Peace

I’ve dropped the fists I used to raise,Don’t care for wins, no urge to chase.I’ve rid myself of endless noise,I now seek peace in simpler joys. No more the weight of shouted words,no confused love and no lines blurred.No more, joy’s neon lit paradigmI’ll skip the beaten path this time. The moments spent in video

Jane

If only you knew, Oh lover of mineHow hard it hurt to watch.If only you felt the things I didWhen she absorbed your touch The way her body seemed to meltBeneath your manly frameThe way her disposition changedEach time you called her name I watched your ship dock at her portTime and time againI watched

Rods & Rings

And so, the night begins its song,As sleeping rods grow hard and long.Moonlit skin commends the night,Allowing rods and rings unite.

The Saddest Lines

Many a time have my thoughts been filled from day to night, with her.Day to night and night to day, I’ve loved, but only her. The times I heard her love me too,were only ever sometimes true.I loved a soul who loved no soul,and so, I had to lose my soul. Tonight, I write the

Smile

Once upon a night so clearly — lit with moonly might and merry,Did I behold a sight so very — very quaint and less a bore.While I watched, so gently sipping — tears behind my eyes near weeping,As she watched another, smiling — Smile did she whom I adore.Smile did she and nothing more. With

In My Head

In my head she’s living, In my head Of every thought that is caught in the webs of my consciousness Every truth that exists within the boundaries of my reality. It is that which describes the gaze of her eyes, That, and nothing more, living in my head. A plague A blessing, So vague a
