Beauty of The Beast
She lies in calmness,
but her lair claims many souls.
The sea has no friends.
it gets better.
one day you will wake
drunk on life's little moments.
so stay. for me. please?
Cases are spiking here.
September leaves, fence,
hillside in the morning sun,
sky: you must hold this.
Steuben County, New York - 9/25/2020
twinkling void
skating on saturn's
rings, bright orbs of ice drench me
lost and found in space
sunset-facing
Hearts fill as the air
Through sunset-facing windows
Reminds us to breathe
So we breathe.
watching the moon rise
dusk swept through like a
constellation-clad cloak of
ebony satin

Red
Never killed before
But I’ve broken a few hearts
And maybe that’s worse
Only Memories
In a flash, it's gone.
We prevailed? What did we save?
Only memories.
Everything feels wrong.
Among the ash, what remains?
Only memories.
Hear glorious song
'Be triumphant', choirs chant,
'Take the victory.'
But, shall we drone on
Of the distant, joyous day
When hearts are empty?
What have we at dawn
When our weary souls arise?
Only memories.
Between Sheets
Sensual touching
snow and sleet beat on the roof
undercover lust.

haiku
the stars are shining
but they don't shine like you do
when you smile at me
