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 salty 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 ...

Conundrum
I wish I could find a way
I wish I knew a path to take
That could show you the depth of my love
Without the pain
I wish I knew a path to take
That could show you the depth of my love

Crash into Chaos
On a stroll
Enjoying time
When desire crashed
Into my mind
I thought of you—
Your presence, Your hold
Your words, Your hand
Your companionship, Your love
And I missed you so acutely
Throughout the remainder
Of the walk
The longing grew
With nothing to appease
Or lightly satisfy
Nothing to spark hope
Until as darkness fell
My imagination fell
To darker lines of thought
Until that burning passion for you
Crashed into chaos
Choked into unshed tears
My dreams are dismal
Without you ...

The artist’s canvas
Pricking stings
to songs of Prince
As I watched the colors of love
Etching symbols
(Memories & Dreams)
Hearts & flowers
Pain & Pleasure
Then & Now & Forever
Under the supple skin
Of my thigh

Touched
I wear a heart on my skin
Where your hand once had been
Etched in the colors of us
It feels touched by the sun
Though no rays have come
From the side of the world you live in
It burns hot as the love I bear
For you, whether embers or flare
always longing for friendship and passion
To ever hold close the dream
That Someday your love will be seen
Tracing the lines of my heart
Where your hand once had been
Etched in the colors of us
It feels touched by the sun
Though no rays have come
From the side of the world you live in
It burns hot as the love I bear
For you, whether embers or flare
always longing for friendship and passion
To ever hold close the dream
That Someday your love will be seen
Tracing the lines of my heart

Shivers of You
You rushed down my spine
Like the startling shiver of ice
Fingers tickling trickling down neck & back
The kind that fires the blood
Until warm tingles spread to fingers & toes
Until the whole body burns with desire
I somehow knew
You thought of me
You wanted me
You found a second of satisfaction
Because of me
It’s these moments
These moments
Moments of you
You who I adore
I live for …

Cross my mind
Yes, you
You do
Right now
Thinking of you
Fondly
Friendly
I wish for you
As usual
I miss you
P.S. just saw
Memories
I miss knowing you
In the now
But I love
The memories
There’s more
Please don’t let sadness
Overpower
Relax into my love,
My Love
You do
Right now
Thinking of you

In the now
But I love

There’s more
Please don’t let sadness

Fall to Fly
Fall into me
As I’ve fallen into you
It doesn’t matter
if you are not yet ready
To catch my trust
I’m floating on the clouds you left behind
It’s where I remain
Through the foggy days
And blackened nights
If my faith collides against your walls
Of fear…It’s ok
My belief is gentle, soft & fluid
Ever renewed by love of you
A blanket of assurance
Where your cynicism, doubts
Can go to sleep
So take the fall
To float
To fly
Bounding through these clouds together
Soaring above the truths of life ...

The Never Was
Especially just now
I wish you could be my home
How is it possible to miss
What never was?
Yet that’s what hurts most acutely
With missing you
Since you were never really mine
I wish you could be my home
How is it possible to miss
What never was?

Trapped in the Spiral
Feeling that familiar trap
Sprung again
Breaking another part of me
Fears & worries overcome
Frustrations and anger
Collide with guilt & empathy
Where do I end?
Where do they begin?
Do I even exist in this picture?
Or am I buried by the bigger egos?
Am I deluded, really filling all the spaces?
Do I give more than take?
Or take more than give?
Why do I feel so much guilt & judgment
Triggered
By him, from him?
What is the true reality
And where do I
And mine
Fit?
Will I be safe? Sane?...

My Everything
Does it scare or flatter you to know
you’re the one who fills my waking dreams?
You are every memory and wish
Livening my fantasies
You are my favorite friend
My greatest crush
My deepest love
You are and ever will be
My lover most desired
Full of passion, most fulfilling
You are my hero
And my devil
You are my past, my future hope
You are my obsession
And I like it
When you fill my everything
Because you are my heaven
you’re the one who fills my waking dreams?
You are every memory and wish
Livening my fantasies
You are my favorite friend
My greatest crush
My deepest love
You are and ever will be
My lover most desired
Full of passion, most fulfilling
You are my hero
And my devil
You are my past, my future hope
You are my obsession
And I like it
When you fill my everything
Because you are my heaven
