j.m. Merrill Poems

Taylor Made love
generated through sex.
The motions are clear
but the intentions are wrong.
...

Holding fast my breath
For the one that went away
Looking for a reason
Why my heart was led astray
...

A Duel of victimized love


Who is the victim?
...

Set ablaze my heart with your nomadic love
You’re now a patron to my shadow
The wind whistles softly through your hair,
Maybe you should have bathed in my love?
...

A tiny shove off for the realization of your mind

A slight tug back before it sinks in
...

Fully clothed
Laying naked in the road
Stones penetrating my body
A bathroom painted with your blood
...
