Moments Lost

The first time you hurt someone and like it –
The first time you steal and cheat and win –
The first time you love someone and hide it –
Can time alone corrupt you from within? Continue reading “Moments Lost” →

Worth It All

You shiver in the cold of night.
Your dark eyes burn – a restless flame.
Your face, glinting in neon light,
evokes feelings I’m afraid to name. Continue reading “Worth It All” →

A Farewell Not Withstood

When the wind carries the salty scent of the smooth sea from the south,
and a void forms in the balmy air where you once stood,
I know that I no longer belong to these people, nor to this town,
as a dull pain still lingers – of a farewell not withstood. Continue reading “A Farewell Not Withstood” →

To Hell With Hatred

If this is pain,
then it pales
in the light of your tenderness. Continue reading “To Hell With Hatred” →

How Many Breaths to Immortality?

Splintering trysts with drifted souls;
forbidden kisses of gin;
unspoken words of love long dead,
corroded by lust and sin –
how many touches to forgiveness? Continue reading “How Many Breaths to Immortality?” →

The Lights of Paris in Your Eyes

The lights of Paris in your eyes
tell stories of a life arcane.

The golden walls of Notre Dame
glimmer in the nightly Seine,
as sparks of curiosity
set your candid smile aflame. Continue reading “The Lights of Paris in Your Eyes” →

Dawn

You can smell it –
cold cigarette butts on the dirty bus stop floor.
You can taste it –
one drink too many, served on a liquor-soaked bar. Continue reading “Dawn” →

Forevermore

Come down to the water
and join me at the dawn.
Please let me hold you,
I’ve been running all the night.
The bond’s forever broken,
my heart’s forever torn.
I’ve forgotten long ago
what’s wrong and what is right. Continue reading “Forevermore” →

One More Fix

I’m lying here next to you,
been day drinking again.
And I’m afraid of touching you –
unlike all your other men.
For my own good, you’re ignoring me,
keep pushing me away.
You drive me insane anyhow,
so please just let me play.
Scratch me, bite me, break my heart;
baby, make me bleed.
Everybody’s hurting baby;
a fix is what I need. Continue reading “One More Fix” →
