Thrones

Posted on by

Supple and round
weighing many a pound,

Or bony and hard
leaving me scarred.

Whether big or small
I’ve supported them all

It’s all I have known –
The butts on my throne

Stress

Posted on by

Nail biting, pressure building,
Heart racing, there’s no
telling.

If we’re standing still –
stopping, going.

One step forward, ten
right back.

All I know is
Love, stress.

The End of Decency

Posted on by

Virtue, innocence, gone for good
Corrupt & defile me like no one
would,
Innocence gone, looking into the dark
Don’t follow your mind, just follow
your heart.
The power & control feels so
good.
But when you look back, you
realize you never should.

Moist

Posted on by

You touch it gently –
It returns to form

You feel it, moments later
Somehow it’s still warm

You smell it near,
Licking your fingers

You hear it calling –
When its near your mouth?

You glaze it when you get
too excited.
You close your eyes.

Its so moist on your
tongue when you
bite it.

Carbs

Posted on by

A tale of my old
lover.
you filled me
you sustained me.
… you tried to kill me.
I avoid you
I loathe you
I miss you.
A tale to my old
lover.

Stained

Stained Path I tread. Stained with memories… good and bad. Stained bad because mistakes and missed opportunities. Stained good with the misery of knowing never more. Neither stains appear to me to help me in my expanding despair. I shall die, stained with who I was, nothing!
