Tiredness creeping in
It's still the night
And I'm awake
She snores

The bell of St Paul's would be quieter
My cat on a zoom
The dog of next door rattling
Yet still
She snores

My eyes are wide open
These ears are all bled
The roof is all lifted
Yet still
She snores

The daylight is coming
The tweet from dawn birds
I'm so wanting sleep
Yet still
She snores

Oh please let me sleep
This madness fried eyes
Just one silent breath please
Yet still
She snores

Dawn has alarmed her
Was that all it took
I think I hear silence
Zzzzzzzzzz
He snores

The years
have washed away your face
and your touch
but,
they will never take from me
your lasting gift
of love.
Woke up to shovel snow in the rain
So cold and gray
Another day
Another day
Another day
All just the same
Still waiting for the warm
Waiting for the light of day

I climbed to her heaven,
hands bruised, heart bare.
She watched, untouched,
then vanished-thin air.

The steps collapsed,
love turned to farewell.
She rose to the light,
I plunged into hell.

If your thought was a sin,
Even hell is heaven to me.

You carry my heart between your teeth,
trapped in front of warmth and
bathed by breath.
Sharp incisors clenched,
piercing flesh, breaking surfaces.
Sweet red blood across
sweet red lips.
I might develop this into a longer piece later on??

valentine’s day came and went,
but i barely noticed—
too busy drowning in a loneliness
i can’t even name.
Gloom and doom —
Twins in strife.
What’s the world?
Plain as life:
Spread the fear,
Twist the lie —
Then, my dear,
Rule as swine.
