My Luna
Imagine loving the same person your whole life.
Now imagine you're over a million years old.
You've loved that person since the day the earth was born.
You love everything about him. The way he lights up the world without even trying and how he treats everyone with generosity.
"If only he looked at me like that," said the moon.

No Longer A Man or All Seasons
Spring will never again be sprung
It’s like it’s trying to breathe with only one lung
Strangely, birdsong is differently strange
Like a nails down a chalkboard kinda range
Lambs apparently no energy to bink
I have no inclinations to try to think
Normally colourful spring flowers, are grey
Nothing seems awesome, nothing so gay
The death that was winter continues as spring
I have nothing to write, nothing to sing
The daffodils not yellow, the hue of coal
Dead leaves not enough to cover my dead soul
...

1 + 2 does not mean free
Why must beauty already be gone?
Why must love be a sad, sad song?
Why do I keep on falling for the wrong one?
Why did I not meet you, before you tried that ring on?
Love is stupendous! And stupidly stupid.
Thanks a lot Cupid, look who you stuck me with.
Did you miss-fire or was this all planned?
Stupid Cupid, stupid arrow,
Stuck through the one who already has a man.
Narrow boats float side by side,
Along the river and into the blue.
Pictures painted from the bank only ever show two,
But under the clock...

Truth, truth, observation, exsanguination
Loving to be "it was a pleasure to have served you today" subservient.
lunch- I'M IN THE BOX;
DO TASTE !
teeth-TAKE YOU NOT ME;
EMBRACE !
you.. everyday
in the corner of my mind.
my nicotine,
famine queen,
act real cool; black leather mean.
you split in two,
domino.
spit in two of my faces,
separated from host being;
residual residue.
it shifts to her;
you melt into hot liquid machine gun fire.
she glances at me down the hall,
pentagram daggar...

Did i scratch the surface?
Is it your looks that lunge my breath from lungs,
your thousand burning yellow suns,
I have grown smitten
my sincerest apologies?
revolution churning fortress flags,
define me or you to doe from stag,
fire starter of the loins leering from the shade of branch & trees & sky so green.
pussycat;
tucked neatly away in my starry eyed mind's vault combination,
a certain shadows sadness grows in wake of rain and condensation.
is it my fault that your pixie cut threw me away
for re-use?
poised in a gaze...
your thousand burning yellow suns,
I have grown smitten

Who I am
I look at the words and I have noticed that they are changing
You have become so far from my reach, I see no point in pleasing our curiosity
You have found your peace and that is all I have ever wanted for you
Nothing for me could be further from the truth that my words are still bleeding out of my head
No matter how long I walk on this edge, I find myself slipping every time
After I catch myself and hang on again
I often wonder why I cling to your crumbling boulders
Or why I reach for the ledge of your slippery edge
Always you have had a place for me...
You have become so far from my reach, I see no point in pleasing our curiosity
You have found your peace and that is all I have ever wanted for you
Nothing for me could be further from the truth that my words are still bleeding out of my head
No matter how long I walk on this edge, I find myself slipping every time
After I catch myself and hang on again
I often wonder why I cling to your crumbling boulders
Or why I reach for the ledge of your slippery edge
Always you have had a place for me...

you can't love a dead gurl
I need to find my voice
And purge my throat
Of all of these poisons
I loved you madly.
But the ravens always
Lurked nearby
And the grave was dug
Before you came.
But please...
Don’t
Try to
Kiss me...
Or come searching
For the splinters
In my eyes.
You unwittingly
Chained my soul
To you
But you are free
From mine.
And purge my throat
Of all of these poisons
I loved you madly.
But the ravens always
Lurked nearby
And the grave was dug
Before you came.
But please...
Don’t
Try to
Kiss me...
Or come searching
For the splinters
In my eyes.
You unwittingly
Chained my soul
To you
But you are free
From mine.

are you ready for love
Hey queen, I hate that you been ran through by dudes and you don't know your self worth to put a stop to it. Talking about you doing you and you can do what you want. You so better than that why would you put yourself through that drama something that you don't have to go through, but you say that love is sweet, now it's turning sour everyday of the week, because you not loving yourself, so how you going to expect someone to love you. So, let me take you on a sweet journey with me, let me help with your understanding that you is a beautiful woman and that you can do anything that you put...

Tracing The Outline
Tracing the outline of curves
I want to love every inch
To know each blemish on her skin
Burn it to my memory
Like her beauty burns In these eyes
This is how dreams are imagined
Crossing lines to picture her
Where she bares her soul undercover
Soft hair laying on sensual shoulders
Eyes closed in her sanctuary
Sinful thoughts crash through
Her naked being breathless
A wild flower spreading petals
Her scent rising into the night
Capturing my senses
The fire is growing in my soul
She...
I want to love every inch
To know each blemish on her skin
Burn it to my memory
Like her beauty burns In these eyes
This is how dreams are imagined
Crossing lines to picture her
Where she bares her soul undercover
Soft hair laying on sensual shoulders
Eyes closed in her sanctuary
Sinful thoughts crash through
Her naked being breathless
A wild flower spreading petals
Her scent rising into the night
Capturing my senses
The fire is growing in my soul

It's Just The Way It Is
The sun streams through the blinds
Morning breaks me awake with brightness
A gospel choir of birds tweet out the truth
It's a glorious warm but humid morning
It feels so great to be alive for once
I turn my head and see a vision of beauty
She lies there in a gentle restful sleep
Her strawberry blonde hair, a bird’s nest
Her lips pout her eyes tightly shut snoozing
I have all of the blanket I sometimes hog
Memories of what we did last night flood back
They give me a morning wooden tent pole
I longingly admire her...
Morning breaks me awake with brightness
A gospel choir of birds tweet out the truth
It's a glorious warm but humid morning
It feels so great to be alive for once
I turn my head and see a vision of beauty
She lies there in a gentle restful sleep
Her strawberry blonde hair, a bird’s nest
Her lips pout her eyes tightly shut snoozing
I have all of the blanket I sometimes hog
Memories of what we did last night flood back
They give me a morning wooden tent pole

Nucular winter wasteland
A spice rack of flavor would crush me,
you're lips fell upon mine;
lemon thyme.
empty canteen left me for desert dead,
I miss your warring words, left me parched;
succulent in the sands.
rain soiled me with your memory,
shoot down the mistletoe .
these dirty dishes in the sink stagnate.
Pacific coast rhododendron
be my evergreen.
you're lips fell upon mine;
lemon thyme.
empty canteen left me for desert dead,
I miss your warring words, left me parched;
succulent in the sands.
rain soiled me with your memory,
shoot down the mistletoe .
these dirty dishes in the sink stagnate.
Pacific coast rhododendron
be my evergreen.
