Flannel
Keeps you warm,
when there is a chill in the air.
Rugged, yet soft on your skin.
I'll give you the shirt off my back,
As long as I can see you wear it,
with nothing else underneath.
when there is a chill in the air.
Rugged, yet soft on your skin.

Revealed
Revealed my writing to,
my best friend last night, who
might now think I'm crazy.
But I know that, just maybe,
she might actually enjoy it,
and tell me it's not shit.

Addicted
I want you to be addicted to my kiss.
I'll be your dealer.
You'll be my junkie.
After one taste I will own you forever.
I'll be a fixture in your mind.
You'll beg for me.
Only I can provide the euphoria you seek.
I'll keep you sated.
You'll keep coming back for more.
No bad trips, guaranteed!
I'll take care of you.
You'll love me forever.
You are mine.
I'll be your dealer.
You'll be my junkie.
After one taste I will own you forever.
I'll be a fixture in your mind.
You'll beg for me.
Only I can provide the euphoria you seek.
I'll keep you sated.
You'll keep coming back for more.

I'll take care of you.
You'll love me forever.
You are mine.

With Me
This poem was entered in the Keep a Secret Competition when I first joined DU.
With Me
What could it be?
You never asked to talk to me alone before.
Of course I will be there. I always have.
Your tears say everything but nothing.
What is it?
...
What do I say? I never expected That.
No, I'm not disappointed in you,
but why tell me?
Of course I won't tell Him.
You can trust me.
I will keep this for you without judgment.
But in my own selfishness and desire, I wish it was with me.

DARK POEM

Light and Dark
I saw the good in her.
Sweet, gentle, kind,
Playful.
But something was not right.
A half-smile that said,
"If he only knew."
The inconsistencies grew,
And a shadow fell.
Her shine...tarnished.
And she grew darker and blacker
in my mind.
No way for her to bring back the light.
So there she remains, bound in darkness.

How to Eliminate Drama
Drama (the stressful kind) often stems from uncertainty.
There is always some kind of misunderstanding.
It's the not-knowing that fuels the fire.
And the more we assume to know what we do not,
the more out of control the blaze will get.
So here is my solution to ending the drama:
Be honest.
Go to the source.
Ask the hard or embarrassing questions.
Get the real answers.
Don't feed the flames.

The Gift
I knew I'd be one of dozens
of men vying for your affection.
I knew you'd be showered with gifts.
Diamonds, lingerie, flowers.
Those are nice, but they are not you.
I know, to you, I am different from the others.
Our friendship is deeper, stronger.
I knew I could get you something
that would touch your heart.
When you'd look at it you'd think of me, and smile.
The idea came to me so quickly.
It was going to be special.
Custom.
One-of-a-kind.
Like you.
I was so nervous to give it to you.

Your Lips
Soft and smooth,
glistening with pink gloss.
How I long to kiss you.
To feel the warmth of your embrace.
Lightning passing through tiny nerves.
Our tongues gliding,
caressing,
dancing.
Feeling your soft breaths,
as you whisper your love to me.
glistening with pink gloss.
How I long to kiss you.
To feel the warmth of your embrace.
Lightning passing through tiny nerves.

Absence
It's going to be hard,
When I think about you all of the time.
But I know it can make us grow
Closer together.
Everyday I reach out to you.
Hoping you are happy to hear from me.
Maybe you are,
But I worry when you don't respond.
They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder"
So I am going to try,
To give you a break.
And let you seek me.
I fear that you won't,
And I will be lonely.
But I hold onto hope
That you really will miss me.
And when we reunite,
Our joy will be greater,
Our time...
When I think about you all of the time.
But I know it can make us grow
Closer together.
Everyday I reach out to you.
Hoping you are happy to hear from me.
Maybe you are,
But I worry when you don't respond.
They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder"
So I am going to try,
To give you a break.
And let you seek me.
I fear that you won't,
And I will be lonely.
But I hold onto hope
That you really will miss me.
And when we reunite,
Our joy will be greater,
Our time...

We are the Same
I can't sleep.
Because you are on my mind.
You brighten my days
And calm my fears.
I feel safe when I am with you.
But you don't love me.
You can't sleep.
Because he is always on your mind.
He brightens your days
And calms your fears.
You feel safe when he is with you.
But he doesn't love you.
We are the Same.
Because you are on my mind.
You brighten my days
And calm my fears.
I feel safe when I am with you.
But you don't love me.
You can't sleep.
Because he is always on your mind.
He brightens your days
And calms your fears.
You feel safe when he is with you.
But he doesn't love you.
