Whisper

Whisper to thy self of love and

Forget me not’s

Breathe in the vapors of romance

Feeding your soul

Capturing essence of amour

Riding the crescent waves

Of pleasure

As whispers of desire, tickle your ear

I suffer your pain as it wraps its

Tentacles around your heart

Strangling life from your soul

In this abyss you have fallen

Where you find no peace

Sorrow has become your

Shadows and stillness

Your spirit seeks

A place I have known so well

And at times the darkness

So severe light couldn’t find

Its way in

I share your despair the feeling

Of fighting this battle on your own

How many times did I too wage this

War

In my footsteps you’re walking in

Nevertheless, notice there is only one

Set of prints

Pain has its way of stealing hope

Hope has a way of stealing back life

You’ll see the dawn begin to break

Darkness slowly dissipates

Pain vanishes as fog rolls back out

To sea

Good Night Sweet Dreams

Some things not meant to be

Holding on to impossibilities

Chasing dreams always within

Reach yet not close enough

To grasp in palm of your hand

Standing on the other side

Of time making wishes

Futile when they fail

To materialize

You place a soft kiss on your dreams

 In the dark you whisper

To all your imaginings and desire

Good night sweet dreams…

Iridescent Moon

Iridescent moon calls to the night

Through clouds shimmering

Reflection on water’s heart

In the distance silence imprisons

The essence of lost nymphs
Water’s glow evermore

Filled with tears of weeping sirens

Lost love

Forbidden temptation

Desire, hunger screams

Out from the iridescent moon

As the sigh of want

Echoes hauntingly

Moan of need dances

Back to stillness

Atmosphere

You are not the air I breathe

The sunrises as the moon sets

And existence is mine alone

Not to give my soul

Watch my spirit die

Trampled on red grapes

Makes wine

Sour, bitter juice

Drips from lips swollen

Eyes darkened

From too many nights

 Sleep deprivation

 Wrestling with ghost

That won’t let me lay

 Down in peace

 Look out into the night and

Gaze up to the heavens

 the moon

 So far away and wish

Sorrow was even farther

 Not right here at finger tips

Sharp needles pricks

And bleed

She Danced Alone

The lights dimmed

She materialized on stage standing

Graceful and still

Music begin to play

She let the sound flow through her

Eyes closed she became music

Slowly lifting one elegant arm from

It’s resting place by her side

She teased the crowd with her moves

Precision in each step had them

Holding their breath

Giving and taking until she thought

They’d had enough

Her long legs she’d thrust out

Head held high she was truly

A diva

Swirling around her dress mesmerized

As it performed about her body

In fluent movement dancing in

And out circling her swaying hips

Exquisiteness to look at

Exciting to witness her

Beautiful performance

She inflamed all those that observed 

She stared looking straight into their hearts

 Commanding respect

She’d danced till blood filled

Her shoes

Pouring out her heart and soul

One tear drop hung on her

Eyelash

Gradually the music died away

Silence overwhelmed

She stood serene holding her breath

A single red rose landed at her feet

Lap Dance

Nervous looking over his shoulder

Didn’t know what he actually thought

He might see

Still he kept looking

 He walked into the club

Didn’t know what to expect

Every night was different

Sat down wondering why

In the world he was there again

A question he asked himself

Every time

The answer always the same

Lights dimmed music began

To play loud and raunchy

Had the walls vibrating

Color lights started to spin

 As the women

Took to the stage

Sweat begin to appear on his forehead

Great drops rolling down the

Sides of his cheeks

Quickly he wiped it away as

Beautiful bodies paraded in front of him

He took in a deep breath

Still in his mind questioning his presence

In this sinful place

All his life he was told to stay away from

Den of iniquity

She stood in front of him gyrating up and down

Threw one leg over his shoulder so

Close he smelled her scent

He leaned back

She moved in closer

Removed her leg from around his head

And sat down in his lap

Nature began to stir

As she did her dance

Provocative, erotic

Secretly he was a masochist seeking

To find his high

Each night he came

Each night he felt the

Same self loathing

She leaned into him more

He forgot all about

What his mother always told him

Throwing his head back he

Let out a wild animal cry

As he let the music and

The women do to him

Things he’d never imagined

And like all the nights before

 The music would come to a stop

And he would come back to his senses

Looking into the woman eyes

He saw the face of his mother

Threw a few dollars at her

And ran

He ran and

He ran

Hearing the devil laughing in

His head

Feeling sick to his stomach

He let go of his dinner

In the back of an alley

Wiped his mouth on the back of his coat

Sleeve and leaned against the

Cold brick wall

All this for a lap dance

He felt dirty

His soul violated

Head down he continued on

To his home

Put the key in the door

It opened in slow motion

What he saw made him

Stop…….
