      Voracious Appetite

      Cruel intentions sit behind blue eyes Nothing normal about feeling this way Crawling on paper skin bruised by lies Darkness waits to seize a summer day   Sleepless nights filled with frustration  Claustrophobic words shallow and thin Filtering through arrogant conversation Naked praise wears this suspicious grin   Verbal...

      • You’ve gotta give yourself more credit, Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, P.G. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Nice, to see you again. I was pretty confident till the end. lol. It took me awhile to get the flow right, I had went through so many ideas that were cool but wasn’t working right. So though these lines worked I wasn’t sure, but from all the support in the comments, I chose wisely. lol. Appreciate you.

      • That’s razor-sharp and sinuous—like a poem with fangs. The alliteration of “verbal viper” and “voracious appetite” creates a rhythmic coil of menace and desire, as if the speaker’s confronting a charmer who cloaks cunning beneath sweetness. The image of truth dangling just out of reach—“suspending the obvious”—gives this a wicked elegance.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. The words you used to describe this piece in your eyes was amazing, brother. That means so much to me, thank you so much. Appreciate you.

      My Crumbling Fortress

      We Are Light and Dark

      When you used to gaze into my eyes  that was so beautiful...   Then I could gaze back into those emerald gems...   It wasn't the cute light of your soul, rather the beauty of your darkness...   Since we broke up, my eyes  still chase you through light...

      Our Bodies Entwined

      Our bodies entwined like a vine after wine. Something so fine... Something so right! Somewhere with just enough concealment  that we could entwine our sinful hearts and our beads of sweat on flushed skin  make our bodies slide as we entwine.
