and from the rupture that was breaking our hearts we came forth clean again, naked, loving each other without dream, without sand, complete and radiant, sealed by fire. -Pablo Neruda, The Dream

luxuriating in you,
your quiescent bliss

open mouth salivating
purring with each drunken kiss

feeding on your holy flesh,
licking heart wounds clean

bathing in baptismal blood
ascending into a dream

wilting reveries
love lies bleeding on the vine
heartache harrowing
soulbound silver cords combined
star-crossed lovers knot entwined

the way a summer garden

November : 🍂

Watching leaves falling,
Lost love’s embers, … remembered-
First one, … another ~

drifting, bathed in tears
ghostly presence harrowing
dreamtime life endeared
lustful tongue salted burning
waking lonely, aged by years

If you'd like to read it, I wrote a short story yesterday. It only takes about 4 minutes to read (or less). [No need to leave Bluesky to read it.]

Through Halloween night I'm going to post a series of spooky haiku inspired by Eldritch horror.

I turn off the light-
the darkness
is already waiting

A sweet place to be
Is the church deep within you
Where all is serene.

If love’s an abyss
take my hand and let us fall
deeper and deeper

Just saw a vanity license plate that read “STI GUY,” and my dude, I don’t think that’s something you should be bragging about.
