I started this while still living in Idaho with my wifey. Before I left my future and everything else we were building. Leaving behind that anchoring thought, leaving her, I never wanted. Until I realized that I was making a choice between being near my son as he grew into manhood and being with someoneContinue reading “Barbed girl”

Sanguine skies
We laid there In a dream I didn’t want to wake from so I closed my eyes And imagined your hand floating above me, A sea of sharp sunlight stabbing Between your fingers and The sanguine skies reflected the sun in your blood Until my eyes shone red with Love for you, this moment TheContinue reading “Sanguine skies”
Candy
Strangers call me “sweetie” It’s funny how these blues can mask and hide All the ugly that lies beneath. This smile, I don’t flash it to be kind…. It appears when I think about what I want to do to you, The marks I want to leave behind, prints in your skin Left in theContinue reading “Candy”
Because You Believed
August 10, 2011 “Because You Believed In Me” Saw this today on a cheesy record at work As I swept the floor, Gliding between the stacks of books Breathing their dust and previous lovers. Their stories every day are the very air I breathe. Perhaps it’s some of why writing has been impossible lately. TooContinue reading “Because You Believed”
I am the skies before the rain
I am the skies before the rain, sticky sweet as an unexpected kiss, I cling to you like sweat on skin, hugging you close with breath hot, my teeth on the back of your neck, my nails deep inside you. I am the anticipation of wet earth, the smell that makes your eyes close inContinue reading “I am the skies before the rain”
Love without trust is CONTROL
Petrichor
I wake among your roots, Turning my head to where your skin breaks the soil, Nestling my lips deeper, Gritty kisses in the morning. Biting back the gristled edges of your bark, To reach inside you, where I breathe and breathe and breathe, Pulling you into my lungs, where the silence waits, And my heartContinue reading “Petrichor”
Musings: An erotic story with reading
Wrote this on a whim, after a dream with the scene envisioned. I’d left the Jehovah’s Witnesses and my marriage to my middle-school-sweetheart just two years before. Finally I could explore who I truly wanted to be. September 26, 2012 2:23 AM I rapped on the apartment door, once then twice, our agreed signal. ThereContinue reading “Musings: An erotic story with reading”
I once told you
This is a love you don’t recover from. And I meant it. I didn’t know the steel bitter truth of it yet. What life is without you. How everything is less. Food is something I have to do. Work is too. Everything is tasteless, flavorless. A virus that wiped all of me, Crumpled in theContinue reading “I once told you”
Tonight I miss you
And the virus doesn’t scare me anymore because I’m already drowning in my snot crying missing you knowing I’ll never see you or feel your energy your eyes your hands and I can’t breathe again I’m drowning because what are the years ahead of me if you are not there I don’t want them andContinue reading “Tonight I miss you”
