Tomorrow . . .

Deep within my heart resides a spirit of the wind

Seeking shelter from the pain that dominates my mind

Holding painful secrets that no one else can know

Feeling the pain of life yet the cracks cannot show

Winding slowly through my mind, the thoughts of yesterday

Tender moments shared with whom there is no decay

Feeling all the emptiness deep within to enable me smile 

Filling it with love and kindness for it to last a mile

The sting of failure can reach so far, no limit does it hold

Sometimes in the dark of night i feel its grasp unfold

A friend that has held me close and wiped away my tears

A kindred spirit, who has warmed my life and taken away my fears

Moments that i cannot share for fear of pain so deep

Misery encapsulates and causes my emotions to heap
In the early morning, right before the sun comes up

The tears that stain my pillow never seem to let-up

Hold my heart with gentle hands, it breaks so easily

Take the sunshine from the sky and place it tenderly

Hold your soul against my breast and feel the peace i seek

Share a piece of heaven with me today for life is just so bleek

#Warmth

This warmth she is feeling
Sends her heart racing
She doesn't want to let go
Is this love that she is feeling?

Gliding across her tenderness
His fingertips survey
This happened to her once before...
Its not safe to feel this way

The tenderness in his kiss
Will confirm the gentleness in his heart
She thought this fire went out
After all this time gone by

But yet, there is a burning
A craving for something she should not be yearning
Blinded and confused
In this muse called friendship

#Empty

In the shallow depths of my soul, darkness falls

Like roots of a tree, I search deep for nourishment

A feeling of being abandoned, like a child on a doorstep

My inner-self has a deficiency

Don't tell the living my feeling
A feeling of being used and discarded, like tissue on a sad day

The need for someone in my life

It feels like a fight I can't win

Hurts to let nothing near

In pain reality is embraced 

Black is my soul, hollow is my heart, cold are my fingertips 

Visions of you are always with me, enveloping me, surrounding me, suffocating me, making me blind from life, as I once knew it

Tell me why

We are but transient souls in this existence

Throwing away that which was given as a blessing 

That which is not made of stone

Our tears reminding us we have lost our way

Yet we struggle to keep from dying when all is lost

Opting for complexity when love should be simple

The heart doesn’t endure that which makes it sad

Warning signals we ignore as we pray diligently

For that which has no cure

We shape our lives on the tangible things of today

Letting go of adventures which bring so much bliss

Shaping what is our doom to obtain society’s nod of approval

Life should be a dance of happy feet and unending smiles

A rhythm of two kindred spirits soaring above the mundane

Not of plans to fulfil what is expected from us or by us

Fix You

I awake, my mind still dazed with sleep

The sight of her in peaceful slumber

warms my heart like she was my creation

Her eyes veiled tight in mystery

Maybe in some wistful dream

or joyful pasts remembered

I'll be gone before the dawn comes

No traces left behind

No way to go back and make this illusion real

I feel her body warm and soft

Her hot breath makes me tense

This moment, i'll remember

The door is gently opened

One more step and I am gone

Things could have been so different

In the words of Cold Play

If you never try

You will never know

With one last look, I close the door

my defenses fall, I cry

" i'll love you till the end," I say. . .

Make believe

I dream of you being with me 

on a mundane day

as our fingers wrap around interlocked

a place of warmth

I dream of you being with me

on a beautiful morning

as the sun fills heat into all that is living

a place of life

I dream of you being with me

on a beautiful evening

as we sit across each other having dinner

a place of love

Rambling rants. . .

Rambling rants of a disturbed mind

The brother they had was one of a kind

Rambling rants of a sister cursing

Painted smile she has been rehearsing

Rambling rants of a family heartbroken

In their eyes no words need to be spoken

Rambling rants of a man long gone

A prayer for his soul and memory they mourn

Rambling rants of a tenebrous day lurking

The undeserving gift of life in others abhorring

Frozen Wounds (RIP George)

On scattered streets of old memories

Where shadows of previous frozen wounds thaw

This darkness of uncertainty is filled with dried perplex moments

Isolated mind now nomadic

Hidden pain in the form of anger erupts

With each uncontrollable tear I ask the Most High why?

