Last Dance is Always Yours
I'm in the corner
watching you kiss her
and I can taste the whiskey
on your lips
feel the insistence of your tongue
Drawn closer, slowly navigate
the dark perimeter of the bar
see how she presses
her breasts against your chest
too far, too many shadows
but I know her nipples are hard
like mine
Broken from my trance
by a voice trying to lure me
to the dance floor
Knock back the rest of my drink
let him take me
where the bass begs
the thrust and sway of my hips
and there's his body,...

Whisper to a Roar
The timbre of your voice
meant only for me
stills me, breathless
coaxes me to writhe
rise up to meet you
melts my inhibitions
into rivulets that quench your thirst
as you feed my hunger
until we distill to nothing
but animal senses
chasing the need
to devour each other
meant only for me
stills me, breathless
coaxes me to writhe
rise up to meet you
melts my inhibitions
into rivulets that quench your thirst
as you feed my hunger
until we distill to nothing
but animal senses
chasing the need
to devour each other

Uncharted Reverie
Lying awake, I long
to map your topography
trace each hill and valley
commit your textures
to sense memories
of taste and touch
explore in exquisite detail
your geography
seek those places to
awaken your landscape
draw heat from your center
discover secrets
you didn't know you were keeping
to map your topography
trace each hill and valley
commit your textures
to sense memories
of taste and touch
explore in exquisite detail
your geography
seek those places to
awaken your landscape
draw heat from your center
discover secrets
you didn't know you were keeping

Broken Rear Views and Dirty Headlights
Driving through the night
radio up way too loud
still can't drown out
what's rolling through my head
question my lack of guilt
for feelings I'm told I shouldn't have
unrestrained by boundaries
Then they play that damn song
the one you turned up for me
no longer in heavy rotation
no expectation of the memory flood
think about turning it off
but my hand doesn't move
so I sing
Everything is swimming
don't know if you even remember
why it means anything to me
shake my head and half laugh
at the...

Ghost Writing
It will go unanswered
but hit send anyway
like every day since
your silence began
Wonder if your plan
has been cancelled
curious about the day
a reply may come
from another someone
assigned your number
Of course, I know what you'd say
to my silly rhetorical
the fun always in asking anyway
"2 am is a good time to make blueberry muffins, right?"
I'll never stop missing you
and your enthusiastic yeses
but hit send anyway
like every day since
your silence began
Wonder if your plan
has been cancelled
curious about the day
a reply may come
from another someone
assigned your number
Of course, I know what you'd say
to my silly rhetorical
the fun always in asking anyway
"2 am is a good time to make blueberry muffins, right?"
I'll never stop missing you
and your enthusiastic yeses

I'm Your Aphrodite
I don't give a fuck
about anything
when I'm basking
in the gleam of your eyes
looking up at me
from between my thighs
like you've unlocked secrets
of the universe
Insecurities be damned
I am beauty
the Goddess of Chubby Tummies
and Round Asses
reveling in the grip of your hands
on fleshy, trembling limbs
controlling my greedy, immodest hips
your tongue worships
torments
demands
Throaty howls
and growling profanity
the essence of sex unleashed
covers your face
hungry lips...

But You Never Really Let Go
They make it look easier
in movies, on TV
painful, sad, but simple
peaceful
No one warns you about the sound
the gurgle and rattle
of last gasping breaths
or that your aunt will urge
her sister's broken body to fight
as if your father hadn't told
the love of his life that it was safe to move on
and you hadn't held her hand
whispering that it would be okay
you'd take care of your dad
You do know to expect the silence
that eventually comes
Some emotion without a name
settled in, burrowed...

Can't Stop the Ringing in My Ears
Fell asleep on the fucking sofa
again and woke to the sound
of your ring tone coming from my dreams
and my stupid hand fumbling
for the phone
Torn between laughter and weeping
it's been seventeen and a half weeks
since the last call
my head still hasn't got the message
Decide on neither, take a deep breath
and drag my sad ass to bed
again and woke to the sound
of your ring tone coming from my dreams
and my stupid hand fumbling
for the phone
Torn between laughter and weeping
it's been seventeen and a half weeks
since the last call
my head still hasn't got the message
Decide on neither, take a deep breath
and drag my sad ass to bed

Maybe They Mourn You Too
Went for a ride today
on the boardwalk by the bay
passed the beach shared with you
brown grasses swaying in golden sand
grey rocks teased by barely-there waves
half moon hanging in blue sky, sun still dancing on the water
Did you know the gulls call your name?

Giving Up Goes Both Ways
Copper and bile
flavor my rage
rise again in my mouth
and I restrain the urge
to hurl it all at you
because it would only be air
whistling past
your narcissistic ears
Stale sweat scents the air
tells tales of broken promises
another never again
turned to just one more time
that can't be
won't ever be
just one
Hope dries up
crumbles like autumn leaves
in your hands
scatters to the wind
But you don't need us
family is tedious
and expects too much
flavor my rage
rise again in my mouth
and I restrain the urge
to hurl it all at you
because it would only be air
whistling past
your narcissistic ears
Stale sweat scents the air
tells tales of broken promises
another never again
turned to just one more time
that can't be
won't ever be
just one
Hope dries up
crumbles like autumn leaves
in your hands
scatters to the wind
But you don't need us
family is tedious
and expects too much

And So it Goes
I'd almost forgotten numb
it's been so long
since I felt the need to bury
instead of sharing every fucking feeling
I could find words for
Until I read yours
And froze as the warmth
of seeing your name
deadened to emptiness
Three scribbled sentences
the epitaph of seven years
it's been so long
since I felt the need to bury
instead of sharing every fucking feeling
I could find words for
Until I read yours
And froze as the warmth
of seeing your name
deadened to emptiness
Three scribbled sentences
the epitaph of seven years
