Roses round, warm, and red
Beaten blue; dough for bread
Love so harsh as his fists are rough
Lover so hurt as her soul was tough
Married for years ‘til death did they part
Smiling in tears; his death her fresh start

Waking softly inside my soul
Poison sweetly kills control
Creeping toward the surface slow
With heartstrings love and pain both sow

As raindrops meet pavement,
And propped on pillows elbows rest,
A blood rush to coy neck flush,
Under full moon, breeds blood lust;
A pair of tulips bridge new trust.

Falling from fear, us too,
With feelings heavy as clouds,
Slowly-panting-hip thrusts of pleasure
Furrows faces and sweaty brows
And upon long lashes hang dark shrouds.

Like soft pattering on the windowsill,
Firm bodies’ virility hands wish to reveal.
Kissing more intensely than heavenly
Droplets from sky hitting Earth’s dusty dirt,
Licking old wounds brings new meaning to hurt.

Surging like the sea; sails caught in this storm,
Crashing with the clashing of thunder,
Wrecked, yet we rest, two victims of flesh.
To love making love, to love death's caress,
Spills our seed in the soil with no hope left to spoil.

Drip drip drip
Consciousness stripped

Beat three times
Before the flat line

Stop, start, run
Can any save this one?

Life begins and ends
When death’s heel descends

Cry, hope, pray
That souls continue on their way

Jolt awake
Fall back in pain
A headache? No.
But a Heaviness drains.
Let sunshine in
See light burn harsh
Dull thud pounds blood
Eyes sting, tears flood

Stay awake
Fight back the pain
A stomach ache? No.
But a Sucker punch shames
Sit meals alone
Get full and starve
Dull thud pounds chest
Long hours, no rest

Sleep awake
Feel back in pain
A Body ache? No.
But a Body bag claims
Dream default happy
Love the melancholy
Dull thud pounds not
Heartache, for now, I forgot

In this drunken state,
Music blasting bones,
Joints shaken from dance,
Feelings, thoughts, and vision blurry
I feel free of my restraints
And I free myself to the world
Enjoying a moment to feel weightless
Enjoying a moment that never lasts

My lips burn as red
As this sky is blue
Your laughter was sweet
I leaned close to you

Sunlight shines bright
Green grass feels cool
Your smile was dorky
You called me a tool

White Clouds are fluffy
Birds fly by fast
Your eyes were gleaming
But those times have passed

Though sunlight shone bright
And green grass felt cool
That day in the park
We both played the fool

Life is not simple
Months may grow long
But as we grow older
We too become strong
