Whispers lost to inbred pride
...

Sometimes I remember
I see ghosts, pale shadows
Vague reflections of yesterdays
A muddle of memories

My love is no longer fire
...

Date: Jan.19,2024

I, myself a dragon
I love most shiny things
...

And it came to pass…
The last drops
Drip, drip, dripping
Like rain off the rusty barn roof
...

Time does not erase the wind
Alight my windowpane
No more than time to chase the clouds
Or stop the winter’s rain
...

Locked away and rarely fed
A cardinal bright in beauty red
Sings in spite the rusted cage
Woven round by fire and rage
...

I covet his sweet hungry lips

Midnight Kisses

Breathing slow, breathing deep
