Poet Introduction
I'm not for everyone.
Whisper Your Intentions
I posted a want ad of sorts
A few men said a few things
Nothing that titillating
A girl gets tired of waiting
For the right man
To say the right things
So now I’m asking YOU
To whisper your intentions
Don’t worry, baby
I’ll hear you
Loud and clear
And when you’re finished…
I’m going to comply
A few men said a few things
Nothing that titillating
A girl gets tired of waiting
For the right man
To say the right things
So now I’m asking YOU
To whisper your intentions
Don’t worry, baby
I’ll hear you
Loud and clear
And when you’re finished…
I’m going to comply

Enchant Me
Show me how your world mirrors mine
Make everything okay
Then leave
Make everything okay
Then leave

Teased, Tormented & Bound
Hands behind my back
You tempt me with…you
My greed slowly dripping
From my lips
Down my chin
Between my legs
Pleading for a taste
The glint in your eyes
Your wicked laugh
Your sexiness
Gets me off
If all we did was this
I’d die a happy girl
You tempt me with…you
My greed slowly dripping
From my lips
Down my chin
Between my legs
Pleading for a taste
The glint in your eyes
Your wicked laugh
Your sexiness
Gets me off
If all we did was this
I’d die a happy girl

When People Don’t Talk
When people don’t talk
The space between words widens
What’s left unsaid takes on new meaning
All the things I thought you meant
Now mean…something
And I’m left to fill in the blanks myself
Because you choose not to say anything
Maybe you think you’re protecting me
Or you’re ashamed
Or you’re angry
Or you don’t want me to have feelings for you
You might have misunderstood something I’ve said
Flawed humans mirror flawed humans
We’re all clinging to the same life raft
So we tango
But we...

Or you’re ashamed
Or you’re angry
Or you don’t want me to have feelings for you

Flawed humans mirror flawed humans
We’re all clinging to the same life raft
So we tango

Shifting
The relentless search for answers
Not giving up the fight
Not. Giving. Up.
When is enough, enough?
That was his question
While he looked intently into my eyes
Kindness, compassion, concern
Stamped across his face
The loss of my core self, who I am
My identity has always been fragmented
My beliefs, my values
How I perceive my own thoughts
All of it
Constantly shifts unbeknownst to me
Until after the fact
Just that...
Not giving up the fight
Not. Giving. Up.
When is enough, enough?
That was his question
While he looked intently into my eyes
Kindness, compassion, concern
Stamped across his face
The loss of my core self, who I am
My identity has always been fragmented
My beliefs, my values
How I perceive my own thoughts
All of it
Constantly shifts unbeknownst to me
Until after the fact
Just that...

Thoughts of You Have Me Quivering
When I touch myself
Every thought of you
Ripples through my body
Settling in my heart
Setting my flesh on fire
All the joy
The exquisite pain
The satisfaction
Of being your lover
Is released into the world
It’s almost enough
To hold me over
Until you are here
Beside me
On me
Inside me
Claiming what’s yours
This quivering need
Now soaking with want
Knows only one name
Yours
You’re love is the elixir, baby
Come heal me
Every thought of you
Ripples through my body
Settling in my heart
Setting my flesh on fire
All the joy
The exquisite pain
The satisfaction
Of being your lover
Is released into the world
It’s almost enough
To hold me over
Until you are here
Beside me
On me
Inside me
Claiming what’s yours
This quivering need
Now soaking with want
Knows only one name
Yours
You’re love is the elixir, baby
Come heal me

The Guest House
The door opened slowly
The sound of music familiar
I made my way down the dimly lit hall
Stepping through dark, heavy curtains
I was greeted with the scent of ylang ylang
The soft glow of amber candlelight
His magnificent body on the four poster bed
Resplendent in a black silk robe
And his wicked smile
The glint in his eyes dark and foreboding
I set down my suitcase
My breath escaping in a silent plea
How did the heavens know?
Healing comes in all shapes and sizes
All forms ...

Muse With Me
Muse with me my love
Together we sing harmoniously
My blush
Your flush
Hands held in solemn prayer
Clutching
As wake after wake
Envelopes us
My blush
Your flush
Trembling
Quaking
The sounds of our cataclysmic joining
A choir filling the night sky
It’s only you
That fulfills me
Together we sing harmoniously
My blush
Your flush
Hands held in solemn prayer
Clutching
As wake after wake
Envelopes us
My blush
Your flush
Trembling
Quaking
The sounds of our cataclysmic joining
A choir filling the night sky
It’s only you
That fulfills me

Not Meant For Me
Romance has not been meant for me
Since the days that my love was taken from me
When the world decided he couldn’t be with me
And my life crashed around me
Mmmmmm
And to think
I almost believed
I could have found love again with you
Mmmmm
Romance was not meant for me
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm
I wandered in my mind aimlessly
I couldn’t see past my heart’s new vacancy
My fortress was constructed painfully
Becoming debaucherous my new specialty
The earth traveled the sun ever so faithfully
Over...

I Spent the Day Thinking About You
The universe
In all her infinite wisdom
Reminds me not to stray
A beaten path has it’s purpose
I’m of a different cloth
Stitched together by my own hand
A patchwork of pain
Love, longing, togetherness
Your magnetic pull almost capsized me
And to think I spent the day thinking about you
I dared to imagine waking up next to you
I swore I heard the man in the moon laugh
I walk the earth alone
My feet battle worn and scarred
Their resting place will be the darkness that follows ...

These Days - A Collaboration With WillowsWhimsies
Where are the real souls
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity
