DUSK

bare trees seem to gather
along a purple fiery horizon
attentive and still
their envy turning from green to black
as they witness the sun's slow surrender
to the night's dark seduction

Hesperus: or girls in bars before closing

Her eyes entice you
Your lust wraps around her soul
She feels like your dreams

You Are Not Your Twisted Dreams

You are two people
Detached through silent self-loathing
Torn between flesh and fantasy
Nightmares tear your eyes from dreams
Tasting the flesh as you awaken
Aroused and *****
Frightened of who
Of what you're turning into
Praying you will not become
That sickening desire
Losing sight of the fact
That a dream is just a dream

Prove Me Wrong

There are times
When i wish
I wasn't always
Right

Rended

A heart so callused as not to feel
Scars too deep for wounds to heal
A soul of kindred spirit seeks
The one, the same, however meek
And so a rip in flesh began
And blood, down tattered souls, it ran
For one to feast on demons grown
Gnawing, both through flesh and bone
Crashing casings over pain
The scars are what the feast remains

Ashes, Dust, and Earthen Crust

The bouquet has no flowers
The stems have turned to sticks
There is no scent that lingers

It has long since faded on
Petals returned to earth as dust
Sticks crumble between fingers

The Necrotic Taste of Perfidy

It doesn't hurt because I love you
It hurts because I believed you

Born

Here We Are

Here we are
where we were
we talked
we fantasied
we had illusions about us

Here we are
where we were
we whined
we fought
we scared each other

Here we are
where we were
we kissed
we caressed
we made love

Here we are
where we were
we toyed with our hearts
we,us,our kisses were full of lies
we,us,our love perished
we drowned

Life Around the Clock

Time is an unkind shoulder
Unable to hold the tears it beckons
Unable to heal the wounds it creates

Time is a cruel teacher
Patience is a virtue learned through pain
Strength forged of necessity

Time is a blessing
Dulling blades
Smoothing jagged edges of emotion

Time lingers
Stretching each moment of joy into eternity
Holding memories in their most pristine state

Time is a universe in and of itself
Changing each second in length and perception
Teasing with it's flowing strength

Time is infinite in love
Lifetimes to eternity
Always and forever
As one

not forgotten, just not remembered

Long black hair
That frizzes in the heat
Eyes a chocolate brown
A gaze long since lost its shine
A smile that hides no pain
A sweet tooth
That won't be outgrown
Unlike cotton attire
A heart grows dull
And cries unnoticed
Behind that unseen frown
On a good day
She looks like a woman
Like any other
Like every other
Like no other
Like no one
On her best days
She is a cool breeze on a warm day
Unseen, unrealized
Noticed after she's gone
A scent
A feeling
The absence of
Nothing