Needing wanting begging

For God to justify the taking of my brother's life

I shed tears with consistency on this doomed path of destiny

Confused distraught and angry

Happiness no longer has a home in this vacant heart

The emptiness now resident bleeds for aesthetic sense of togetherness

Affairs of the Heart . . .

I stand transfixed gazing out

Handful of stars fill the sky

As thoughts of her flow

My chest tightens

Heart pounding with love

I swear to God, she is my it girl

Her emotions a labyrinth  

Knowing inside there is no quick fix

Calmness gained as I bat my eye lids

With each embrace imagined

A smile draws across my face

As images of her blossom momentarily 

There are no doubts

The love we bask in will be worth while

Steady to calm her fears, and brush away her tears 

For a lifetime

With faith and open arms, I wait

No set date, no set time

Delusion

I am caught in the streams of delusion

Rescinded to the guise of submission to love's direction

Lost in the quest for acceptance in the reality of rejection

A reflection of a love once shared

Created in unbridled fears as I remember countless times of negativity

The absence of devotion triggers streams of concatenated words and painful recollection

Affection diminished to oblivion

Crippling my thoughts with its paralyzing fright

The beauty of love fails to hold any future but the shadow of hope and honest redemption

Dreams descended to bottomless pits of confusion

A heart breaking experience leaving behind its debilitating stains

I remain captured by a grimace of surprise to a mirage reminiscence of you

Wilting. . .

The sun is hiding

Its warmth from the shade

The moon is dying

And starting to fade

No stars twinkle

In this world of black

Can't go forward

Can't go back

Here forever

Tomorrow is today

In a standstill

I've lost my way

Quietness echoes

Vibrations of screams

Never ending

Or so it seems

Emptiness shares

Loneliness my friend

This is eternity

My beginning, my end

Bliss!

A consuming love

filled with unrestrained desire

You've tapped into my darkest secrets

I count the days until I see you again

My heart pounds strong in your presence

Waiting impatiently for the next adventure

You've tested my limits

and taken me beyond what I believed was ordinary

I am blissfully exhausted

but so ready for more

Lifeless

I have seen our love

on the cold damp floor

in the darkest of rooms

lying in a pool of blood

still as my broken heart

and I approached it

I knew...

softly ...a kiss

a pause

a tear

a touch

caress

still nothing

once a love shared

now abandoned

alone, dying

cold and grey

only hope

a wish, a dream

could find it again

and awaken

this lifeless mass

I weep sometimes

I lay myself at it's side

and wait...

time will pass

and so will I

waiting..

wanting

hoping. . .

#WhenItRains

Inch by inch more of me penetrates
Sweat trickling and bodies are in a state of fusion 
#WhenItRains

You touch me in warm places making me all moist
Wanting nothing more than to make you own me 
#WhenItRains 

Bliss you feel when i gently bite your ear lobes
Placing feather kisses all over your back 
#WhenItRains 

Bodies interwoven like tapestry
Yearning for more of this high I make you feel 
#WhenItRains

Angled is ur butt off the bed
My hands firmly planted on your hips 
#WhenItRains

Lord! You scream as I sail through uncharted territories
You cringe and pray this moment never ends 
#WhenItRains

Hold me, touch me, kiss me, soothe me, fuck me!
Just do it again and again and again flooding my gates with your stiffness
#WhenItRains

Smack it, tease it, own it 
For this moment in time my body yields to your every whim 
#WhenItRains

My lips sucking on your toes 
My hands warming their way down your thighs 
#WhenItRains

Tingle tingle tingle as your mind welcomes every touch I bring 
Your heart and soul in a place of pure solace 
#WhenItRains

It will take everything to keep your mind off me 
For #WhenItRains you would want nothing more than to share this space in time with me

