Love Poems - Short - Memory

In front of flying daggers
Eyes sat and stared
Transfixed and unprepared
For hearts to be hesitant
Baited breath, I sat and waited
Knowed not how to show
Hands unfolded
Tempted, stated intent
And then you held them
Read my mind
For I loved you
Glorious moment
Fingers went numb
But I would not have took them
Hold me longer, clasp again.

Love Poems - ill

Behind the curtain
Behind the stars
Behind the screen
Behind the glitter
Under the snow

There we find things
Best left unseen
That others may know
But it would be best if they
Don't show

Even now,
So long ago, I regret
That I asked and pulled back
The curtain
Unmasked
Something ugly

Oh my heart bleeds
Every moment, every second
When I remember the sickness
A body laid waste
When I heard those words
You spoke

But I didn't have to search
No I dared not look
But every trail
Leads back to those three
You took

A lie you told
Maybe to prevent my pain
But when I look
Into those eyes
I wonder
Which man you really are?

And now
All promises are broken
You are more lost than saved
More wicked then depraved
For letting me suffer
A lost idol, a lost heart

I am sickened
To know so many have taken pleasure
In you
And that sweet intimacy
Is lost

And now heart and mind
Has followed body
Abandon post
Fail to respond
No words exchanged
Softly spoken

I want to hear
I want to speak
To whisper to you
While you are near
Hear promises longed to keep

But mind
Body
Heart
Lies with another
And I am sick
That snow hides mud
And behind the curtain
The mighty Wizard
Was only a man
Who failed to catch
My star
When it fell.

Poems - Seven Divine Virtues - Frenum (Abstinence) (I)

A body to go hungry
A body to be denied
Each night still lasts the longest
For those that fail to satisfy

I bestow, award
Some value
To that which
I deny
But to indulge
Just steals
That for which
I try

Pure,
Untouched virgin
This body is a gift
Received, delivered
Sealed and stamped
With your kiss

A seal that shall be broken
By you
By one, alone
Receiving all as token
That in return
It's you I wish to own

Two bodies denied
Sweeter, valued
When at last they are
Devoured

For each share
'Break bread'
And wittness that first
Experience
In another
That is sacred

Abstinence
Thou art, a truly indulgent gift
For in your virtue alone
Lies the power
To make bread
Glorious to devour

And shared with those I love
The gratest gift instead.

Poems - Elucidate

There is a space
A sea of time and memory
Between you and me
We may have reached utopia
This is our 'no place'

I've tried so hard
And played your tunes
Watched you in the dark
Yet I still cannot discern
What is hidden in your heart

Have you truly forgotten
The magic, the moment
The flutter of the heart
Or the joy of playing
The perfect role
To you I gave the 'mentor' part

I wonder
Is it of no comfort to see
So much of you, inside of me
To share, to love
To be
Each takes
All parts of me

Once, I held you in my arms
Heard confessions, gave you charms
You opened your soul
In private, in trust
But now, as cold as stone
I cannot truly say
I know you

Frustration, Array
I'm all at a loss
Never knew the price I had to pay
If only I could understand
The thoughts and feelings
That flow through your mind and heart
Each day, and never planned

Maybe I would be content
To hear you simply say;
"I still think of you
Each minute, each moment
Day by day."

Poems - Seven Deadly Sins - Invidia (Envy)

Envy is a worm
Nestled in my brain
An ever present burning
That drives me insane

One cannot be content
Nor have peace of mind
When all the while
This worm, it burrows
Reminds me what's not mine

It coils, thin, convulsing body
Squeezes anger
But lacking hate
Offers little satisfaction
In any step I choose to take

Envy is a maggot
Swallowed,
Whole and plump
Seething in my stomach

Delights that I intake
The taste of sweet success
Or happiness,
Suffers to turn bitter
Fester, absess

Blind devouring creature
Cannot truly discern
What serves to feed it
Or for what I yearn

Envy is a foreign curse
Inflicted on the body
But no simple cause or cure
Can be remedied

The eyes, the heart, my ears detect
Will hurt, despise, repent, regret
And suffer to endure
As envy gains its daily bread

Envy,
If you have my heart's desire
If I am to be denied
Envy,
Be my supper
But only til
I am fulfilled
And truly satisfied.
