exposed

 

Erotica, R-18+

her body
art
in its own right
yet so much more
than merely well shaped
flesh
for her body
inspired the expression of her soul
lines 
upon paper
lines 
exposing that very same body
to the world
and in turn
to herself


This poem is from the book, Kink, Volume 3.

use my body

 

Erotica, R-18+

use my body
as a canvas
for your art
write upon my flesh
with your tongue
and drink
the nectar
that flows
from my muse
into yours
express yourself
fully
through me

Tinker

 

Erotica, R-18+

She’s a day dreamer
And a night thinker
A creative breeze
A wisdom drinker
Able to be serious
But prefers to tinker
With art, life, and sex
She likes it kinkier

Degrade Me

 

Erotica, R-18+

Veiled insults
Read as compliments
Read as flirtation
Arousal
Your words
Degrading me
Beating me down
Picking at my insecurities
Revealing my darkest truths
But
Because they come from you
Because I know your intention
Because of the connection we share
They feel like love
Filling me up
Making me feel safe
Embracing my depravity
Living out my animalistic lust
Encouraging
Allowing
Freeing me
Totally

The Artist’s Dilemma

 

She been dulled
Stupefied and lulled
A painful recognition
Of love confined

Her life defined
Critiques and hard lines
Shrines to inner conflict
Oft spoken in rhyme

Words to pry
Words to satisfy
Words to lie
Words to live by

Dredged from depravity
The page a consul
Her soul’s aspect
Judged

Her life fudged
An act
Hiding truths
Expressed in ink

The artist’s dilemma
To flow or stow
To create or embody
To scratch with pen or knife

To be or not to be
That is the question
A modern problem
Shakespearean to common
Passed down without solution

She seeks absolution
A promise
A freedom
A satirical lyrical empirical miracle

Something
Anything
To break the cycle
To begin again

She comes full circle
Thoughts mulled over
Conclusions culled
Her love is dulled
And she’s confined


This poem is from the book, ‘A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken’.

Unspoken Desires

 

Unspoken desires for more
Dreamed onto canvas
My hand creating an image
Of what my body longs to explore

A mirror into my deviance
Put on display
For everyone
To ignore

Will you be the one
That will help me
Paint with flesh
Things I was taught to abhor?

The moment
Will be our medium
Our actions expressed
Is all I’m asking for

Another Bad Day?

 

Another bad day?
Good,
Your art will thank you.

Bad days are just writing fodder.
Fuel for the fire.

More content.
Increasing tension.
Emotional depth.
Nuanced complexity.

Suffer now,
Write later.

Suffer now,
Draw later.

Suffer now,
Create later.

Past pain providing prospective pieces of professional products.
Proof that there is always a silver lining.
