while being forcefed the...

Dear Ex-LoverDear Ex-Lover,
Receive my apology,
I am not sure what for.
But this letter will give you a brief.
I understand the taste of me,
it's like something out of the ordinary.
I understand it may even be harder to bury...

Divertere, in reverseDivorce is desolate, forbidding and bleak.
I shan’t be convinced
It offers the freedom of which you speak.
New beginnings are impossible.
It’s a lie to think
Divorce makes healing optimal.
The truth is…
It causes endless pain.
I refuse to believe...

Sir Michael DeVil
My soon to be ex
Is a jerk and a pill.
I cannot wait to try to break his will
For being
Deceiving
I’ll take his abode and make him fulfill
His alimony obligations, what a thrill!

Blank Space CraftThe dark spill muddied my canvas:
Made its mess, dislocated light
And thoughtful lines to the edges
While it claimed the center for spite.
It seemed like all was wrecked.
The time I'd worked nightly

Pleasures She WoreYour skin glows like a peach blossom,
Delicious is the smell of the Black Lotus Flower,
In the purest hope of spring's essences.
My yearning rises to her frequency,
Her feminine voice soothes the core of my...

Surviving co-dependenceI’m done with co-dependence or so I say
I’ve burnt so many effigies for others
I’m the giver in my codependency
The taker burns all my oxygen
She used to grant just a puff to breathe
Her flame used...

I have more to giveI tremble in these shadows, wrestling all forms of demons
'Cause, after you, I've learned how to soundly defeat them
For far too long, I've put up with the degradation of your behavior
After a life time, I...

Lovely enchantress of cyberspaceLovely enchantress of cyberspace
Betwixt and between us
lies an immense untraversable realm
of never knowable forbidding possibilities
quixotic, rhapsodic, sympathetic, telepathic...,
where tantalizing, scandalizing, and revolting,
nevertheless promising fantasies beckons
buzzfeeding, crowdsourcing, dovetailing,
earthshaking, foo fighting, hashtagging,
jump/kick starting, twittering

A tarnished soulHere's a story poem about a girl's tragic descent, imbued with dark imagery:
A Broken Doll's Lament
Tiny fingers, a gap in the wood, a scene etched in fright,
A scream ripped from silence, shattering the night.

Devour
You're a cannibal, baby,
consuming pieces of my heart,
chewing on my frailty,
and tearing me apart,
You're a scavenger, baby,
overhead with your eyes honed,
peeling layers of my flesh,
until I'm bare to...
