Summer
comes again
in strides
of heat
and the Sun
scorches
the concrete
streets
blurring
the passing
cars,
while the oak
leafs grow
darkest green
and darkest
brown,
a boy drops
newspapers
on every
porch and
an old man
in purple
beaten robes
picks it up,
a lady jogs
through
the morning
light
and more cars
pass by
blurred,
and
on the corner
brother, sister,
set their
lemonade stand,
little business
people,
the heat is tough
and a fan
grumbles inside
our home
and
I type away
on
the laptop
perspiring badly,
wishing to
turn on the A/C
but we can't
afford a
bigger
electric bill,
I need a drink,
or a nice
breeze at
the very least,
one
cool
Summer breeze.
2013. Just wrote this one.

An exotic orchid, of the mountains, her smile was scented invitation  
a jocular honey bee, elated by  her fragrance, than nectar, he was.
Covered all over with her pollen , he felt fulfilled, an instinct deeply hidden. prompting.
"To me memories are to be perfect" said, the handmaid of whimsy
"But when I am gone" sighed she "None will ever remember me"
he too felt sad, doleful was her mood and the words,
he fell silent , thought for a long moment and replied:
"Let me be candid about this, though to your  fragrance I've given my heart,
unless the offer of honey is implicit, why should I come searching for you?
We both give and take too, that's the prompt of nature true,
we can't help it, that's why we do; more than that all nature decides"
The flower stood mute and wistful, then serenely smiled,
it was time for them to part, the wind whistled its sly message.

broken church
sins drowning veins
breathe like silence won’t pull you down
torn dignity spinning you away

                        your body isn’t love

children inhale battered minds
like it’s an inhaler
but it won’t save them
it won’t pull these waves
from my flesh
and stop my little lips
from smiling at death

I dream of your sweat
when we’re entangled

but your thoughts are vile
and my bones don’t need you
filthy
bloodied
broken churches

A little something I threw together using my "words" page; thought I'd put it to use.

I was always on my knees for you
but never once did you think of
throwing my legs over your shoulders

Nights like these make miracles seem like a bunch of ****.
When everything feels out of reach and the right one is in his.
That's when it hits like a ton of bricks.
We were little, we were losers
and only liars, never lovers.
Our exaggeration needs no explanation,
I see what you want to get from this.
Congratulations for my aggravation,
I'll try to ignore your ignorant bliss.
Everything you wanted from me
was everything I wanted to be.
Now I just want to be home,
but there's no place like that any more.
All I have is alone, you know,
I feel like there really is no front door.
