I Admit It

I admit it.My lack of romantic sense,My inability to form connections,My heart's cold distance,Unintended cruelty dispensed. But I never lied when I said "I love you."

Port in the Storm

The cold sheet precipitates,Chance meetings and glances,Lips that speak of unhealed wounds,Lost loves and last chances.

Lunar Beloved

My lunar beloved,Whose shimmering silver spears,Pierce my shameless eyes,Tear out these poisonous thoughts,And grace my mind - vacuous.
