Wet heat
Filthy teeth
Fantasize
Open wide

Tongue-in-cheek
Burning sheets
Biting lips
Dessert me

Aching knees
Begging please
******* flesh
Your remedy

For the world,
To see what is
To see what is not

Figures frozen
Muted, untouched
A clock that never stops

Time again,
Time undone again
Again

Again and
Again

Broken and shelved

This poem lay ruined
And why you ask
If the potential was there

Cause I’m invisible
And your eyes are only there
If the opening is strong

And reflects the angst
Inside your heart
Blood smeared on the screen

Inky pools
Cradling the shadow
Of the starlit moon

Perfection fetched
From the crevices of eternity
Unbounded and unexplored

Ensconced, warmth
Solitude but more
Peaceful tides

In even the shallows
Of the unknown

In a sense...
I thought I knew who I was
But I only knew myself in that time
All these years have faded the familiar lines

You never step in the same river twice.

In the wind,
Etched in fire,
There's only desire

Shout
Crack
Boom

Purple
Black
Blue

Red
Thump
Dead

Weightless
C­ome back up
Gasp
Air
Thick with dread

Water flowing
Gills adapting
Stomach
Hurling
Eyes flying
Wide open
Shut.

Desire etched in hard lines
Hollows cradle broken dreams
Reservoirs of sunk treasures lost to time

And I question:

What is life when
It hands you a glimmer
And then takes it away

When is success when
Your bones are tired
And the bills still wait

Who is society when
The standard is this
And you are that

Where is human when
Some die from consuming too much
And others die from consuming too little

How do we change when
Power is a drug
And doped addicts run the show

Why are you here when
It's clear meaning is undefined
And the responsibility is yours?
