POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I was just with you
I was just with you;
Time did its "wait for no one" thing.
What? The moon weren't the sun to bring?
So here comes more rambling...
I can see you faltering at your edges
Your intoxicated self holds none of your secrets
That a guarded tongue may...
Please let go and unashamedly stay...
I feel overwhelmed by you, who you are
Being unreservedly yourself with me...
Everything I am you steal,
Hesitantly, I thought I’d never feel so real.
We’ve waited so long to find the other
How lucky can one lifetime be?
That...

Wearing You
Leaving in your shirt
taking our last embrace with me.
Feeling you on my skin,
warming my soul
holding you to me.
This piece of cloth
carries parts of you
I can keep until
We touch again,
Relishing
the last cuddle
as the day fades;
Touching my breasts,
my stomach...
sleeping with you
in any way I can
so I don’t miss you
as much
when I wake up.

Inside You
I want to walk naked through
your mind,
Tiptoeing around the sparks
your synapses shoots
when contact is made;
Stand behind your iris
looking through your blue eyes
to see your world,
fogging your optical lens
with my body heat;
Shimmy past your nose
Tickling your senses
with my fingertips
sneezing won’t grant you escape...
So Bless me;
Rolling in your smile...
Wetting my skin
as I escape through your
mouth when your
tongue dances with mine.

In Your Head
The way your barbed tongue speaks
Of your soapbox imposed misery
Shadow traced onto a life that’s not yours
Pulling me down and under
How much carnage through you’ll blunder?
Don’t let the light filter through your hate
Turn and march heavily away
You won’t smile the smile that’s needed,
Let alone do what’s right
keeping your spiteful heart awake at night.
It’s in your head, all in your head
With your disjointed point of view
You’re pushing with all your might
The moment I leave, we’re through...
You’ll only have your own...

Thank you
You are the perfect calm in my storm
The rain that doesn't wet me...
This heart-stopping grip
Your eyes deliver when you look into me;
The gentle kiss on my forehead
Ears generously listening
Without judgment or prejudice...
Strong fingers intertwining mine,
Your simplicity in giving everything to me
Leaving me absolutely floored...
This purity and warmth,
I've never felt this before,
I love it...
Please never stop being you;
Everything that you are,
That you selflessly give,
Just beautiful...
Thank you x

Shit hey...
So this is what it feels like
to have the wind
knocked out of one's sails,
kind of gutting really...
so quiet and blank
inside my mind,
my heartbeat slowing
trying to regain some sort
of balance, so that
I don't implode.
I just want to sit so still
slowly drinking a wooded red,
letting the news wash over me,
allowing myself to
surrender to the reaction
of results that I cannot
change, but can do something
about.
I'm afraid to let you help me;
when I don't know
how to feel this myself.
Just don't...

You
There was nothing I needed more
than knowing that you’re there,
the big cuddle and your whispered words
“I’m not going anywhere”
I've never let anyone in so close
and somehow you've gotten through.
You’re seeing parts of me I don’t share
But I’m doing so with you...
I don’t know how to explain this
the warm feeling that you leave.
All I know is that I’m deeply taken with
You, my gentleman named Steve.

Sleep
I fell asleep laying on you,
a silly thing for a girl like me to do
it caught you by surprise too...
The silence was deafening,
a beautiful respite I found
only your heartbeat for sound...
Just being you, outshining the darkness,
safe arms wrapped around me tight
I slept without 'them' tonight...

Sillage
The air carries your scent
Like a ribbon dancer
Twisting, twirling, engulfing
Gentle feather touches ...
Permeate my clothes
Flush my cheeks
Brighten my eyes
Ignite my skin
Like a flame without
Her spark,
Just ‘on’...
That’s what trails behind
When you walk away...
Like a ribbon dancer
Twisting, twirling, engulfing
Gentle feather touches ...
Permeate my clothes
Flush my cheeks
Brighten my eyes
Ignite my skin

Hungry
All thoughts of consumption
volatile off our skin
until we can be alone
without curious eyes watching
so I can devour you in the dark...

Not what you expect
You've come to me in earnest,
A driving desire to become hot and sweaty...
Black and skin tight
suited up to play...
Holding me still
opening me up,
slipping yourself into me,
regaining your fit...
Positioning yourself in such a way
to cease the movement of my tongue.
Apparently this supports you,
Right there, on your bridge...
Strong hands pulling at my strings
Crisscrossing the laces up,
Pulling them tight,
Securing me to you,
Your prisoner as you pound away...
I thought you’d go on forever,
moving...

Taken
You know I don't sleep
when I'm near you...
I'm a creature of preservation.
Maybe these bones
remember straining
under the taking of me...
Please hold me
while they dance
mercilessly in my soul
Wrap me in your body...
Don't be upset if I recoil.
It's not you,
It's them...
Recover me,
I'm unwillingly taken.
