Raymond Lewis Poems

Abiding by all social rules is completely irrelevant
Because I relentlessly pursue thrills that are eloquent.
Whenever I speak an alluring charm is revealed
To mask a callousness that must be concealed.
...

I'm drowning into a hopelessly dark sea
Where worthlessness and absence are the only guarantee.
All pleasure and interpersonal enjoyment remain depleted
Because a void of nothingness leaves me maltreated.
...

My relationships are frequently characterized by instability
Because I am confused by my own vulnerability.
One day I worship my lover beyond measure,
Whenever we are together I’m lost in pleasure.
...
