“Love is a Demon”

Their eyes sought me out
cross the waiting room floor…
Their gaze drifted down
to the demon adored…
Their feet and their legs
brought them quick as you please…
and I barely kept up
from off of my knees.

Hot Doctor Craig
and Doctor Antell
approach me
and coach me
on living so well…

They compliment
garment
and offer me sex
behind my closed eyes
as they search for who’s next.

The shirt that I wore from Party That Wasn’t /
Middle-Earth shirt worn by someone who doesn’t
exist or persist in interest of others…
I barely seek to or speak to my brothers
who once stripped for me
in convent abandoned…
this clothing’s been holding me;
constant companion.

It’s Nina who sings to me
blissed through my tears…
who aids and then fades to me
kissed through my fears…
as music comes up and
and asks with a twirl:

A demon to some…
could I be your girl?

For Antell & Arden, Simone & Barker,
& the lovers that we never were.

Unanswered Horror

I can feel tomorrow’s intensity
like a sunburn
that kisses my skin
and stings my denim blue eyes.

Those inexperienced events
wash over me,
somehow more real
than anything happening right now.

Tomorrow, two long held desires
may reach fruition
and my reactions are impossible to calculate
yet just try telling my overstimulated
and compulsively analytical mind.

I’m held prisoner here in the present,
denied experience, answers or closure.

“Please let me go.”

“I’ve waited long enough.”

“I don’t care if it hurts!”

But nobody answers,
because some things need to be endured.

Perhaps the February furnace is cold
but I won’t learn how alone I truly am
until 36 hours have passed and leaves me to reconcile
in the aftermath.
