Evening, Lover
A sheer silken night
murmurs sighs across my skin
and teases my thighs.

Quest
Following the stars,
I chase the edge of the night
past the golden dawn.
Hidden
I have a world inside of me,
a place which no one else can see
but if you wish to seek the truth,
to part my veils and find the proof…
Not all you’ll find is pretty.
Skinned-knee smarts
You can make mistakes –
life has opportunities
to try it again.
Siren Suicides
Siren, sing me a song,
make me feel I belong
in thrall of your charms,
within reach of your arms –
what could go wrong?
– inspired by @kseniaanske’s upcoming book
Wounded
You leave me feeling
like a cigarette heartburn
on a scar-crossed heart.
Once, twice, never thrice
Learn from your mistakes.
Grow, change, evolve, but do not
forget history.
The miracle 2
Miracles are the result of hard work,
no matter what anyone tells you.
But I sincerely hope they don’t
lose their shine with their secret,
like a magician’s trick
when we know the method.
The birds and the bees
Springtime in the air,
the world rouses from slumber
and it gets BUSY.
The miracle
“No wonder you don’t smile much,”
they said regarding my sadness.
I shook my head and said,
“No – it’s a wonder I smile at all.”
