Lay me down
strip bare
outside facades
dig deep
to the center
of who I am
uncover the soul
who reveals
to no one
except those
who appreciate
the poetry
of me

Notebooks and secrets
seducing empty days
ink escape
mind’s playground
lewd fantasies fulfilled
dangerous desires consummated
breaths of impure ecstasies
giving life
inner obsession
she could not control

Born to no religion
I create my own
faith in pen
prayers to imagination
I worship
the human body and soul
entities never to be
fully understood
never loved enough
born to no religion
I still believe

Dear Poet,
Breathe permission
on my heart
allow its fullness
to spill onto pages
with passion’s force
pushing to heights
I only thought
a dream
Open its doors
freeing dormant years
behind bars of society
crying release
from painful incarceration
Bestow the gift of abandon
unrestrained imagination
pouring through pen
without thoughts
of judgement
only thoughts
of the privilege
to exist…
Dear Poet,
Breathe permission

Painting- “Silent Prayer” by Anna Razumovskaya
Deprived of your flesh
writing poetry with mine
empty blankness
wrapping me in cold shivers
warmth of our lines combining
distant memories
still held in night stars

A writer lives
in a world of silence
sometimes welcome calm
other times deafening torment
the heart may beat
words falling into place
like good little soldiers
or it may stutter and stammer
at a loss to find rhythm
or any sense
wretched cycles
from morning’s light
to midnight darkness
absent sounds of a soul
searching for a breath of life

At times
I think myself
a writer…
But really
I am passion
waiting to breathe.

Dear Muse,
Let your heart of fire
warm my delicate skin
simmering words
until ready for birth
upon pristine pages.
Be my passionate partner
behind the verse
of my soul.
