My Muse, My Muse

#30in30 Poem 11 of 30

My Muse, My Muse

Your arms wrap around me
As you whisper inspiration
Into my ear. Into my soul.

Flesh tempted
Heart racing
Mind focused

I write your thoughts
Your desires
Your dreams rush through me
Your caress moving me
Inspiring my words

My hands flow across keys
Each letter a gentle touch
Just the right pressure down
Just the right pressure up

We are one in thought
One in purpose
One in vision
One in body

 

Death Creeps In

#30in30 Poem 10 of 30

Death Creeps In

I hate the permanence of death
Its ever present presence
Its stench distant, but ever closer
Creeping in like a fog

Like the faint light
Hours before sunrise

Time is being cheated
Minutes and seconds and years
Slip through my fingers
Like blood from a slit wrist

I struggle to seal the wound
To save my life
To have more time
For me. For them.

 

Victory’s Seed

#30in30 Poem 9 of 30

Victory’s Seed

A bad day’s triumph
Can quell the soul’s rage
And plant victory’s seed
To bloom another day

 

Love and Lust

#30in30 Poem 8 of 30

Love and Lust

Once chance is all that I need
Far from eyes that know and seek
Gluttonous lust beckons me
Fulfilled today the master’s feast

Conscience be silent and still
Peace has triumphed over will
Rest now my soul take thy fill
Breathe in the love lust did kill

Good Morning

#30in30 Poem 7 of 30

Good Morning

And I know this doesn’t mean
That it’s over.

It’s just one day in a
Multitude of years
One moment in a life

Between us both we’ve seen the tragedy
Raggedy hearts beat in unison but
Are worn down from years of neglect

The light still shines for you
Words pour from the soul for you
To express this truth for you

And it feels good to let you know
To show you the horizon ahead of us
The sun breaking the crest for us

Take note my love. Of the light.
For now it gets brighter. Each day
A little higher in the sky

Last night’s tears become
Today’s morning dew
Yesterday’s fears become
Hope born anew

And We Were Hit On the Left Side

#30in30 Poem 6 of 30 And We Were Hit On the Left Side My head fractures the glass at impact Screeching tires was all I heard before Shards of glass fill the car like The glitter in a snow globe settling Another impact from the right Starts us bending towards it Our arm reaching out to… Continue Reading

Sticks and Stones

#30in30 Poem 5 of 30 Sticks and Stones One simple word It fell from your lips Like a sack of flour From the cupboard To the floor The aftermath was the same Time froze as it teetered On the edge of your lips Tumbling to the ground Finalizing its deed With a deep heavy thud… Continue Reading

So Unkind

#30in30 Poem 4 of 30 So Unkind You seem to me to be quite unkind The kind of person without the time The time without a moment to spare To spare a moment with those who care I care about your lack of smiles The smiles would give me hope a while A while ago you… Continue Reading

Water Devours Paper

#30in30 Poem 3 of 30 Water devours paper In the end All that matters Is the contentment of The heart and mind In the past It all began With poisoned words Of love and bitterness Like acid to flesh Water devours paper Hearts and minds crushed As the tears flow down… Continue Reading

Spring

Mountain peaks overlook Scattered flowers spread Over plush green fields Like potpourri from The Almighty’s hand The descending breeze Whispers springs coming To all who long to hear… Continue Reading
