Harlequin Rose Poems

I began by loving women
to the exclusion of men
for, every man I knew
was Judas in the flesh
...

At night I am everything I fear
In the morning I am nothing I can't handle
I claim the dawn
for yesterday is simply what I was
...

In this moment of temporary bliss
I love you...

my heart stalled
...

The crest of day
lies just betond the bend
iin the road
overcast in a warm sephia-tone
...

You have come here
in pursuit of your deepest urge
you have simply wanted
an object to crave
...

Beloveds
now I know that I know nothing
all it took was burning parchment
and a moonlit ocean
...

We remember nothing of the night
other than that it changed our whole lives
there was something different int he darkness
a whole new high
...

Father,
I could choose you
or I could choose time...
...

I cannot explain what I heard
in the moan of the suffering
I do not claim to know
why the night covered the day
...

Fragile broken thing
searching for a secret beyond your insecurity
but heed my warning
precious maiden
...
