Unrequited
Stars shine in the abstract
Darkness where thoughts whisper
Where secret wishes
Meet and become one
My coat on your back
Winter sings in our ears
Wind bites, chills
From your fingernails
Not that spine shiver cliché
Even still, my heart sings
You listen to my melody
Your eyes attentive
Street lamps bare me
Those omnipresent stars uncover me
Lamps, eyes and stars
Thoughts and whispers and pain
Pleasure as well
Sadistic masochistic
You slowly biting
Claiming me for yourself
With teeth marks
Imprinted upon dark flesh
Are you the wind then
To bite me so…
You spin intensity like
Web between two fading street lamps
Telling me the
Things that you have seen
In that moment, our lips touch
Yet we never kiss
Even now
I hate you for it
Hoping
That you love me in return

Unfinished Recital
The words stopped so suddenly
Falling to the ground as if
Gravity no longer held
The delicate balance
Of sound to air
He called a gathering of the children
Even held one, bawling, in his arms
For to give them the blessing of the lord
For almost five heartbeats
The Silence permeated the air
As if those were the last words
To ever be spoken
He fell to the life giving Earth
The gift given/taken back
As if the Earth just could no longer
Sustain the weight of this one man
The proverbial straw
All that could be heard
Or not heard, as the case seemed to be
Were the cries of an infant
Cradled, in his lifeless arms
