Candle

 

I’d like to be able to claim
That none can hold a candle
To your brilliance
But the truth is
They are but mere candles
Before you

Their light
Only blinding
Against darkness
Only blinding
In your absence

The Knife Of Hypocrisy

 

The knife of hypocrisy
Cuts deep
My shadow’s blood
Leaks
Painting an already ruined floor

The boat’s mooring
Has come undone
Now we drift
Upon the whims of a moon
Covered by cloud

The dehydrated man
Dares not drink
Because he knows
He cannot swim

The monkey
Rages in the cage
He created for himself

The ant
Toils with its fellows
Oblivious of the destruction
Left in the wake
Of their queen’s rage

I write
Words on a page
Knowing they will never be understood
By those
Who inspired them

The Mountain

 

If I knew
How hard
I’d have to work
In order
To not have to
Work so hard
I’d have probably
Settled for a day job

Only now
Do I realize
Just how tall
The mountain
Truly is
And how strong
I’ll have to be
To climb it

Nonetheless
I am grateful
For my ignorance
For it made me
Strong enough
To believe
That I can become strong enough
To make it
To the top

The Candle Burns

 

The candle burns
Giving light
Giving warmth

By fulfilling its function
It destroys itself
By destroying itself
It serves others

The candle burns
Sacrificing itself
For us

Life Is Just A Costume

 

Impending doom
Looms over the womb
Nothing can exhume
The gloom of the tomb
Life is just a costume
An heirloom
A temporary bloom
Before the darkness consumes

flirt with me

 

Erotica, R-18+

flirt
with me
as if
your soul
was fire
and i am
the wood
you must
devour
to survive

i can be explicit

 

Erotica, R-18+

i can be explicit
and solicit
but only if you are complicit
expose yourself
and i’ll kiss it
move your body to elicit
lust
implicit
thoughts that disinhibit
i want you
anything less is insufficient
let’s make memories together
pleasure reminiscent
mouth and tongue proficient
swallow deeply
no limit
thank the gods
for a body capable of such spirit…

i can be explicit
