no life without the other

Erred
Redux
You as my Lover
acting like you care
You liked to Hover
we made a great pair
But you were a Shover
found out too late
So I ran away for Cover
to escape this fate

Exhaustipated 2.0
i felt hopeful once
bring your strength to the table
you cannot falter
but
it’s just not in me
too tired to care anymore
leave me alone please
Resignation
is it giving up if
the fucks have disintegrated
when the situation has
broken your mind
your body
and your feelings
until numbness
is all there is left
when something is so undesirable
the outcome seems inevitable
prudent even
Being Not Monsters
all humans are capable of being monsters
and we hope we’d know
if they were
the deceivers will display the opposite of appropriate
a caricature of reality
a physical trickery
the good will always be angels
those we can trust
fall into for recovery
know we’d found a safe space
deception is always a possibility
but knowing the truth brings us security
a feeling of trust
and a foundation of ease
the chaos falls away
there is a fearlessness of honesty
a fortitude of genuine display
a calmness rippling throughout
again, fortitude presented during tough times
a gallantry possessed and exhibited
and an intrepidity aggressively laying claim to integrity
conscience stops us from crossing the lines of indecency
Cold
Redux
you threw the first rock
the force of it landed
the pain came in slivers
you broke open
love’s shelter
it’s no longer safe here
our warmth escaped
cold steeliness seeped in
my blood curdled icy

Tempted By A Demon
That slight touch, his hand sensually draped in the small of my back, the tips of his fingers grazing the top of my curves, incapacitated me. I’d forgotten how intoxicating his filmy stroke on my velvet flesh felt. I heard myself roar the word MORE in my head while strips of clothing fell away to the floor as if the smooth jazz music encircling us, making us sway deliberately, demanded it. We were back in the moment, fully immersed in a time where hearts don’t heed warnings. How long would it be before the ugly truth would reveal itself again?
Sharing Essence
Redux
Love me so hard
I forget the pain
I came with.
Free the me
who wants
to return love.
It’s there deep within.
I promise.
I have it to give.
Please occupy
the space
between my molecules.
Filling this
empty,
tainted soul.
Please help me
to release
these demons.
To make the room
inside for all
you can share.
Your strength
meets mine
and helps me rise.
When you’re where
I finally leave;
I’ll be here, dear.
Then it’s my turn.
Your slide to the dark,
my cross to bear.

A Broken Heart
Inspired by What do you see #306
crisp conversation
with a visceral response
we are over now
Burning Out
i can feel us drift from the magic
our love becoming a relic
the stars once brilliant,
are now dim
the water we swim in
becoming bloody inky
the beast boils within
a demise beginning
it tracks as the light of love extinguishes
no more words will change the truth
no longer the hunter of the exquisite
i confess disillusionment
for this holy union
as i hear the echo of desires long gone
flames wishing to re-ignite
yet dampened by the inability to catch on a spark
a reality experienced by so many of us
over and over
until we just can’t anymore
