As My Tears Run Red

  Darkness surrounds us Opening the doorway to our desires Transporting us to a place where we can be Your touch a reality Your lips my sanctuary Our souls crying out for more Holding you, I feel complete One life under your spell Leading me to unknown pleasures of happiness Where your words softly echo my every thought Where your eyes ignite my passion Someday this darkness will fall Our destiny on display for all to see Yet, we will still be Our love The beauty The pleasure The sacredness I feel on your thighs In your arms In our hearts A life full of happiness Where our words can be spoken aloud, our passions real Where we can be together One heart One soul One life

  To me, you are more than beautiful You are balance The perfection of dreams The prophet of thoughts My muse in darkness I often silently watch your every move Contemplating thoughts of desire Subtle hints of lust The projections from deep within your bounds Craving your touch Plotting my next move Our next encounter Like the Marquis, I long to take pleasure in you To pleasure you Regardless of the forbidden pain it may inflict The deeds I imagine Only pale in comparison to your beauty To life An existence we already share Felt in the bond deep inside our souls Our hearts Come to me Constance Consummate our secrets Prey on my hunger Hold me close, I am waiting for you  

I remember leaving your house at dusk that fall night, with the eerie mist that surrounded us and the brisk winds that were howling through Appalachia etched into my mind. Our sins were weighing on my soul, these forbidden desires we harbor in this illicit secret union. I could still taste you on my lips, your soft pale flesh, so sweet, so luscious. My mind entranced by the I remember leaving your house at dusk that fall night, with the eerie mist that surrounded us and the brisk winds that were howling through Appalachia etched into my mind. Our sins were weighing on my soul, these forbidden desires we harbor in this illicit secret union. I could still taste you on my lips, your soft pale flesh, so sweet, so luscious. My mind entranced by the thoughts of your beauty, but my heart torn on the reality of the situation. I started up the summit with the Beautiful South streaming out of my Ipod; the soundtrack of my life filling my mind with remorse and regret. Our unholy bond in th...

Not far from the grotto There lies a tomb Run down and dilapidated It hides the secret well Through the cobwebs and decay This empty sepulcher cries out Hoping for the master to return It did not always lie this way He was here Or was he? The name on the stone The carvings on the wall So ornate Yet, unbecoming His greatness masked by the mystery His life marred by tragedy I was a child of 13 when I discovered it Much older when I deciphered it Even older when I understood it Or was I? The heir, I was not Just a bystander to the inept Jealousy and rage filled the air How could they ignore this grand monument? Him, for that matter Sure, this house lay dormant Only a faint whisper of the wind Not even the rat or the spider ventured near Or did they? My vigil, waiting for him was long Days of staring turned to weeks Weeks to months, months to years This candle burned The flame of my innocence turned to passion Truths understood The tears of my prayers...

Today I stand Peering into dominion Searching for the pathway to your heart For years, I have waited Longing for your touch Hoping to explore the illicit boundaries When we last met The embers of jealousy turned to flame Partnerships to hatred Our identity lost Our existence no more Life is so different now I have changed My path no longer harbors light Only darkness Desires My heart remains empty though Longing for another sign A void only you could fill My fantasy, an impossible dream? Perhaps After all, I am only a memory now Your unforgiven

This is from Walking Before Dawn  (available for kindle or email me for a signed copy) and was also published by Whispering Spirits Magazine .   A lone tombstone Elisabeth Alone in the heart of this sanctuary Are you the one? The maiden we search for The Green Lady The legends vary Drowned in a swamp Taken by a scorned lover Satan's seductress I am here Alone Come to me Many have seen you walking Hitchhiking on the lone dirt road Traveling the downward spiral into the depths of stone Snap I take a picture A beautiful light shines clear Is that you? Unveil your vortex Open my blindness Let me share your story Symbols burnt into the earth surround you Did they succeed? Summoning you from your slumber Conjuring your restless spirit Flirting with an unknown evil If so, can I enter? I belong with you Come to me Silence Suddenly I see a figure Is it you dear? No Worse, it is legion These cloaked figures rise from the ashes Surrounding me They want my heart My soul My life They w...

