Pain Felt Alive

I heard you panting, groaning,
but not with me.
With each kiss of his lips,
I remembered the dreams you stole.
You thought me fooled,
but secretly I knew.
The whispered phone calls,
staying late after work,
another man’s scent.
Yes, I knew…
but it was not you,
it was me.
Pain felt alive.

Blood Burning

sweet perfumes linger longer than warmth

Balloon

A red speck fades where hands fell short

You Blinded Me

and caressed my ache to be loved

Fierce Hunt

gave me a brief moment of rebirth

Naïve Boy

I always believed life would be fair

Deep Black Eyes

while my moist lips trembled

Devils & Monsters

while they squandered their seed

Big Daddy

each word I uttered, I heard your voice

The Devil Whispered My Name

I lay in a pillowy green field
