Island
The nights embrace is no match
Her heart is on fire
Blood boiling in her veins
Molten lava at the core

His hands as cool as ice
Smoke rises where upon he touches
Icicles in his veins
Glacier in his deepest recess

She warms him up
He cools her down
Steam pools off both
A hiss the only sound

Moans are captured between their lips
Flames and ash become their kiss
Exchange of power has begun
With each touch become undone

The time is done
This glacier and volcano
In its stead something new created
An island to keep them sated

A sanctuary if you must
Where fire and ice meld
The hiss of their kiss
It is stronger than lust
An island emerges from the wreckage. Each trying to show how they are wrong for the other....wrong no more...

Untitled 30
She is but one facet
Sitting upon her chaise
Contemplating
the utmost unimportance of life

One piece
In this puzzle
This chasm
She strives to survive

She sips upon the liquid
Burns fire within
Attempting to quench her thirst
Of her favorite sin

Longing and heartache
The ineptitude she feels
Forever rolls around her
Her dreams stand still

Monster
I don't think you understand. The way my chest tightens. There's a vice holding back the tears and it makes it so hard to breathe. this incredible pain and emptiness vying for the space. How my mind screams at me. The part of me that isn't like this is trapped in there. Banging on her cell walls begging to be let out again. the Monster has taken over. It's ******* the life right out of me. I don't think straight. I can't see clearly. All lines are blurred. Every look is suspicious. every text some other woman. This Monster is controlling my mind. Having me read between lines that aren't there. And the pain... Oh God the pain!! I don't want to die, but I just want the pain to STOP! I need help putting this monster back in its cage.....

Bring It
Clad in the armor of war
She faces the storm
Above her roaming the sky
Her obsidian dragon of eyre
By her feet slithering fast
Her red serpent of tales
Upon her back
Lays the bow and arrows
Soaked with poisoned truth
In her hand
She carries the staff of justice
Her body is black and blue
From all the hits she's taken
****** feet and hands
From the mountains she's climbed
She is finally here
The last battle
With a stance of defiance
Whispers into the storm
*"I am ready...."
I am ready....I shall rise the victor..

Love Letters
One love letter never sent
Two love letters never read
Three love letters in the trash
Four love letters burning ash
The letters pile up inside my head
Love letters that will never be sent
All saying the same to him

*"I'm so sorry that I left you
That I went on and had a life without you
That I couldn't see the words you never said
That I believed words were all I needed
When I was wrong, your actions said it all"
Amazing how alcohol makes you remember the ones you wish you could forget. I am sorry Texas that I, as you so eloquently put it, destroyed you. Amazing how it is now actions I want and not just words.....hind sight is always 20/20.
I lay in bed and my ghosts surround me
A synchronized waltz in full swing
I bid them to go, to leave
They in turn look and laugh soundlessly    

My past it is haunting my mind
Like a movie playing before me    
taunting, leering, scorning me
How I long for it to stay where it is, behind

Faces with soulless eyes reveal themselves
Reminding me the wrongs I've done
They beg me to instead of hurt, help
Help though I cannot give, i have none

Waltz after waltz, face after hollow face
scream after silent scream!
I wish they would just let me be, leave

I wish this were nothing but a dream
I am afraid though that hell I am in
Again, upon a dulled black throne
After all, I have been corinated their *Queen
the ghosts will never leave.....
Here we go again
I knew it was to good to be true
I was feeling happy
Smiling more
Laughing, loving
Then out of nowhere
WHACK!
No reason
No real trigger
The old words flow in..
"you're not good enough"
"he must have someone else"
"you'll never work again"
"might as well just die"
"can't even take care of your kids"
"your whole life is a lie"

My heart races
My tears threaten to fall
I don't know why
It's just there
I can't turn it off
GOD! Please save me!!!
This is a real problem in many lives. We can't just turn it off. Unfortunately, it controls us. We can take medicine, but it's only a bandaid. Love us, remind us we are worth it. That our fears may seem real, but you are there to protect us. Please don't judge us. Stay with us. We always need a hand...

