Secrets
Secrets Secrets Do you want to know how this feels? Consequences of fire drips into retribution shellacking my flesh_____ If I Could I would make a pledge with the furies and for just one moment the tyrant could be me… in my thoughts your touch_____ (brilliant resurrection) hand to mouth in hushed eye___ veiled kiss… Your passion pierces deep into …unfurled soft parts of my being______ Twisting and turning I rise up through the mud and stain the light… You the architect of this vista mouth of my poetry good of my evil… here where my secrets drink the gold of your sky______ toward where the echo of your voice swallows my curves tasting my openings… in view of this: (where my syllables undulate to the tone of your vowels) _____where the velvet shadows bend into the sacred trinity birth is given….

Falling From Grace
The flower that grows up my spine reminds me that falling from grace is at the center of being human.
