Broken

I broke against your kisses
And crumbled to the floor
Blood pounded in my ears
And I knew I wanted more

And though my lips were bleeding
Just like my torn up heart
You kissed me with a fierceness
That split my soul apart

The Shore

And there on the edges of
Some distant broken shore
I poured my life into
An empty shell,
It glistened as it whispered
Soft and haunting lies
With a soothing breath
That shivered down my spine
And flayed me open,
To expose to the elements all the
Secrets tangled like seaweed,
Bones bleached like driftwood,
Soul scrubbed raw over buoyant
Waves and rough sand, and a
Heart lying bleeding
Among shards of broken glass…

Remnants

She reached down into the void
Fingertips grazing his in a futile attempt
At holding on
As the darkness divided them further
She pulled back her hands
They were dripping with blood
And in them she cradled
The broken remnants of her heart

A Kiss Like This

I breathed you in,
Scent of silvery moonlight
As my fingers trailed your spine,
Blankets tossed like the sea around us,
Your soft skin gleamed in the pale light,
Shadows upon the wall
Told a turbulent story,
My fingers ached to travel the map of you,
To read you like braille,
Wanting to know the tale of your scars,
You reached for me with gentle hands
Your tenderness belying your strength,
Lips soft like pillows brushed feathery traces
Upon my cheeks,
Pressed against my lips and kissed
My very soul..

Angel

A cry in the night
A lone man sings
A heart wrenching sound
An Angel clipped of her wings

A tearing of the soul
A tear streaked face
A heart lying broken
An Angel in disgrace

A lover absconded
A lover scorned
A beauty bereft
An Angel unadorned

A darkness encroaching
A numbing of the heart
A deadening of the soul
An Angel torn apart

Moon Song

The clouds drift in the evening sky
The crescent Moon is alight
Stars shimmering against an indigo backdrop
The world aglow with the coming of night
A vision in blue perches gently on the Moon
Long ebony hair clasped behind her ear
Her pale full lips are parted in song
Her voice, like bells, ringing clear
Her song is one full of heartbreak and woe
Not a single moment of mirth
Pain expressed in a haunting tale
As crystalline tears fall to the Earth
Nightly she sits there mourning her lover
Her dear friend, whose soul did depart
Never again will she see his face
Though his memory lives on in her heart

Loss

The young girl stares straight ahead
Eyes seeing nothing, her heart is filled with dread
Her stomach is full of butterflies ,as the adrenaline floods her veins
She doesn’t know what to think even, her head is full of pain
She takes her seat in the waiting room, her turn she’s sure is next
She has this sinking feeling right in her very chest
The nurse calls out her name and she jumps a little with fright
Her memories all come flooding back, all images of that night
She takes her clothes off gingerly and steps into the hospital gown
She turns around to face the bed and slowly lays herself down
Her heart is thumping through her chest, her soul is dying inside
Never has she felt this way as hot tears she tries to hide
The doctor walks into the room, not even glancing her way
Its just another job to him, another client who’ll pay
Her legs are spread before him, humiliation to add to pain
The nurse looks at her briefly as though wanting someone to blame
Her world shrinks and shimmers as the sedative pulses in her blood
Her future is suddenly ripped from her with only a little flood
She wakes to find it over, her aching belly a void
She puts her hands upon her heart, her world forever destroyed.
