I’m Addicted To You

“I’m addicted to you.” She said softly into my ear with the promise of tomorrow in her eyes. The weight of her body made me feel lighter than air like the answer to every question can be found in a single glance. An intangible person to imagine a person with the kind of smile you only come across four to five times in your entire life. A smile that made you feel understood and welcomed every secon...

My Murderous Uncle Pays Me A Visit

“Wakey, Wakey Alex”


Alex bolted upright. His breathing hitched. He knew that voice.


Frederick stood across the bed, hands clasped behind his back.


Stabbing pain clawed into his side like knives carving through his skin, deep into his muscles -- Hot and sharp.


He gasped for air— cold, **intangible** — as he fell back.


The light stung his eyes.


“Now, now. We don’t want to burst open those...

I Love You

I Love You

So much power

Word


More then just a kiss

A hug


I Love You

Solidifying my yearning for you....

Gone

Lloyd sat and wept softly, afraid to show his grief lest he become an object of ridicule. His peers mingled around him as he sat in his solitary corner with only his thoughts, unconscious of the people gathered to mourn.

She had been his world. His light. His life. Time seemed to have stopped to allow him to feel the pain of losing her again and again. The only way to break the cycle was un...

Internal Conflict

Delicate hands weave through my hair,

the feeling of freedom fading into despair.


Fingertips brush my skin softly,

egniting a flame that burns ever so brightly.


I push them away, my heart intangible,

a mess that remains full of trouble.


Their breath stays softly,

drawing out breaths of air, skulled ghostly.


Aravicious demands hidden beneath,

and I mourn my own grief.


Hugging my knees, I clos...

Bunny

She’s the one that holds me together

Softly nestled againt my heart

Always

The way she lifts here non existent eyebrows

Intangibly, as if to say

“Is that right?”

A protector

Beacon of Humility in a sea of avaricious atrocity

A bean

A bell

A lightbulb

She’s all I really need...

The Curse Of Intangibility 

They were staring at her, but that was OK, she was staring back, gaze avaricious. because they were hers - had always been hers -. and she would have them back.


Needed them back.


She was going in.


Reaching out, intending to softly brush the top of them with a careful finger, her hand…


Past straight through the stack of credit cards.


Goddamnit!


Being intangible sucked.

Foolish Friend

So bloody avaricious

Softly boasting of wealth

Not realizing your desires are intangible...

Wish Upon A Star

Softly the wind blows against my cheek

Intangible kisses laid over my temple

Caressing my skin the way you would

As the regrets cascade over my being

I wonder if my avaricious tendencies

Could they have been quelled

With your touch, your presence

Or is this loss a blessing

To never truly know the truth...
