Tight Jeans
A nice pair of skin tight jeans
is like the grazing flare
of having nipple rings
Once material hits bare skin
Then ... cups my ass
Till I feel that pull and sting
That makes me wanna gasp
My Chino's ...or even a thrift store
Brand fits my body like a glove..
As I wear'em like only I can
Some are ripped at the knee
or In the back pocket..
NO matter the case....
Im gone definitly rock em
I love the way my body feels
when Im walkin down the street
With Tight Jeans on my ass
and Pumps on my feet
As the Men yell
"Hey...

The Real
Im ripping away at this
put upon face in the mirror
I need to get down to the real inside me
Through my eyes I can see a burning
inferno...
Melting away all my apathy....
Im Tearin
These
Walls
Down
and Im
Burning these lies
To
The
Ground
and whats left...
will be the truest part of me
Yes I welcome the fire...
I welcome the fire...
Cause most folk dont really
know me
only the faces Ive been
showing
now my inner soul
is glowing
as my outer shell melts
and starts
smoking...

Mother Dearest
It is said, that when the student is ready
the teacher does appear...
And so you did in the winter of my 6th year
when the judge smacked the gavel at half past 2
so began my journey ..into learning
how to survive
you.
With your sick demented tricks
you were so quick to make my skin
thick
Brazing my skin with leather belts
wooden boards and all types of shit
trying to make me believe that I deserved
to be whipped because YOU drank too much
and couldnt handle it
You were just a thief ...or a bandit
escaping off...

I miss you
A whisper of a shadow against my bedroom wall
Then I wake to find
no one there at all...
damn baby... I miss you
as I ache my way through
another sleepless night
without your seductive scent
drawing me in...to your chest
I ache ...as my passion crests
and leaves me wrecked upon
the shores of abandoned desire
and I have found nothing to
quench this raging fire
that threatens to consume me
Entirely...
till I am nothing more
than a pile of ashe...
I am layed bare before
my own thoughts....
I told myself I'd be fine...

Caramel poundcake ....sweet ...

Running into you
I was too busy
cleaning up the coffee I spilled
on myself to notice you ...and her
walking by me..
As Im fussing blindly
You walked right up behind me
and I had no words..
See... I wasnt ready to see you
I mean you used to be my everything
Baby... I used to breathe you
Now... I cant believe you
as you smile and say "Hello"
while SHE is standing sweetly
with this rosey lil glow
and I cant help but to notice
This chick...is starting to show
Now Im sick inside I wanna run
but there's no where to hide

"Ok,Cut!who wrote THIS scene?"

in the mouth I woulda been
the one committin the sin.
Got those bill collectors

Sayin "Hey is this Kandiss?"
Like I'm their damn friend!
Oh and thats not the worst that it gets
On lunch I crossed the grass
and stepped in some dog...

Sometimes
Sometimes...
I like to close my eyes
when Im in the shower
while the water beats
steady heat over my body
instantly calming me
as I retreat into the steam
that surrounds me like a cocoon
I call this the cleansing of my tired soul
at least until the water gets cold
Sometimes...
I wake up late...late in the midnight
hours..when the darkness has more power
because my dreams have tried to devour me
so I go walking ....until I wind up
In someone elses neighborhood...
because life wont let me sleep.

The Lovers
They kissed
with such passion
that the air around them
seemed to shimmer and glow
and no one passing by
could deny this...
Never had there been such a scene
On a park bench.
Yet she... watched them
intensely as if her life
depended on it
As if an essay question
would be written on the curve
of this womans' lips and how they slightly
dipped when he gave her his tongue.
She watched... with as much passion
in her eyes as they were displaying
with there bodies.
She could see...that they were alone
admist a world...

Just Once
Just once...
I want to
close my eyes
open my heart
and part my lips
to kiss...the soul
Of the One who I
am meant to Love.
Just Once...
I want to surrender
My Love to My Knight
In Shining Armour...
Instead of Sqaundering
My Passion with Theives
Who only seek to devour
The most delicate parts
Of me.
Just Once...I want to be
Adored ...revelled in
and watched over while I am
sleeping...
Just Once I want him
to smile as he wonders
what I am dreaming...

I Submit
The electricity within your
fingertips sends
delicate shivers down my spine
You are moving slowly and
taking your time
I like this...
this is alright
No hurries
No worries
Please take all night
Handle me with care
and Loving kindness
Gently stroke my hair
I wont deny this
I feel like Im floating on air
As gravity defies this
emotion now pouring out
Of my soul
In your arms
I am complete
I am whole
In you there is no savagery
As you lavish me with all...
That I need In...
