Do you remember when they said,
'Don't worry. There are no monsters
under your bed.'?
They were right.
The monsters moved from imagination
under your bed
to reality
in your head.

A soft word on parted lips
Gentle, warm and moist
Chocolate brown eyes that understand
Light kisses against my skin
that hint at something more.
I feel her laughter that bubbles forth
and we're both smiling,
it deepens and an unspoken tension
flits between us, luring and tempting.
begging to do more.
My lips part willingly for her
And I taste her on my tongue.
She is sweet and glowing against me.
The heat rises and ebbs,
touches become wanton and frantic
I plead with her to give me my desire.
wish granted
sleep stole over her after the deed,
but I am wrapped in her and awake.
My fingers slip through her hair,
at some attempt to tame it.
Giving up, I chuckle
and kiss her.
Just her.
Her forehead, her hair, her nose, her eyes, her cheeks.
And lastly her lips.
My love and my life
*how I love you.

Reach out to the corner of darkness
in your mind
Wrap it around you
It is your shield from the illuminant
From the fake, shiny and perfect
Break away and turn inwards
Towards your pain,
            your twisted,
     your imperfection.
Nobody knows of the red and the black
Of the glint and the pulse
Nobody but the voices and the broken.

Rough lines,
a torn heart,
a gentle touch.
Changed air,
unhidden feelings;
intensity.
Tears fall,
veiled face.
A broken body
in strong arms.
A soft kiss
on smooth skin.
A smile revealed
and feelings repaired.

Warmth pools around you
Look around and see that it's night
"You're sad, I know" it says
Cradled to safety
Protected from hurt
Kiss me goodbye
I'm off tonight
Fake a laugh, fake a smile
Save a tear, lose a love
Black and broken
Red between the lines
Claw yourself to shreds
A broken tide on shore
See the pain and lies
The shouts, the fights
The silence of the mind
The voices inside
Insanity breaks
Crawl away to die

a Dark promise
A smooth mouth
Words fall to honeyed poison
The want to touch
To feel the heat rise
(An elliptical ride)
A soft here and a rough where?
Damp breath and warm covers
Inexperienced dancer
Softly harsh against skin
A ward against sin
A movement slow
The rise and release
Dull, thudding pain
With a sharp twinge
(Walk it off)
Bruises form
Point and whisper
Heartbreak
A shattered dimension
Damage aspirationed
A toxic taste
With a damaged face

The empty street
It expands in front of me
The city lights
I dont know where they went
The buildings, tall and forlorn
Walk alone
Cracks in the ground
Broken bottles
a chuckle sounds out.
'cracks...broken'
a shadow whispered,
'how very much like your heart...'
