he may hear you
and use it against you
sshhh
listen and learn
knowledge is your only weapon
sshhh
watch and observe
learn his patterns and habits
sshhh
pack up your things
and quietly tiptoe away
hopefully

your weight upon me
is soothing
your breath
warm against my neck
your steady rhythmic movement
caressing me
your moans
melodic in my ears
your spasm
my orgasm

the sky is gray
whilst you walk away
disappearing into the fray
with my feelings you play
moulding them like clay
on any other day
it would be okay
but please not while we’re gay

a chill tingles upward
possessing my bones
lonely aching
missing bright sunny days
spent with you
gently laughing
warm squidgy sand tickling
a fading memory
echoing hollow
gone

it looms
dangling tempting
tantalizingly vivid
beyond reach
happiness…

a crisp breeze
stirred dead leaves
whistling through empty streets
cleansing cold concrete paths
where once you walked
hand in hand
with me
no more
Pastel on Handmade Paper
the road is long
treacherous
the horizon bleak
unwavering
the closer I get
crawling
the more distant
indifferent
and eventually I vanish
forgotten

the hands of time
tick ever slowly
reverberating in my head
…tick tock…
dragging long shadows
grey tendrils clawing
mauling a barren landscape
that was once my mind
© Dawn Whitehand 2014
it screeches constantly
my head aches
hello….hello…
no body answers
desolation encroaches
my mind exploding
shattering into millions
pointy little pieces
floating aimless forever

wild wind whistled
while wispy wishes
whispered woeful wails
halting heinous hailing
hurriedly hurting horribly
however hauling happiness
and another arrow
announced agony again
arguing angry angst
thinking theories thoroughly
thoughts thrashed thickly
throwing thunder through
