Awakening
Open eyes
toward the round
luminescent moon
unable to tell
if she is in reach
or simply
largely
hovering just too far
Connect the dots
among the stars
the trail
tear stained
and slightly
blurry
through the haze
of disbelief
Acceptance
is my freedom
the key
to release
Still other stars
as far as the heavens
stretch
to touch my tongue to
so very tactile
soft and warm
and open
if the weather is right
and you can be still
with me
in the moment
Light is...

Ever After, the Next Chapter
Three little words loosed the grip
that caused such pain.
One simple truth you choked back
for too long.
The villain cast himself the hero.
Your silence gave credence
to his lies.
And all this time
time was passing,
shadows laughing.
There is no regret.
The princess stood on her own two feet,
battled the dragon herself,
and walked out of the tower
hitching...
that caused such pain.
One simple truth you choked back
for too long.
The villain cast himself the hero.
Your silence gave credence
to his lies.
And all this time
time was passing,
shadows laughing.
There is no regret.

battled the dragon herself,
and walked out of the tower

Broken
Fallen through the cracks of perception,
not broken enough.
Could've been worse
means the wounds must not run deep.
Let the tape and glue
hold her together.
No need for comfort,
pay no heed to her tears.
It's equal to whining
since her nightmare is more silent.
Her soul did the screaming.
Forget her terror
shut up in a room
with him,
older and stronger,
buzzed on beer and weed.
He talked about life
and stroked her hair
while she waited for him to finish.
Told her...
not broken enough.
Could've been worse
means the wounds must not run deep.
Let the tape and glue
hold her together.
No need for comfort,
pay no heed to her tears.

Tension on the Rise
No need for foreplay,
The tension has been building.
All that matters is touching
And tasting.
I've closed my eyes and imagined
So many times
The feel of you,
Like we've done this before.
The images are no longer enough.
I want the sounds,
The sensations,
The tearing of clothing
In hot impatient fury.
It won't take long for you to rise,
For me to be damp.
I'm in the habit
Of getting wet
When I see your name.
I tease myself with your words.
Engorged and throbbing
For you.
Fingers incapable ...
The tension has been building.

And tasting.

In hot impatient fury.
It won't take long for you to rise,

Distant Visions of a Quiet Beach
I still hold you high,
but your pedestal is wide
and I know
I am not at the beginning
of your call back line.
You can smile
knowing everywhere else
I'm having more fun than feeling,
where with you
the two mingled
and danced
harmoniously,
overwhelmingly,
and it got away with me.
I can be happy with the knowledge
that our first walk
down a dream beach
with crashing waves
and glistening sand
was together.
The fire was hot,
but we were hotter.
My breath caught ...
but your pedestal is wide
and I know
I am not at the beginning
of your call back line.
You can smile

I'm having more fun than feeling,

No Strings
Conversation sizzled
on the screen.
Pictures lie,
but she pushed that aside.
Dinner was cold.
She continuously choked
on her words.
He was easy and cool.
Talkative.
She let him lead her
out of her comfort zone
where there was nothing to do
in the awkward tension
of the hotel room
than touch.
Kisses were empty.
Mushy.
Chemistry was lacking.
His lukewarm caress
going no deeper
than the surface of her skin.
He is full of awe and compliments ...
on the screen.

My Lilly for so Long
for the competition Lily,
and for my beautiful daughter, Lillyanna
She fell from the sky
and into my arms.
Lilly,
little dancing flower.
Sun kissed
beauty.
Loves every color
of the rainbow,
and every person
who smiles with her.
She has the power to melt
the sternest of nurses,
and leaves in her wake
a happy trail of petals.
She believes every girl
is a princess.
In giggles and snuggles
and scary things in the dark.
That no man
is stronger than her daddy,
and...

I Left a Letter Instead of a Light Tonight
for the competition Leave a Letter
I am sorry to leave
this note
by the bed,
neatly made
and empty.
The darkness outside
isn't as thick
and stifling
as the light I leave on
while waiting
for you.
Out there,
I'll find air.
I need to breathe.
I forgot how to
without you.
Your breath
is busy
filling her lungs,
while I suffocate.
So goodbye.
I'm sorry to leave a note.
I would have told you myself,
if you'd bothered
to come home.

No Harm Done
So I went a little crazy.
It's not like you
Didn't help to push the "on" button.
You got me playing,
Then stood back
Saying "tisk tisk"
With all the rest.
Let's stand around a joke
And twist it
'Til it turns inside out,
And hides the intention
It was lain out with.
Let's fling judgements.
Fill in the blanks
With colors
That run over the full picture.
A picture you never actually saw
To begin with.
The true portrait
Still hangs
On my heart
With not a crack or crinkle.
Not that you...
It's not like you
Didn't help to push the "on" button.
You got me playing,
Then stood back
Saying "tisk tisk"
With all the rest.
Let's stand around a joke
And twist it
'Til it turns inside out,

Taste of Honey
He watches her dance
Slow.
Pale skin reflecting
The glow of moonlight
Washing over her.
She seems
Ethereal.
Untouchable.
Flash of blue eyes,
She looks past the surface
To his soul
Where she can see every intention
The night holds.
His excitement is apparent,
But he isn't done playing with her.
He'll have this little nymph
Begging
Before long.
Golden
Thick
Sweet
Honey ...
Slow.

Washing over her.

Ethereal.
Untouchable.

Wet
There was a moth
In the shower.
Flitting around
Before resting
In the window.
Waiting, I imagine,
For her wings to dry.
She was pretty in her natural browns.
A dressed down butterfly.
She's been here a few days.
Not sure why she would choose
This room
As her home.
Maybe she found the small space cozy,
Or perhaps she stayed
For the friend she saw in the mirror.
She was gone when I looked back.
It saddened me to think
She could now be
Circling the drain.
There was nothing...
In the shower.
Flitting around
Before resting
In the window.
Waiting, I imagine,
For her wings to dry.
She was pretty in her natural browns.
A dressed down butterfly.
She's been here a few days.
