we are now and ever will be apart
ceaseless
i must endure
the maddening rhythm
the poorly timed beats
of this atrophied heart

Only You Will Do
“I have little left in myself — I must have you. The world may laugh — may call me absurd, selfish — but it does not signify. My very soul demands you: it will be satisfied, or it will take deadly vengeance on its frame.”
-Charlotte Bronte

Taste of a Woman
She is the taste that leaves me withered
and sore
but still
My lips tremble in anticipation of her
I crave endlessly
her porcelain shoulders
slim and flushed
against satin sheets and velvet pillows
devour me
til dawn
til death
let me
inhale
all that you are
“Hunger” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse

I Emerge Divine
crystal showers
heal my mouth
wash away the taste of fruit
give me dreams of
strange desire
fresh
and new
like lily buds

Of Lust and War
In the orchids
lies a warrior
gleaming like a ruby torch
come to me
in violent whispers
I will satisfy your thirst

The Dragon
breaths of flame
that hunt and sting
wound the wicked
and the pure
for her body,
sheathed in glamor,
lusts for choirs
of agony
pierced and beaten
by the brave
who broke her slumber with their swords
now hate
and scorn
are in the blood
that feeds her heart
and burns for more
The Body
onyx fingers curl
and stretch
through stone and steal
through blood and death
heaven glows in all of her
the sky below
the sea above
coming slowly
like the daylight
orange, red, and yellow flow
all is brilliant
like the morning
worn but strong in clouds of silk
“The Body” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
Goodnight
beauty lazing
on a Sunday
soaking in the Summer’s flame.
golden peaches
drinking morning
from a fountain in the sky
Now,
All the embers
of the daylight
smolder in my empty bed
til the starlight
whispers softly
sleep away the world tonight
