Haven (re-post)
I do my crackfiend dance
get on my knees and beg
you got the thunder
you got the thunder
my storm within
a storm
my refuge
from the norm
my haven away from everything decent
in this world
you are chaotic
neurotic
and nasty as you wanna be
volatile like
skulls and crossbones
deeper than baritones
your love is like
like riding the rapids
like walking a tightrope with no
safety net
like russian roulette
and yet
submissive like
take me if you dare
if you dare
Haven was previously published in ‘A Goddess Discovered and Other Erotic Tales, and featured at the 2010 Seattle Erotic Art Festival
Really enjoyed this one. I just read it three times and was struck by the ending each time.
Xoxo,

Thank you so much Emerald, I’m glad you enjoyed reading it! That’s one of the best compliments a poet can get 🙂
I would love to hear this one performed!
Thanks E, I do enjoy reading on stage, but it’s been a while. I have a couple of home videos of me reading that I hope to post soon though…
