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.

ThereContinue reading “Musings: An erotic story with reading”

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”

It Hurts

April 2, 2020 There’s a glowUnder that bridge, the one that holds the sky up,The mist sits her heavy hips around it,And it creaks to you in a language you remember from a dream.Wander the wildest path you can find,Whisper backThe trees and the owls know what your voice sounds like.Touch where the legs meetContinue reading “It Hurts”
