Amelia's Box
He spied her in the crowded bar,
A local haunt for regulars,
The pregame, postgame, game time refuge.
In a rolling sea of moving bodies,
Voices crashed and chased each other in crescendo,
She remained still, quiet, ethereal.
She does not belong here.
That was his first lucid thought through an alcohol induced haze.
What is she doing here?
For her part, she sat peacefully, hands atop the bar,
Her auburn locks fell full and loose,
A cascade of fire tumbling over pale shoulders.
He approached, straightening...

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...

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
When was the last time we were together by the sea shores feeling, the cool water rush up against our skin as we embrace the moment of the silence, and the deepness within the beauty of listening to the music of the ocean breeze. When was the last time we were together, as we walk across the beach leaving our footprints in the sand, as we feel the warmth of the sun slowly begin to warm the depth of our heart and soul. When was the last time we were together as one, as you continue to show me your deepest level of emotions and feelings with unconditional love. For I remember it was at the...

HER ROCK OF STONE
Have you ever looked into the depth of her eyes and see the hurt along with the process of pain, that screams within the deepness swirling around in the depth of her heart. Have you ever wondered through the stairway of her mind, deep within the subconsciousness of her thoughts were symmetries and lines become cross. For have you ever touched her heart through, the whispers of her silent tears that falls down her face staining the depth of her soul of souls. For have you ever noticed how she hides so much within her and still be, willing and able to give unconditionally granting you access...

My Heart Offers
My heart offers a kinder reflection
Worn proudly on this threadbare sleeve
It still beats for love still beats for you
A little older no wiser
Just a heart of dirty gold
I live every moment in dreamland
Images of laying you down on a bed of roses
Surrounded by burning candles
Seduction should be something tried often
A romantic side seldom seen
Chasing your shadow
Cause that’s all you show
If my light shone on you
Would it reveal all
Or do you keep more secrets
Just show me what you...
Worn proudly on this threadbare sleeve
It still beats for love still beats for you
A little older no wiser
Just a heart of dirty gold
I live every moment in dreamland
Images of laying you down on a bed of roses
Surrounded by burning candles
Seduction should be something tried often
A romantic side seldom seen
Chasing your shadow
Cause that’s all you show
If my light shone on you
Would it reveal all

Not The One You Love
Not The One You Love'
{Verse 1}
Thought you were the one for me
I gave you my body
But you
were deception behind a smile
I had no self-control
I couldn't escape,
withdraw from you
I turned into somebody else
{Chorus}
I knew this day was coming
So do I deserve the pain?
You completely wrecked my head
And I'd let you do it all again
{Verse 2}
How'd we get our wires crossed?
You kissed my mouth
I kissed your heart
I am a fool for accepting you
Told myself to walk away
I...

Dear Whomever (Love Bunny)
Dear Whomever,
I don't want to call you out but I noticed you distancing yourself lately. Is it the fact that you don't want to talk to me anymore? Or that I've become too much to handle? When you figure out yourself why you ignore my requests to speak then get back to me. In the mean time I'll just be dropping all of the signs for you to stay with me. Subtle signs that hopefully you'll pick up on before you drop me completely. The point is: if you hate me then don't say you want to date me. Don't call me your bunny then ghost me for no end. I will hop and you don't own me.

Human is the New Black
We all came from Africa
We all have the same mothers
We all need policing
We all need civility

Unrequited
I take a breath
To slow these thoughts right down
There's a storm of emotions brewing
Need to check their meaning
Before i act upon them
Nature's law is confusing
The human condition can misread the signs
Fool you into thinking
There's more than there really is
Yet her smile is all consuming
I don't own my senses
These feelings start and end with her
Am i that strange
That i want to believe
In the miracle of love
I have been here before
Still doesn't get any easier
Could she see me as i...

secret garden of memories~with Newbeginnings
she whispered eternities under her breath
and in bated anticipation, she waited
before she faded into the ether
days grew long and ever bitter
the winter’s bane, it splintered bone
where sparrows cry and never twitter
on a path of stone and broken hearts
like a gateway to her private hell
spoken poems, like tomes to the dead
demons break into her mind
black clouds rain down on her head
midnight wept for her sorrow
for days when the sun still shined

Once Upon a What If....
Sitting close to shadow,
Not quite in the black,
But deeply into the gray,
Where I can hear my heart tick-tock,
Where I can feel my blood running its course,
Where my mind leaps and pirouettes.
It is in the quiet stillness of this twilight place,
When fantasies arrive unbidden and unwanted,
Where questions dance and careen with no end,
This is where loneliness born of hope lives,
Apart from smiles and summer heat,
Tucked deep inside situational comedy.
What would come of it?
If I reached out and touched your hand. ...

Tucked deep inside situational comedy.

The collector
I am one, thats only half
in that asunder I live alone bereft
that fate's smooth runes, gleaned forecast
come winds of love, some chance and waft
To seek for an eternal flame
Showroom newness, manifest a gleeming dream
the untouched, not used and lame
to smell its comfort, beauty so pristine
Are my standards far to high
to hoard the orchard's cherry fruit
the early bird and soaring kite
soft pink flesh, be my sole pursuit
Seek and find the well run dry
try to draw and wind the crank and drum
for her...
