POEM:
I would let you eat me alive,
Devour me whole, and
Digest me completely.
I would let you set me ablaze-
Bright lights engulfing me;
I’d burn to a crisp.
You could carry me to sea,
Drag me down, drown me,
And I’d still thank you.
You took her first,
So far away…
If I went next, from here
to Her,
I’d go.
Oh, wrath of Death,
My body’s yours.
Take me- your plaything –
Don’t hold back now!
Swallow, sink or smolder,
Just stop my sorrow.
Swiftly send me to my heart.

Spotted carpets, sticky floors,
Rancid odors, saggy plaster. . .

an empress dwells beneath the waves gray.
With tresses of hair, like golden seaweed,
she reigns; a blue pearl - carefree.Searching the bayside;
Nature Man hunts for lost treasure.

POEM:
Slammed doors,
raised voices,
tears hitting the floor,
she’s faced with choices.She sleeps alone
for the first time
in a long time
with a heavy heart.Her own painful words echo in her head
and guilt consumes her.
What started the fig...
