You exhaled smoky words and enslaved me;
enchanting praise enchained me to your heart.
You caressed my absence of self-belief;
the white heat of your kiss lowered my guard.
Your warm whisper wrapped me in your bondage;
bound my flesh to the power of your gun.
Blood pumped to the thrill of being hostage;
each second with you was destructive fun.
You blinded me from your diseased spirit;
hearing I love you lured me to your bed.
You bewitched me while we became liquid;
absence from your dominance left me dead.

Balloon
A red speck fades where hands fell short
Inside Your Aroma
bruises too stark to hide from the start
Whispers from the Scars: More Poems of Survival and Strength…
Bound in Darkness
blood spilled over the descending sun
Dreamed He Would Keep Me Safe
while held within his firm embrace
You Took Away My Voice
cultural cancellation controlled me
Whispers of Emotion: More Lyric Poems to Feel…
Big Daddy
each word I uttered, I heard your voice
Dreamed He Would Keep Me Safe
while held within his firm embrace
In His Embrace, I Slowly Died
where your love left me exiled

Blood Burning
sweet perfumes linger longer than warmth
