POETRY RANDOM THOUGHTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT…
Take my mind and take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal heal heal heal
And take my past and take my sins
Like an empty sail takes the wind
And heal heal heal heal
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
Take my heart and take my hand
Like an ocean takes the dirty sand
And heal heal heal heal
And take my mind and take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal heal heal heal
Come sail away with me
Not to escape the world
But to soften inside it
Let the water be gentle tonight
Let it move like breath
Like the rise and fall of a quiet chest beside you
Feel the blanket of stars
Tucked gently at your chin
Feel the boat sway
Like arms that know exactly
How tight to hold
Come sail away with me
Not to be lost
But to be gathered
Out here
You do not have to be brave
You only have to breathe
And I promise
The sea will keep your secrets
And the earth will keep you warm
Come Sail Away With Me
I loved you like a wound I would not close
I loved you like a river carved in stone
I loved you like hands pressed tight against a crimson seam
As if the ache confirmed a dream
I bled myself to keep your colors bright
Spilled quiet truths across the night
Turned all my dark to feed your light
And called it love it stole my sight
I gave you veins of mercy pulse and breath
Let you drink deeply from my fragile nest
Mistook devotion flirting close with death
For holy fire rising from my chest
Love should never drain the marrow from my bones
Nor turn my sacred body stone
Collecting shattered fragments of my soul
Here I stand still bleeding still whole
Wires Hang me from lines
Feeling my dysfunction
Misused like concubines
Whispered codes of corruption
Neon kink in the signs
Leathered love in suction
Velvet vice that entwines
Sweet decay in seduction
Scum drips down from the shrines
Perfumed rot in production
Sin stitched into my spine
Rusted chain of obstruction
Basement prayers and confines
Latex saints in eruption
Dark desires in design
Tethered tight to compunction
Sirens swallow the pines
Static-crave consumption
I swing between faulty lines
Crowned in filth and redemption
Prayer bead count in my mind

I fell in love the moment I met him
I knew he wasn’t mine
But he grew on me
Like a 19th century bottle of
Old money kind’a wine
She knew about us for years
And for years she took a back seat
Because she knew without me
His heart was strangely weak
He was a police officer
And in the line of duty, he was shot
I screamed!
Please tell me he is not dead!
Please tell me he is not!!
He lay in the hospital
In that dreadful coma for 20 long weeks
It was not her body he longed for
Between those hospital sheets
It was hard for her to deny
Because she knew if she did not find me
Her husband would surely die
This woman knew he was in love with me
And only wanted her husband to survive
So willing to do anything
To keep her husband alive
She grabbed his phone
Braced herself
And stood up on her feet
She sought me out knowing
His heart was strangely weak
I laid with him
And she approved of me
In that hospital bed
She silently requested help
And pushed me towards his bed
A few days later he awoke
I jumped up from between the sheets
And it killed her
As she looked on
Knowing
I was the reason
His heart still beat
It’s been three years now
And she is still his wife
And everyday
I regret the day
I saved that bastard’s life!
MISTRESS – POETRY
Love is not always thunder
Sometimes it is a whisper
Resting its head against your doubt
Breathing there
Until you soften

I’ve noticed once again that it’s as if we both have be in a mutual presence all of these years..
A chosen moment a time capsule that captured moments from our brief encounter that obviously were to make it’s presence known at it’s chosen moment
How time at times can well define it’s capable of “stillness”
I have something that lives deep within my heart that belongs to you and I hope and pray that God records each moment that I think of you because you are priceless and so very special to me
With you, LaToya this truly is my opportunity to show you in time what would mean the world to me if we could create more of
Treasured moments
~ Edward ❤️
One part of me leans forward
Hungry for warmth and witness
Aching to be chosen
To rest inside a voice
That says stay
The other stands guard
Arms crossed over old scars
Measuring risk by memory
Counting exits
Before counting hope
Want reaches first
Bare hands no armor
Believing love is a landing
A place to exhale
Without flinching
Fear answers slower
But louder
Reminding me what longing cost
How easily doors close
Once you step through
So I wait at the threshold
Letter in hand heart exposed
Wanting you to let me in
While fear edits every line
Before it’s sent
Everybody knows my name now
But somethin’ ’bout it still feels strange
Like lookin’ in a mirror, tryna steady yourself
And seein’ somebody else
And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I’m older, it’ll all calm down
But it’s killin’ me now
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you’d know me
‘Cause I’ve had everything
But no one’s listening
And that’s just lonely
I’m so lonely
Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
And maybe that’s the price you pay
For the money and fame at an early age
And everybody saw me sick
And it felt like no one gave a shit
They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you’d know me
‘Cause I’ve had everything
But no one’s listening
And that’s just lonely
I’m so lonely
I have these thoughts of someone I met
These thoughts are pure with no regret
How their existence lives in my heart
I pray to God they never part
These thoughts are of you
They have a place
That expresses my love for you
All on my face
I won’t ever again grant you
Your wish to never say I love you
LaToya you had me pissed
I dream of a journey
Created for the both of us
Not a ounce of pressure
My patience run deep for us
When that moment arrives
I’ll place my arms around you
And hear your sweet soft voice say
Edward I love you
And I’ll take a deep look into your eyes
And say LaToya I love you too
You can’t be surprised
