#1
Dead expectations
wait behind cracked doors within
this redundant realm.
#2
There’s only one rule.
Release all expectations
and just be present.
#3
The body ripples
in expectation of skin
touching skin again
#4
I’m simply alone
with empty expectations
and a naive heart
At a loss
yet still aware that
I don’t know
anything
except how my body burns
every time you’re near.
No Place
There is no place
for this-
soft release of my
own self into arms
that hold
and just hold,
small curl into his space
to be seen
to be free,
yielding of skin
with fear that
has finally softened,
as my focus melts
his eyes and
now I can only
see my own.
No, there is no place
for this-
lock up
and
retreat,
cracked and shadowed
sanctuary of
memory
within me
between us
And I wonder
in sadness
in fear, in anger
If this time
Is the time
to go.
Alone.

Pomegranate
Round and hard,
the dull dirty red
disguising
the crimson
treasure buried deep within.
The fruit falls open
red rubies
swollen with sweet juice
begging me
to indulge
Whispering secrets
of the mysteries hidden
in the fiery red realm of Hades,
a lonely, frightened Persephone,
I am seduced.

“Muse”
I exist
in the space between
thoughts and
ideas,
inhaling and exhaling
manifestation.
