I chose a black parchment and left my poem in light gray letters. The words were underwhelming, but the darkness overtook you. Years later I re-read cautiously in low light; you’re somewhere on these pages.   tis nothing if not heardEmailTwitterFacebook0PrintGoogle

Over Time, We Do This To Each Other

Posted on January 14, 2016 by skipavm@gmail.com

My love is a besotted moth flying deliriously in a labyrinth of mirrored passages; my Beloved is the glowing lantern hidden within its center. I am a vessel of senses and impulse; Whenever I run with my love to Her flame, I find … Continue reading →

Lovers Devoured Page by Page

Posted on December 28, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

Your ebullience becomes the gilded leaf to my aging pages, a lingering touch along precious edges. Each golden blade shows your mettle, turned slowly into the flesh of a heart. Every sliver, the mete for eyes and ears, for the … Continue reading →
