Crimson Connection

Red = Heat.
Your usually luscious lips,
Now dry and cracking,
Broke the spell you have
Had on me thus far.

Red = Fury = Rage.
My intention to leave obviously angered
The sightless demon in you.
Do you know you're throwing
Black plates in my direction?

Red = Screaming.
Now you've gone berserk
Smashing whatever is in your way,
Calling me a handicap hater
At the top of your lungs.

Red = Love = The S Word.
I hold you down, and you pull me to a kiss,
Your lips slowly regaining their
Enslaving power.
Red equals love equals hate equals everything in between.

Braille Boy Blue

Unseeing Lover,
Shrouded in a cloke of undiscovered realities:
I may easily drown
In the depths of blue pools
That are your eyes.
Will you even notice?

Your hand, tightly held by mine.
Can you feel the agony,
The thousand daggers
Shooting up your spine?
That is my reflection looking back at me
While I am lost in your sapphire seas.

Listen most earnestly
To the soft wails of the wind,
For it carries with it
My desperate litanies
For life's visional beauty
To be a shared experience.

Let me bring you close
Enough to taste the misery in my tears.
To smell the relentless hope
For sight on my skin.
Shall we bask in
Blind passion?

The Art of Overthinking

You
Are a Mind Invader--
Rediscovering vague
and cobwebbed corners,
Putting lanes of old, abandoned
Hopes and solitude
Back on the map.

Yesterday seemed like
Eternity, every moment passing
Left hanging, on pause.
Each second, a troubled
Exhale.

Though we are a terrible cliché,
"it's all been said and done"...
There remains a gate wide open
For redemption.