Heads or Tails
She can be hell on wheels
A devil on your bed
A true lady in streets
Give the gentlest touch you've ever had

That's just one side of her coin
Flip her just right and you'll get this...

She'll become your reaper
Tear your heart right out
Your worse nightmare come true
**** the life right out of you

Be careful how you treat her
She hangs precariously on the edge
One flip of the coin
A gentle touch or the demon in your head

Changes
you are my sunshine,
                        my only sunshine

Holding him close
Rocking my baby
He may be five but I still pace the floor and rock

                        *you make me happy
                          when skies are grey


Big changes are starting
He wraps his arms a little tighter
Safe, secure

                        you'll never know dear
                           how much I love you


Holding tight to his baby
Thumb in mouth
My little Linus
Safe and secure is what I bring

                           so please don't take
                              my sunshine away


*I don't want to go mommy.....
"You Are My Sunshine" is my youngest song. I have sung that to him since my Bug was born. We had a bad night last night. The divorce is drawing to a close (hopefully). He wanted me to hold him close and rock him singing his song.....

How I See
My face is not that of beauty queens

                the indention in my forehead
                         shows that clearly


My hair is not as shiny as most

                        ***** brown and limp

My neck is not that of starlets

                         I have a double chin
                          when I look down


My chest is not that of a model's

              I could pass for a man right there

My stomach is not a six pack

                              having babies
                      stretched me too much


My bottom is not smooth at all

                      stretch marks all over

My legs are not that of a dancer's

                              chicken legs
                       I've heard them called


My mind is not that of Einstein

                      I'm still learning everyday

My heart is not made of gold

                             there are days
                the blackness comes through


My soul is not white as snow

                       it is tainted with life
                   harsh words thrown to it


I attempt to overcome my faults

                       walk as though I have
                    nothing to be ashamed of


But in the back of my mind
There sits the forever

                          Not good enoughs...
Insecurities ****. Tonight more than most.

Aching Feet
I sit here on my perch
Gazing into the street
Feels good on my perch
It helps my aching feet

Call them back
Weight and vitals
Tell me your history
Please do not lie to me

Pinch the babies
Make them cry
So when they come back
They'll of me be shy

Well, this one lied to me
Now I stand before my boss
My *** getting reamed
Thanks to the one who lied to me

This one just found out they have cancer
Hold their hand
Hug them tight
As they ask why, looking for an answer

Wipe the tears from my eyes
It's time for the next
Look at the clock
After twelve
Still no lunch yet

The afternoons are starting
Still haven't been able to sit
My feet
**** are they aching

Now it's five
The last one just left
Missed my lunch
I don't remember if I peed yet

Now I can sit on my perch
Looking out my window
Watching the cars pass by

They're going home
That I long to do
The paperwork though
Home isn't coming soon

The day in the life
of this clinic nurse
So happy to just sit

***** my feet hurt
#nurse #sore #feet #foot rub anyone?

Yes, I Ran
I ran
Hard, fast
             away...
I ran until
breath was gone
Bending over
Head between legs
Sharp pain in my side
                                               still
I did not run enough
I cannot run
                       f   a     r
enough
He is still there
Inside my mind
                            I cannot escape him
black eyes
dark hair

His scent clings to me
So I run again
Maybe this time
This time I can
                               e  s  c  a  p  e
*him
Hard to escape what is in your mind...

