Beautiful Moments
I don't want to write about beautiful moments
If I'm not right about what they are
It gets me too close to my emotions
When it's probably better to keep them far
Not so far that I can't reach them
Because I need to stay receptive to touch
Just can't take them out of my pocket
So that I don't feel too much
My inner voice is pleading with me
To capture the beauty in snapshot view
It doesn't seem to remember the bleeding its seen
And all the shit that I've been through
When I've spilled ink on screens
And displayed all that...
If I'm not right about what they are
It gets me too close to my emotions
When it's probably better to keep them far
Not so far that I can't reach them
Because I need to stay receptive to touch
Just can't take them out of my pocket
So that I don't feel too much
My inner voice is pleading with me
To capture the beauty in snapshot view
It doesn't seem to remember the bleeding its seen
And all the shit that I've been through

A Look Back on the Dangers of Love
I don't ache for your affection anymore
I chose to let go of that deep desire
I let love flow out until there was none left to pour
So you could no longer light my heart on fire
But sometimes I think about the heat of your flames
And the passion they always seemed to ignite
I would glow with desire from from the depth of my veins
And an outside display revealed your grip on me tight
My smile was made to burn through your soul
While my body was yours to have as you pleased
These hands and lips were under your control
And my...

Traces of Places
I miss the way you'd understand me
As if it were always effortless
My heart was never safe with you
But I remember why I thought it was
It was like we were one person
Thoughts and feelings shared completely
Connected by our flaws
Redefining what embodies perfection
In nights of misunderstanding
I find myself searching for you
Wishing that you wanted to be here
Hoping you could hear my calls
But you've long let go and closed that door
I am but a fragment of time
Just a space that filled you with moments ...
As if it were always effortless
My heart was never safe with you
But I remember why I thought it was
It was like we were one person
Thoughts and feelings shared completely

Redefining what embodies perfection

Wishing that you wanted to be here
Hoping you could hear my calls
But you've long let go and closed that door
I am but a fragment of time
Just a space that filled you with moments ...

NON-FICTION PROSE

Fading Into Obscurity
Silent vibrations, but so loud inside my head. My heartbeat is just below the audible threshold. Its frequency is not potent enough to make a person feel.
A person. That's what I try to tell myself I am, what I strive to be. But I am just seen as a human shell. No semblance of emotions I encase are reflected in my outward being. And when I project my heart from the inside, the language gets glossed over, overlooked and passed by. Because no one can understand it. And I don't blame them. It's work to translate and interpret. And I can only do so much to be clear.

Merry XXXmas
Yes indeed it's that time of year
For family, food and holiday cheer
But my mind is shifting too far out of gear
Engulfed by the heat from thoughts that appear
Let me be a little more clear
And explain what I'd do if you were here
How I'd give gifts that can lift winter's chill
To receive the gift of indulging in the thrill
There'd be a special present hiding under the tree
As soon as you come out to see
You'd find wrapped up, just me
Waiting to be opened, my Christmas fantasy
Peel off the layers piece by piece ...
For family, food and holiday cheer
But my mind is shifting too far out of gear
Engulfed by the heat from thoughts that appear
Let me be a little more clear

Morning Rain
When you reach for me, you can feel the flame
It's hot, the heat untamed
But my lips, they taste your name
I just want to be your morning rain
Would you lay down for me to take you
Gently soak, invigorate you
With passionate drops, soothe and wake you
Oh, I yearn to be your morning rain
Feel the wet upon your skin
As my body breathes you in
Search for lust that hides deeper than you've been
Taste the flow of morning rain
Droplets left on you trace paths of your ventures
And lead the way to discover treasures ...
It's hot, the heat untamed
But my lips, they taste your name
I just want to be your morning rain
Would you lay down for me to take you
Gently soak, invigorate you
With passionate drops, soothe and wake you
Oh, I yearn to be your morning rain
Feel the wet upon your skin
As my body breathes you in
Search for lust that hides deeper than you've been
Taste the flow of morning rain
Droplets left on you trace paths of your ventures
And lead the way to discover treasures ...

Reflective Realizations
I let you take my body because it felt so good to give you my heart
In those moments, I didn't require you to give me yours
I was satisfied with just your full attention
Finally I was the subject of your exclusive focus
I'd let you have me in starving nights
Because I just craved to be close to you
So hungry for love, and especially yours
I took it any way I could get it
Oh how I cherished the crumbs I got
They fed me for days
Though never left me fully satiated
On those nights, you wanted me
I loved to be wanted by only you ...

Kind of Love
(Something from quite a while ago. Can hardly stand that I wrote it. Hopefully someone else can get something out of it).
I'm sad at the fears you have
The ones where you believe that you'd be in debt to someone
If they came through for you in the ways you needed
That's not true
It hurts my heart that you believe that
Yes, partly because I long to help you and can't
Aware that you won't let me
But also because the others who could and would
Can't because you're not receptive to their offerings
And you'd argue and say that you are ...

Unforgettable Imprint
You've been on my mind a lot
I know why, and so would you
But I can't talk about it
I don't really know how to
I'm scared of how someone else might handle it
I don't want to feel the icy lack of empathic understanding
You're the only one I trusted with this subject
And I'm lucky I did
That's how I feel, lucky
Because of the way it touched me
When you did all the right things
Without even knowing what they were
Either I was transparent
Or you have good intuition
But I won't forget it
Ever
...

Bullets
Oh the little things
They aren't so little
When they come from
The right bullets
The ones that can't be dodged
And take some time to be dislodged
They can flood my thoughts
Or leave me stuck in the middle
Of trying to unravel myself
And the sanity I've lost hold of, why?
Why did I have to take attention to it?
I should have muted my soul to your words
Yeah, I wish I never heard it
So I wouldn't have to feel
I don't want to be torn in empty spaces
And I don't want to fill my solitude
With what it's like to know I'm...

Burn With Me
I want to kiss you with soft fingertips
And touch you tenderly with my lips
So you burn hot with anticipation
Before I ignite the flame
Want you to feel it in reverse
Before I flip the script
And give it to you how you want it
Just the way I too crave
Let me hold you in my arms
And keep your body close to mine
Sending trails of sweet love
To every part that makes you feel
I will travel the surface
Just to get to the depths
Making trails to places
That no one has ever ventured
I'll stain the paths with my kiss ...
And touch you tenderly with my lips
So you burn hot with anticipation
Before I ignite the flame
Want you to feel it in reverse
Before I flip the script
And give it to you how you want it
Just the way I too crave
Let me hold you in my arms
And keep your body close to mine
Sending trails of sweet love
To every part that makes you feel
I will travel the surface
Just to get to the depths
Making trails to places
That no one has ever ventured
I'll stain the paths with my kiss ...

Melodious Ocean Waves
Burning with emotion
Lost in the embers of hopelessness and sorrow
I seek out waters laden with troubled depth
To wash my soul in the drowning darkness
I crave to quell the loneliness
Where I can scream out names and not be heard
So in the discovery of my loss
No one will know that my last breath
Was tainted with grief
And riddled with heartbreak
And that my lungs searched for hope
Before tragedies unfolded me
Sounds of waves creep up in the distance
I feel ready to let go
The tide rises, I fall ...
Lost in the embers of hopelessness and sorrow
I seek out waters laden with troubled depth
To wash my soul in the drowning darkness
I crave to quell the loneliness
Where I can scream out names and not be heard
So in the discovery of my loss
No one will know that my last breath
Was tainted with grief
And riddled with heartbreak
And that my lungs searched for hope
Before tragedies unfolded me
Sounds of waves creep up in the distance
I feel ready to let go
The tide rises, I fall ...
