I Told You
I told you....not to fuck with me
I told you...I didnt wanna play your game
I told you...not to tease me
Now look at you
Your ass will never be the same.
You said You liked me...and my "sassy style"
You said you needed me to come and stay awhile
You said you'd treat me....like a queen
But instead...you were pretty damn mean
that's why...
I told you...not to fuck with me
I told you.... you better be nice
I told you....dont tell me no lies
Now thats why you sittn there
Tryin to explain this shit to your wife! ...

Trust
Can you feel me....
running my fingers down the length
of your torso....yes just like that
hmmmm....can you feel the heat of my
tongue....
Now tell me...
do you trust me
Yes... I know you cant see through the blind fold
thats the idea baby....
Hmmmm... you ...taste ....sweet to me
Yes...Im glad you like the way it feels
when I flick the tip of your nipple
Like this.... and like this...
Oooh Baby...dont be afraid....
Id never hurt you...Im only here
To please you......
As I suckle the arch in your back
I wanna lay you down.......
running my fingers down the length
of your torso....yes just like that
hmmmm....can you feel the heat of my
tongue....
Now tell me...
do you trust me
Yes... I know you cant see through the blind fold
thats the idea baby....
Hmmmm... you ...taste ....sweet to me
Yes...Im glad you like the way it feels

Get Here
Get Here
because I can not take this constant clamour
of thoughts...and images that bombard my mind
when I think of you...
Get Here
So my hands.. and lips .... will have something
constructive to do...
Like touch you...and
kiss you
Get Here
So that my energy can finaly shine...
all over you...intimately...as I
cup your face into my hands...and draw you near me
Just breathing in the scent that is you
Get Here
and save me from my own anxiety
of going to sleep in the arms of my cold
comforter...and only the...

Need
Need...
Is defined by the mind based on how badly
we want....
what we think we need
as desire begins to feed on the sanity
and vanity of those that would fall pray to
Needs calling...
as defenses are falling
unable to break free...
from the Need
The Need to be heard
or felt or touched
the need to be absorbed dissovled
Or expanded...
Sometimes... I simply cant stand it
when Need comes to visit me
For when it does I simply cant breathe
and my thoughts are not my own
As I become one owned by a nagging
Inner dragging...

Sleight of hand....
I should have known...
by how nimble and swift your kisses were..
that you were not to be trusted...
Skilled in the art of
legerdemain...
I was tricked... by your sleight of hand.
You...a magnificent magician... of the heart
capable of taking it...and breaking it..while
Giving me the illusion that I am still in one piece
not knowing that my heart was broken and stolen
before the end of your last act...
before I finished the glass of wine we shared...
I was lulled into your will...
because I stared into the depth of your eyes too long...
by how nimble and swift your kisses were..
that you were not to be trusted...
Skilled in the art of
legerdemain...
I was tricked... by your sleight of hand.
You...a magnificent magician... of the heart
capable of taking it...and breaking it..while
Giving me the illusion that I am still in one piece
not knowing that my heart was broken and stolen

Air Guitar
When I walked into my corner store today
to get my customary usuals...
I was mentally stuck between a black mood
or a certain shade of grey...you know
that kind of grey that settles in with the fog
after a long night of rain kinda grey
While pondering my next item to purchase
A homeless man...the same man I always see
perched in the corner of the store,by the
freezie machine like some kind of crazed
Cockatoo ...was playing the air guitar
While Freebird was playing on the store speakers
Now, I must say I never would have...
to get my customary usuals...

Why..
Why...
Can't a woman....just simply tell a man
That she feels vulnerable...and is weak
sometimes...weak for his hands...to touch
her tender skin
Why...cant she just tell him that her body
aches to be kissed...all over from the inside out
As she melts from his tongue...
grazing her sacred places
Why...
Can't a man simply tell a woman that he
Needs...to be needed by her
that he needs to be able to sink deep into her flesh
to find solace there between the folds of her skin
Why can't a man tell a woman ....
That through her his...

Wonderful Surprise
I....had no idea
what brewed behind your smile
Or those...magnificent eyes
I felt sensual....danger
from you stranger....and
I find my attraction to you
Stranger still
As I ...try to stop my mind
from roaming all over the ripples
In your chest...
I have to catch my breath
and quiet this storm that is building
within me...
As we engage in quiet conversations....
Whispered over telephone lines
Under the cover of darkness
It is your voice that covers me
and makes me feel as if the sun
Is out...shining...at a balmy 98 degrees...
what brewed behind your smile
Or those...magnificent eyes
I felt sensual....danger
from you stranger....and
I find my attraction to you
Stranger still
As I ...try to stop my mind
from roaming all over the ripples
In your chest...
I have to catch my breath
and quiet this storm that is building
within me...
As we engage in quiet conversations....
Whispered over telephone lines
Under the cover of darkness
It is your voice that covers me
and makes me feel as if the sun

Mental Overexposure
All too soon the spaces
around my mental oasis
has become a cacoon
bedding me down
inside my thoughts...
against my will
forcing me to replay scenes
from my past
Like a photograph that stands still
Almost as if
Im walking backwards into my future
Memories with razor sharp tips
Laced with Novicane...Numb
me into submission
As my soul repeats another rendition
Of "Yesterday... all my troubles seemed
So far away...Now it seems as though there here
to stay... Oh I believe in yesterday"
But wait...yesterday wasnt...

Next Lifetime...
Maybe in the next lifetime...
I will recognize ....the voice of angels
in my ear...and stear clear
Of empending heartaches
That come in the form
of alluring smiles,kind words...
and Intelligent text messages...
Maybe in the next lifetime
I wont be so vulnerable...
Or emotional...perhaps I will have
learned by then..How to have a thicker
skin
So I cant let .... all of the wrong
Type of shit in...anymore....
Maybe in the next life time...
My "soulmate" will be the equivalent
Of 7 pieces of Godiva Chocolate...and
I...

When It Rains
When It Rains.....
All I want to do
is wrap up in my queen size bed
with soft music playing
As I imagine strong arms like yours
Holding me...
from behind...
Naked I close my eyes ...
and sigh,as my hands travel down
the thickness of my thighs
wishing that the man of my dreams
would materialize...
and ...come to me.
When It Rains...
I close my eyes...
as I pinch my nipples
imagining that it is "He"
With warm lips...and heated breath
Gently sucking... and bringing
heat to me...
When It Rains...
I...

Talk To me
Talk to me...
dont turn away from me
like a dying ember from the flames...
Cant You see that
my heart is spilling over
like an open book and all the words
that got lost in translation are
screaming at you...
my heart is bleeding...
for you.
Talk to me
because life is short
and the chances to Love
are even shorter...as I stand
Mid way through my Life...
fighting the streams of strife
All the while still fighting
for this tangible thing called happiness
and I want to share it..fleeting
as it is...
dont turn away from me
like a dying ember from the flames...
Cant You see that
my heart is spilling over
like an open book and all the words
that got lost in translation are
screaming at you...
my heart is bleeding...
for you.

are even shorter...as I stand
