La Petite Mort

Warmth Spreading
breaths quicken
electricity circulating
heart racing
pulsating waves
muscles contracting
heat consumes being
breathing becomes gasps
electricity engulfs body
heartbeat becomes erratic
all muscles seize
all senses reach out
all nerve endings fire
shock waves spread through body
deep moans escape your mouth
animalistic instinct takes you over
Massive explosion from deep within 
Peace
contentment
exhaustion
happiness
La Petite Mort

Bring Me the Sunset

Inspired by a prompt to use "Bring me the sunset in a cup" within a piece of work. This is what i came up with.


You asked what I wanted
and i looked up.
"Bring me the sunset in a cup."

This task is impossible!
Your too hard to please!
If you think thats hard, I want the view from Belize.

You walked away mad
and I stayed and cried.
You asked what I wanted I told you a lie.

All i wanted was love,
your heart in my hand.
But you walked away, and here I stand.

All alone in the world.
Right back at the start
with no one to fill my broken, empty heart.

Dont do it

From out of the darkness I see a light.
A tiny beam of hope ignites.

I raise my head from within the gloom
I will be free from darkness soon.

The grasp it had will soon be gone,
my time has come to journey home.

Voices echo within my head.
I thought I was...but I'm not dead.

I slowly wake and see my fate.
Tubes and machines, its not to late.

I had some drinks and chose to drive.
Now five are dead and I'm alive.

I thought my life had just begun,
now I must live with what I've done.

I lie

In the darkness of the night, I lie
alone and troubled, tortured in my soul.
my spirit chained, unable to fly.
I am weak and broken by your love.

Unable to touch, to hold, to kiss,
desire that is forbidden and unspeakable.
Never to look upon each other,
frozen in a state of denial, I lie.

Hear Me

i am surrounded by the night
dark and forboding, crushing me,
tempting me to run, to break away
Every whisper is a scream,
pounding in my brain
Every star is a pin point of pain
scattered across the sky,
shining reminders of the past.
Howls of wolves scream their rage,
sending shivers through my spine.
An overwhelming urge to scream cripples me.
i cry out into the night,
yet no one hears my screams.
My chest pounds, I break into a cold sweat,
I run like a madman, no direction,
no purpose except escape.
Hear me! Help me!
I stumble and fall,
down into darkness, down into the quiet,
down into sweet methodical madness.

Souls Intertwined

SOULS INTERTWINED







IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE


A PAIR OF BODIES, COMPOSED


OF SMOKE AND MIST, INTERTWINED


ONE FORM, SOULS COMBINED


FREE OF THE CHAINS OF REALITY


ARMS HOLD AND HANDS CARESS


COMPLETE AND UTTER SURRENDER, NO GUILT


PULSATING AND UNABLE TO BE DEFINED


IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTAIN


INNER BEASTS RELEASED


A GENTLE BREEZE WHISPERS SATISFACTION


TWO SOULS FLOAT AS ONE


FOREVER JOINED, FOREVER IN LOVE


FOREVER AT PEACE


TWO SOULS INTERTWINED.

No More

No More




You used and abandoned

hurt and betrayed

tortured and abused

the one who remained



Her heart she gave

her body she surrendered

her head held low

consumed in shame



No one to turn to

confide in, explain

Trapped in a cage

of a madman’s rage



Desperate for escape

beaten down and contained

within a broken body

and an unrecognizable face



Empowered by rage

she will break away

she will find escape

down the barrel of a 12 gauge



your hurt has been erased

your pain she has contained

never will you hurt again

By her own hands she was saved.
