one day they will consume me. all my flesh, one bite at a time. down through cartilage and blood and bone. they will find you. tucked away in my heart. safe, warm, and protected. they won’t understand. not a single one of them. they will say i devoured your soul. that i stole your life. that i took your voice. they will not know that i speak for both of us. that your voice is my voice. that your words are my words. that i am typing them even now, through fingers, muscle, and memory. these words are yours. not mine. they will not believeRead More →

forgive me, my love. i’ve been gone for far too long. contrary to what you may believe, it was your soft skin, warm eyes, and open arms that cast me away. oh, you did not know this. you did not know that your loyal love forced my hibernation. you see, it was your blood. your blood that is my blood. it called to me in the most desperate of terms. it demanded i consume you, own you, claim you, and devour you. oh, my darling, the blood flowing through your beautiful veins damned me before i understood the truth of the situation. i could notRead More →

you sense me before i strike, fangs out, ready to sink into your peach-flavored skin, your silky ribbon blood, the thickening pulse of your heart, your loins, your desire to know life and death and what lies beyond it all. you grasp behind you, desperate for purchase, to yell out, to demand help, saving; but also to demand more, deeper, wanting me to learn all of your essence, your childhood dreams and disappointments, the way the church held sway over your mind and soul, how the devil on your shoulder laughed in your ear, promising treats and rewards. oh that you turned your back onRead More →

oh darling, my sweet, sweet darling. i long to keep you. forever. your limbs will enrich my soil, and will grow deep and wide, roots spread. your arms will provide shade and shadows, with inky green sprouts bursting from your branches, thick and lush. oh, Spring will be so succulent when your breasts and sex burst into flowers, tumbling down, a cascade of red and pink and lavender. i can see it already. can you feel my excitement? the tremble in my voice? how the shovel shakes in my hand? your knees and elbows will form into gnarly knots, twisted and thick, darkly-brown and noble-looking.Read More →

dance with me. just for a little while. how difficult that will be, darling, for you removed my legs in your mind then it is on a ghost ship lost at sea, exploring the dark edges sing it away. sing back to me you gave my voice to an opera singer how about a kiss a child stole it and a cat stole it from her. my lips are tucked inside a bird nest you deny me your love darling, i have given all to you not your heart how do you think you were formed? you were the red bird residing in the chambersRead More →

blurring, your words and my thoughts. i want you more than ever. no, i need you more than yesterday but will i feel the same tomorrow? what happens when the words are red and the pages go red? the words blend. fade. the meaning twists and bends and turns into something else. something horrible? something nice? there is no middle ground with me, and you know that. you’ve always known that. you frown and chirp. i smile because i can be mean and you like it and i hate that you like it. why can’t we be normal? why can’t i be normal? i’m red,Read More →

this is agony, my love. your eyes profess clarity, but your hands betray you. you shake, the knife bounces. tick marks bubble red on my skin. moments of relief mixed with moments of pain. but which causes the pain and which causes the relief? the blade opens. it reveals. it scars. it holds promise. that’s what i want. what i need. the promise of a tomorrow. the promise that this is the end. it’s all so fucked up, isn’t it, my love, that i am unable to direct you properly. your hands shake because you love me so much. it hurts you to hurt me.Read More →

you peel me raw, opening my wounds until my blood drains. and you smile. so i let you continue. the pain. the torture. the lush agony of an erotic release. i endure it because it is what i, too, want. crave. insatiable hunger mixed with vulnerability. it’s all yours. it’s always been. the skin, gone, spread, revealing white ribs. curved handsomely inward, like a cage. how beautiful i must appear to you in this moment. but, in this dark room with the one bright light overhead, and as i lie on this cold table, i know what must happen next. the others, just beyond ourRead More →
