Your voice filled my empty, weak soul. 

Your trance like moves set the pace.

Always whisking me to your dark place.
Safe in your presence, I have no fears.

Our duet is harmonious yet lacks the tangibility of a song.
Your noteless beat makes its way into my heart.
You've learned the melody to my favorite song.
The serenade your eyes elude have me craving your every want.
My hands stumble across your skin.
I sing the song that wakes the restless dead. 
Every cord struck by the perfect starry sky.
 Let it fall on those who can hear the music of our moonlit nights.
Your lust filled lips quiet your tongue.


Suffocated by hunger and unquenchable thirst,
my heart gazes over the past.
Kiss my eyes and wish me well, 
help me to see past what could have been. 
Give me the strength to want sing...in a different duet.

Paper Skin



He stands before me, he leans in,
His hand is warm against mine, we are heart to heart.
I wait in anticipation as his eyes follow my every move.
I'm lost in his words and crave his soft lips on mine.

Our bodies touching, innocently as we sit side by side.
laughter fills the space of curious minds.
He watches my lips as i speak.
His loaded eyes keep me guessing.

Scars begin to surface.
We separate.
Angel of silence passes,
tongues of lust are taken,
replaced by soft eyes and hard skin.
I can feel the cold rise from his bones.

We try to pack silence with words.
tongues of fire ignite, 
the sound is obscured by the tension in his eyes.
Our wine stained lips offer courage.
As his hand touches mine,
excitement races through my veins. 
our faces meet...
he sits back, a cloud of smoke leaves his lips and mine,
we watch as the temptation rises. 
this paper doll skin waiting for a rip...

Drift away...


There's always a small ache, 

My heart hurts with every beat.
In my minds eye I see him holding his baby girl,
Smile filled with love.
Hands full with his only real joy...

She's two now...
I see her as he rocks her to sleep. Tiny hands wrap his fingers.
He can't help but love.

She's six now...
Her eyes light up when "daddy" leaves her lips and with that bold name he puts all her fears to rest.
I see him as he rocks her, little arms around his neck, little legs hang by his waist, and her brunette head rests under his fingers as he strokes her hair. 

She's 18 now....
I see her as he holds her head, her face filled with tears,
"He broke my heart dad,"
he caresses her hair;  his arms are her shelter and her hurt is put to rest. 

I see her tell me she loves him, 
her smile is filled with promise, 
"I'm getting married...." 
I see him filled with fear; he has to let his little girl go.

A bond that only god could create, I've broken. 
A bond only man could complete, I've taken away. 

Heal my helpless soul…I'm forever at your mercy.




taken what's mine




Heavy is the evening fog as it creeps over my aching heart.

Where are you going and where have you been? 
Wet cold rain hits her slumbering eyes, refreshing as she wakes.
Where are you going and where have you been?
Her warm breaths meet the cold air.
Where are you going?
The morning hits her and softly lights her bare skin.
Where have I been?
The wet earth beneath her soils the peach flesh.
Where am I going?
Cold air enters her lungs bringing the frozen corpse to life.
Where have I been?
You've taken all I am.
Where am I going?
You've changed all that i'll be.
Where have I been?
Pieces of me seep in to the black earth.
Where am I going?
The rain sets in and I am born again. 
Slow to rise. 
I gather flowers in sadness to wish the pieces of me a fare well. 
You've ruined and filled me with madness I can't leave behind. 
Where am I going?
