An unmeasurable amount of thought
has gone into the analyzing of my being

And why it was my fault that night
I decided to provoke you to such animosity

That I was greeted to a storm of fingers
ripping the cloth from my chest and falling like petals

On your bedroom floor I whimpered, crushed
under the heavy weight of you, Lover

As the thing I knew not belonged to me, but to you
and "No" was the last word I had ever spoke again.
Very old poem.
Don't contact me about this, as it is a very touchy subject. It has taken me a lot of courage and strength to get over this event and even more so to move on and grow from it, and hopefully turn tragedy into a work of art.

you with an onion
in the palm of your hand
pulling back layers
seeing just who I am

removing the papery
outer shell
the flesh beneath
holding slight color tan

folding back the next
begining to understand
sweet juicy onion
cradled
in the palm of your hand

brave to peel 
the next layer
spicey as onions can be
a tear begins to form
a tear just for me

now you are intoxicated
as only an onion can do
you pull back again
translucent flesh
coming through

sweeter and sweeter
I become
as you genlty find my core
you've settled in
found your way
what a delectable
delicious score

WHY DIDNT YOU WARN ME THAT FALLING FOR YOU WAS LIKE THROWING MYSELF INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN WITH NO LIFE SAVER

Alarm Bells

Something's not right
I can't sleep at night
Dread at the pit of my stomach
Doubts, all stack on the rack.

In my mind, alarm bells ring
my heart knotted with strings
Whispers that you are not one,
That I should get away and run.

Turn back before I am left with nothing
or continue the free fall of uncertainty
My soul constantly screams for liberty,
at your mercy, I refuse to be.
Just a thought to liberate my mind.

The Noose

Imagination can take you
To explore avenues of grandeur
In spite of this
You cannot defer reality
Awaiting the grasp
Of the ends you desire
There is no defining moment
Where the puzzle pieces
Suddenly fit

The light we seek
At the end of the tunnel
Does not exist
Unbearably so
You have to create your own light
Embody it
Your luminescence will light your path
It’s an excruciating process
life
Devoid of restraint
All you can do
Is deliciously divine in
Into your heart’s darkest desires
And hope for the best

Time is fluid
Eternally in motion
Waits for no man.
