Goddess

The hues of her beauty…
Were indefinite,
Reflecting a kaleidoscope of brilliance
Awakening divine coalesce
Liberating pathways to other dimensions
Yet…
This only concealed the true spectrum
Of this goddess' power.

Scantily attired in her satin dress.
Knitted to perfection
With remains from broken hearts
Threaded inseam.
The fabric drenched red
From mangled arteries
Her intentions were clear
As she sieged the comfort of my bed

Trapped.
Cornered by the flames
Of her insatiable desire
She vowed to burn me asunder
Vowed to devour me whole
Rid me of my inhibitions
With the fervor of her power
My pleads burned to ash
Embers drifting to nothingness.
Her words ablaze with passion
Hid the truth of my ruin.
She tempted ravenous rapture
But admitted nothing of oblivion
As she sought to conquer my lust
And lay me to rest.

She toyed at my emotions
Jeering on with her seduction
Tempting my desire
But I knew
This goddess
This symbol of beauty
She, would be the death of me.
Ceremoniously amongst the lily white petals
Withering away as the sun faded
She would lay my head
Gently at the heels of jagged rocks
With a kiss from her blood stained lips
Forever branding my life as her own.

Pieces

Until that dying day

When the last breath has expired

Escaping from collapsed lungs

Whisked away to dance once more in the breeze

When this body returns to the dust

Reeking in a pit of decay

Wasting away with the memories of yesteryear

A prisoner to your love I will forever remain.

Guise

This mask I wear is not for me

But to further sedate your sense of security

Ever curious to see what lies beneath

Fixated on the paradox that is me.

I swing from both ends of the pendulum

Emotionally unstable - ever shifting

The outstretched corners of my lips

You call a smile

I consider the icing on this cake of lies.

I am constantly reminded why I favor this solitude,

These for walls in the space of my mind

Away from pointless interactions

Or needless social bonds

Built on a constant need to break each other down

I am constantly reminded why I retreat to my shell

And leave the world to crumble

Patiently waiting to watch it all burn.

Maybe I half expect the disappointments that follow

And as a result of this I never fully commit

To express more than I can sacrifice in any relation

Because at the end of the day

People will be people

No. Matter. What.
