Love Does Not Need To Exist Alongside Hurt
Love Does Not Need To Exist Alongside Hurt
By Jean Roy
Right now we can barely survive
with broken hearts filled with hope of the naive
let us make an attempt to keep this love alive
before it gets harder for you and I to breathe.
Let us form a freedom
that cannot bind us to the past
because we have lost all sense of reason
for making this love last.
I’ll do anything to prove
that this could work.
Let the burden of my heart be proof,
that love does not have to exist alongside hurt.

My Summer
My Summer
By Jean Roy
My summer will consist
of poets unknown,
lips that need to be kissed
and ink stained pages I call my home.

Step Father’s Forbidden Fruit
Step Father’s Forbidden Fruit
By Jean Roy
I’m still not ready
to face the truth, that you could
rape my sister too.
Little girls are your forbidden fruit.
How can you sleep at night knowing she ended her life because of you?

Heart Strings
Heart Strings
By Jean Roy
My organ of love
is a dark room with heart strings
slightly out of tune.
Without any love left,
The melody of compassion has gone deaf.

Naïve Teens
Naïve Teens
By Jean Roy
We were just a couple of naive teens
who believed that this love could
outlast summer vacation.
We haven’t even made it past July,
As comforting hellos become sad sounding goodbyes.

Moving On
Moving On
By Jean Roy
Moving on is a difficult task
though broken hearts learn to adapt
and pretend that it has never been betrayed
by a love who once promised but failed to stay.

Star Of Serenity
Star Of Serenity
By Jean Roy
Allow my tongue to electrify your body
creating wavelengths of desire.
Let your mind be quenched by lust’s sweet nectar
as your body becomes one of my untold wishes.
Lay back and allow my fingertips to glide pleasure
into your bright star of serenity.

Fiery Vixen
Fiery Vixen
By Jean Roy
The dampened lips of a fiery vixen
arouse my carnal appetite
for devotional licks
accompanying her hellish moans of pleasure
as my mouth returns
to where it belongs…
between the pillow soft thighs
of her greedy dripping flower.

Farewell
Farewell
By Jean Roy
I said farewell to the future
as I downed forty seven of those pills
hoping that I’d never have to wake up again
and live with the guilt
that both my sisters had been raped and killed.

As my step father
angrily exclaimed that all gays should be hung,
I looked in my pants and smiled.

Sixteen
Sixteen
By Jean Roy
I blew out my sixteen candles
the same night I snuck down
the rickety fire escape
with the high school bad ass
and fucked at Crescent Point
under a starless sky
losing my innocence
in his orange 98’ Nissan
with only his dirty leather varsity jacket
covering what was left of my soul
from the purity that he rushfully had taken
without even a kiss on my lips
for security.

The End
The End
By Jean Roy
A part of me hoped
he’d say that this love was worth
keeping. I was wrong.
It takes two people to join together
and only one to end it forever.

Rejected Advice
Rejected Advice
By Jean Roy
I’m surrounded by flurries of advice
that my heart won’t take.
I know my foolish organ of love will pay the price
and is headed for a cureless heartache.
But my mind believes that he’ll stop doing drugs
and again be the beautiful person that he once was.
