Kiss
Ever so sweetly you touch my lips
A gentle caress, whisper soft
My hand slides around your neck pulling you closer
You deepen the kiss with your tongue
A ritual mating dance ensues
Each leading the other through heightened sensations
The fever builds, the blood rushes
Hands begin to roam freely
Exploring each others body with wonderous delight
My breath begins to come faster
And my heart begins to race
My skin tingles with desire aching for something more
Your hand cradles my neck
Fingers kneading the...

Lie In It
Caught in the act trapped in the fact
I made my bed now I have to lie in it
I wanted to win, but it was a sin
Now I have to confess to it
Like a shooting star I fell so far
In the tick of a clock I was in too deep
Now I've been stained I just feel drained
I've made too many secrets to keep
"Let me out!" I wanted to shout
But there was nobody around to hear
And even if I did, I was no longer a kid
I've tightened my own noose I fear
This was it, I'm afraid to admit
I can no longer count the sins I've...

Choke
The lies choke me,
constricting my throat with their icy tentacles.
Vines riddled with thorns,
twist and scrape inside my airway.
Blood running down my trachea
pools in my lungs,
Each burbling breath
a disturbing reminder of the webs I've woven.

Sick
Too many waves
Too much commotion
Too many thoughts
And too much emotion
Back and forth, up and down
The world is rocking, I think I'll drown
I'm losing touch, I can't commit
I can't help it, I'm sea sick.
Too many people
Not enough air
I'm a prisoner
Tied to this chair
Too fast, too slow, side to side
No privacy on this stifling ride
I'm losing my mind bit by bit
I can't help it, I'm car sick
Slow me down, silence the storm
Its 40 below yet I'm still too warm
Too much chaos I can't breathe ...

My Best Friend
You're the peanut to my butter
And the toast to my jam
You love me with my faults
You know who I really am
You're the Hershey to my kiss
And the bumble to my bee
When I am around you
I feel comfortable and free
You're the star to my burst
And milk to my cookie
How much do I love you?
More than Han loves his Wookie!
You're the flip to my flop
And the she to my nannigans
Crap, I wrote myself in a corner
What rhymes with that?.....
Mannequins!!
Rhyming skills aside

Suffocated
I couldn't breathe
I tried to scream
Silent tears
A horrible dream
You covered my face
And held me down
I couldn't move
No help around
I was too small
Your hands too strong
What did I do
That was so wrong???
So I just cried
Wishing you'd leave
Alone in the dark
I couldn't breathe...

Not Afraid
I'm not afraid of the darkness
For only in the dark can one truly see the light.
Our eyes will adjust to see the stars painted in the sky at night.
Im not afraid of sleep
For through sleep the body gets a chance to heal.
Reducing the aches and pains imperfection forces us to feel.
So don't feel grief if I slumber awhile
For I shall awake refreshed and new.
Do not feel alone for you don't have to wait long before I come back to you.
Don't shed any tears for I am not lost forever
My story has not ended I'm just on a different chapter.

Beauty in Life
Swirling colors dancing flames
Bring this monochrome world to shame
A rainbows arc crowning the earth
A shimmering sight proving its worth
The songs of whales echo in the deep
And the howls of a wolf grace my sleep
They are music most pure, in a world gone mute
They are so hauntingly absolute
Winters death gives way to spring
And all the flowers it does bring
The summers rays warms us all
Then cools us down with the breeze of fall
Morning grass glistens with dew
Reflecting colors of every hue
There is...

Loving You
Your eyes hold me captive
Your arms hold me steady
I'm falling in love
I've fallen already
I give you my heart
I give you breath
I give you my kisses
Till we're parted in death
I thought I was alive
How wrong I had been
You opened my eyes
And made me see again
If this is how it feels
When two become one
Then I give you my all
Until my life is done
Your arms hold me steady
I'm falling in love
I've fallen already
I give you my heart
I give you breath
I give you my kisses
Till we're parted in death
I thought I was alive
How wrong I had been
You opened my eyes
And made me see again
If this is how it feels
When two become one
Then I give you my all
Until my life is done

The Nothing...
I'm suffocating.
I want to claw my way out of my skin
Not caring how bloody and torn I'd be, for I am that already
A shredded corpse disguised as whole
Mimicking the beat from a counterfeit heart.
I'm imploding.
Being pulverized by crushing defeat
Innocence vanquished and forgotten
A casualty of immense desolation.
I'm disintegrating
Vanishing from existence
Evaporating from memory
Until all that remains is.......

Torn
You're claws are out you rip and tear
You beat me down till I'm not there
You slash and stab without a thought
You aim your words just like a shot
You spew out hate assigning blame
You live to threaten, blind, and maim.
You wont let me grow you won't let me live
Guilt and shame are all you give
You chain me down till I can't breathe
Knowing I'm too weak to leave
You've stripped me bare, removed my soul
Cut me open and swallowed me whole.
You insult with lies until I'm deaf
Steal my joy till I have none left
I've...

Behind the Mask
Hiding the hurt, hiding the pain
Hiding the tears that fall like rain.
Saying I'm fine , when I'm anything but,
This ache In my soul rips at my gut.
My skin is on fire, I burn from within
The calm on my face is an ongoing sin.
The world must stay out, I've built up a wall
My fragile lie will collapse should it ever fall.
Loneliness consumes me, it eats away the years
Until my life is swallowed by unending fears.
Waiting for someone to see I wear a mask
And care enough to remove it, is that too much to ask?
Hiding the tears that fall like rain.
Saying I'm fine , when I'm anything but,
This ache In my soul rips at my gut.
My skin is on fire, I burn from within
The calm on my face is an ongoing sin.
The world must stay out, I've built up a wall
My fragile lie will collapse should it ever fall.
Loneliness consumes me, it eats away the years
Until my life is swallowed by unending fears.
Waiting for someone to see I wear a mask
And care enough to remove it, is that too much to ask?