When in Rome
Cheshire grin
Memories renewed
Song in my head
Thinking of you

Flatbed truck
Under the stars
Only one night
Promise of more

another yet strays in my head
Been from the begining
Know I his head

Obsidian eyes and hair
Knows how to get me
When takes me to his lair

Both tempt my sin
Two the same name
One speaks one sings
*Opposite as night and day

A Guitar and a Song
A song plays
A series of  old memories surface
A time of innocence lost
Dark hair, brown eyes
Guitar in his arms
Playing as though Just for me
That first kiss, first taste Of what heaven could bE
The first time
Sweet, slow, all encompassing
The "I love you's" slipping easily off the tongue
I can still feel his warm arms, smell his sweet breath
A time of innocence lost to a man with a guitar and a song    
I drift off to peaceful slumber with his feel still all around me while our song stays on *repeat

Scene
Screech of the tires
A call goes out
They jump in their trucks heading to scene
Unknowing what there they'll see

First to arrive
Assess and treat
Pack them up
On to the next scene

Call comes through
Multiple injuries coming
Flip the rooms
Know your role

They start to file in
One gurney at a time
A team takes each one
Each team tries to keep lives

Door number one screams for mommy
Door number two, whispers what did I do
Door number three
Working hard to save the life

First responders and nurses and docs
Working as one
A well oiled machine
Keep it together they whisper in the shock

Life eagle called now into play
Silent journey over
Deep breath on landing
Time to save a life today

Four sets of personnel
Trying hard for one in room three
Heart comes back
Then just as quickly leaves

Stable at last
Into the eagle they place
Silent prayers go up
Please make it to the next scene

Adrenaline rush over
Some go to clean
Others fall to the floor
So much blood it seems

A whisper of a breeze
flits over each
A calming one
Breaking harder, knowing what it means

The life they tried so hard
Never made it to scene
She came back to just say
It's ok, you tried to save me...
Trying hard to show what happens behind the scenes. We break as easily as the layperson. We have just been trained to keep it in.  There is more to this, maybe I'll finish it someday

And Fight!!!
Tonight we watch a rival to match all rivals
One of blood lust and rainbows
These two have been at it since the beginning of birth. Forever at the others throat. Let's meet our competitors!!!

In the blue corner weighing in at 114#'s with a reach as long as her career
She's the stomper of dreams, the instigator of fights, it's IIINNNNSSEECCCUUURRIIITTIIEESS!!!!

And in the red corner also weighing in at 114#'s with a reach half an inch shorter
She's the rainbows after the storm, the swell of joy in your chest, the giver of forgiveness, it's
HHHAAPPPIIIINNNEESSS!!!

The referee for tonight's match is neutral. Let's hear what he has to say to the opponents

"Alright ladies. We discussed rules in the locker room. Hitting below the belt is illegal. The heart is frowned upon but in the game. Let's fight as fair as possible"

"I saw that shady, did you? That gleam in insecurities eyes when neutral said the heart. That woman has it out for happiness "

"I did see that fair. Happiness' eyes got round as saucers. She knows that insecurity is gonna pull a fast one. Want to bet that it's 'he's not really in love'?"

"I don't know shady, I'd hate to think she'd pull one so low. He did just profess his love to her"

"She could pull that 'he's still in love with the missus. That he really doesn't want to let go' "

"**** shady"....

TO BE CONTINUED....
If you know the WWE or UFC...use his voice

******!! Make me feel as though I should not have fears! You say "I love you", but do you truly mean it?

Her Time is Nigh
Storm clouds upon the horizon
Chaos dancing in the air
Rage building within
More turbulent with each passing minute
Calm hands grasp firey ones
Attempting to soothe fray
Unable to lull back the beast inside
Understanding passes
The storm is let loose
Flood gates let open
Thunder cracks
Shaking the sky
Lightening dances upon the ground
Burning whatever it touches
No longer a midas touch
No more gilded peace
It claims the earth with fury
Fury only hell would know
Fear enters onto the earth
For it has seen whom brings this storm
Lightening casts the silhouette
A lone woman with scorn in her eyes
Welcome the queen of hell
Had mediation yesterday. Went horrible. He attempted to remove the religious aspect of our children from the decree that would essentially not allow me to bring our children up in the faith of God.

