Lyric Poem

These poems are songs without music: intimate, immediate and soul-deep. The lyric form captures a single voice in its most vulnerable state, echoing desire, grief, awe or ache. This is the heartbeat of poetry: personal, pulsing and unafraid.

When emotion becomes melody on the page.

Heterovert

your slur—my ceaseless derogation

Blood Burning

queens snorted and screamed

In His Embrace, I Slowly Died

where your love left me exiled

Murderous Seduction

deep within the haunted wood

Rescued Me

fear of abusive men soon decreased

Twisted Carcass

perverted desires and poisoned words

Conquered by Your Fierce and Tender Love

warm, fragile tears revealed I am loved
