Strangers….
We have known each other years
And we still feel like strangers.
We know each others secrets and passions
And still we are strangers.
We have talked and shared many things
And still we are strangers.
I don’t want to be strangers anymore.
I want to be in your arms forever and more.
I want to feel your lips on mine
And hold you until the end of time.
Strangers we are, strangers ...
Dark Love .....
There has never been sunlight in this love of ours.
It's always in the dark.
It's a love that has thorns and draws blood when I try to hold on to it.
A dark Love that burns like fire.
A dark love that kills me slowly each passing day that we are so apart.
A dark love that makes me scream with want and desire for you.
A dark love that yearns to have you near me.
This love is...
Love…..
Your eyes are as black as coal.
Your skin looks pale from afar.
Your hair is black as night.
Your heart is cold oh so cold.
I see your dark eyes looking at me.
My heart aches to run to thee.
Through tears of blood I weep.
I want to run to thee and live in darkness.
They see you as a creature that only breaks my heart.
I see you as the one who holds my heart.

You tear me down with all your words
creeping closer with every breath
shaming me for all your wrongs
a shove won’t hurt
a point in the face won’t budge
but that smack wasn’t like another
Even worse when it’s from your own brother
when the time came
no fear I could show
when they said the word go
The lies I had to use
that benefit only you
A whisper you told, every time I obey
with a s...
With a smile, you promise to say nothing more
You slowly undress as I softly shut the door
Our eyes lock and we make our way to the bed
My mouth is salivating, as if I haven’t been fed
I kiss your neck and grab you by the hair
You slowly whisper in my ear “truth or dare”
Before I can reply, I find you on top
Looking stunning, I pray this moment never stops...
I was scared
At least give me that
I was tired
Worn down
And he
He was so sweet
So yes, I made a deal
One that I shouldn’t have
But you see
He promised respite
And at the point
I was desperate
I knew it was wrong
But his smile was so charming
And later on
When he introduced me to his friend
Addie
Well she seemed pretty nice too
So when he wanted to introduce
Me to one more person
I didn’...
Fragments of dark matter lay driven in my flesh. As I become superimposed on the barcodes of stars, where my passions may finally rest...
Leering behind the touchscreens of life. An alien model citizen, I conceal my strife. From one generation to the next, I’m dying free, surrounded by their mushroom clouds. Flowers of survived depravity, still mustering human sounds. In reincarnation I’ll stand ...
I’ve said this phrase a thousand times.
You say it’s a phase - but that’s a lie.
A million words - a thousand lines.
Nothing said - hell, that’s just fine.
I can’t write to save my life.
I just hand my pain the pen.
I can’t right a single line.
I can’t say that this piece is mine.
You say that I’m a piece of work?
You’re right - how true!
Gotta run, but I’ll see
you on the next line.
...
All alone in the room, I break to a cry,
I’m scared of the visions I saw in my dreams.
It comes with a boom, a crack and a whine,
I feel my intuition telling me to scream.
I let it out loud in a startling manner,
Though it feels good to finally let go.
Then I allow a look up to the sky,
Saw a face peering in and I yelled “no!”
The face has sharp, pointed, shiny teeth,
With blood and flesh overfl...
