Lily White

Did my crimson words
Burn into your lily
White mind

Did you feel the
Red heat of
My passion

Do you fear
Me or your
Silly inhibitions

Jump off blindly
As your feet leave
The safety of your earth

Find me
Touch me
Know me
As my crimson stains
Your lily white

Kali’s Original Sin

I was born of original sin
I let it out
It sucked you in
Not much difference
From Kali
Accepting offerings of your flesh
Cutting through this illusion
Of what we wish we
Could be

The Tantric pulse
Of undulating desires
Lays heavy on my soul
Such burden
This possession
Void of my mortality
My touch promising you
Freedom from your Karma
And bringing you bliss

Better to be free
Than to seek Nirvana
Through the necklace
Seeds of Sanskrit
What a horrible honor
To free you from fear
In the darkest of nights
When I’m drawing you near

Will you look in my eyes
As Shiva did
Gazing at the hideous glory
Of my macabre azure beauty
Knowing the sadness
Of my freedom
Feeling the fierce Protection
Of this warrior companion

Will you understand
When I dance atop
What remains of you
Celebrating the wonderment
Of rebirth, releasing you
Into the wheel of second chances
Knowing I loved you

Extrication

I heard it happen
My heart breaking like
Fractured glass
Loud, crisp
Snapping of cords
That had long ago
Attached themselves to you

The reverberation of
Of their disconnection
Sent waves of glorious
Exquisite pain
Echoing through me
Leaving me isolated
Alone with shards of angst

When this happened
I didn’t know
The healing part would
Come so slow
Foreign landscape
Previously known
Only to the forlorn hearts
Of unlucky lovers

I wanted only to love you
To give you that which I
Needed most from you
Comfort of affection
A deeper sort of connection
The feeling of my heartfelt words
The right to say that I was yours.

I dedicate this to Bart Bejarano, as of now I still have not let go, perhaps someday I will.

Heartbeat

Swish swoosh, swish swoosh
pumping life through my chambers
swish swoosh, swish swoosh
letting in, letting out
coursing through the walls and halls of my cathedral
scarlet covering all that remains
tinting the remnants of the best of heartfelt intentions
How intriguing it is to find that my strength is in fact my greatest weakness

Rapture

Oh to breath you in
to feel the weight of your words fall on me
like a warm rain
how they caress and envelope me
in the light that is your heart
they have saved me
from cold Grey days
when I did not know love

For when you reached
into the eye of my spirits storm
and calmed the angry seas
the gentleness of your presence
came in and rescued me

You've encircled me with heaven
as you lift my face
towards yours
then you showered me with kisses
and they carried me till dawn

While our bodies tell a secret
that no one else will ever hear
your lips feel like they're roses
and they wash away all fear

Our time has passed too quickly
as my life with you must end
you've released my heart from bondage
and I'll live to love again

Loving You

I am how my soul’s connected
You are where it ends
I show how my hearts affected
You are where it mends

Until the twelfth of never
until the end of time
to you my heart surrendered
our spirits intertwined

My search for you has ended
your the answer to my quest
for love that knows no measure
no beginning and no end

The Dead

Are you there
In every way
Can you hear these words
I say
What do you think
Or can you feel
To speak of it
Can make them real
I open up
A little peek
I'll try to feel
I'll try to speak
I pour it out
It runs so deep
The contents of this heart
So weak
Did I hurt you Are you torn
Of my pain
My actions born
My intent was not to wound
I thought I would be leaving soon
Hiding myself in denial
Finding ways to spend the hours
Dead

My World

In the center of my world
you'll find me
quiet
sitting
still

In the outward dizzy space
You'll find me
hurried
keeping
pace

In the space of in between
You'll never know
the
things
I've
seen

I will not name them
show their face
but in my world
they have their place

Centered

Blue sky
running
thoughts
keeping time
with the
cadence of the river

Thoughts of
you
maybe
someone
new
filled with wonder
as I wander

Feeling my
humanity
my
pulse
and vulnerability

keeping centered
wrapped
up tight
I'm looking
out
my mind
roams free

The Eyes Have It

your's are warm
sultry brown with black
silky and smooth, like chocolate
controlled and conservative

mine are cool
green with gold
vivid in comparison
wild and uninhibited

what contrast and
contradictions our eyes
betray, maybe we should have
seen what was coming
it was after all right before
our eyes

Heartless

You called again today
You say your in love
She's the one you've waited
your whole life for

she makes you feel alive
you dream of having babies
your scared of the happiness
the feeling of need

I wonder
when you asked if we could
still be friends
did you mean this to be
the proverbial twist of the knife
in my heart

I'm amazed at your ignorance
what did you think
when I pointed out that
you once used these same words
talking about your feelings for me

Do you really think I want to hear
of the bliss you have at thoughts
of being with her
do you even think that it has only
been one week
since you last laid beside me

What are you thinking
