The Fall of Love

Before you reach out for me
Hand me a drink of your finest poison
Let us wait until the aches have no pain
And my mind is cast into darkness.

Here is where I lay
In the absence of your love
Waiting for the blaze of day
To reveal the comfort of your shadows.

The light of a thousand stars
Traded for the silence of a confound man
Your world kept in a million cracked jars
Placed upon high dust-filled shelves.

Tell me you didn't want me
To fight the demons I saw in your eyes
When you fisted your hands in vexation
And ripped me apart in your mind.

I live for these .. grim wars
For which I refuel my fearful body
A brawl on cold tainted floors
That leaves our flesh torn & bloodied.

Pull me closer before tomorrow claims our moment
Pluck my feathers & tug at my heart after all the violence
Like guitar strings strummed by tiresome fingertips
A song struggling to pierce through the maddening silence.


Just a few short breaths away, still awake & unafraid
I will love you more, lest I be Lady Macbeth
Just a few slow beats away, unchained & losing ground
I ultimately fall asleep beside your welcoming death.

Vulnerable Vixen

Vanity brought down to her knees
Valor stripped from my hands
Vested power bestowed irresponsibly unto him
Vigorously lowered into the darkness
Violent thrusts begging for deliverance
Verbal screams silenced in sporadic movements
Vampiric behaviour relentlessly punished
Vibrations of my heart echoing through my bones
Vengeful hands fisting my muddled hair
Vivacious expressions animated with sounds of pleasure
Vowing to bore mercilessly through my cranium
Venom forcefully injected & digested
Vexation aggressively swallowed & destroyed
Virtuosity proven by such a magnificent performance

Vacuous smile stretched across my face..


Victory .. viciously taken from me.

Behind the Veil

The dangers I place myself in
Walking down an elliptic aisle
No clues to guide my dispositioned feet
Only a veiled search for the eyes that beguile

Tonight, I walk through the seated & secretly lovelorn
Smiles of happiness held together over a short distance
Envy hidden safely under a cloak of admiration
But forward I pace, with relentless persistence

Fate has brought together fire & ice
To forever be at war & yet tightly bound
Because alone, I would send icespears through human hearts
And alone, he would burn cities & empires to the ground

The path now cleared of lies & misunderstandings
Love's asylum now all that remains
He carefully cages the animal within
And as I  near him, he melts the ice in my veins.

To choke on the sound of his name
Lose my breath & turn the brightest shade of blue
For the endless slicing flutters in my ribcage
And for all eternity in Hell .. I do.
