Clear as Night

Sometimes in life things move fast. So fast we cry to the heavens for mercy.
We beg on our hands and knees for the opportunity to breathe.
Just a few moments of peace in the midst of madness and chaos.

There are other times when things in life move slow.
Times where you're stuck working and working and working with absolutely
no compensation in sight.
"Keep your eyes on the prize," they say. "Your time is coming," they say. And well of course it is. Time always comes when it's supposed to, but never when you desire.

What you want the most lands at the bottom of your list of needs.
And it should come as a relief when the universe intervenes to keep you on track.
Instead you're heartbroken, feeling half empty, feeling the large void in your chest because
you want something the universe says you don't need.

And those are the times when things in life move neither fast nor slow.
Instead you're frozen in place, stuck where you are.
There is no image forming ahead off you.
There is nothing for you to see.

I fear this place everyday as if we were strangers who have yet to be acquainted.
But we were more than just familiar, this space in time and I...
Hating each other with intense feelings of disgust, causing nothing but permanent damage...
And yet I'm the only one to suffer.

It is in this dark place where I find my space of clarity. I have finally figured it all out,
It being that I know absolutely nothing at all.
The key to unlocking the door that let's in the light is to embrace.
Embrace the cold dark shadows in hopes of one day feeling the warmth from the sun.

When walking blind it is impossible to see where you stand, but the blinders
vanish, the glare eventually fades, and one day you will see
clearly for the first time.

Me and Mr.Hollywood - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Donovan had backed me into a corner, literally. I hadn’t noticed that I started to back away from him until I backed into the dining room table adjacent to his kitchen. He looked down and smiled at me as I stumbled into the table and I couldn’t even blame him. I had gotten so jumpy since he started this awkward conversation and I was acting really nervous.. His eyes continued to gaze into mine, burning with such an intense passion. Donovan had never looked at me like this before but I knew the look well. After all of the time we’ve spent together I had become all too familiar with Donovan’s ways with the ladies. He used the exact same look when he would look at women he was trying to seduce. Not just any women but the women who threw themselves at his feet shamelessly for one night of bliss with a movie star. He would give this particular look full of lust and desire to the women he wanted to lay with him at night. And he knew the power behind his gaze. He was not ignorant...

The Chosen One: An Erotic Poem

I haven't been touched since the day he left A few have tried but the tips of their fingers pass right through me As if I'm not even there Invisible or an apparition Blending into my surroundings Because I turn down the noise In fear of Being louder than they all expect I can't seem to feel anything  Besides the growing disappointment With deep roots planted in my loins,  It's limbs outstretched  Covering all signs of pleasure with  It's thick black cloud of smoke, Rolling in like tsunami waves  But in you came like the strongest Gust of wind With your heart reaching towards the heavens Not even the darkness and depth of the oceans in which I reside Could make you flinch or bat your eyes You subdued me even before letting your hands graze my soft Yet neglected body You pierce through my soul As you analyze all the unkept desires Hidden behind Eyes too loud  To hold secrets But quiet enough  To go...

Me and Mr. Hollywood - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 I laid there on the massage table for a while. My bottom jaw had dropped and I was stuck in shock. My mind was racing with thoughts. Who was this girl? How the fuck did she get in here? What the fuck did I just get myself into? Did that really just happen? Ten minutes or so had passed before I gathered my thoughts and then just like that I was fine. Of course, I wasn't okay with the situation, but something came over me while I was sitting there on that table. I'm not too sure exactly what "it" was, but it was like a numbness. I went from being on the verge of tears to being dangerously calm. I dressed quickly and then headed to the door. I paused as I reached out for the knob, taking a moment to prepare for whatever was to come once I stepped outside of that room. Once I got in the hallway I could hear Donovan and his mystery woman attempting to have a hushed argument. I didn't want them to hear me coming so I crept down the hallway as quietly as I ...
