breaking moans
slick as stones
force of my
savage form

dipping my fingers
in a lake of cotton and honey
a marvel, the way the moon
reflects my absolute need

it's funny, how i become
a beast when i cannot choke back
the tension

oh the tension, the retention of all
thoughts from this week
why must my ecstasy be a secret
that i have to keep?

~•§•~ Consumption ~•§•~

A flicker of hope
Can light up a room
Or light the abused fuse
Of the next round of doom
Nothing's off limits here,
Seemingly not now,
Though known to many yesteryear
"I don't want to assume,
So what won't it consume?
The people
And nature,
The planet,
The moon?"
It's all going to shiit
It's confusing now
But can't talk about it...
...it's always too soon
So I sit in despair
For death I dare swoon
What I want
And what I want
Threaten to draw at high noon
Center stage of a one man show
Left to dance the art of war alone
Under the light of a pale moon
As both lover and goon
Hoping it'll all be done soon

Happiness

Pulled happiness towards myself
                                       Held tight
                                       Grips loosen
                                      It sways away

Pushed sadness back
                             Beyond reach
                             Kept pushing
                             It recoiled

       Emotion is best left
           As an untouched pendulum
           Moving freely within my experience

To Surviving Young Poets

Talented young poets are in short supply,
So what shame it is to see a talent die.
I see the sparkle fade,
Disenchanted by doubt.
Please keep writing,
We are in need.

Art doesn't need correction, it needs improvement, innovation.

An Aching Cocoon

****** was like speeding through a euphoric galaxy.
Completely unburdened by mundane reality.
My mind dreams deep, but far from sleep.
Desire drenched lips bring my naked petals a dew of bliss.
Abandoning myself to you is a sweet intense insanity.
As you stare at the center of my soul
Devouring my untold.
In an aching cocoon in the garden of my heart.
The caterpillar of never, becomes butterflies of the deepest pleasure

glow in the dark

the phosphorus beat of hearth and lap and love
of ambrosia made mother sung
the phosphorus beat of snug lure
and depth inviting

Remembering Eternity

Her skin was smooth like butter cream.
Luscious entry to his dream.
Begging, pleading to be tasted.
To be pasted,
all over the walls of his thoughts.
Her heart's city of inhibition crumbles and falls
Her black lined eyes, alive and iridescent with haunting desire.
With a slow ache and burn like torches of fire.
His breath through the soft dark.
Was a gentle gale into her farthest parts.
His whispers ferociously and sweetly
swarm her heart.
Lips taste like destiny, remembering eternity.

I combined two poems to create this one.

Aching Through Eternity

Aching through eternity.
How can you feel so heavy
yet so empty?
Simultaneously.
Stone lead hearts
and soul black holes.
Trees ache for the riot
of supple leaves.
Aching wants
are not aching needs

I acutely ache for the return of me.

Empty deny's aching to be full.
My heavy thoughts dream
of veins of empty peace.
Nature's beauty aches to be.
Every single ache,
is a different want and a
different need.

I believe an ache can last an eternity...
