These Words

 

These words
Are such a limp expression
Of the rage
You’ve evoked
Within me

You cannot fathom
The pain I could induce
Were I to yield
The full weight of my mind
Upon the sole task
Of destroying yours


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

Of Myself

 

If I could just
Monetize my pain
I’d be able
To exist
In this world
As myself

Until then
All I can offer you
Are these
Few
Words
Of myself

my muse likes you it seems

 

Erotica, R-18+

my muse likes you it seems
she wants to fuck you
with her words

wants to pull from you
all
you have to give
and more

wants to share you
all of you
and watch the world
fall to their knees
with desire
for the woman
that evoked
such raw expression
of ink
across paper
that not one
could put you down
until they were done
and the paper those words were written on
was spoiled by their expressed excitement


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

Uncontainable By The Bondage Of Words

 

Uncontainable
By the bondage
Of words
Its nature
Is unexplainable

Nameless
And
Formless
Yet more whole than
The even most perfect
Analogy can imply

To say it acts
Is a lie
To say it is
Is a lie
Even to call it ‘it’
Is a lie

Yet it acts
As it is
And as it does
In its way

Unfathomable
And unknowable
To everything
Other than itself
This
Despite its
Impact being
Forever felt
By everything

Or
perhaps not
As its very nature
Invalidates these words
As well as your interpretation of them


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