"Minds Collide"

I watched your words appear,
stumbling onto the screen.
Eager
Hot
Crawling under my skin.
Oh heat, heat
shine of sweat
above my lips.
I helped you seduce me.
We glowed
eagerness
typing on top of each other
like we wished to be.
Touching self with others hands.
Oh yeah,
there
now
now
Trembling fingers
wetly on the keyboard.

"Poet at Work"

Sitting in front of the empty screen,
drugged by cola and nicotine.
My fingers dancing on the keys.
The music throbbing.
The screen glares at me,
defying the poem to appear.
But the words flow,
sometimes right, sometimes wrong.
Black and white pain.
Poet at work again.

"Gray"

Sheet-metal gray,
the sky hangs accusingly.
Clouds dark with tears.
Bruising wind against my skin.
Inside my mind the thunder roars.
Lightning incandescent, glaring skies.
I walk, with unlit eyes,
drawing no notice
while inside
the storm rages.

"Heartbreak's Teeth"

Heartbreak nips at my heels,
baring sharp teeth.
A growl in his throat.
No longer able to ignore him
I turn and run,
hoping to lose him
in the dense cover of my life.
I hear his claws scrape,
feel his fetid breath.
Gasping
heart pounding,
I turn and face him.
Lifting my head
to expose my tender throat.
Pulse an exquisite invitation,
I yield to him.
As my blood pools on the ground,
I surrender completely.

"Honeyed Lips"

Trouble comes to me with honeyed lips
Licks me tender, so tender,
Blinded by the taste I fall, drowning
in the sweetness.
Love roars, deafens me, I'm lost in the noise.
Honeyed lips kiss my mouth - invade me
with tongue and wide eyes.
My body opens, yields - heart to open heart.
Honey pours on honey - fills his open mouth.
He drains me of my sweetness, saps me
of my strength.
Then Trouble comes to me with honeyed lips
And blinded by the taste I fall,
drowning in the sweetness.

"Serpent"

Evil-eyed serpent
compelling me with your seductive gaze.
Wrapped around me
with surreptitious intent.
Give me your forked tongue
and I will give you mine.
Hypnotic slitted eyes
drawing me closer
to divine seduction.
Little deaths, they call them.
You feel all powerful
as you enfold me in your coils,
but beware...
I bite.

"Erotic Picture"

You painted an erotic picture for me
your words like fingers down my spine.
I imagined the moment, the throb.
I warmed with the picture in my mind.
You painted with heat and power
and I began the trip inside
my mind where the colors glowed.
The red of passion, the white of heat,
the unearthly satin pink of warm skin.
Each brush stroke wide and flared,
each nuance delicately drawn.
You painted an erotic picture for me
and compelled by your artistry,
I fell deeper in love with the artist.

"Kissed A Dream"

I kissed a dream goodbye
with tears and silence.
Let it rise on lonely wings.
Felt the whisper of a wind
as it left my open hand.
Watched it's beauty fade 
in the dark sky.
Knew the pain of wisdom.
Felt the emptiness of loss.
I kissed a dream goodbye
with tears and silence.
Watched it disappear...
to never come again.

"Naked Eyes"

I come to you
my eyes naked
revealing all.
Hands trembling
you taste my insecurity
like virgin fruit in your mouth.
I smell your confidence.
It's an aura so bold,
you glow with it.
As I warm,
your aura softens, fades,
and mine grows.
Till entwined like serpents
you raise naked eyes to me...
And I smile, confidently.

"Love Ends"

Love ends quietly,
with a touch as soft as a caress.
You lay gentle words on my brow
and rip my heart without a sound.
I am numb, shock stills me...
Silences me.
Not even a whimper leaves my mouth.
As I stare with blinded eyes
at once was my world,
the blood inside me stops it's movement.
My heart dies without a tear, without a beat.
My body fractures like a goblet.
A million pieces fall, 
a soft, soft tinkle like a bell.
A pile of tiny shimmers of light
the only sign I was once alive.