She put herself out there
What she wanted, craved
She held out for you her hand
You batted it away

You leave her broken
So many times
But still she comes back for more
An obsession of mind

Do you not care
Or is fear what reigns
For fear is what travels
All through her veins

Do not scoff
This soul opened bare
When out she holds her hand
Take it, for her, be there

I Jumped
Into uncharted waters
Heart first
Mind racing after

Unknowing how it will feel
Reaching my destination
Shivers race across my body
Anticipation of the experience

will it be cold as ice
warm as the summer breeze
will I land upon rocks
or soft satin sheets


So I jumped

Into the abyss
Free falling
Trepidation close on my heels
Praying for an angel
pure or iniquity
                             "catch me"

Place me safely upon the ground
someone catch me, i'm falling.....

She Used To
She used to revel in your touch
Become giddy when you were near
Fantasies adorned her thoughts
Thoughts of one she held dear

Now her skies are grey
Steel as a sword
Insecurities now abound
She feels desolate, worn

I hope you're happy with yourself
You cruel and selfish pig
Now she's crawling again
Unable to stand after your gigs

She tries to let love in
Consume her as once before
She finds it near impossible
She can barely get off the floor
I may love myself again, but how he made me feel the last of our ten years is a hard chain to break. Hopefully one day...

Clock
The clock is ticking
The only sound I hear
Silence is deafening
When the clock just sits there ticking
I need noise
The white sound is hurting my ears
Speak, speak now
Don't stay silent
That blasted clock ticking it's painful
tick-tock
Driving me insane
Speak now, don't hold the peace
#Speak #white-noise #clock

Darkman II
I went for a midnight drive
Going to one of my places to hide
Shadows lurk in the dark
Knowing what they are making their mark
Flashes of lightening in the distance
Illuminating objects for just a moment
Time is over, go back home
Turn on the lights, scared of what is shown
Where did this come from
This man in front of me
Heart beats fast pulling me out my reverie
He is dark, no face to be made
An evil laugh is what he bade
In one hand a scythe of dead
in the other holds a head
Without moving lips whispers hit my ears
*"Come to me now my evil dear
For here you shall no longer feel pain
I will take it away just like the rain
Once you are dead you'll be like me
Come to the darkness and see"...
Did go for a drive last night to ease my mind. That and the moon she was calling..

In the Breeze
I have cried a thousand tears.
I am now dry
You said you wanted me to hurt
You have done your aim
For my love for you will not cease
But yours for me now, in the breeze
I am now but a husk
A shell of what I was
For I have let you destroy me
You broke down my walls
So long ago
I felt secure with you guarding them
Then you turned
And I am now empty
Your love for me
Now forever in the breeze

Asystole
That day marked the end
The end of something beautiful
When you did not fight for me as I  walked away
Before I had  stayed and I fought
I begged and I pleaded
All of it was for not
I tried to revive
I tried to keep it alive
No matter how many times I compressed
No matter how many I gave of rescue breaths      
No matter how much voltage I shocked
It was no more to be
It took me a while to see
Even the biggest fools know you can't bring back asystole

Saturday Morning Ramblings
If only I could paint the picture I see before me with my words
The skelatous tree with the black birds sitting upon its naked branches
The church in the background with its steeple all majestic, showing there is light in darkness
The cold breeze singing thru the dead leaves that have haphazardly fallen to the ground  
In the distance hearing the noises of those hustling around in this early morning chill
The pigeons and blue jays singing good morning to all who care to listen
The morning sun, hazy in the sky, attempting to warm the earth from its winter chill
Oh, if only I could paint this picture with just my words
But no words can honestly paint such a masterpiece that has been placed before me
Beauty in the simplest of things

From the fire
Her skin charred so
She rises from the ashes
Her beauty to again be unmatched
She is the Phoenix
Watch her soar

