Spacemen
Each in our own
Hermetically sealed bubble
We move
We roam

Constantly in contact
Permanently alone

The Hurdles of Online Dating

If I lower my standards any further, I'll trip over them

Ice Factor

Arctic chill lashes out
Rips through clothing
Makes her cough
She struggles onward
Fingers outstretched...
...turns the air conditioning off

King of the Castle

Shut out from what it is that you’re thinking
You're barricaded behind stone walls and set mind
I don’t know if it’s worth forcing my way in
To discover there’s nothing to find

Phlebotomy - a love song

Purple roses bloom
Each time your thorns stab and prick my arm
and still no crimson
to fill your vial

In making me well you cause me more harm
