Sweet lover’s face Forget his seduction harms Drinking in this poisonous grace Letting dark caresses fill this space Suave night has charms Sweet lover’s face Enter in my breathing place Tame these natural alarms Drinking in this poisonous grace Letting pleasure erase Holding close with sultry arms Sweet lover’s face Speeding pulse in headlong race Forget his seduction harms Drinking in this poisonous grace Fingers interlock and bodies interlace Tame these natural alarms Drinking in this poisonous graceThis poem is loosely based on the Villanelle Poetry Style. I took some liberties with adapting it, but for the most part, I followed the rules.

~~me and orion ~~ written by Toni L.A. Cross
harsh icy wind
freezing tear tracks
on my cheeksthe night is so clear
the stars are so bright
I’m dwarfed by the darknesssurrounded with pinpricks
my eyes are searching frantically
for something I knowthen there shines orion
the hunter, the fighter
my comrade in armsi look up, reminded
that i’m not alone
a survivor, a scrappera victor someday
i stand stout inside once more
and think of the Onewho hung the great galaxies
and never forgets
even tiny me
terror, written by Toni L.A. Cross 1/27/10
black abyss of misery
falling into darkness
endless pits of infamy
lost in infinite deadness
silent screams of agony
never heard in deafening quiet
heartless bellows of cacophony
sound fighting against itself
