He sighs love
He sighs
So I'll ask him.
Always the same answer:
"What you don't want me to say".
Seems to me that's the same as saying it.
He loves me
Is what that sigh means.
He knows it frightens me.
That I am fighting the urge to run.
Neither of us know how long he'll be able to hold on.
He introduced me once as "his life".
I wouldn't even let him call me girlfriend.
It made my breath stop for a moment, and my legs tense to flee.
Still I smiled
while holding him at arms length.
I think he'd...

The Quickest Way to See Me Run
He tried to set the mood
music playing,
lights dimmed.
He'd thought this through
and I was terrified!
Taking my hand,
stroking my face,
I trembled.
I didn't want this...
wasn't ready
for it to be over.
I tried to distract him.
Changing the subject,
commenting on the songs.
I was obnoxious
and knew it.
I was making him work too hard
when it should come easy.
An exciting moment couples rush into.
He was trying,
and I...

Empty Pages
I woke up this morning,
and not a trace was left.
I cried.
Connection is such a gift,
filling days with endless smiles.
The severing leaves me bleeding.
Thoughts plucked like wilted flowers
I forgot to press between my pages.
I may come to believe it was all imagined.
To open your heart
is always a risk.
Disappointment always looming.
You left me without words,
without air.
Hope all that remains,
waiting for your return.
and not a trace was left.
I cried.
Connection is such a gift,

Ardent Romance
Our passions burn hot enough to singe.
I long for the flames to lick my skin.
For your heat to send sparks through me.
Your warmth draws me in,
a glowing ember ever present in my heart.
Thoughts of the fire consume me.
Visions of the blaze dancing before my eyes.
A tender fusion of bodies and souls.
Creation's kiss igniting the deepest of desires,
Leaving us afterwards scorched and satisfied
and thirsty for the flames.
I long for the flames to lick my skin.
For your heat to send sparks through me.
Your warmth draws me in,
a glowing ember ever present in my heart.

Leaving us afterwards scorched and satisfied

the Numb that you Need
It is
the off switch
to these thoughts
that never stop
but turn over and over
until they're unrecognizable
like the word you repeat
that no longer holds a meaning
but you know it meant something once
It is
the numb that you need
to rush through you
when feeling is much too
OVERWHELMING
and you don't have the strength
to face it down
So you press pause
and drown in euphoria
You concentrate on
the acceptance
of nothing
being judged
and everyone being...

Love Bound
I left you speechless
over stories
of sinful fantasy,
where I fulfill
your every desire.
You know me
heart and soul,
but you have not felt
all the joys I hold.
Allow me
a personal poetry reading
from my tongue
to your skin.
I will lick away
every doubt left between us.
Paint me in beautiful colors
from the aura
of your fingertips.
No word is left unspoken
through the language
of our bodies
and the expression
of hearts on lips
as we kiss.
Bound in a union
of fluid and movement
we...

My Story
for the Sadness competition
standing
naked
transparent
and still no one sees
past the curves
to the heart
to stand
so vulnerable
yet the vessel
not the soul
receives the embrace
lonely
sad
broken
waiting
to be seen
longing to be
touched
standing
naked
transparent
and still no one sees
past the curves

Mad Wonderland
for the Alice in Wonderland competition
I fell through the hole of your intentions
where everything was upside down
and I was never quite the right size,
yet you insisted on keeping me
bottled up and locked away.
Cheshire smiling at my misfortune,
entertained to ease his pain
and try to cause me guilt
for not paying enough attention.
His whispers point me in the wrong direction
and cause me to doubt
all that led me here to begin with.
He was of course...

Timing
The greatest compliment
I can remember being given
was from a guy who came in where I worked.
A regular.
Taj.
Always ordered the same thing;
harborside lobster and shrimp,
top shelf long island.
He had good taste.
Left good tips.
He told me
he wished
we'd been together in the past,
parted on good terms,
and were now close friends
so that he would have
at least the memory
of being with me ...

Hypothetical Lovers
I float on the high
of inhaling your words
The effect is lingering
Craving
Every
Moment
You are mine
My skin tingles
just thinking
of your touch
Charged
Explosive
Waiting
To ignite
Matured since our memories
passions reaching depths
needs are greater
Imagine

Chasing Stars
Adorned
in glittering
diamonds
I feel him
trace
the stars
across my
porcelain skin
connecting
the dots
to every
sensitive
sound inducing
area
He whispers
sweet words
of twilight
in my ear
causing
heavens
to open
and
lustful desires
to persuade
my thighs
to part
He fits
perfectly
stars
fill my eyes
as he
penetrates
his gaze
returned
is amorous
intense pleasure ...

Dream within a Dream
Created in a dream,
he steps through the haze
standing before me
a fantasy.
I close my my eyes
so I might imagine his touch.
Surprised to feel him
solid against me,
no illusion.
I look up only to fall into his gaze
deep and meaningful.
His smile radiating warmth.
He takes me into his strong
capable arms,
and a feeling comes over me
that I am safe.
Cared for.
I give in to trusting him, ...
