Soul Food
Look at her
Pale face
Layered with unrealistic make-up
Her hair, finally, tame
Covered in black
Where the genetic greys once lived
She’s in a pretty skirt
A matching top
One of few times
She actually matched
Daisies in her hand
Her absolute favorite
White and silky
She’s so still
She doesn’t move
They say it was a heart attack
Broken heart, heart attack
The food that fed her heart
Just stopped
Her heart
Stopped
Not slowly
One precious beat at a time
Just
Stopped
...

Invasion
I miss you
Whoever you are
Invading my dreams
Without any care
You come and
You go
No concern for my heart
Or how those butterflies
Feel in my stomach
I sit and wait
Between these daily activities
Just to get a glimpse of you
Whoever you are
Enticing
Intriguing are you
Bits and pieces
Are all I really know
With each dream
You give me a taste
But just a taste
And nothing more
It’s okay
I understand
There’s no need explain
You can’t be in my dreams
Every moment of the night
You need your...

Blood Red Rose
She tastes so sweet
A bit bitter too
But that’s what I love about her
She’s so pretty
Especially in red
Dark, blood rose red
She makes me smile
With each taste I take
And with each taste
I desire a sip more
Oh how completely
She makes me burn
And
My head spin around
Especially as her fragrance
Hits my nose
Sending that invigorating beauty
To my core
I can’t help but
Take another drink
Let that slippery
Sweetness run down my throat
Deep inside my stomach
Coating it completely
I gotta have more...

Come Here
Sitting here
I begin to burn
Longing for a supple finger
To delve inside
Slightly moving
Saying
“Come here.”
While your lips
They tingle
Touch and suck
On my sensitive neck
Or a flick, a swirl
On my left breast
The most sensitive one
I’m sure it won’t be long
Until
I come there
I begin to burn
Longing for a supple finger
To delve inside
Slightly moving
Saying
“Come here.”
While your lips
They tingle
Touch and suck
On my sensitive neck
Or a flick, a swirl
On my left breast
The most sensitive one
I’m sure it won’t be long
Until
I come there

Grace
You have a heart of gold and silver
Ruby, emerald and diamond too
Your eyes shine so bright
Every time you’re excited
Amazing is your understanding
Even when you don’t really
Accepting anyway
Because that’s just who you are
Jesus is in your heart
I can see Him in your soul
All the way to your core
You embrace Him
Believe and have faith in Him
No questions asked
Never lacking in His judgment
I love your little notes and although
You can only write, “I love you mom <3 Grace.”
It’s so sweet
It brightens my life...

The Road Home
Her poetry, yes that’s what it is
Whether she know it or not
Slowly getting to know her
Maybe it is a bit of a crush
But it’s more than that
Before I started to come to know her
It’s her words
The ones she writes
Reminding me of home
Love and life
Dreams I’d once had
Wishes I’d wished once upon a time
Setting into motion
The strength I’d forgotten
The who, I used to be
This is what her words do to me
They bring about
Memories I’d forgotten
Long to make some more
Have a bit of fun
And enjoy life once...

Fiery Soul
Though I am still
Somewhere inside
My soul is on fire
She’s spinning around
Around and around
Banging her head on the wall
Screaming at me
For a hit or two
Blood spilling
Pouring from her
From the razor blades
That punctures her with each spin
Pain and pleasure, a needed release in her head
Desire and need
For that little white powder
Or the spoonful
Of brown liquid
Maybe that pill that gives what it’s named for
Something
Anything
To quench that thirst
Release...

Slow Steps
I’m tired
I’m worn
Something’s gotta give
No matter what’s to come
No matter which road
There’ll be a period of heartbreak
I know I’ll get through it
I don’t have a choice
‘cause the only way to bypass
Would be to take my own life
I can’t do that
Not to my Babes
Or my Daddy of course
Not that I’d want to
I’d miss out on those Babes
And the good times that follow heartbreaks
But, could I get through it
Could we get through it
Or would our feet run us in different directions
I know I really care
I love you is...

This or That
I want know you
Who you are
Where you come from
What you like
Chocolate or vanilla, or is strawberry more your style?
What’s your favorite song? The one that reaches you to your core
Makes you shiver, laugh and cry?
What makes you laugh?
What makes you cry?
What about your hair
Up or down, long or short
Black, white, green or purple
Do you paint your face or is natural what you prefer?
What food comforts you when your soul is down?
What song sings to your heart?
Tell me a secret desire
Something romantic you...

Little Things
The flowers were nice
But they’re getting old
I wanted coffee instead
But you wouldn’t listen
To what I’d plainly said
Thank you for dinner
It was quite nice
But don’t tell me you’ll make it for me
Then ask me to help
Especially without
Telling me what you want me to do
Then cooking the steak ‘till it was done
I wanted the blood and you know that too
I appreciate the wine
It was a nice added touch
But where was my wine glass
Instead of a cup
And I said a little not a whole lot
Don’t lie to me too
I know...

Suffocating
Heaven’s rains pour down
God, that’s such a cliché
Is it raining because I’m crying
Or am I crying because it’s raining?
All I can do is shake my head
Fanatically, begging you not to touch me
Not this time
Please leave me alone
But I know you won’t
You never do
I can only flinch
As your dirty hands touch my skin
Frozen with fear
I know what comes next
I can’t move, can’t speak
Fighting is what you want
It only takes longer as you take what you desire
How did I get in this position?
I know how to fight,...

I Am Alone Today
Cool breeze flowing through the house
Finally a day without the rain
A glimpse of days to come
But here it only lasts a week or two
I wanna be on a lake
My favorite man in my hands
Mr. Daniels, you’re my only love
Always there for me
Never questioning
I wanna float in that perfect water
Hike a bit
Jump off a cliff
Stick my toes in the sand
But there’s chores to do
Finally alone
He has them for once
Dishes to do, laundry to fold
Floor to mop
Bedrooms to clean
Take my chance while I have it...