I Remember
When I peed on the stick
Nervous butterflies wracking my insides
We tried for two years
But this time felt different

I remeber when I again checked the stick
This time trying for only 4 months
Could it be possible
2 years for the first, 4 months for the second

I remember the first kicks
Both little tumblers inside me
My bladder was the trampoline

I remember the first pains
Were these the real deal
More false alarms
Not this time, they're not stopping

I remember the first cries
Not little mews
Big belted full of life
I cried too

I remember when I held you both
The first time was like a slice of heaven
Little bundles searching for food
Then opened eyes and recognition set in

I am your mommy
Welcome to this harsh world
I will protect you
Shield you as best I can

I vow to let you live
Learn from your mistakes
Be there when you fall
Be there when you rise

I am your mommy
I will never leave
I love you
So much love I never knew I could have
My boys have birthdays coming up this month and next. You never know true love until you see your child...

All Cannot be Lost
Let loose among the night
The words longing to hear
Achingly empty
feeds the despair

A silent prayer
Shouts above the din
from it night birds and insects
Scatter to the wind

Discarded into the stars
A secret wish
Set upon constellations
unreaching, begins to mar

Searching the answer seeks
Carried by wind
To one left wanting
*who's cries are shrieks
324 · Oct 2016
Alone
The flames are gone
Ashes left to scatter
By the wind of change
No ember here remains
The spark I once saw
In my own reflection gone
I am the ghost of my dreams
One who's hollow and gaunt
Happiness is not for me
Trust and security washed away
Love is just a dream
Loneliness is what beckons
Reclused in my solitude
Walls will be built
Pain will leave
Suspicion will reign
Alone I will forever be

Words on Paper
Words on paper
That's all I write
Nothing more to give insight

Words on paper
That's all it is
Do not fashion my words more than this

I do not write from my heart
My brain and it
They stay apart

My brain and my body
They go hand in hand
Searching the Internet for words to become 
The Google master of this land

For if my brain and heart
Decided one day to not be apart
What a horrifically sad poem they'd write
How then just one word
Would bring a tear to the eye

So words on paper
That's all I will write
Until my eyes grow heavy
Till I succumb to the night

Words on paper
That's what I will do
*For I will not waste my heart's words
Lamenting over you
Just words....right?
#lament #words #you #mind #heart

Monologue...
Memories, how strange they are. One moment they are true, concrete. You feel as though you can grab it and relive it all again as it was the first time. As you are drifting inside of it, you change a look, a word, a carefully placed step. You changed it. The original now gone forever. That magical moment that sent the fires of fervor through your veins, the flames now snuffed. Instead of desire lurking from their eyes you instead see doubt. The memory carries on but now, now you wonder...did they truly mean what was being said? Their confessions of love and lust that were spouted from the lips of passion, the ones that could quench your thirst..was it real? Memories are meant to last a lifetime... So why then must our brains change it? Why must we then doubt our lovers? It is as though our minds cannot be grateful for the love that is present...
The mind is a tricky sob..

Never Have I Ever
Never have I ever
Heard truth pass from man's lips
I do not care how
Beautiful you make your quips

One may say to another
Beautiful you are
Then turn around
and lust for another

One may say
I shall never do that again
Turn around
Same mistake the following weekend

I have found actions speak louder
You speak what you may
The proverbial untruth
For what is real is in what
With your words you do

For never have I ever
Heard truth pass from man's lips
But have seen truth
Man's words in action
Act upon your words!

Honey
Her voice is honey
Deep inside the hive
You're being stung
Each time she moans and writhes
With every little quip
You want to go deeper
But the stings will not quit
So you let her **** you dry
Till you cannot take anymore
Then you ignore her
Hope it goes back to before
But you are addicted
This honey she let's you taste
You keep going back for more
Knowing the pain in the stakes
You want to quit her
As she does so with you
But this will not happen
The two have become infused
Try as you might
You cannot quit her call
Her honey voice is a drug
In which you've become enthralled

She Survived
Her father beat her when she was young
She survived
It became easier everyday to forget
she breathed

She lost her brother as a teen
Watched her mom die a little
She survived
It became easier everyday to dull the pain
she breathed

She left the abuse of her first love
She survived
It became easier everyday to overcome
she breathed

She understood when the love was gone
She came to resolve and left
She survived
It became easier everyday to let go
*she breathed
Just breathe. It gets better.

