Hollow Promises

You sing through my brain
and I write at your mercy…

You cling to my pain
and allight controversy…

You seem so alive
yet are likely a ghost…

A dream to deprive me
precisely; a most
diaphanous shred
of something denied me…

Blasphemous bed
with nothing inside me…

In grinding charades
I observe nothing squalid…

Been dining on shades
but deserve something solid.

Invisible Men

Nakedness frenzy
which we cannot meet…

Making us envy
rich men caught in street…

Biblical femmes
in temperatures low…

“Invisible men
in the emperor’s clothes…”

Amuse themselves slightly
while tithing the heartless…

And lose themselves nightly
while writhing in darkness.

STARVED

I’m one half of a couple
laying one side of a bed…

should I cry or laugh or cuddle?

I can’t escape my dread

city
country
heat & frost
& contradictions keep

me hungry and exhausted
but I cannot eat or sleep

you haunt me
without equal
as I thunder
through our hallways

I want you
resting peaceful
yet I hunger
for you always.
