I wish I were a snake;

So that I could crawl out of this skin, And become white and pale.

Nothing within, will change,

But, perhaps, everything I do will become acceptable through your tinted lens.

A pity that beneath the thin film,

Our souls resonate similar thoughts and feelings.

But this surface muffles mine,

And empowers…

It’s cruel when pity or hate,

Taints the love we bear for loved ones.

Is our love the cliched rose?

Which vine of the intertwined;

-love-hate-pity

Will grow stronger with time?

I’m staring at you now and wonder………

“What are you thinking about?” You ask. Your voice shattering inner silence.

“Just how after being…

Truth is the pointed end of a dagger.

You accused me of betrayal.

You bared your bleeding wounds,

And told me I was a ruthless murderer.

Perhaps, you needed the slippery Slope of lies to slither

Out of sight; wrap yourself tight

In the comfort of deceit,

And pretend you didn’t need to

Explain your…

Don’t judge me if you see me watching porn.

Sometimes, we all need to fill in gaping gaps of our reality

With the lure of fantasy.

It’s better than finding receipts of shady hotels; payments for bouquets you never received.

Or the lie of taking my work so seriously, so you may see less of me.

Let me slip away into the orgasmic delight…

I am a live grenade
Waiting to explode….
Beware!
The shrapnel of my thoughts
Will fly and wound sensitive souls
Perhaps, we will all bleed,
In a collective consciousness of
Human pain.

The flesh was never intended for trade;

A commodity at an auction,

Set for the highest bidder.

Intertwined in flesh and bone,

Does the real ‘you’ get mauled

And molested by paws as you groan

And moan in faked delight?

I wonder if poverty alone

Could set millions below that critical line of indecency?

‘College…

When words seem redundant…..

What gestures do we make

To make ourselves heard?

I hold your hand and look into

Your eyes.

I let your gentle embrace grow

Tighter as I breathe in deeply,

And my sigh speaks volumes.

We respond to each other’s

Soft squeeze of entwined fingers,

And that says it all.

But today…

I am a sinner;

Let me blame it on the Original Sin

That tainted mankind for all eternity.

Let’s not forget, in modern times,

As most people try,

Someone else is to blame-

Not you nor I.

It doesn’t matter if I have a brain,

That works!

And can distinguish choices.

I sin in the comfort,

Of leniency;

My…
