"Me" Time
I felt winded...as I thought about it.
breathless infact as I made my way...
to my shower...to begin my daily
cleansing ritual...
Alone..I stand in my mirror
with arms over my head....
Letting my heavy breast escape
there prison of clothing
as I let my sun dress fall to the ground.
I have the shower running so steam,like
a billow of soothing smoke surrounds me
as I take my auroma therapy bath salts
on a tray into my shower...

Your Lips
I remember hearing the sound coming out
of your mouth...but Icant say
I remember the words.
I couldnt concentrate...
because your lips were too perfect
and finely formed for me to know
anything other than the fact that
I wanted to kiss you...
As you laughed about something
that happend on T.V.
all I wanted to do was was cut
you off mid sentence and kiss you.
I imagined what your lips taste like
They look like they'd be coconut flavored
or carmel vanilla.....
I imagined that I took my tongue
and traced the outline of your lips ...
of your mouth...but Icant say
I remember the words.

Equillibrium
That
iridescent core of me
that nestles inside the void
of me
and gives voice to my journey
Is where I've found
My Soul.
Complete and whole
Not broken and alone
Surrounded by the 9 ether
from my anscestors As
Their Love translates
all that was broken...
Into a New Song....that
I can not only sing...but
Bellow from my diaphragm
Because I still...have...a voice
Here..amidst what at first glance
seems to be a place of discarded
emotion yet with careful eyes
The fertile ground of experience
Is what sits...
iridescent core of me

Hold Me
Hold me
Because I feel as though
Im
Falling
apart...
at the seams
I can feel it in my dreams
at night
cause lately I've been awakened..
and I'm just not feeling right
inside
something's
Just not right...
and I
twist and turn
till my stomache and eyes burn
What it is I dont know
But my soul yearns....
My soul yearns.... so
Hold Me...
cause I dont know where Im going
I feel the winds of destiny blowing
and I...dont know
If I want to go
So Hold Me... ...
Because I feel as though
Im
Falling
apart...

Maggot Brain
With these eyes..
I have seen creation and chaos
Fold and unfold upon itself
In the guise of flesh and bone
Souls that the universe
So lovingly call the Engineers of Oblivion
moving toward Pandora's Box at the speed
Of sound...or is it the beating of my heart.
As I fast forward my reality I create a
Wrinkle in time and space...
A simple place where I can step in
and out of my own exsistance
To nullify sound ...and strenghten
My resistance against lethargy
and apathy ...these foes often
try and trap me in there web of...

Filling The Void
Peeled...
like the sweet flesh
of an orange...
letting the pulpous sticky
nectar of my goodness
cascade around you
Like a sensual blessing
embracing you within each delicate fold
of my ambrosia...
Hoping you loose yourself in me
and I...hoping to find myself in you
With each embrace...
and taste
of flesh..and skin
ancient secrets are revealed
until I know what language
your soul was written in
As the life force of your
phallus impales me to the source
of you...connecting are spirits
within...

Echoes
Too many times...
I have felt the soul of me
slipping into that invisible
place between bewilderment and angst
that place that has no tolerance
for my pain or tears
My unsufferable zone...
That crackles like dry leaves along
a long forgotten road
a place that echoes my lonliness
like a seashell forgotten by a child
It is here...in this place that
My thoughts run though my mind
like sand through my fingers
As I struggle to grasp but one grain
of my sanity...as it constantly
escapes me
It is here in this place
that I...

2 oclock in the afternoon
From across the street,you could almost see
the lace of her cami as she washed the dishes
as if in answer to her wishes....
He comes up behind her kissing her neck
as her jaw begins to flex in antisapation
of whats next....
I wonder ... as Im watching what it must be like for them
to love so freely and completely
in the heat of the open oven and kitchen with there
window steaming up by the minute....and she
tells him "your gonna make me burn the brisket"
As he smiles..because he knows that she likes it
when he's...

If I Didnt Love You....
If I Didnt Love You.....
How could I know that
your left eye is a deeper grey
than your right with flecks
of gold around the edges..
If I didnt love you
How could I know what your breath
smells like in the morning..
and STILL kiss you
If I didnt love you
Dont you think I would've
stopped washing your clothes
after I found those 2 phone numbers
in your pockets...
If I didnt love you
I would've left you
when you told me that she was pregnant
AND I
would'nt have stuck around as Long as I did...

From across the room
From across the room....
I saw you coy and demure
trying your best to camaflouge
the bronze of your skin to the wall behind you.
However...unbeknownst to you
there was simply nothing you could do
about the beauty that was emanating
from the depths of you...
As so many others buzzed around you
the flower... succulent and sweet
It was at that moment that I desired
You...
more than anyone I had ever known.
Or would ever know... A feeling so over powering
It made my panties wet just to look at you.
I watched you ....so intently

Incognito Superhero
I wanna be an
Incognito Superhero
walkin around under the cover
Of darkness
with clarity and insight
using my mental sharpness
I wanna be an evil-energy illiminator
A Darkside Infiltrator
An astral Plane Navigator
and a Peace-makin fascilitator
I wanna use my X-ray vision to look
into all souls
then use Loves Light to bring warmth
to the souls that are cold
I wanna be outwardly meek,but
Inwardly Bold
As I zapp the backs of the jills and jacks
who would other wise fold
I wanna use the vibration of my voice
to stop...
