Stephen Hovious Poems

Molecular Ecstasy, In and out of me, a brighter blue than the deep blue sea,

In and out of this, I don't wanna kiss,
...

I guess I meant nothing to you,
You used me and now you’re through,
I’d like to go back to when you said “I love you”,
So I can tell myself not to say it too.
...

White powdered nose, torn up clothes,

Passed out in the middle of the floor,
...

My false idol, my secret desire,

Nothing in this world can take me higher.
...

Teach me to fly; so I can soar amongst your clouds,
Give me a light; so I can dispel countless dark shrouds;
Let me in close so I can feel your soft touch and breathe your soft scent;
Let me so I won’t become entangled in my descent.
...
