Poet. Movie geek. Dramatic but lazy. Wistfully nonchalant. Passionately disinterested in oxymorons.

In days gone by
we'd court lawlessness
for a mind-blowing high
now, more inclined
to consult the rule book—
thumb its pages
curled up on the couch,
stemming the urge
to go wild
but sometimes
the high highs
come calling,
& we give in
'cause to live each day
run of the mill
is a slow way
to die.

We stood beneath
a portentous dusk—
deep topaz & ruby
made a
swirling cauldron
of the sky
& cawing rooks
warned of dark magic
all about us
a flash of lightning
bewitched us
into a stolen kiss
& as
the thunder clapped
our fate was sealed—
no matter
our doom would be
together.

Sometimes,
it's a valid
show of love
to leave
to evade
the gauntlet
of despair
that precedes
the end,
cause limited
damage
to be single,
better than
to be in the
weeds of misery,
when hope's
foliage blooms
soon enough
only better
to have known
way back when,
before life forced
the lesson.

The smell of wild garlic
was all around
when he took my hand
in the quiet wood
the trees held
a hopeful breath
& shed a flurry of leaves
all about us
as he kissed me,
they exhaled
a gentle breeze
that shook the world
they wanted to believe
in fairytales
just as much
as we did.

I took a wrong turn
& ended up
on a side quest
that lasted years
when I returned
to the right track
the way was blocked,
there was no
going back
as I reeled & spun
in every direction
that was when
I realised
that
this
was
just
life.

On route to that place
somewhere between
dusk & midnight
under the moon's
lush light,
where illicit delights
are unlocked
where a love, immense,
can be made flesh
in deeds intense,
all cover-ups stripped
souls & bodies bared
the place where
spiritual fire ignites
carnal desires—
meet me there.
