me breathe your shallow rise. Taste the wonder of your sparkling, Watch the fire close your eyes. Feel the warmth within you growing, As the passion starts to climb. Glide against the silken velvet, Smoothly plunging … sense sublime. . Please … Don’t shift, remain…
Something in the Darkness
There was something in the darkness,Evil twitching out of sight.In its madness there is reason,For it’s coming out this night.There is hunger, and its hunting,Patient waits, shadows hide.Lightning flashes for a moment,Fangs of horror glisten wide. In the schoolyard tossing ribbons,With such laughter, in her hair.Curls of auburn kiss the moonlight,Summer evening without care.All alone…
More Than Nothing
You never thought the fear would passMocked the face repeating glass Twisting, turning, tumbling stillCount the tear per windowsill AllThe wayDown she ridesThe endless shame that Mother hides Christian white and lily pureWalk it off, the blood ignore Vacant, empty, eyes unmetMother whispers let’s forget AllThe wayDown she weepsEnd the shame that Mother keeps Old…
Run the Rain
Sitting on the front porch, Staring out at the sky. Held my momma’s hand so tightly, Watched the rain fall as she cried. . Somewhere in the distance, There raged a killing war. When my brother came home, He wasn’t Bobby anymore. . You know you’ll never run the rain. You know you’ll never run…
Mortared Brick the Fabric Cast
Asleep;I am jamming the keyWithin the door of:Destination unknowable;Hoping for a reprieveThat beyondLies some formOf hope. Dreaming;The depth of vision stirsThe mortared brick:Foundation unbreakable;Promise layered with wishThat somehowBeyond the wallA truth Awake;With patent clarityReality watches:Assimilation unavoidable;Carefree cannot standThat sightingDesperationWe hide. Alive;The bonding stitch of clothLoomed in fertile past:Creation undeniable;Color runs the fabric dryThat weaverWhose hands…
Touch the Moon
If I took the time to tell you I loved you,If I laid you back on the cool sheets tonight,Would you take the time to lead me inside you,Lying in our breath, could we make things right? If I stole the stars to give you Centauri,If I laid them back in your name ‘cross the…
Tomb
I can’t breath There is something lodged inside me Burning Gasping Breaking Blackened tears like nectar pinched Streaming down through gritted fingers, Pallid Fists To suckle the beast who fills my breast I can’t breath . I can’t breath Free the pang of ancient hunger Gnawing Tearing Spiting Darkness stirs with reason’s passing Limbering quick…
