I'll be the bold bogey of your bedroom
as I turn your inhibitions to ash
with hard, feminine truth
on fire
And
with your trust
we will indulge
in breaking fears
by breaking bad

Out Of Body
As you release my hands
and bring me back
down onto the cool sheets
(how can they be cool after what we've done on them)
give me your word
you'll make it happen again

The Freedom To Scream
I'll enforce your
peace of mind
as I phase you
out of control
Both safe
and lost
in your body

Circle Back
A randy kiss
amid the prose
Are we daft
to dream
of poetry

Peace Bandit
It's too late
to be a victor
Too much too long in the past
to be objective about
But I could be
a bandit
stealing a little joy
in what I could do
and forgetting the worry
over what I couldn't do
that killed me
Finding a little peace
in thievery

Reverse The Yes And No
I'd throw my heart into reverse
and use all the control I learned
over my voice to say
"No, thank you"
and walk away
to so many
and to so much
leaving room in my heart
to sing
"Yes"
and run my fears over
as I sped forward

Silent No More
Oh you'd be willing
to reckon with the pain
if what came after
made you throw yourself
against the wood of the headboard
slipping
wet with shock and desire
and then let loose a wail
never before heard in your bedroom
of passions and pleasures
all the desires
that refuse to hush in the night

Beyond Bone Dry
My immature intimacy
drew me to a charming user
who definitely knew what to do
and said just enough
to keep me bound to him
until he didn't
and cut us apart
It's not my heart that bled the most
It was my trust
So I never allowed myself
to feel it fully again
with anyone
including myself
For I was empty of trust
in myself
I had bled out
and never replenished the source

Entitled By Our Humanity
Between the temperature
and the fever
lies a voluptuous drink
sunken beneath social niceties
and learned inhibitions
that we must peel away
slowly
together
until we can get drunk on the pleasure
we are entitled to experience

Empty Pages In Empty Books
If a day were a chapter
her life would be
a long, boring book
full of pseudo dark
and zero zen
There's not enough alcohol
to lube your innards
for a plow through this
More could have
than did
and many blank pages
like a diary gifted
and never used
An unpublished, titleless, autobiography
as no one would buy
"An Empty Life"

The Opera Is Not Haunted Because There Is No Ghost
I never heard him
singing in my sleep
He never
entered my dreams
Not a father
not an angel
not a ghoul
Just a man
with nothing to celebrate
outside of his imagination
Damaged soul
from the beatings
over and over
by humanity's inhumanity
leading to a distorted face
No mask to hide his injuries
so deep
they leave no outward scars
but seen as clearly as a full moon at midnight
He is the abyss that stares back
the void that screams
and the darkness
that desperately wants a friend

Drunken Joy Drinkers
Can joy come oozing out of someone
like liquor from a broken tap at a favorite pub
Someone will see it
and take it
right beneath the owner's blind gaze
No visor to protect one's eyes
from the will of someone
who must drink from your pores
to get drunk
They are a magnet
drawn to those who create fusion
from within themselves
to live a life of fire
And they are the ones
who can ooze no joy
unless they blow out
someone's flame

Cloak Of God / Invisible And Loved
They don't function well
in society
barely used social skills
atrophied
No small talk edit button
Still
much life to survive
before they must meet their end
and get off
How to hide
and till interact just enough
to live comfortably
Shame there is no
cloak of god
to make one
talked at instead of talked with
not real yet believed real
invisible and loved

Paths To Glory
Forbidden glory
in a dead and distant world
distort reality here
A forlorn fantasy
cut into the flesh
with a deadly dull knife
making the tale squirm
A syringe as sword
every injured glory hunter's
weapon of choice
Stab the skin
and rocket to that other world
never to return
One can hope
never to return

Truth Or Dare At Midnight
Let's get
delightfully
deliciously
dare I say it
dangerously
drunk tonight
and bring
our dastardly
dirty
little secret
out to play
and tempt our skin
to tell the truth

Our Lady Of Intense Suffering
An enormous gluttony
of victimhood
the patron saint of martyrdom
Hours, days, weeks, months, years
become lost in navel gazing self-sympathy
the patron politician of the pity party
Wallowing in loud self-deprecating laughter
to remind the world
to look

Red Queen Takes Black Knight
Follow me
down this secluded path
We'll create your armor along the way
a dragon's tooth
becomes a spear
the horn of a minotaur
your sword
My will turns all we need real
from legends, myths, and fae folk
At our journey's end
you will kneel
as I sit upon my throne
for every red queen
requires a black knight

Home Out Of Sight
You'd think
when there is no catastrophe
stamina would grow
and be stored away
Instead
will is chipped at so slowly
by the same days lived
all over and over and over again
that the ability to function calmly
becomes a lost art
and a misplaced key
turns into a cruel joke by the universe
and you forget
your own strength
begin to wonder
if you ever had any
until
you can not feel yourself
find yourself
because you are lost
in the rooms of your apartment
forever roaming
just out of sight

You Are What You Read
It is said that
to achieve pleasure
one must become pleasure
Not a chip off a diamond
but the whole carat
Sparkling bright and hard
A wealth of sensations
cast in a setting
of golden exploration
Be the quill
that writes a volume of sex play
with your sweat
on your lover's skin

Liquid Illusions
"A lonely day has turned
into an empty night
Don't want to slip
into unconsciousness yet
Don't want to end alone
Looking for someone to explore
and explore with
Find what is sensitive
between us
and stimulate that sensation
our bodies to bandage
each other's aloneness"
- slurred the drunk poet troll at the bar
looking for a Miss-Right-Now to boink tonight

Sense And Spirituality
Divination without the woo
but with the wonder
An element not super
but natural
Powerful not from belief
but in fact
Not destroying faith
but simply having no need of it
True in the sun
True in the night
Reality is all there is to teach us
and there is so much more to learn

The Swinging Between Tick And Tock
Squatting in the dust of their unused life
a thick river of lost time
watching the pendulum
a silver horse with a dark rider
accelerates
the sound of horses becomes louder
an old chant sung by the bells of every clock
light catches the black then is gone
like a star brightening then going out

Shadows And Dust
The voice of a stranger
cast a necromantic spell
and the ash of who I was
flickered
ignited
warmed
and I could feel
the burning
once again
But dead
is dead
and there can be no fire
where there is nothing left to burn
5-May-2024

Cravings
Spring sass
Summer serenity
Fall fantasies
Winter wisdom
I want all of you
all year
Love rays in your sunlight
Most of all
I desire
Sit with me in the dark
and share the secrets of your shadows
Trust
At midnight
we'll hide our stories in the moonlight
and make lover
under the moon

Personhood Inside Pens
Learning inside languages
Maturity inside markings
Strength inside stanzas
Presences inside poems
Souls inside songs

Honey Witches
Sugar on my bones
honey in my marrow
licorice on my lips
tang on my tongue
skin slippery with sweetness
fresh fingers and tasty toes
So many of you
think beauty
is only for baking
a delightful dinner
leaving only an oven for offspring
How many of my sisters
did you feast upon
then throw into the fire
and watch burn
Honey deserves honor
or sweetness becomes savage
turning tables
with talons whet
we will take
our desserts

Day 75 of 100 #The100DayProject2024
Feasting At Your Fingertips
The honey on your mind
runs out of your pen
and onto the pages
making them my daily bread
You serve me at midnight
your beautifully baked bitterness
and
break my fast
with succulent sugary sunrises
To lunch upon your lovely lyrics
leaves my loneliness long in the past
and
to slowly sup on your smokey shadows
and engorge my evening with ecstasy
I would starve
without your sweet darkness
to feed upon
