Midnight swallowed overweening
pride, unbidden, in all its hollowness,
as worthlessness dug up a permanent
hole around the edges
of dreary mornings.

My eyes
make love to you
in stormy nights

while you sleep.

Wounds

My wounds bleed
invisible ink

on paper skin ...

Bound

Our life is not our own when we have
our loved ones in it.

Arrows

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cupid does not always shoot
straight arrows.

I wonder
if I am (still)

the distant roar
that travels shyly
past your ears

while you sleep.

Heights

I walk on eggshells,
while we build up
new heights

(of passion),

and open staircases
with seemingly no
returns.
