Passion

Pulsating,
Awakening all of my senses.
Sensuality that is insuppressible takes over,
Only to heighten the perception of every
Nuance in our movements together.

Young Love

Yesterday my dreams were filled with
Only you.
Unpredictable, sensitive,
Never taking my love for
Granted.

Lying here alone, my thoughts are
Only of you.
Very precious to me and
Endlessly easing my mind.

Endangered Species

Existing in solitude.
No one is there, open to devour my appropriated needs.
Guilt overwhelms me for ever needing anyone.
Repulsed is each person
Who decides to care about me.

Scared of putting myself on the line.
Endlessly searching for comfort and compassion.
Intuitively knowing that
Everyone would have to be sick to need or want me.

An Old Gray Building

Angular, narrow.

Overlooking the river.
Laughing at its diseased residents.

Greedy and ruthless towards
Aliens whose hopes have yearned for reinstatement.

Busily under construction.
Its dwellers living
Damaged in its fortress of
Isolation and loneliness.
No days in their pasture are green.

Forever Alone

Feeling alone,
Overwhelmed by rejection and excruciating worthlessness.
Verified existence only through rejection.

Abandoned in my loneliness,
And no one can see to overlook my
Nagging sense of being eternally alone.

Margaret

My friend who was in solitude
Afraid not of my anger.
Reassuring me that efforts were not wasted.
Guarded I was,
Always afraid of being hurt,
Rejected, or despised.
Eternally grateful I will remain to someone who
Took the time to try and understand me.

Desperation

Dreary and frantic,
Endless in nature.
Suicide a possibility.
Eternally begging for a reprieve.
Alone, tortured, isolated.
Only remaining to feel the
Never-ending pain.
