I like aching for you
That bittersweet ache for you
The piercing pain I embrace
To ward off total loss
Struck again as I remembered you
This hunger for you
Reminds me that I feel
I embrace it
Drawing you close
To bury you fresh
Again this night
Packaged safely within my chest
I’ll meet you again
Now and every day to come
In the quiet hours of the night
To dream myself back into your arms
To dream you back into my life
My love, my body, my heart
My mind, my story
Yes, all the best parts begin and end
With you, love of my...
The piercing pain I embrace

This hunger for you
Reminds me that I feel
I embrace it
Drawing you close
To bury you fresh
Again this night
Packaged safely within my chest
I’ll meet you again
Now and every day to come
In the quiet hours of the night
To dream myself back into your arms
To dream you back into my life
My love, my body, my heart
My mind, my story
Yes, all the best parts begin and end
With you, love of my...

Touch in the Night
Midnight moments think of you
As seconds tick with reaching hand
So long now missing…
How are you here
on my mind?
Have you forgotten waiting sleepless
for a living dream?
I can’t
I live this longing every night
Feel my breath sinking into you
Sink, Love, sink
Forever into me
Don’t withdraw
Feel me grasping you
Let’s slowly softly
Share another kiss
Pause the time forever
In that heartbeat that we finally found
Beating the song of us
Twin hearts in relived embrace
Yes, Love,
Feel me...
As seconds tick with reaching hand
So long now missing…
How are you here
on my mind?
Have you forgotten waiting sleepless
for a living dream?
I can’t
I live this longing every night
Feel my breath sinking into you
Sink, Love, sink
Forever into me
Don’t withdraw
Feel me grasping you
Let’s slowly softly
Share another kiss
Pause the time forever
In that heartbeat that we finally found
Beating the song of us
Twin hearts in relived embrace
Yes, Love,
Feel me...

Ghost of my Affection
Welcome to my haunted heart,
Ghost I love.
Only lacking are the wisps of you
Ah, the touch…
Brush my breast with your breeze
Earthy cool
Rest with me; come, talk awhile
Calm my soul
Stay forever & a day
Linger here
Tell me, have you love to spare?
I miss you!
Welcome to my haunted heart
Never leave
Ghost I love, make a bed
Here with me
Ghost I love.
Only lacking are the wisps of you
Ah, the touch…
Brush my breast with your breeze
Earthy cool
Rest with me; come, talk awhile
Calm my soul
Stay forever & a day
Linger here
Tell me, have you love to spare?
I miss you!
Welcome to my haunted heart
Never leave
Ghost I love, make a bed
Here with me

The Goddess Within
Dormant she lay
For decades
Lay in chains
In a dungeon of belief
Her pious slaver
Playing “servant” while
Subjugating secrets
Unfairly secreted away
She finally broke the chains
But habit, her new keeper,
Kept her broken
Kept her fearful in the dark
Soul shattered and ashamed
Guilty of her power, her divinity
Until you came
Gently you crept
Softly you sang
Secretly you dressed the pain
With bandages of love
Bringing the balm of a new belief
A new faith
The powerful...

With you
How can I form in words
The strength and sense of these feelings?
I need memories
More memories
With you
I need to share the world
parceled out in seconds
delivered sense by sense
Absorbed one by one
With you.
I need to sit on a quiet dock
With you
Through several sunsets
I need to build a bonfire
With you
And feel it warm and heal my heart
I need to walk into your presence
And hand-in-hand walk through
An endless chain of moments
With you
Once upon a faraway time ...

closure
I think if I saw you
Maybe then I could close the pages
At least it worked that way
With others
(Though the truth is,
You’re unlike any other!)
If you’ve really
Written the final chapter
Then I could read it on your face
Then I could find a way
To be ok
To say “Goodbye”
I think I need to see you
Breath the same airspace
To know you’ve changed your scent
To know that we weren’t meant
To be an “us”
Without this closure
I fear I’ll forever seek
What once was ...
Maybe then I could close the pages
At least it worked that way
With others
(Though the truth is,
You’re unlike any other!)

