Poetry Today

The Rush

I don’t need light to see you

I can feel you in my veins

I carry your heartbeat

On my tongue

My soul trembles

With the need to hold you

Your taste is madness

You are the sweetest rush

I’ve ever known

Poetry Today

The night is broken…

I braced your back

Against my hands

As I poured my words over you

Poetry tracing the shape

Of your body



The light, warm and sweet

Between your soul

A solitary longing

Coming undone

The night is broken

Screaming out our need

In reckless abandonment©

Poetry Today

Purity and Poison…

You are no mere poet

You my love

Is purity and poison

You are a lover

A healer of brokenness

You purged the pain

Of lost souls

Your words have filled

The empty cavity

Between my breast

You are a sonneteer

A lyricist

I have stitched your words

Into my soul

And my heart implodes

With beauty
