To sing my Song
I left my strings unplucked, deadened and silenced grown stiff with disuse. They grated and screeched if forced or squeaked a little pitch. Sometimes, in moments when I forget myself, a forgotten tune, I hear. Beautiful yet plaintive I wished to claim it for myself But, it is beyond my little self. Oh, how desperately…

Graveyard
Headstones covered in mists, smell of wet Earth blanketing the dead. Do I hear their whispers left behind? Rustle of leaves Sighs of the wind Oh, you who have gone before me, What mysteries do you see? Across the edge of the known world I yearn to follow a gnawing hunger for the unknowable, for eternity,…

Crack
A marionette daughter, perfectly coiffed hair as her mother likes, dressed in red to be seen and adored. Â Eyes cast down, bowing to father, smile not too wide, not too small, talk not too loud, not too low, walk quietly, no running or mucking about. Obedient and muted, a doll for the dress up, for…

Window
Sunlit smile beaming through the open Window cool Breeze fluttering through the curtains, bashful like a veiled bride. Sensual perfume filled the air. I feel her threading between these fingers, whispering by these ears. Don’t be shy, I say Slip between this breast Speak through these eyes, these lips.. with every twist of this body,…

The Moon and the stars
Night crisp air, wispy hair tickling the wind. The Moon reflected his face so close, I could pull silvers around my fingertips and touch them to my lips. One lick and I am drunk, defenselessly open to his caresses, his sweet scent, his smile His breath in me.. Drinking bare-skinneddeep draughts of liquid Moon like…

The Axis of the Earth
Take the light of the sun in the dark, and the one that’s hidden shines back. Without the moonshine, the sun would not know the darkness that shines for him. Without his light her moonlit beauty would remain ever lost.. That eternal dance across the sky of one shining for the other since time beginning..…

Birthmarks
Birthmarks scattered, mapping constellations across your skin climaxes as you press against mine. Bodies interlocked across the black night quivering in waves of starlight coalescing and exploding star dusts— Sinuous delicious euphoria, Devouring ravishing hunger screams our inevitable union across eons depicted in the ancient myths. Destined to war. Destined to love. ***

Shackled
Eyes unseeing ears unhearing looping through the same sceneries, the same horrors, the same miseries. Broken hearts to hardened stones. Heavy shields, dented drawn up on weary arms. Spines bent on burdens collected unawares. Gnashing teeth against gilded cages. Oh, the Rage that never splutter out Thirst that never quenches Pain that never staunches Hunger…

Fear
The murmurs slithering into your thoughts Black ink bleeding into your mind. Lurking horrors and traps of the unknown, unknowable and uncertainty. Crippling under this colossal darkness fed on to your terror stricken soul in endless loops. Nights of paralysis and goose flesh a scream bubbling in your chest. It’s a friend and a foe.…