Comforted

Conversations stumble in silently as I awake
Mind seeks comfort in the arms of my heart
Neglected eyes flutter and tears form slowly

My sanity spins a web of complications
Presenting truths in unprescribed doses
Seeking solace deep within an infinite vacuum

Poise paralyzed by my wounded spirit
Unwilling to let go completely and feel
This pain sends me on a tangent far from reality

Faith is poisoned by the reality of the scars I adorn
Stumbling silently into an abyss of unknown consequences
Pursuing comfort no longer guaranteed in this stratosphere

When I am gone. . .

When I am gone the idea of me is all you will have 
When I am gone the time we shared will not fade that easily
When I am gone the random sound of my name in will make you turn 

When I am gone your affinity for me will be exponential
When I am gone your love for things we shared will fade 
When I am gone your desire to let me in will confuse you 

When I am gone I will just be words from some random stranger 
When I am gone I will no longer have the power to make you smile
When I am gone I will miss the ability to have made this a reality

When I am gone the universe will conspire to make you want me    
When I am gone the laughter we shared will fill your heart with pain  
When I am gone the need to be loved will be ignited in ways unimaginable

Through her eyes. . .

Through her eyes lies a victim of a love once promised
Through her eyes tears once formed now hold an icy gaze 
Through her eyes rears disappointments of a shattered relationship

Through her eyes hades is reincarnated in every man she attracts
Through her eyes pearls must be formed in the depths of hell 
Through her eyes lives a woman scorned through your affair 

Through her eyes blues serenade every cloud of bliss you bring 
Through her eyes ambitions crown her desire to be far from you 
Through her eyes assurances of a brighter tomorrow fade like a mirage 

Through her eyes glasses shield her need to be comforted 
Through her eyes stars lost their shine the moment you let her down 
Through her eyes excuses will not shepherd you back into her warmth

Through her eyes Jesus has been deaf to every prayer she put forth 
Through her eyes pretence is really how she keeps it all together  
Through her eyes things come and go and her heart no longer yearns 

Through her eyes precious is that she can hang and hold on to
Through her eyes lessons from the past never prepared her enough
Through her eyes reckless has been everyone she opened up to 

Through her eyes strays someone real she doesn't want to disappoint
Through her eyes begs the need to be adored and celebrated 
Through her eyes ushers a phoenix that might be ready to love again. . .

Love through another's eyes . . .

Morning breaks and the sun radiates my window
I awake and begin my day afresh with thoughts of you
A hint of soft azure as I melt under your loving gaze
The sound of your voice lulls me into a heaven of safety
I am comforted in your arms as faith ignites my soul

Adrift in the throes of days without you
Yet you roam within my thoughts infecting me innocuously
Reminding me yet again of the joy you bring to life
Day begins a turnpike maze of wanderings
The murmur of my meandering heart whispering thoughts of you

A splash of illusive cologne dissolves into my mirage
And efflorescences into a perfumed bouquet that is you
Memories of the night before keep hounding leaving me in smiles
Sky transforms into a velvety ebon evening with the passage of the day
To be lit in the next few hours by the words honey I am home . . .

When it rains . . .

Still is the air of the night
Hushed is the voice of it's passage
I miss you

Loud is the rain pouring onto my roof
Midnight hours chime out the wind's lonely call
I need you

Cold is the feel of my sheets
Yearning for your presence to warm this night
I want you

Our first kiss. . .

Enchantment precipitated through the long still night
Bodies approach, hands clutch your chin and lips embrace
Tongues greet and swirl, prolonging the unhurried rapture
Our first kiss, undivided, blissful and delicately sensual

Hands oscillate to the rhythm of your heartbeat and deep sighs
Each touch emphasized with a stillness of breath as our thighs meet
Your nipples pressed against my chest, your eyes tightly shut
Parting lips welcome fading smiles as this moment is etched within the very fibre of our souls. . .
