David Orioli Poems

Eyes luminous as stars sear my hidden lust

Your heart like a black hole betrays my trust
...

Our love was like a candle bright
The closer I got the more it burned
Like a moth I was tricked by your light
The more it hurt evermore I yearned
...

The mind and heart are severed
But now are tethered
The heart skips a beat
While the brain sinks in defeat
...

A reflection of red
Bold blood lettering
Softly consuming
But now
...

You've controlled the tides of love

Stretching them from up above
...