The Dance
Slowly we dance
You and I
Round and round we go
In a cadence of to and fro  
  
Never seeming to take that step
The final one that forces us
to take that
Chance        

A tango here
A waltz so fair    
A rhumba or two
One between me and you

Our steps are sure
The space we do keep
The chance between us
We dare to not let meet    
      
The fear we keep
In our sway of chance
Both afraid of what will happen
If we don't let fear keep the lead

A other measure has gone by
We've gotten closer
But backed away
instead of giving chance
At least one try

Paso Doble is now in swing
This chance of ours
The bull in the ring

Slowly, confidently
We stride to the center
Fear grips our minds
As we finally find each other

The chance is now ours
We take it by the horns
Fear be gone
Now love will soar
This one has a happy ending. I'm still dancing with mine. May we both one day grab that chance.

Pick Me
Pick me
    Pick me out of the throng of women
    The chaotic crowds
    This diamond in the rough

Choose me
     Choose me to lay beside you at night
     One whose demons need slayed
     Who will fight by your side

Love me
     Love me and you will see royalty in us
     I your queen, you my king
     Together we can rule this love

Pick me
      Choose me

As I sit here on this second day of the new year
I ponder and reflect on my past year
So much has changed
I have grown, I am not the same
Reality hit me early on
A love that was supposed to have last was dead, gone
Two people with two children together could not stay
Now our children the price they'll pay
I worry that they will forever be scarred
That their sweet innocence forever marred
How one year can change everything
Including a marriage that was to last eternity

I am a stranger
In a familiar place
Four walls surround me
I know no longer their face

Upon the counter
Objects galore
What once was familiar
They're now obscure

This used to be a safe place
A refuge from the storm
Now it's nothing
A shape, a form

This is what happens
When emotions collide
Deny what they want
Pain never subsides

Gentle Not
Go gentle with me, it's my first time
No, I'm no ******
But with you, I'm straight from the vine
Caress me tender, but keep it rough
Don't break my heart, just scruff it up
Don't let my tears fall down like rain
Let them instead come out in blood from your veins
Don't let me sob into pillows breast
Let me die peacefully inside your chest
Be gentle with me and yet so strong
Keep trying to show me why we are wrong

Cicadas (part 2)
The cicadas are gone
The story has been told
And so she waits
To see what now will unfold

In the dim of twilight
With the air turning cold
She sits with bated breath
To see if her world does fall..
Who the hell do you think I am
I am no longer that little lamb
No longer led to slaughter
This time I will not falter
Call me out I dare you
Watch as I push on through
Gloves are coming off
When I'm done you won't scoff
You'll lay there in your own blood
I'll be standing over you with my gun and slug
**** with me dare double dog
This stick on you I'll flog
I may be little but I have might
****** you just called my ***** out to fight
I'll flip your world till you can't stand
I'll take you for everything, you're not a man
A whiny ***** is what I see
Upset you can no longer control me
So shut the **** up you little ****
It's about time to take what you give
Karma has been waiting in the wings
So bend on over and take what she brings
He's decided to hire a lawyer 4 days before the divorce is to be final. He now wants to contest. ****** has no idea who he's ******* with.

ps. Sorry for the language

Junkie
I cannot quit
I am a ******
in need of her fix

No matter how hard I try
To stop what I'm doing
this will be the last time

I cannot help myself
My fingers itch
i cannot just put it on the shelf

My lips are on fire
My body an inferno
quenched only with his touch, kiss

He is the drug I'm not ashamed to chase
My nights are lonely without him
*this ****** needs his embrace

