Romance is bait, a glinting lure. In a granite world, no softness anywhere. Intoxicating ourselves, drunk on daydreams. Made clumsy and dumb and sopping wet with endless maybe's. The potion of possibilities. Telling ourselves it's the only tonic, The sole cure for the soul's lament. Toasting to sweet lies and swearing that you've never seen such light in the heart of the ravenous dark. » Continue Reading
Always the same Never a change For a lay Or for fame Everything in the name of vain Never for anything that stays Cheers to the empty Praise to the vapid All hail the hollow Don't you dare cry to me for bread Dust was just as good, remember? » Continue Reading
Never been here before and I'm unsure of how to proceed and yet by some ancient ritual, my nervousness has melted into patience. The uncertainty has now become something of a comfort. A well of possibilities. A pregnant chaos. A maelstrom with a portal nestled somewhere in its center. How novel, that the blur of the spin somehow transformed itself into my true north. » Continue Reading
It's so damn strange, the way that you secretly hated me for NOT being jealous of you. You, the self-proclaimed "model citizen". The way that you seemed to think that I owed you some sort of reverence or seemed to think that I looked up to you (and that if I didn't that you thought that I should ). How it seemed that you so badly wanted me to wish that I was more like you.... but I never did. I si... » Continue Reading
"Stingy with my love..." Make me be generous with you. Value the rarity. Savor the richness. Bathe in warm care. Not all can claim that they are loved immensely. Big bites. Gulp down. Silk caressing skin. Feather grazing lips. Take it in, soak it in. Find yourself wealthy in frugal times. » Continue Reading
You're looking the wrong way. The one that hurt you. The one that stole from you. The one that mocked and belittled you. The one that kicked you when you were down. It wasn't me. I won't take the blame in their stead. They went thatta way... » Continue Reading
The ocean floor. The sky at last light. The upwelling felt when listening to a favorite song. The joy of that first burst of hearty laughter. The electricity felt right before contact. The rush of the first bite of your favorite food. I swaddled it up and left it for you. In that dimension between here and there. In the twilight border town between sleep and awake. It's there waiting for you, for ... » Continue Reading
The modern (heterosexual) man is, on average, socialized to understand that the entire world is his, he need simply to reach out and grab whatever he wants. That vagina will rain down from heaven, all day every day for the rest of his life, just keep enough $ coming in. Women (of the heterosexual variety) are, on average, taught that regardless of how much or how rigorously you aim to refine your ... » Continue Reading
I wish I could do it all again. Melting into the rush. The comfort of knowing exactly where the emergency exit is. A head full of treasures and tears, and things kept between us. The pleasure and the gratitude. We don't speak anymore but I still see you in the sunset's sherbert sky. I count myself lucky and save a smile for you before the night swallows me whole. 🖤 » Continue Reading
When there's a strong color, or intricate patterns or an attractive person and you can feel your eyes adjusting and trying to figure out how to take it all in. I like that. I like that sensation. » Continue Reading