Every night I struggle with reality My fragile heart saddened by the void in our lives My hopes A faded memory lost at sea My fears A wall of tears around my heart With you, I can live again I lay alone Waiting on your beauty to pierce the darkness To fracture the boundary that keeps us apart Beloved seraph Sweep into my dreams Comfort me with your soft whispers of love Echoes of lust Our destiny Remind me of the meaning of perfection The happiness felt in the morning interludes we share The way you complete me Every night I struggle with the loneliness My mind wandering the pathways that will be My hopes A silken vision of our bodies as one My fears A torment of the world we now share With you, I will live again I lay alone Waiting on your caress Longing to feel your flesh upon mine Precious angel Fall into my arms Tempt me with the splendor of your breast The softness of your lips The future Lead me to tranquility where our souls combine Our empti...

The unknown regions of love The helpless feelings of life My desolate heart cries out Desires Trust Passages of unknown meaning I am helpless I come I run I hide Slowly time crawls Alone in the abyss I wonder Trapped in solitude You fill my head with love Desires Trust I reach for you The pain of reality takes hold Misunderstood Look Around Feel the unsettling persona? Hopeless Fear surrounds me Can you hear the clock? I can Tick-tock, tick-tock The pulse of the unknown What is out there? Or is it in my head The pain covers everything Trembling You are gone I am alone again Who am I? A bitter taste touches my lips A hand takes my sight I can’t move Screams fill the air Can you hear me? Gone The darkness is here I am lost

I guess all of this work with the Lost Zombies projects has paid off... In all, I have finished one more chapter of my zombie epic. Here is another taste! Lost Alone My every step a mystery Only your scent draws me near Yet, you are nowhere These hours blur Cascading like the sands in a bottle of tears Only with every passing second my cravings mature It has been far too long since I tasted your womb Since your lips graced mine Now, our future is clouded by this plague So many things have changed So many lives have been impaled by the darkness By this growing hunger that drains our being That fuels every desire My skin My thoughts My veins All of who I was has gone All that remains is but walking flesh Lonely I stand Lost Alone Searching the horizon for one last embrace For one last chance to dine on your divinity

Creatures of the night surround us Romero laughs His diabolic vision of despair Of humor and laughter A misleading masterpiece for those willing to understand the genius Strangers unite Fighting a plague of humanity before they fall prey Victims, not innocent, but unforgiven of their sins Their cannibalistic nature striking fear in us all Not because of the sheer terror Or their horrific deeds But, for the primal nature lurking at our core The taste of flesh is as sweet as the fruit on the tree The lure the only difference Or is it? Instead of a snake in the garden We are persuaded by pleasure Carnal temptations leading us to flesh At the heart, the snake and the pleasures are equal These forbidden desires considered taboo So misunderstood that the thought alone often spawns remorse A lingering guilt that creates hatred And yes, these monsters for us to cheer The screens are full of surrealistic views of reality Where the zombies indulge in the carnal feasts we covet Where flesh and b...

Looking around, I can feel you near Your silent touch stroking my heart The soul that I long to share For so long that splendor has been Tempting fate with hints pleasure With visions of beauty With what can be How sweet you will taste In your arms, I feel complete Your moist lips touching mine Your soft hands so secure The rhythm of your heart flowing through my veins Echoing in my dreams Controlling my every move I have longed to feel you again To dive inside heaven and become one One life One heartbeat Our bodies exploring every inch Every crevice Our sweat drowning every fear Your shallow breath so pure So innocent Your curves guiding me through your maze Your ecstasy my pleasure Your love, our happiness

Our dreams are fleeting Leading us through a maze of unknown and delight Sometimes our only escape What would we do without these mirrors? Let our hearts and souls rot? Without dreams, we have no hope No goals to achieve Trapped in the inferno We would be an empty void Blind to the subconscious world that creates us For many they are active Memories of the avenues The parades The loves A humanity much greater than ours I would hate living in a world without dreams A fate worse than death My mirror is focused My dreams alive What about yours?

Something a bit different from me, written as part of a gift for my mother who was visiting this weekend. Somewhere beyond the vast horizon Across the violent seas or outside the Heavens above I take comfort in knowing you will be there For years, your presence was taken for granted Yet, behind the scenes you were there Waiting quietly with heartfelt love Simple feelings held deep within the meaning of a single word Within a life meant to shape everything known Everything that could be Within a Mother As the world outside changes and unseen enemies rise As families, grow older and distant phone calls become commonplace You persist steadfast and resolute Continuing to Shape the future generations as you have shaped your children And now continue to help shape your grandchildren Therefore in my heart and in the hearts of all you have touched By that cherished name you will endure You will forever be my and our Mother