Dozen on the Dime
Men will come a dime by the dozen
But you in my life
You're not one of them
No, you're more
I don't know how much more but yes
More to me than you could ever see.
Ever know
And I want you back, I need my friend my lover back into my life
Don't deny it, I think you want the same
You can't help but put your fingers to the keys and respond to my words
You can't help but talk of future after we're done sweating out the nights alcohol
I told you once, I don't forget
I remember the words you say
I remember the games you try to play
I won't let you forget
I'll keep after you until you jump the ship
You'll have to delete me from every part of your life
I don't think you can
I think my blood is now on your hands, in your veins
That's where I am, that's where I'll stay
You can't outrun me even if you tried
But that ok
Because men come a dozen to the dime
#jump #ship #dozen #dime #in your veins #goodbye

Raven
I peered into the eyes of yesteryear
Into the depths of the sky
I saw a raven flying high
It hovered looking me in the eye

It showed me the past crystal clear
It showed me the present
That I don't want to see
It showed me a future
Of what is will
Another of what can be

Unblinking it soared
Into the great unknown
Taking with it a part of me
Leaving me here alone

A fortnight has passed
And still I see
With crystal clear eyes
The past of what was yesteryear
The path of future is mine
Yes, the future is mine....

Chesire Moon
The moon wears a Cheshire grin tonight
Beckoning me down the rabbit hole
Her pull on me strong as the ocean's tide
I cannot help but go

I jump freely into the abyss
Looking only down, never right or left
I do not need to see what passes by
The words I hear, for I am not deaf

As I fall whispers caress my mind
Spoken words of love, longing, and lust
They are the things I must learn
For to court the dark side I must

The fall has ended, my feet firmly on the ground
There is no light here, all grey and gloom
But in the distance I do see a glow
Here from the dark side of the moon

First I must court the dark side
Attempt to help it find the light
All of this stemming from
The moon's Cheshire pull of the night
Only half her face was showing the other night. Instead of a frown, a smile was there.

Unseen
She strolls the green fields
With mist trailing in her wake
Looking for something
What she knows not

A dream pulled her
To this misty green
Searching for something
Possibly something unseen

He mounts his steed
Kicking him hard in the flanks
Racing to somewhere
Leaving the known in his wake

A dream pulled him
To mount his dark steed
Searching for something
Possibly something unseen

Into the forest they both went
Unknown to eachother
In a clearing
That's where they met

Her hazel eyes shone in the moonlight
Beneath hooded lashes dark
His steed glistening from sweat
As he dismounts in the forest dark

Unknowing what to speak
They let nature take the lead
They have found what was unseen
Under the moons twilight gleam

Rose red lips
Sink deep into calloused ones flesh
Leather hands became velvet
As he held her close to him

Their moment of ecstasy
Lasting till the twilight tall
They heeded the dreams
They heeded fates call

Her a lowly chamber maid
Him a high prince
Came together for just one night
Of the unseens presence
What do you do in the unseen?

My....
My legs are burning

        for they are not around you

My lips are dry

        for they are not against yours

My ******* are aching

       for they are not in your hands  

My ears are ringing

      for they are not hearing your voice

My eyes are closed

   for they know you are not in front of me

My hands they tingle

      for they are not touching you

My mind stays numb

      for it is not sparring with yours

My body trembles

      *as it waits in anticipation of us again

War
War
Sitting, staring at the document
Laid bare before me
Letters turning into words
Into jargon
My mind hurts to read
It should not be like this
The pain that accompanies
Years lost, gone
Words mocking
Words of terror
Rising anger inside
Heart breaking
*"Corey, this is as though we are preparing for war"
"We are. It has begun"
"And we are but it's pawns"....
The date is closer. Lord help me to stay strong in this "war"