of banished demons
would I welcome change
that offered only dark unknown?
or would I rather have the demons
with whom I have long lived
than risk returning to worse devils
I have seen exist
(long ago, in another lifetime)
It’s not just the unknown I fear
It’s the known possibilities:
Rage, poverty, fear,
Autonomy suppressed,
Guilt, failure…
Perhaps I’d rather be
Comfortably sad, empty, lonely
Than live in fear again…
that offered only dark unknown?
or would I rather have the demons
with whom I have long lived

Autonomy suppressed,

Again
I’ve angered or upset you
Haven’t I?
In my need
I touched a nerve
Of fear or disdain
This is my MO
I hope at least my children
Can grow up free
From this heavy weight of baggage
These heirlooms are worthless
Worse
They are poison
Tainting possibilities
Of trust
Haven’t I?
In my need
I touched a nerve
Of fear or disdain
This is my MO
I hope at least my children
Can grow up free
From this heavy weight of baggage
These heirlooms are worthless
Worse
They are poison
Tainting possibilities
Of trust

A Midnight Plea
I do think
You see my pleas
You care for me
At least to some degree
Yet what I cannot comprehend
Is why you turn away
You stand, a stony cliff
On which my tears crash and spray
As you remain
Unchanged
I do so often feel
The love I promised to believe in
Still holds true
But tonight I doubt
And think i am the fool
An injured wreck
At best you sometimes pity
At worst you hate & fear
Yet, even in this hopeless night
I love and want you, Dear.
My hollow longs to hear
Even just a whispered...
You see my pleas
You care for me
At least to some degree
Yet what I cannot comprehend
Is why you turn away
You stand, a stony cliff
On which my tears crash and spray
As you remain
Unchanged
I do so often feel
The love I promised to believe in
Still holds true
But tonight I doubt
And think i am the fool
An injured wreck
At best you sometimes pity
At worst you hate & fear
Yet, even in this hopeless night
I love and want you, Dear.
My hollow longs to hear
Even just a whispered...

The Photograph
I seek through the memories
Searching for
The current
A now face
To adore
No one holds photographs
Anymore
The album I seek
Is sticky new
Untouched
Empty
These faces do not age
Giving time its proper due
Remake the old renew
Into yesterday or even tomorrow
Impossible
The photograph
Is lost
Searching for
The current
A now face
To adore
No one holds photographs
Anymore
The album I seek
Is sticky new
Untouched
Empty
These faces do not age
Giving time its proper due
Remake the old renew
Into yesterday or even tomorrow
Impossible
The photograph
Is lost

The good remains
I don’t think I could ever
Regret knowing you, meeting you
Loving you, holding you
I cannot resent you
For your needs, your fears,
Your dreams and commitments
I could never
Would never
Hate you
All I know is to love
I only regret hurting you
My only sorrow the loss of you
My fear is that I hurt you still
My tears are for your are absence
My searchlight seeks your kindness
Whatever else I have said,
Please know,
The only lasting sentiment
Is this seeking for the missing piece
The fullness of...

Sunk in your eyes
I’m aching for the perfect blue sea of you
Your rhythmic waves reach
Keep reaching for my thirsty shores
Only to withdraw their savory foam from my grasp
I rush to you
Begging for the washing peace
The cool waters of you
Pull me fully into you
Flow around and through my desires
I touch your ache too
Let my red kisses warm
Trust me with your love
I’m gentle, I care
I’ll be subtle, sweet
I love
Let me be the soothing sand beneath your waters
Hide us in the blue of your eyes
I belong to you ...
Your rhythmic waves reach
Keep reaching for my thirsty shores
Only to withdraw their savory foam from my grasp
I rush to you
Begging for the washing peace
The cool waters of you
Pull me fully into you
Flow around and through my desires
I touch your ache too
Let my red kisses warm
Trust me with your love
I’m gentle, I care
I’ll be subtle, sweet
I love
Let me be the soothing sand beneath your waters
Hide us in the blue of your eyes
I belong to you ...
