Demons Of The Night
My demons were busy last night
They decided I needed
To stay awake
My legs were restless
Thanks to their
Mini cramps in my left leg
My lower back
Kept letting me know
The pain pill was wearing off
My abdominal hernia
Decided to be grumbly
Demons are nasty
Poking and prodding
Giving no relief
Until they have had their fun
Only just before dawn
Will they let you fall asleep

Safe Haven
the spattering and splashing of the waves from the ocean striking and surging, every movement
is like the rushing and rustling mess in my head, comes back bigger and greater with every
descent
and as I lay my head unto your chest
I listened carefully to the silent beating of your heart
I am in a placid state, undisturbed, unruffled, wave less
you wrap your zealous arms around me
in a tender whisper you say “rest now, my love, keep still”
there, in your loving arms, I found my sweetest and safest haven
p.s.
how do we heal amidst all the chaos and turmoil in our lives right now? how do we mend our broken hearts, our broken dreams and promises? we find healing in the comfort of our loved ones, in the arms of those who understand, those who care: they are our source of…

I’ve finally got you alone.
I’ve been waiting all day for this moment
And I promise to make the most of it.
I won’t overlook a single part of you.
My pulse quickens in anticipate of what I’m about to do to you.
My fingers are itching to start,
My lips are twitching to taste you.
Oh God, I need you so badly tonight.
I slowly drink you in,
Devouring you with my hungry eyes.
I’ve never seen a sight so alluring,
I can’t look away, you hold me captive.
Damn your sinful sensuality!
You really aremy naughty little secret.
What makes it all the more enticing
Is knowing that being with you like this is forbidden.
I love that you make me feel this way,
It’s why I keep coming back for more.
I can’t hold out any longer, I must have you now.
I pull…

In the wee small hours
Of the backside of the nite
In my dreams
U hold me tight
When u come
To dance with me
Young lovers laughing
Giggling and smiling
Dressed in gowns
And fancy suits
Gazing into
Each others eyes
Out on the dancefloor
In a waltz, a tango
The bop or the twist
Knowing each others moves
From a long time ago
Love, ur the only one that I’ve missed
My favorite dreams
R always with U
Reliving memories
And moments too
Waking in the morning
Is bittersweet
Remembering the thrill
But ending my dream
Of U
Mornings leave me longing
For another dance or 2
Cuz dreaming is the only way
I can still be with U
And so each nite
Beneath the stars
I wait for the dream
That we can love and
Dance again

I’m excited to share my list of publications/events/interviews for the month of August 2020. This month I also celebrated Third year of my poetry website.
Every month I compile the list and share it with my readers as it can serve as a valuable list of places to submit poetry for emerging writers.
Following is my list of print publications/news/events for the month of August 2020.

when I’ve forgotten
will you promise
to carry all I love
into another day –
another life
when I’ve let the image go
of the oak
outside my door –
the smell of wood smoke
drifting through the pines
will you carry
will you tarry –
a moment more for me
when I’ve forsaken
every proof
of time
will you reminisce
as I have now –
on places I was loved
on dreams
I hope you dream
enough to find
a place apart
from everything –
a light where there are none
solace in these
memories
of mine
